Welcome to Gaia! ::

Backstage / Actor

Sammy spread her arms wide hip popped to the side the perfect image of cocky confidence. "Sorry Thackery. We wanted to make it a big surprise. And ahhh it worked I think." She poked her stomach, "Don't worry though, hardly felt a thing, well a little bit but like I said, pumpkin pills do wonders."

((Proxy Posting for Ice! Excuse me if I mess up OTL))



MUSIC/THE PIT
Danny hummed softly along with the songs that she had practice so hard. As the Sugar Pumpkin song came on she couldn't help but sneak a look at Rikki. He was working so hard! Their practice time (however slim they'd had) was really paying off. Danny did have to kick a gnome through it.

She couldn't help but grimace through the Crushin' Dance. She had messed it up so badly. No one could notice that, right? Uhhh ... just focus on Roch's beautiful playing!

Danny purposely scowled through the Waltz of the Snowflakes. Reasoning should be obvious.

AUDIENCE


On his way back to his seat, Sparrow had snagged Jove, dragging the pup gently but firmly with him. It was clear that Wren would not be joining him - a depressing thought - and he could certainly use the company, especially from someone whom he had not seen in quite some time. It felt like ages since he had last spoken to the younger boil.

"How are you, Jove?" Sparrow whispered as they took their seats again, Sparrow slipping into the one closest by the aisle.

The play, however, soon took his attention quite a bit.

First there was the yelling (Sparrow had no idea who started it). And then some more yelling (even more clueless about this), some strange stomachaches (he could not figure out why he had a sudden bout of nausea overtake him, though it seemed to pass rather quickly...), a song from Hel that made all of them sort of lapse into this sad sort of trance, and then, once the professor had demanded their quiet, the first act had managed to go on, sliding into the second easily.

Just as easy as the spear that Hel had thrust into Sammy.

Sparrow stared blankly at it for several seconds, blinking in his seat, then sighed, leaning down to whisper to Jove beside him.

"I think this play is a bit...er...extra exciting, don't you think?"

Audience

Why was Shun not panicking? Wasn't there cause to panic? Hel had just run someone through and...and .....Mitsu looked around. She seemed to be the only one phased other than those onstage. W..was it just really good acting? It seemed so real.

A little shakily she sat back in her seat finally looking over to see the damage she had done to the armrest. Releasing it the poor bits of plastic and metal fell to the floor completely destroyed.....whoops. Maybe no one would notice.

"Thankyou-" Astra began, but stopped when she realized that he had just made it almost impossible to see what was happening. He totally did that on purpose, she was sure of it! Frowning, she pondered her situation, and how she was gonna deal with this boil.

It didn't take long for her to come up with a plan. Looking at the back of her seat, the fairy ghoul sized it up and, with a nod to herself, she hopped onto the edge of it, effectively sitting on the top of the seat. It was a little uncomfortable to sit on, but she could manage. At least she had good balance, so falling off wouldn't be a issue. She smiled, positioned herself, and continued to watch the show.

Actor - Backstage

Ulmuka had flown into the lighting and perched after his role had concluded. He'd watched the fight scenes with rapt interest and was glad to see the audience was behaving. Somewhere in his head he convinced himself he needed to socialize. Make new friends! Congratulate those who had done well!

The strix dropped down with a flap of wings and was once again in his humanoid form. He grinned and gave everyone thumbs up. The play was going great now that the unsavory elements had left the show!

Actor - Snowflakes

So there were a few hitches here and there. The frost demon just had to follow Roch's cues and play her parts nicely. Edel looked on gingerly at the crowd and the stage when the trouble started, but a good No U from Mr Rengath was all it took to set things back right again. That's a relief, she thought. 

Act two flew by and Act three came. The frost demon had to relinquish the rest of the violin parts to the gnome, exit he pits and get changed. The ghoul was in the midst of quickly applying the make up when two - one very seriously drunk - gnomes barged into the dressing room. Now what? 

"Ghouly there isn't enough to go around." 

"Yea, that snot head just downed the other bucket you were done with. Thought it was shaved ice or sommat so he used it to chill the cider and I don't know what else he does with it." 

"Ghouly it's almost your cue, whadda we do?"

The frost demon was dressed in a rather feathery looking white dress, staring down at the two gnomes as they updated her on the snowflake crisis. The ghoul gave the two an exasperated look which pretty much read: didn't I tell you two to get ready for this while I was busy with the music? Well, there was no time for that now. 

Summoning her FEAR to her fingertips, the frost demon quickly formed a large block of ice. Edel then picked up a chainsaw - you know, the type used for ice sculpting - and switched it on, allowing it to roar threateningly. Without so much as a bat of the eyelid, the ghoul swung it down on them the block of ice, halving it and creating a fair amount of ice shrapnels in the process. Switching the chainsaw off and allowing it to power down, the ghoul unceremoniously chucked the very dangerous equipment at them. 

"You know what to do. The giant fans are over there so no more excuses for not getting things done. I'll be doing my part when I get on stage to dance..." The ghoul paused to stare at the two gnomes who were starting to giggle amongst themselves. It couldn't be good, whatever it was about. Was it because the dress she was wearing was so short? Edel glared at the two of them piercingly, yet couldn't quite keep the serious look on her face while trying hard not to blush. 

"Keep your eyes to yourselves or the backstage security will get at you," she threatened, cocking her head to the direction of G and the rest of the ghoul protection squad. 

Her cue finally came and the frost demon moved to get into position, keeping her gaze on those two. "Get moving," she mouthed, and then she turned her head around and plastered on a winning smile. 

Onto the stage she pranced, twirling and jumping and making sure she was not sloppy with those extensions. Snowflakes danced around her and before she began to panic, ice flakes were blown onto the stage after a loud cranking noise indicating the start up of a generator. It was a tiring process, to dance AND produce snow but hey, this was it wasn't it? This show had to go on, and be the best it could be. For the school and everybody.

By the time her dance ended, the stage was covered in snow. Half-melted snow. It was a great lubricant. Whoever was coming on next had better watch out. 

Actor - Backstage

The crowd would hear a lot of laughing and applause coming from backstage for Charlie's performance. And then a crashing noise when Charlie slid offstage and straight into the laughing, clapping strix.
