fandomhigh | Basic Acting, Fourth Period, Tuesday

Daisy was seated in her oversized arm chair at the side of the classroom reading a copy of Playbill magazine when the students entered. There was a stack of papers on the podium with a sign stating "take one" above them. When everyone had entered and had some time to take the quiz, she set aside her magazine and gracefully got to her feet.

"As the papers say, those quizzes are not going to be graded. That wouldn't be fair, and apparently fairness, though not required in the majority of the real world, is something that you kids are supposed to get in a classroom setting. They're simply a bit of fun and to find out what you already know about the basic terminology of theater." She picked up another stack of papers and started passing those out. "On these sheets, you'll find the correct answers to the quiz, as well as a lot of other facts and terminology about theater. Some of these terms you, as actors, will never actually need to know. That's pretty much anything about lighting or sound equipment, if you're wondering. But a lot of them you do need to know. When a director tells you you need to cheat out, or to move upstage left, if you end up looking up the answers to your history test or walking forwards and to your right, you might be in a bit of trouble.

"So today we're going to practice some of these terms. I want you to pair up or work in groups of three. You'll take turns as the actor and as the director, and I want to you block an imaginary scene. The director will give you instructions using the terms on these sheets, and you'll follow them. Or don't. That's really up to you and I can't actually tell you what to do, but as long as you understand the terms, I don't really care."

That said, Daisy gestured for the students the students to begin and made herself ready to move from group to group and help out where necessary.

[ooc: The link to the quiz is to a backdated poll, please, if you choose to fill it out, do it IC. You can RP asking neighbors for help on it or some such if you like. Daisy isn't choosing the groups for you this time, pair up as you will. I have a meeting at work on Tuesday from about 2 pm, so I'll be afk for awhile, but Daisy will be in and out as much as possible.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Cue a random tumbleweed rolling passed, and Sakura's face turning a rather unhealthy strawberry-red.

"That wasn't COOL!" she shouted suddenly, laughing all the same. "You guys are so wierd!" Openly affectionate, she rolled onto her toes and slung her arms around either of their shoulders; only just barely tall enough to do so. She puffed up her cheeks and frowned at each of them, respectively. "Don't pull anymore stuff like that without warning me, you really had me going there." >_<;;

"But that's the beauty of improv, right?" They stood up straighter so that she was lifted from the ground and swung her.

((XD hehe))

Sakura contemplated this. They did have a point... Oh, whoop! she yelped a bit when they swung her, clinging to their shoulders as not to fall. She laughed a bit, grinning at them. "...man, you two fit right in this place," she commented, glancing back and forth between them.

That was a comment they'd never heard before, no matter which was it was taken. "How so?

Sakura shrugged a little. "Unpredictable."

They let her down from their shoulders carefully. "Well."
"It was a pleasure working with you today, Sakura-san." Kaoru nodded politely.
"We'll do so again, I'm sure." Hikaru gave her a pat on the head and snirked.

Sakura was quite happy to be on the ground again, though she hadn't much minded being carried around by a mischevious set of twins. She grinned back at them. "The pleasure was all mine," she said with a slightly exaggerated bow. "Then I suppose I'll see you two around?"

"We're on the third floor if you're ever around~ otherwise there's always class."

Sakura's eyebrows rose. "Third floor? Hey, I'll swing by next time I go to see Alphonse-kun," she said with a smile. "I'm on the second, feel free to drop by if you want."

They felt like leaving the extra add-on as well. "Oh, Al's our neighbor and "big brother" actually."

((whoo omg sleep))

Sakura smiled. "I think I remember him saying something about a couple twins," she said, nodding. "Well, I'll come by and pester you two sometime. Ciao~!"
