♕ |[78]| The lone and level sands stretch far away

[had_not_lived]

There was sand spilling onto the living room carpet this morning-- I thought, at first, that the bottle of sand on my bookcase must have broken but it wasn't. I guess, since other people are having the same problem it must be a curse. I'm glad-- not that people have sand everywhere, I mean, just that it isn't anything but a curse.

So, as I mentioned over the weekend-- though, unfortunately, I think most of the volunteers we had then haven't stayed-- we're finally ready to begin casting for the next play! It's called Like Clockwork-- Though I am supposed to tell you that's a working title, it might change if we can think of something better.

If you're interested in being involved-- as cast or backstage crew-- please let me know! We'll hold the first set of auditions this week, and once all the roles are filled, we'll start scheduling rehearsals. It doesn't matter if you've had experience before, or if this will be your first play-- everyone's welcome to join us!

Just let me know! And if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

[ooc; as always I want to get as many people as possible involved, so please feel free to throw everyone at this! Like Clockwork is a play written by our very own Todd-mun, which means the cast size is very flexible~ we do have at least three female characters and two male characters in need of casting, buuuut should be able to accommodate any number of people beyond that! ^_^

Will eventually make OOC posts for organization! a-also please pretend this was earlier scream]

[boutant]

I could probably help with sets, if you need it.

[had_not_lived]

That would be great!

It's set in the City, so we'll want sets that convey that in a... smaller way, I guess. I'm not sure yet where we'll be performing, though.

[boutant]

[ She grins. ]

I can definitely do that.

[had_not_lived]

That's great! If you'd like to come by while auditions are going on, I'll get you a copy of the script.

[he_who_kills]

Me want be what called actor!

[had_not_lived]

Well, why not! You were one of the fairies in Midsummer, right? Would another part like that work?

[Which is to say, something light on lines...]

[he_who_kills]

Yes! Me do!


(OOC - He's way too short for leading man)

[had_not_lived]

Well, I'll find something for you and show you a script.

[primrosella]

...Should I ask why you have a bottle of sand on your bookcase at all, Neil? It seems rather an odd thing to use for a bookend.

And of course I'll be trying out for the play! Goodness, isn't this exciting? I'm so proud of Todd!


[OOC: And I am dying at those descriptions, OMG. I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH ONE IS BASED ON ROSELLA. NONE WHATSOEVER.]

completely ooc interjection here

[mumbled_truth]

It is meant as the highest honor, really.

completely ooc response here

[primrosella]

You are the most beautiful person and should feel good about yourself.

[had_not_lived]

It was a gift-- it isn't just sand, it's sand from Atlantis. I'm glad it didn't spill.

It wouldn't feel right if you didn't join us, Rosella. I think it's going to be incredible.


[ooc; screeeam you have rae to thank! tho personally i think she should play tricia 8D]

[primrosella]

From Atlantis? My goodness, where did you ever get something like that? No wonder you want to take good care of it!

Oh, I think so, too! We always have such fun when we do.


[OOC: I was actually considering suggesting the very same thing. If only because the irony would be hilarious.]

[had_not_lived]

Oh, on one of the weekends like this last one, Death brought it for me... Sometimes he brings little things, especially when he's been traveling-- Life gave me a cactus once, too.

I think we'll have at least a few new people, too, which is great! Hopefully they'll stay on and we'll have an even bigger Company to stage future plays, too.


[ooc; and Neil is supposed to play Van because Todd doesn't want Neil to play the character with a love interest >3 ]

[lookjustlike]

I could help out backstage, doing whatever.

[had_not_lived]

No interest in acting?

[lookjustlike]

I could stand on stage and hold a spear if you want. Metaphorically. Or I assume it would be metaphorical depending on exactly what the play's about.

[had_not_lived]

I don't remember there being any spear-bearers, no... Though there are some ensemble scenes during curses, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.

action;

[mumbled_truth]

[He has nothing to say on the Network, because he doesn't want to draw any more attention. So he finds you, Neil, and he flops down next to you, laughing a bit.]

So... how did I get talked into this again?

action;

[had_not_lived]

I'm not sure. Something to do with you being a writer, and me wanting to put on more plays...

[Why only next to? Neil shifts a little closer, grinning, stretches out an arm just, you know, in case Todd wants to flop on him.]

action;

[mumbled_truth]

[That looks like an invitation to him. He shifts to flop against Neil, nestling himself into the other boy's arm.]

Me being a writer. Right.

[His tone is less than convinced, though the self-effacement is more well-humored than it used to be.]

action;

[had_not_lived]

That's how I remember it.

[His tone is perfectly innocent, of course. There was no poking or prodding or persuasion involved, not as he remembers it.]

Are you excited about it?

text;

[othersdie]

I'm surprised Todd is letting his script out in public.


[ooc: THAT DESCRIPTION. ♥ Absolutely not based on any persons dead or living, of course.]

text;

[had_not_lived]

It took some persuasion. And a lot of revisions.


[ooc; heee i can take no credit for the awesomeness!]

text;

[othersdie]

And how many years?
