"The play proceeds well. How go your lines?" Titania looked from the fairy playing Hyppolita, to the one playing Hermia, and narrowed her eyes. "Is there some difficulty?"

Queens expect to be answered.

Nadia cringed and very, very awkwardly curtseyed. "Miss Majesty, I'm boooooo-ooooooored,"

It would be one of the youngest, to take such a large part. "Then you should have taken another as your host. Do you become too distracted, you may leave." Her eyes narrowed. "But you know what consequence disappointing your monarch may bring."

"Yes, Miss Majesty," Nadia said in a bored yet defferential tone of voice. She was staring down at her shoes and tilting her feet around. Then she looked up and hissed in a loud whisper. "I think my host has to go to the potty!"

Titania pointed off-stage toward the restrooms and shook her head without speaking, looking way in disgruntlement.

Nadia crossed and uncrossed her legs a few times, bouncing, and then scurried off towards the restrooms. Fortunately, Nadia knew where they were, which one to use, etc.

Unfortunately, she might not be successful in convincing herself not to play hide and seek when she's done in the bathroom.

"Oh, no difficulty at all Majesty." the cantacerious old biddy in Pippi's body said to her queen.

"I've just said my only line for the next two hours and I'm enjoying my vacation back stage."

"Find other ways of amusing yourself, if you are at such a loss. The menials who work the props; the mechanicals who sweep the stage. Have what sport with them you may, if this does not please you," Titania said coolly. "Or still thy tongue and wait thy cue."

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Most certainly Majesty." The fairy playing Hyppolita replied.

"I see you've faired well for a body. Are you enjoying yourself? Is the... Ass handsome?"

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

Titania's smile on Parker's face was extremely satisfied. "Pleasing in form, and pleasing in presentation. My host took pains to dress him in ridiculous and flattering finery, but it does suit with him well." She smiled wickedly. "And one that you well know has pleased me 'ere this, does wear his shape."

Is she insulting her husband?

Yeah.

Two people giggle laugh with one voice.

Callisto leant against the wall laughing. "Jus' great My Queen, although blondie here is such a prude. One little suggestion of fun and she's all 'No, my boyfriend'll get jealous.'"

Yeah, just wait til I get my hands on you. Tramp.

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

Titania raised a sardonic brow. "Do no lasting damage. We are watched by one with the power to end this game early. But if it causes no permanent harm, then the child must deal with your actions as best she may."

Call yourself a Queen? You--

Silence!

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

You guys got Parker too? ARE YOU INSANE?

Yeah, whatever, important thing is My Queen said I could have fun. Callisto grinned and twirled a finger through her hair. "My Queen, apparently this mortal has a pet vampire."

HANDS OFF THE VAMPIRE!!!

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Titania's expression of disgust was hard-edged. "As a pet? With what art did a mortal ensnare a creature of the dark?"

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Considering how little grace she's serving me as steed with I doubt the collar's around her neck." Callisto looked down at her chest and snickered. "I suspect that these great breasts had something to do with it, My Queen."

Blair grinned and leaned against the wall, hooking his fingers in his belt loops. "It's all going well for me, ya Majesty."

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. The child does not fight your possession?" She cocked her head at him, tapping her lip with one finger.

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair ran his hands down his chest and leered at the queen. "He was interested at first, he was thinking about research and writing a paper. But after a few....grown-up situations...he retreated farther in. Haven't heard hide nor hair of him for a while."

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Have a care, Niloc. No lasting harm may come to your host. Do not afright him so he never returns." Titania's voice is verging on bored as she studies him. "For the rest, we are not displeased. If they do tempt us with these seemings, they should expect naught else."

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Blair shrugged and looked past the queen to leer at Pippi. "Just playing around a bit. He'll be fine. I'm not going to take his virginity from him or anything."

'At least he wasn't planning on doing that,' he thought, 'but who was he to mess with fate if it happened.'

"This girl is insufferable! Oi! I resent that! And I can't tell if she's British or not."

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"She seems most persistent." Titania frowned, and moved closer, then spoke in tones of command. "Girl? What is your name?"

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

[swerval_zero]

Zero rolled her eyes. "I'm not that smatcheting stupid. Names have power. You can learn that reading comic books." Puck hissed, "You should not be so disrespectful to our queen." Then, through gritted teeth. "Why not? She's not my queen! And you helped drug her!" He delivered a well-aimed jab to her mind. "OW!"

Re: BACKSTAGE: - After Act I Scene I

Titania gave a surprised laugh. "Canny and brave. For that, we forgive your impertinence, mortal. Robin never drugged Us in the manner of this play, though he has played the fool for Oberon often enough in the past." Her voice lowered. "We do swear, no lasting harm shall come to you and yours from these our revels. Do but allow our courtier his chance, and at the close of the play, you shall be thyself alone again."
