School Auditorium: MSND Rehearsal (1-5 p.m. FST)

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All members of the production got an email this morning telling them to report to the auditorium at 1 p.m. EST to rehearse acts I and II and the "extra" bits of the play. When they gather, they will find Dream sitting on the bare stage, looking rather impatient.

"You are here to rehearse the play. I believe you can manage that. If you are playing the Tooth Fairy,
Steve Austin, Jaime Sommers, Lobster, Drunken Pirate, Kickass Ninja or Chuck Norris, please report to the orchestra pit to discuss your roles with me. Otherwise, read through Acts I and II in their entirety."

That said, Dream moves to the orchestra pit and takes a seat. He may be waiting for the student directors to join him.

[OOC: I'll be in and out today -- please ping me in email or on AIM if you need me. Otherwise, this adventure is entirely Choose Your Own Crack. Cast list is here, whole play is here.]

"I'm good with whatever. Parker and I were just bored sitting around."

Lana paused then looked a little mischievious. "Or we could always do dueling Hermias and Helenas."

Nadia grinned. "That could be fun. Or I could be the lobster." Nadia made "claws" out of her hands and snapped them a few times at Lana.

"Lobster?" Lana said looking confused. "Sure, I guess. And just what part does the lobster play in the girls' little non-lovefest?"

Re: Act II

[nadiathesaint]

"I don't know, but the cast list said 'lobster', so it has to show up somewhere, right?"

Re: Act II

Lana looked a little bemused. "That's right," she said. "I'd forgotten the strange add-on characters. I wonder what they *are* going to do with them."

"Oh! and speaking of things I forgot. Happy Birthday! Sorry I didn't make your party. I went to take a nap and didn't wake up till this morning."

Re: Act II

"Trust me, that's more than okay. But thanks." Nadia glanced around. She didn't know a whole lot about lobsters other than that they had claws and looked like big red bugs. "I need . . . ." she held her fingers by her forehead to indicate antenae. "Thingies. To be a lobster."

Re: Act II

"And one of those long flippy under tails," Lana said seriously. "Though I don't know how you'd manage to walk like that."

Re: Act II

"She does. But we also need a Lysander." Parker looked over at Xander and grinned. "Oh look. Close enough. Ohhhh, Xannnnderrrrrrr...."

Re: Act II

[nadiathesaint]

"I'll stick with the thingies." And Nadia wanders off to find 'thingies'.

And comes back, having located pipe cleaners.

Molly is a little confused now. "So, am I reading Hermia then? If Xander comes, we'll have one too many people."

Re: Act II

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You be Hermia, Molly. I'll stand over here and be a Greek soldier, or one of the senators," Parker said, grinning. "And he hasn't got a choice. Ohhh, Xander," she cooed, "Get your ass over here, bucko."

Re: Act II

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander, sitting in the front row with his feet propped on the stage, didn't move. "Why exactly do my ass and I not have a choice?"

Re: Act II

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Because we need a guy, and Blair is MIA, and I'm saying please?" She stalked to the apron, then grinned down at him. "Be a sport. Let Nadia be a lobster. Isn't she cute like that?" She cocked a threatening eyebrow at him. It was a toss-up about whether she'd go down there and physically drag him onstage, if you were looking at her face.

Re: Act II

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly steped up next to Parker. "Please, Xander? I need a Lysander," she told him with her best puppy dog expression.

Re: Act II

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"So am I still Helena? And do I get a Demetrius?" Lana asked with a grin.

Re: Act II

[nadiathesaint]

"Ooo, maybe Xander can be both." Nadia shot a lobster!puppy-dog look at her big brother. "Pleeeeeease Xander?"

Re: Act II

[soldtoarmenians]

"Parker's been teaching you the mean and evil act, hasn't she." And yet Xander was setting his laptop aside and scrambling up onto the stage. He couldn't decide if it was the lobster antennae or the fact that Parker had actually uttered the word please.

Re: Act II

[nadiathesaint]

"What mean and evil act?" asked Nadia, the perfect picture of innocense and light.

Oh, it was the lobster antennae, alright. No one could resist the antennae.

Re: Act II

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Wonderful!" Parker punched a hand upward in victory, grinning. "Helena? I mean, Lana? You were at 'The more I love, the more he hateth me.' Molly? You ready?"

Parker perched on top of chair, and tried to look sober and senatorial. The grin probably didn't help.

Re: Act II

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yup!" Molly said.

Re: Act II

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Yes, right, sorry," Lana said with a smile at everyone.


She turned to Molly and looked woebegone. "The more I love, the more he hateth me."

Re: Act II

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly gave Lana a sad look. "His folly, Helena, is no fault of mine."

Re: Act II

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana's look turns to one of anger, "None, but your beauty: would that fault were mine!"

Re: Act II

"They will act as a Greek chorus, performing songs to complement the action, Miss Lang," Dream called.

Re: Act II

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana nodded politely. "Thank you, Professor." She turned back to the others.

"A Greek chorus, *with* lobster," she said sotto voce. "Only in fandom."
