The Boards - Tuesday, 8/11 - REHEARSAL, FOR GODS SAKE

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Darren was starting to think that he was in hell. Certainly, he had to be in at least purgatory; he hadn't been able to find a decent wine shop or charming little cafe all week and now he was going to have to face his 'actors'. Pathetic. There were only two of them that he thought had any potential at all and yet, he was going to have to struggle through an entire rehearsal with the rest of these artless philistines.

God help him, he was never going to forgive Geoffrey for this. Mad or not.

"All right, people, all right, let's get started before we waste any time. I want to share my vision with you, right now, so that perhaps those of you who were lagging behind last week can attempt to understand my genius."

He then went on to describe, quite enthusiastically, a version of The Scottish Play done in the style of a rock opera, and it seemed very much as if he was going to place poor Himura in a costume that would have made Ziggy Stardust weep.

...oh, this was not going to be a good day, was it?

[ocd up!]

You here?

Geoffrey wouldn't blame you if you weren't.

Off Stage

THERE ARE NO MUFFINS. Feel free to be outraged at this travesty.

Re: Off Stage

[endsthegame]

Ender wasn't outraged, but he made a note of the lack of muffins and settled, keeping a sharp eye on Darren.

Re: Off Stage

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

...no muffins. There were no muffins.

Glinda twitched a little at the very thought. Rehearsal always meant muffins.

Re: Off Stage

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan was disappointed at the lack of muffins, but really she was hoping no one would get arrested this week.

Re: Off Stage

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Of course the bastard had held their muffins hostage.

This looked like it was going to be even worse than last week.

Re: Off Stage

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

No muffins.

No muffins?!?

Gabrielle was -- you know, "outraged" didn't begin to cover it.

"This is . . . catastrophic!"

Re: Off Stage

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"NO MUFFINS?!" Prince Edward kicked a chair.

Just because he could and because it made him feel better.

Ah-hah!


[[ And I must crash for an hour or five zomg. SP is in effect. ]]

Really, was he trying to start a riot? Did he want to be lynched? He might allow her latitude that Geoffrey didn't, but Darren clearly didn't have the actors best interests at heart.

No muffins?

Well, good thing Priestly brought sandwiches.

Re: Off Stage

Robin had gotten rid of the popsicle sticks, but there was still a light dusting of glitter on him.

"Does anyone want me to make a run to JGOB?"

Re: Off Stage

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper was outraged. Not by the lack of muffins, but more because the costumes were almost completely finished and they totally clashed with Darren's new vision.

Rehearsal - Act 4

...if you would like to work with Darren. Ahem.

Re: Rehearsal - Act 4

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Sophie was not getting up for her part. No. She was studying her script and studiously ignoring Darren, thank you.

Really, standards had to be maintained. Arrests and muffins, it was the outside of enough.

The Return!

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey hadn't made much of a fuss with his return to the island; when he found out just how badly it had gone last week, he'd be glad of that. But he was already pretty horrified as he watched the rehearsal, how Darren was treating them, the kind of things he was suggesting. It was... it was sickening, it was a violation of the text and his actors.

He might have to take a flight up to New Burbage just to find Moira and throttle her for telling him this was a good idea.

But what was done was done, and when it came down to it, he had but one thing he felt he could do. Which, of course, involved taking one of the rapiers from the prop area and sneaking up behind Darren.

"Turn, hell-hound, turn."

Darren stiffened.

[Geoffrey has returned! And he's not too pleased with Darren, so in true madman style, he's going to duel him/go after him with a sword. As I'm writing both parties, I'm going to put up a section, wait for a little bit if some of the actors want to respond/cheer/shout, and then put up the next section. And yes, it's totally based on this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axD-nU9QNzs).]

Re: The Return!

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"GEOFFREY!" Glinda squealed. She briefly contemplated running over and hugging him, but there was the matter of a pointy implement in Geoffrey's hand, and Geoffrey's somewhat strained grasp on sanity that made her decide to just sit down and watch.

Re: The Return!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Being captain of the cheerleading squad, Savannah felt it was only her duty to cheer for Geoffrey.

"Yay, Geoffrey!"

He had no idea he had probably kept her from getting arrested this week.

Re: The Return!

"Huzzah!"

Rehearsal - Act 5

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

If you want to deal with Geoffrey.

Stage Manager

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

...Geoffrey brought you a little goofy teddy bear thing from the hospital gift shop, Zack. We hope that's enough of an apology.

Re: Stage Manager

[puppy_fair]

Teddy bear thing!

Yes, Zack was clinging to it like a lifeline, thankful that he didn't have to spend future rehearsals trying to smuggle in muffins.

If any one good thing had come from the psycho man invading, it was that, at the very least, Zack now knew that his job had something-or-other to do with sets and costuming.

Geoffrey

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Who is considerably saner, no matter what he looks like, and VERY VERY sorry.

Re: Geoffrey

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

After the duel, and its inevitable conclusion....

There was no reason to be as bitchy as an abandoned lover. Anything that happened in that other world happened to That Geoffrey and That Sophie. Not to them. And Geoffrey didn't even know about it. Any thwarting of conversation that had occurred was entirely in her own head. Sophie knew that.

But she could be as bitchy as an abandoned actress.

"Had fun on your little vacation, did you? Which you took without warning as you took leave of your senses."

OOC

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

I hope you all enjoyed Darren's visit. He just needs some stabbing now ^_^

*wonders if S&A fans will get the joke of this whole thing*

Re: OOC

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah is very happy to see Geoffrey is back.
