Week One

[Yesterday, everyone woke up in a strange place and realized that they'd been kidnapped, and also that everyone else around them may or may not be kinnies? Wow, what a weird escalation of kin drama! Given what some people have seen of Spongebob's freaky arm thing, though, maybe it's not that at all?

Your Assistant Director, Hester, showed off her stuff and immediately had her life threatened by Lumpy Space Princess, who got her life threatened right back. Maybe you should keep that in mind if you decide to pay Hester any more visits! She won't be making another public appearance this week, but as promised, she'll be available for visits and consultation in the Principal's Office during business hours.

If you don't want to chat with Hester, there's always the school to explore! Some of you might also be receiving mysterious coins next to your bedside this week - those must be useful for something, right? There's lots to do, and you all seem like a group who can make your own fun, so enjoy your first week of school!]



Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday


(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with Hester. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

Hello Mods! Just a close inspection of the Cafeteria Stage

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[It’s Thursday! This morning, where the announcement for the meeting was previously, there’s a new piece of paper:]

Scene from "Les Danaïdes" by Maestro Antonio Salieri
Scheduled Performance: Monday, 7 in the evening, Cafeteria stage

Performers:

Danaus: To Be Determined
Hypermnestra: Maya Tendo
Chorus of Conscious: Elsa, Cassandra, Spongebob Squarepants
Narration and Duet: Madame Elisabeth (zither) and The Balladeer (guitar, voice)
Fortepiano: Spongebob Squarepants

Crew:

Director and Conductor: Maestro Antonio Salieri
Assistant Director and Professional Audience: Farrah
Costumes: Elle Woods, Angus McFife XIII, Benjamin Barker
Sets and Lighting: Janis Sarkisian, Varian, Angus McFife XIII (Heavy Lifting)


Any questions may be directed to Maestro Antonio Salieri. Rehearsals begin this afternoon at 2 in the choir room.

[rehearsals and any working on costumes/set/lighting/etc, are going to be mostly handwaved unless someone wants to have a toplvl to work on it, etc. (Apologies to LSP...) As for Thursday specifically, if there's an IC question for Salieri, he'll be around, meeting with people, probably mostly in The Choir Room.

However, by the end of the day, the "To Be Determined" in front of Danaus will be crossed out, and replaced with Benjamin Barker.

Aside from that, in the morning after he gets that notice pinned up, he's going to be checking out the stage in the Cafeteria--studying it, seeing what mechanisms are available there. Is there a curtain, what are the pulleys like, is there a backstage...those kinds of things. Either way, he's taking a close look at the stage and the area around it.]

[Farrah's taking her job as assistant director very seriously. Which is to say she shows up with her hair tied into a perfect ponytail with a giant orange ribbon from the costume shop, and is carrying a clipboard. And when she enters the room, she speaks in a super-exaggerated high voice.]

All Right Everyone! We're gonna have a GREAT PLAY THIS YEAR!

[Well that just about startles the heck out of Salieri, considering how he was not really expecting anyone to show up this early, and was just starting to take a look at the stage. At Farrah's announcement, though, he spins around...before relaxing when he realizes it's her. He folds his arms over his chest, leaning a bit back on the stage, arching an eyebrow]

My. Had I known you'd be this enthusiastic, I would've thought to assign you the role earlier.
brokeforgood: (farrah2)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-03 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Of! Course! We're going straight to--- [Farrah slips out of character for a minute, scowling at the clipboard. What do you call regionals for a play? Aw, forget it] PLAAAAAAAY REGIONALS this year!
violentenvies: giljimbo @ deviantart (14 The photographs your boyfriend took)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. Hopefully, Play Regionals, whatever that is, will help us have a successful performance. [this is going so over his head, but he's just rolling with it]
brokeforgood: (farrah25)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-04 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
And then! Straight onto CHEER-- I mean-- PLAAAAAY! NATIONALS! Even though our team totally sucks and some of us are addicted to drugs, it's going to be the! Best! Play! Ever! Through my use of a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and the ability to BOSS EVERYONE AROUND! [Maybe you should recast her as an actress, with this level of LARPing.]
violentenvies: <lj user=farferello> (59)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-04 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[what is she even doing. One of Salieri's hands goes to his chin, half covering his mouth to hide the smile, but his amusement is still evident at the corners of his eyes]

I cannot help but wonder if this is a parody of some kind, considering I don't believe any of us are addicted to any sort of drug. Although the ability to boss people around can certainly be a boon when trying to direct any kind of show.
brokeforgood: (farrah41)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-04 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You caught me. I'm not really the responsible type-- so I thought-- who do I know that is? [She hums, slipping out of character and casting a thoughtful glance up, exaggerated in her methods still-- but much more like the professional audience member she was yesterday.]

So I decided to act like my cheer captain. She cares so much it's painful. Tomorrow, I'll bring charts!
violentenvies: <lj user=farferello> (50)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-04 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Charts? [Salieri's eyebrows raise at that, still looking rather entertained.]

As much as that does pique my curiosity... [some of that amusement fades as he studies her, watching her with a bit of calm curiosity]

It is your name that I put on that list, not your captain's. If you wish to emulate her, then by all means, but I don't require such a thing nor expect it of you.
brokeforgood: (farrah21)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-04 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Farrah doesn't know what to do with that. She stares at him a moment, then reaches up, and tugs the ribbon loose from her hair.]

You shouldn't really expect anything of me. [She says it bitterly, but bounces back with a sense of humor about her.] It's exhausting to pretend to be Riley for more than 3 minutes at a time, anyway.
violentenvies: (16)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-04 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[he is going to note that bitterness, though his expression doesn't change]

I can imagine. She seems very excitable. [there's that mild hint of amusement back]

However...Mademoiselle Farrah, what you should understand is this: [Salieri folds his arms over his chest, still watching her] I didn't choose you as an assistant director out of any specific expectation. It was mostly out of curiosity of your potential. Most assistant directors, or even directors themselves, started as Professional Audience Members. So, if you have an interest, I'd be happy to walk you through what the position normally entails, and you can decide how much of it you wish to do or not do.
brokeforgood: (farrah56)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-06-05 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not too sure about potential, either. But I guess it's something to do, before I become the audience. [She shrugs, gently trying to lower his expectations before they've started. She has a bad history of disappointing people. At least she can say she warned him]

Sure. What should I do?

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[And the next moment, someone's just sitting on the stage, next to where Salieri's looking. Just watching him.]

Looking for secret passages? Or just preparing for your little play?
violentenvies: purrahms @ tumblr (02 I made my mistakes)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Predictably, Salieri startles almost out of his skin, head whipping around to stare at Discord in surprise...before, of course, he realizes who is sitting there, and his expression morphs into annoyance.

His lips press together, and he just

turns away and keeps doing what he was doing i.e. stepping up onto the stage so he can get a better look at it]

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I couldn't help but notice my name wasn't on your little list! A terrible oversight, I'm sure.
violentenvies: qu-r @ tumblr (09 That's all you had to say)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It was not. [calmly, pushing aside the curtain]
disharmonizes: (063)

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And after my generous offer of help, too!

Ah, well. I'll just have to improvise.
violentenvies: (31)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is

so difficult to resist the urge to scream right now. Why can he not escape this man?

Salieri takes a deep breath in through his nose, and breathes out.

And goes back to looking at the stage. ]

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, what's a show without a good amount of drama, right?

Oh, all the ways I could spice things up...
violentenvies: qu-r @ tumblr (05 As I'm fading away)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[nope, still just inspecting the stage. He currently has his head tilted back, looking up, seeing what kind of lighting they could put up there]
disharmonizes: (007)

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, speaking of lighting!]

I wonder if I could put together a chandelier to drop...
violentenvies: vicious-mongrel @ tumblr (10 I never meant to let you down)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-03 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still!! Ignoring you!! Sir!!!

So much ignoring. Why, he even has his back to Discord at this point]
disharmonizes: (049)

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-06-03 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Or a pyrotechnics display, oh, that would really fire things up.

[Hmm...so definitely not a large-scale performance kind of thing, but honestly...that's alright. It's a ten-to-fifteen minute scene to be put on in a short amount of time, so actually this will suit rather well. Excellent.

He does peak behind the curtain, however.]
