Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arlet had never been much of an actor, really. However, in this case, there had been so much of a hype around this school, she reluctantly figured she'd have to check it out. She took acting as a bit of a joke, something anything could do. Upon reading the plot, and cast list though, it was no longer a joke for her. Arlet was a bit of a dreamer, and the plot was amazing really. She always had fantasies such as these, and if she got a role, she'd be living in it! The heroic female protagonist, the charismatic and powerful King, and of course, the malicious, spiteful yet gorgeous antagonist, it was all simply perfect. She quickly scanned the cast list, and the first few roles, Arlet simply waved them off. The main roles would put too much of a heavy burden on her, and belly-dancing was already enough. But then, there was that role. Like any normal female girl, she had fallen in love with the Disney movies. Yes, the princesses were pretty, but for some reason, she was always attracted to the role of the Fairy Godmother. Without the magical wand, the princess would not have been led to her path of happiness! The Fairy Godmother was simply a necessity to any fantastical plot. To think, that this play actually had the perfect role for her! The fact that she might be playing as a feline simply enchanted her. A personal opinion of Arlet's, was that all pets, domestic or wild were simply dirty. It wasn't that she was disgusted by them, but she had always felt that humans were superior, and pets were pets. However, cats were the only exception to this. Several times a day, they cleaned themselves, just like a human being. And, back in the day, with the Egyptians, felines had been revered. That had to be a good sign. Though the only lines would be "Meow, meow, meow." Arlet was certain of the fact that she'd be able to do a good job. Purring was certainly her thing.

To her surprise, there had yet to be any auditioners. Arlet was expecting an auditorium full of her class-mates, but, perhaps it was the fact that she had simply arrived early. There was however, a lithe, busty woman, with a glorious head of orange that's silkiness was visible from where Arlet was positioned. Aha! So, she was the famed Miss Ursula Johnson, the stunning Theater teacher, of their very own school. She was dressed for officialness, and her seriousness about the play was visible in her monochrome attire, and for once, her cleavage was not shown. [Such a disappointment.] "You will first turn in your form to me and then make your way onto the stage, stopping directly in front of the camera. State your name clearly and the role you will be auditioning for. If you are wishing to try for multiple roles, I ask that you only read from one set of lines; I don't have the time to sit here and listen to you recite the readings for all of the characters, so choose wisely. Once you are finished, please make your way off stage to allow for the next participant to audition. If you are here just to apply for a backstage position, please give your form to me and, well, leave. Cast List will be posted on Thursday, whenever I feel like posting it. Whoever would like to go first, please make your way over here and turn in your form." the woman spoke with authority. There was definitely a lot of confidence needed for acting, which she had. If she did not manage to get even a minor role, it would truly be a scar on her pride. Omitting a cough to clear her throat, she brushed off invisible lint from her clothes, pushed back her hair, and made way for the stage.

The carpeted floor was tilted downward, and with each step Arlet took, her speed increased. Perhaps she should not have worn heels on that particular day. Her walk began to wobble, but she was almost there, right near Miss Johnson. Just as she managed to get to level ground, her right heel caught onto the foot of a leather chair, landing just about at the teacher's perfect legs. s**t. She was in a seriously awkward position, but at embarrassing times such as these, Arlet knew it was best to maintain a blase demeanor. That, she could do. Heck. She didn't even need this heels any longer. After all, when she was belly-dancing, nothing protected her soles, and that was when she was at her best. Getting up with a defiant smile on her face, she threw the newly bought pair somewhere into the back of the auditorium. Clearing her throat once more, Arlet got up in a fighting stance, and dropped her form onto the teacher's lap. This time, she did not make a reckless move as she gently climbed up the steps to the stage. Finally, it was her time to shine.

"Arlet Jahar, auditioning for the role of the Fairy Godcat." she spoke loudly, and as clearly as possible. She was nervous, but not to the point of stage-fright. Luckily, she had memorized her lines, [SHE'S A GENIUS >D] for she was without a script. Arlet vividly recalled the personality of her role. The cat was an indolent fellow, but Arlet could sympathize. After all, who wanted to catch fat, disease-ridden, rats? Perhaps, she could express some of this into her 'meow's.' After saying a mental mantra or two, she was prepared. "Meow." She was getting into her feline mode, and did a bit of a stretch before continuing, but thought what the role was trying to say. Perhaps, the cat was trying to explain its laziness? The importance of itself and the delivery it made? "Meowwww! Meow, meow." However, there was also that Kevin. He definitely pissed off Arlet. CATS WERE NOT USELESS! This, she portrayed into a feisty "Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrowwwww mewwwwwwww!", hopefully, her fighting spirit was visible. She sincerely wanted her character to help Nia on her conquest for true love as much as possible "MEOW! MEOW! MEOWMEOWMEOW!" Arlet passionately mewed, crawling across the stage, "paws" thrown in the air. This was the part, where she wanted to include her own personal fantasies. "Meow,meow-meow-meow. MEEEeow-meow meow meow meow!!!" she frantically pranced from right to left, acting as if she was on a dangerous journey, for Tramptalia could appear any moment now. This, was the climax of her acting, a part where Arlet portrayed sincere sorrow. "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" her cry was truly heart-rending, for the anguish could be heard. And then, they lived happily ever after, as did I, Arlet silently translated inside her head. "Meow meow meow mew~! Meowmeowmeow mRRRowww." Arlet finished with the most sluggish expression and pose possible.

"Thank you!" Arlet bowed in the most outrageous way possible, feeling victorious. How naive she was.
