2 Black Swan Drive - Soon to be The Boards - Tuesday afternoon - 3/25

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

He's inside the theatre, doing nothing so grand as making up a sign for the front. It's just a board he's painting with the improvised title of his little box of a theatre. Next to it, another board sits there waiting for him to paint on the play he'd be doing as well as the fact that the theatre 1. existed and 2. would be casting this week.

That said, he's pondering a few things. One of which having to do with a certain young man who he'd thought had potential.

[open, if you're wondering who fixed up the building, but mostly for Troy]

Troy knocked on the front door, a little hesitant to just waltz right in.

"The check is in the mail!" he shouted as he kept on working.

... Well. That seemed as good an invitation as any. Troy opened the door and stepped inside. "Mr. Tennant?" he called. "Um. Geoffrey? It's Troy Bolton."

"Troy Bolton," he repeated without looking up, "Troy... hmm. I knew someone named Troy. At least, I think."

He looked up and eerily enough, he looked up right at Troy.

"I don't believe in Actor Standard Time, you know. It's bullshit."

Troy flushed. "I, uh..." he said. "... Would you believe me if I said that I spent some time in the past? And then my mun was basically gone for a week."

He raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem to be dismissing it outright.

"Did you have time to leave a note?"

"I got attacked by an angel statue," Troy explained. "So, uh, not really."

He looked a bit skeptical but eventually--

"I've got the first sign mostly done up for the front. I've also picked the play; I hope you're familiar with Titus Andronicus as that's the play we'll be doing. Do you think you can circulate the news that there'll be casting amongst the students at your school? I'll take care of things in town."

He pointed at a stack of other wooden boards.

Troy nodded. "I know the play," he said, "but I haven't read it yet. I'll start it tonight. Want me to make some posters?" he added. "Or do you have something for me to post up already?"

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

He shook his head with a laugh.

"I've been fighting with the plumbing, mostly," he admitted. "Make posters. Take out an ad if there's a paper. Hire a blimp. Whatever you'd like."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"How is the plumbing?" Troy asked, well aware that he'd been supposed to help with it, but knowing that he'd let himself get too distracted to remember that. And, well, then he'd gotten kidnapped by the angels. "Do you still something done with it?"

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.

"It's functional. And probably won't kill anyone."

He'd lived on cold showers before and for his art, he'd do it again. In a heartbeat.
