Pits / musicWith everything pretty much settled and the play in progress, the frost demon travelled from the backstage to the pits where the rest of the band was. Edel found some time to take it easy and relax, striking up those few violin notes on cue. So far, the play had gone rather smoothly despite the narrator hyperventilating backstage and another few actors bemoaning their impending performances. Riyo's performance had been the most interesting thus far, that was, until Muka went on stage. The strix was a natural. Grinning to herself as she turned around to look at the rest of the music crew, the ghoul spotted the familiar Rikki and waved casually at him. Because waving and saying hi was just, you know, nice manners.

BACKSTAGE / ACTORS Muka's performance was a lot of fun. Charlie clapped loudly and unprofessionally from the side of the stage just behind the curtain. What could Charlie say though? Muka was a good actor.

AudienceHe scrunched his nose a bit when she flicked it, "Damn right you would," he replied.
Suddenly there was a Ben nearby! He looked over at the Kangaroo as it came into being and grinned at him. That was good ol' Ben. Kettil laughed when Ben asked if it was indeed him, "Naw! I'm just a figment of your imagination," he teased the familiar as he shifted around in his seat to pet at the Kangaroo's muzzle and ruffle a bit at the mohawk the creature's fur sprouted into at the top of his head.
"It is so good to be with you guys again," Kettil said sincerely.
Endzela was bounced and jostled but she didn't mind, "Benny~," she keened out at the Kangaroo happily.
Kettil grinned a bit more as he turned his head toward the stage. They should honestly settle down and focus on the play but...but..Lark and and Ben and...
...Suddenly the boil had no interest in sitting and watching anything. Still he forced himself to turn forward a bit while petting at Ben's neck a little.

Petro did his best to quietly find an empty seat, "'Scuse, 'm sorry, ah! Didn't mean to step on y'r foot," he apologized as he made his way behind one of the rows in the audience.

Audience"Ach, Endy-mine! How've y'been, m'beautiful treat?" he greeted the owl in a hushed whisper. Ben flirted shamelessly with Endzela as he'd always done and likely always would do. It was a harmless sort of flirting and yet Ben's voice was filled with a fondness for the owl familiar. "Y'got no idea how good," Lark whispered close to Kettil's shoulder as she leaned against him comfortably, peering over in the direction of the loud throat clearing. She'd been blinded by some big oafish boil in the front of the theater a few times, so she was glad that someone was making obvious indications that it was rude. Despite feeling intensely excited that Kettil was here, there was still apprehension roiling in her gut. She would deal with that later. For now, though, she would just cherish the fact that he was here.

The Pits/Music
He had no jackin' TIME to worry about sticking Edel and Danny together, or even just making them play together. Roch had a frown of concentration on his face as his fingers raced over the guitar strings, pulling out the complex music. This was, ironically, the best way to keep the troublemaking punk busy during an important show.
Had he been out in the audience he would--
No, he probably would have fallen asleep and started snoring by now. But the music change was coming up, and he was trying to keep from thinking about it while he worked on the overture.
March was a hell of a lot more fun than this one was, though. And harder.

(( AUDIENCE )) His trembling was distracting her with worry; what was wrong? Was he cold? Sick? Or...? Her eye lifted to try to look at him without moving her head, trying to piece together what made him shake so. It might have been his proximity or it might have been the way he returned the gesture, but regardless of the reason she had been distracted enough to come up with very little answers once more, except for some vague inkling that it had to do with his Master. The last time she'd seen Christof so down? That was because of him. Plus...the whole maybe closing school thing.
All she wanted to do was comfort him, but she wasn't sure how. Maybe she should...let him try to put her limbs on properly? He seemed keen on the idea of chopping her up before! Sure the thought made her shudder unhappily, but...if it made him happy, she could deal...right?
For now all she could do was unwind an arm from around her legs, shifting just enough to lay her arm against the inside of his and to pat his wrist with the back of her hand in what she hoped was a reassuring move. She wanted to give headpats, but alas could not without ruining what contact they had.
Muka's performance though, teased a smile out of the ghoul; Wow, he was perfect for that part!
----------------------------------------- Needle had found a focus point in the crowd; Roch's tattoo, in the distance. She couldn't see most of it but she recognized it right away; she always recognized her sister's work as easily as she recognized her own. After a while she had decided to close her eyes, to listen to what was being played and said and create her own little actors in her head since she had no idea what the students looked like.
That was when something, or rather someone, stepped on her foot.
"It is alright, I know you are too kind to do such a thing on purpose." She said in quiet amusement, smiling at the sound of the voice. Her eyes opened behind her mask and her head tilted up, gazing at the familiar set of facial tattoos...it was good to see them again, but she didn't know how much longer she would be able to.
"You have not missed much, my friend." She informed him, keeping her voice low for the surrounding scarelings.

"Ah, I... I guess I just assumed..." After that last time, "I'm sorry, Shun..." She sighed softly and hung her head, feeling rather embarrassed. Mitsu's appearance was thus, a lifesaver as she returned the hug with a smile, even sitting up a little.
"Ah, yeah... It is," She replied, trying her best to avoid looking in that direction; after all, she couldn't stand to be reminded that Mac and Amphi were together when she would be the one to be seated beside the reaper if they hadn't gone through a break-up. Besides, looking at Mac's bruised face made her heart hurt; the thought of not knowing why he looked like that, or the fact that she wouldn't be able to openly care for him...
She sighed, forcing herself to turn back towards the stage; Mot and Xiu did great, and so did everyone else... She just wasn't able to fully concentrate on the play right now, with so many thoughts swimming about in her mind.
So she did the thing her brain/heart/idek told her to do. She sent out a short text to Mac.Enoh Love You don't have to reply me, but take care of yourself, okay? I assume you're feeling fine despite how you look since you made your way to the play, but take it easy, alright? Don't make people worry about you... And take good care of Amphi.

It was dark! And Tro had been trying to duck so that his height wouldn't be a bother to the other students! And and and, "Needle!" he exclaimed. Oh no, he'd accidentally stepped on his friend and he was not happy with it. Thankfully, despite his size, the horse monster knew better than to tread heavily in crowded areas. He may have already apologized but he said it again as discovering her identity made him doubly apologetic. "'M still real sorry about that," his voice dipped in volume as he lowered himself onto the empty beside her. "'S good I ain't missed much," he whispered. "Did it just start?" he asked.----------------------------------------- Legs couldn't see s**t from where she was seated. She really should have done a better job in convincing Tess to join her. The pair of limbs decided to just get up and linger in the aisles. It's not like she'd get in anyone's way.

Audience/MusicWith drums being in just about every part of the song, Rikki was busy, but he was getting into a groove enough that he could look up and peer around the pit, checking out how things were going for the others. And then Edel waved, and his stomach dropped low in his gut. He glanced at Danny to see if she noticed, but not wanting to be mean to the frost demoness, he managed to lift a hand in a return wave and still keep the beat. Talent. ...He was going to get his a** handed to him. He tried to concentrate on the song after that rather than what was going on with Danny and Edel, and turned his face back to his drums. Hiding from the problem? Abso-jacking-lutely. Luckily, March was supposed to be a much heavier song, which meant it would be harder for him to get into a groove and he'd hopefully be well a truly occupied. He was kind of excited about the song too. Because it was more challenging and complicated, he'd worked on this one and some of the other really complex ones the most. He was fairly certain he had them down, but that didn't change the adrenaline of having to execute them properly.

AudienceIf she was a Stormtrooper, she totally would have been fooled by Yin's mind tricks. Gene gave the boil a small smile, before offering her hand. "Oh no, I'm fine here. Not looking for anyone really. She looked out at the audience, then to the stage, smiling at all the going on's. They were amusing, no doubt about that. No reason for jealousy, right?
Oh! Her attention turned back to the mantis boil, giving him a small * o * face."Hold on... are you expecting someone? I'll totally move if you need me to, really!" Gene didn't want to offend anyone, certainly not being so new and all.

ACTOR - CLOODIA
Oh no, oh no oh no oh no, Chuppi was now out on stage, out doing things, and her heart practically jumped down into her throat as she made her way out there before and then she was hugged by Xiu and... things got better. she nearly jumped out of her skin though at Riyo's words, but she managed to calm herself.
Then came the Owl, played by Ulmuka, and Chuppi...finally decided it was time to get into character. She supposed she could LOOK in character by looking downright terrified the entire time, but now? Now she was in character and it was okay and she had the cracker of nuts.
"Oh..." Her voice was soft at first, and then she cleared her throat. "Oh Uncle, t'is wondrous! I thank you for this, I shall not forget it!" Chuppi held the doll close, holding it so dear, and a soft smile spread across her face. "Look all, look here! I have my Cracker of Nuts, and he shall be my loyal prince! Together we shall rule a kingdom far grander than what I have known, what I could imagine!"
She seemed to be doing okay on her lines, but really that was only because she practically ate, drank, and slept them all day and all night preparing for this. English was not her first language, but dear Jack! She was going to speak it like it was!
"Dear Father, dear mother! Look at what Uncle has given me! Brother Fruntz, do you see? This is my noble prince, my captain! He won't be defeated by the likes of you, I can assure you that!"
She spoke bravely, but Chuppi knew what was coming next and she did her best to act like she didn't. Still her eyes were watery, a bit nervous, but mostly she was afraid for her beloved.

(( AUDIENCE )) Mac offered a small smile to Amphi and a little nod. "You're welcome, sorry for the late notice." He murmured, scanning the crowd; wait what? What was with all the people turning to see him? Bruised eyes scanned the crowd a little further, spotting Lizzy not too far from him; he flinched painfully and sunk lower into his seat, gripping the fabric of his turtleneck and hoping she didn't see him. His phone vibrated, and after a quick glance at the sender he gave a little groan.
Damnit, she saw him.
Should he reply to her...? He took a sidelong glance at Amphi, again feeling that guilt hit his gut more painfully than the Draugr's foot had. His thumb hit 'reply', but he just stared at the textbox for a while, completely ignoring the play. What should he say? 'Thanks, Lizzy?' or maybe 'Whatever', since he had a farce to keep up? Wait, why did she even text him to begin with? Wasn't she supposed to hate him? What if Herryk told her that he had lied? Nnnngh.
One comment kept his attention. 'Don't make people worry about you'. Uuuugh she was still worrying about him! That was just wrong! Bad, Lizzy! This wasn't supposed to happen! He couldn't not answer her though, so he sent a text that would answer most of her demands, and tucked his phone away quickly.----------------------------------------- "Petro." She replied with a slight giggle as he called her name, but she might have been teasing him about it too. "No need to apologize again, I have inflicted more injury on you than you have on me, it is fine." The Engraver sounded sweet, if not a little apologetic as well. "Recently, yes. This is what you missed..." Making more of a point to keep her spikey arms to herself, she leaned close to the Tikbalang and whispered what had transpired thus far; at least the parts she heard.

AudienceShun nodded to Mitsu before looking around briefly before following her to the nearest seats. Sitting down, his attention turned towards the stage as things began to start. He raised an eyebrow at the 'gifts' the Owl just gave to the other two characters. Those seemed... a little lame. But whatever. "By the way," he murmured towards Mitsu, "About Mac. It wasn't me."Not this time at least. But since Lizzy seemed to have jumped to conclusions at first and Mitsu noticed the other Reaper, it was a safe bet she might jump to the same assumption as well.

AudienceHerryk really wanted to pay attention to the play. He really did. There were just so many friends that were acting in it, but he just ... he had more important things to attend to. Like... taking pictures of himself in the theater for Freya, groanspringing and texting Freya... and texting Lizzy. The draugr brought out his phone once more, leaning over in his seat so that the brightness of the screen didn't bother anyone. He slowly typed out a text to Lizzy. Dragain sorry about macs face the first punch was 4 makign u cry He shot that text Lizzy's way before frowning at the screen. Maybe some kind of ... smiley face was in order. No, that kind of made him look like he was glad that he'd punched Mac. He was, but.. he didn't want to upset Lizzy. That was better. He snuck a glance over his shoulder so that he could watch her reaction. He hoped she wouldn't be too upset.
