The Boards - Richard III, CLOSING NIGHT - Thursday evening

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Now was the winter of their discontent... The last night of Richard III was starting very soon. Still no sign of their errant Director, but Tony seemed to have everything well in hand. Sophie had counted up receipts from Tuesday, and they were doing quite well. The students had certainly given it their all on Tuesday night.

And Geoffrey may have cast them, encouraged them, and directed them, but everyone in the theater tonight had their own reasons for wanting this last evening of the play to go well.

"Thirty minutes, everyone. Our Stage Manager says places in thirty."

[OCD on its way up!]

To be fair, so far Karla's experience with the whole double-dating thing was limited to teevee shows and conversations with other girls.

"Things are going very well," she said, trying not to blush. "He came tonight and surprised me with my very favoritest flowers. I don't even know how he knew what they were--though I'm betting Emma's involved, somehow."

Wasn't she always?

"If you think Emma's involved, she probably was," Sookie noted wisely, kicking herself for not thinking to bring flowers to the cast. She'd forgotten that was a thing. "And that's so cute! You totally deserved flowers, and that's adorable of him to think to get you some -- Emma's prompting or no."

Karla gave Sookie a happy smile. "Either way, I'm really happy about it," she said, trying not to bounce around. "If you'd like, you can tell me your favorite flowers, and I'll pass that information on to Bobby sometime--subtly, of course."

Well, as subtle as Karla got, anyway.

"It's the Sisterly thing to do."

Sookie arched a brow. "I'm not sure that's totally necessary," she said, turning red again and grinning. "For one thing, I'm not sure subtlety works on him. He's one of those where I think you need to hit him with a cluebat a few times. But, um, I don't expect him to get me flowers unless he wants to! And I won't be sad if he never does, or anything."

She paused, and added, "Daffodils. They grow all over the place at home."

"I wouldn't suggest him actually getting you flowers or anything," Karla assured her. "Just, you know, if he's not sure what kind to get or something, I can nudge him in the right direction."

With said cluebat, if necessary.

"And if you want me to nudge George about anything," Sookie replied, grinning, "I can return the favor. Flowers are clearly taken care of, though."

"No nudging required," Karla said, hoping that the lights outside of the theater were making her look slightly less red than she felt. "Everything's going really well. Really, really well," she amended, grinning like an idiot.

"How long's it been for you two?" Sookie asked, trying to think back over what she'd heard on the radio.

"Ummm...it's kind of hard to tell?" Karla said, shrugging a bit. "We were Homecoming Prince and Princess for the freshmen and really hit it off. And then he visited my booth at the carnival...but I don't think we made it official until around spring break?"

She chuckled a bit. "So, umm, awhile I guess. A lot longer than I'd thought, really."
