School Auditorium: MSND rehearsal (4-7 PM FHT)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

There are snacks and assorted beverages on a table to the side, and the house lights are up.

The stage lighting is still a little beyond Rory, so the simple overhead fluorescents will have to do for the day.

And by the door, there's a sign-in sheet.

Actors? Your stage awaits.

*Hamlet, after having been unknowingly frozen in marble for a week and a half, is shocked to see the auditorium full of people with scripts. He sticks his head in to find out what's going on.*

Rehearsals are happening already? Has a cast listing for the play even been posted yet?

"Um, yeah," Rory said slowly. "Hi, Hamlet. We've known for almost two weeks."

*Hamlet blinks at this, not quite taking this in.*

Two weeks? Aren't they supposed to be posted tomorrow before class?

"Um...no," Rory replied. "Are you okay? Did you like, hit your head or anything?"

*His brow furrows in confusion, in that way that brows do.*

Not as far as I am aware of. I may have been blinded by those hideous ice dancing costumes this afternoon, but I don't recall hitting my head on anything today.

"Ice dancing?" Rory asked. "That was awhile ago. Seriously, Hamlet, I think you're like a week and a half to two weeks behind us."

*He still feels confused. Two weeks? It only feels like he was watching the Olympics a couple hours ago.*

So ... then I take that it is no longer the 19th?

"It's the first. Of March," she supplied.

*He blinks several times in surprise and falls back against a wall.*

The First of March? ... Then I seem to have lost several complete days somewhere, and I cannot for the life of me guess as to where they went.

*He tries to let this sink in, but it won't. He decides to move to a hopefully clearer topic.*

You said that the cast list was up?

"Yup, you're Theseus," Rory nodded. "Want a script?" She offered one to him.

*Hamlet took it gladly.*

Yes, thank you. I've never heard of this playwright before, and I must admit that I have no idea what this play is about. Will I be fighting the Minotaur in this?

"Not that I know of, but we also have a pirate and a ninja that I didn't know of..."

*He nods at this, still having no idea what the play is about.*

Perhaps they were added to the script in a revised edition of the play.
