The Boards, Wednesday

To say that Genesis was in a good mood today was like saying that rain was wet. He had his cast, he had a small but functional crew (though he could still add to that), and only one person had threatened him with death yesterday.

Which had been funny anyway.

All of that meant Genesis was all but chipper as he made certain that the chairs, arranged in a semi-circle were just so and that the food was laid out—mostly moddable foods that were simple to eat and would not leave a great mess—and drinks—juices, water, coffee and tea—were their proper temperatures.

Then it was a waiting game until his minions actors and actresses had all shown up. And then, then it was time to begin.

"I’m glad to see you all could make it." Because otherwise he’d have had to go looking for his actors and would not have been best pleased. Instead, he sounded coolly pleased with the situation. "Today we’ll be doing introductions: I’m Genesis Rhapsodos, the director, and so long as you’re in here, you answer to me." That covered things nicely, didn’t it? And was fairly reasonable, so far as he was concerned. "Excellent. As well as a read-through of the script. You are, at this time, permitted to ask any question so long as it concerns the play at hand."

And no, he would not change your role. And yes, this was him in a good mood.

[Wait for the OCD is up omigod.]

Re: Crew

"That is something that will need to be decided," Genesis admitted, looking unbothered by this. "The play itself might suit simple scenes on one hand, but on the other it might be more amusing to have elaborate scenes to highlight the shallowness of the characters."

And because Alexander was going to be doing a fair bit of lugging things around either way, Genesis actually did want his opinion.

He wasn't the nicest of men, no. But he wasn't usually deliberately cruel to those under his control.

Alexander nodded, with a serious, contemplating demeanor. It was the sort of attitude as someone who was rather used to listening to directions and dedicating himself to completing the task.

"Whichever you feel fits best," he said.

Sigh. Sigh sigh sigh. Ramuh save him from teenagers.

"You do get somewhat of a say," he noted, very dryly.

"Do I?" asked Alexander, his brows furrowing in a frown. "But I know nothing of stage production and sets!"

Re: Crew

"You'll be helping to move them," Genesis pointed out logically. Mostly without snark. Mostly. "I would rather not have you be unable to do so."

Re: Crew

"So just nothing too heavy then," Alexander offered with a small smile. "And, if it is heavy, to at least provide a cart."

Re: Crew

"I will--keep that in mind."

And do his best not to laugh in his face.

Because that was so helpful.
