The Boards, Friday Evening, The Consequence of Being Frank

[furnaceface]

Well, this was it. Opening night, and Jono had done about all of the running around that he could manage. His props girl had apparently vanished into the ether, his set was mostly painted in a shade of red-with-glitter that meant that he needed to be extremely careful how he lit the bloody thing, he'd drastically shorted himself on rehearsal time, though it seemed as though his cast had stepped up to the occasion and made up for that oversight, and--

Jono looked like he was going to pass out as he made one last check on the state of the stage before opening the house.

-- And there were occasionally waffles raining down from... apparently the catwalks above the stage.

Lovely.

"The show is going to bloody well go on if it kills me," he growled, and then doubled back to grab a broom before going to open the doors.

[Open for all!]

"He'll prefer the costumes, if we put it in those terms to him, after the show," Karina suggested.

If Jono wasn't utterly wasted on spiked coffee by that point.

She grabbed the chicken suit before she talked herself out of it. "For the record, this was not our fault."

"Extra not our fault!" Karla said, vehement. "In fact, he should be thanking us for not just taking off and showering the first few layers of skin off."

"I wish we could," Karina said mournfully. "I really wish we could."

That would be upgraded to extra-super-million-wished-she-could after the play. Seriously.

"Okay," she said. "I'm going to go change. We can totally do this."

Though the gremlin lurking in Karina's costume had other ideas.

"Okay," Karla said, nodding, being smart enough to check her own costume for gremlins. "Break a leg, Karina."

...That was probably the wrong thing to say for this play, it really was.

It really, really was.

"You too," Karina said, which pretty much sealed their fate and tied it in a bow.
