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

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.]

Very evenly, Parker replied, "Then I must be thy lady." She shook her head at him, then went on, "but I know when thou hast stolen away from fairy land, and in the shape of Corin sat all day, playing on pipes of corn and versing love to amorous Phillida." She paused, her chin going up in challenge, and then said very softly, "How is your buskin'd Amazon and your lady love?"

Oberon (or is it Lee?) growls at that and retorts, "How canst thou thus for shame, Titania, glance at my credit with Hippolyta, knowing I know thy love to Theseus?" He continues with the list of wrongs done against Theseus' other lovers due to her caprice.

Parker found herself laughing in true amusement, wishing she were guilty of all that, instead of the stupidity she'd committed earlier in the day. "These are the forgeries of jealousy." Parker (or Titania?) cocked her head at him, and smiled evilly, then went into glorious detail on the litany of disasters that their fighting had caused. "And this same progeny of evils comes from our debate, from our dissension; We are their parents and original," she finished grimly, studying Lee with as much intensity as she was capable of.

He takes her hand again and presses it against his heart. "Do you amend it then; it lies in you: Why should Titania cross her Oberon? I do but beg a little changeling boy, To be my henchman," he canjoles almost kindly.

" Set your heart at rest: The fairy land buys not the child of me." And it was so easy, today, to draw her hand away. Not icy, but simply detached, feeling as remote as a distant shore. She went on to explain all the whys of Titania, then finished with a determined, "And for her sake do I rear up her boy, And for her sake I will not part with him." And if she was thinking of someone else, well. That only made it easier.

"How long within this wood intend you stay?" he asks, feigning boredom.

"Perhaps until after Theseus' wedding day." Parker studied Lee, remembering her dream from the night before, and shook her head, having to force meaning into her next words. "If you will patiently dance in our round, and see our moonlight revels, go with us--"

And she paused. "Damnit."

He smiles, picturing her dancing in his arms, and then the smile falters, waiting for her next line.

Parker looked away, then muttered, "Sorry, Lee, I just... hang on." She bit her lip, shaking her head, trying to remember, then rolled her eyes. "My problem, not yours."

"If not, shun me, and I will spare your haunts."

He takes her hand again and kisses the palm. "Give me that boy, and I will go with thee," he asks sweetly.

"But you wouldn't," Parker whispered, then spoke aloud. "Not for thy fairy kingdom." She tilted her head. "But maybe you were right.Fairies, away! We shall chide downright, if I longer stay."

She pulled her hand out of his, and gave him a very careful smile.

He gave her a mock bow. "Well, go thy way," he said softly, a cruel glint in his tone.

And Parker slapped him, hard and sharp.

Then her eyes widened in shock.

He narrowed his eyes and smacked her right back. He shook as he said, "Thou shalt not from this grove till I torment thee for this injury."

Parker's eyes stung for a second, and for one long moment Lee was in real danger of getting punched in the face. Fair was fair, though. She hit him first.

She got her breath back, and gave him her most Maleficent smile, then very deliberately turned her back on him and stalked toward the edge of the stage, jumped off it, and then strode out of the auditorium through the audience.
