Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large burst of smoke appeared on stage and when it cleared, the handkerchiefs had turned into two cages of doves. One of the doves fell over in the cage, choking on the smoke.

Over the next couple minutes he disappeared cards, linked and unlinked rings, and made his cast say "GO GREMLINS." It was slightly more impressive than should normally be expected from GOB.

When the music wound down, GOB stepped up to the microphone. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and others. Today you will witness the finest example of amateur talent you have ever seen. Unless they suck. If they suck, you should make sure they know they suck. Not just today. Boo them this weekend, too. They'll deserve it for making me a liar."

"Anyway, let's hear it for today's acts!"

"Marie!" Conner yelled, bouncing over and giving her a hug. "You were great!"

"Thanks," Marie said, returning the hug and trying to keep her blushing under control for once. "And thank you for helping me pick the song."

"You picked up the CD," Conner pointed out. "I just looked at the track listing."

He held up the little "GO MARIE!" sign he'd made and grinned. "Can I get your autograph?"

Okay, so much for controlling the blushing thing. "You're kidding, right?" she asked.

Bel approached Marie. "Hey, annoying one," he said. "Nice performance."

Marie grinned. "Thanks," she said. "How come you didn't perform?"

Re: Talk to the Talent

Bel rolled his eyes. "Riiiiight."

"What? I'm sure you have talents besides being grumpy," Marie teased.

"Thanks!" Marie said, giving her roommate a hug.

Willow hugged her back. "Did you hear me cheering? I cheered. I would've held up one of those lighters too except I don't smoke and I think it would've set off the sprinkler system anyway."

Re: Talk to the Talent

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I did hear you cheering," Marie nodded. "And I think setting off the sprinklers would have probably been bad."

"I didn't know you played the piano. Or knew showtunes."

Kawalsky went to look for Marie, but saw she was busy, so figured he'd catch her later.

Marie spotted Charlie and walked over to him with a grin.

"Hey! You did great!" she said.

Re: Talk to the Talent

Charlie grinned. "Thanks. You were fantastic, Marie. Got the perfect song and all."

Jamie waves at Marie as he puts an ice pack on a swelling black eye. "You were great."

Re: Talk to the Talent

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"So were you. Um, all of you," Marie tells him. "You okay?"

Re: Talk to the Talent

Jamie chuckled and then winced before shifting the eyepack on his eye and fidgeting with his toga. "Uh. Got a little carried away up there. You have a really nice singing voice."
