Welcome to Gaia! ::

AUDIENCE


Sparrow Heartreed had, of course, been looking forward to the school play.

This was not really unusual, considering that he was abnormally gung-ho when it came to anything school related (especially in the case of studies and anything mathematical), but after the whole fiasco with the bogeymen and the attempts at closing down the school, Sparrow was now hoping to go back to having a bit of normality around.

Theoretically speaking, considering that nothing was ever really normal around here.

And despite the fact that he had not passed the exam according to Professor Malcom, Sparrow was, in any case, still a Knob now, instead of a Snot.

It was a rather exciting thought, though he felt no different, of course. Just the same old Sparrow Winston Heartreed - though perhaps a bit paler than usual, and quite a bit more wary of things since the recent incidents at the school.

But now it was time for the play, and Sparrow could maybe forget about everything and let himself relax, even if it were only for a few hours.

Quietly he made his way down the rows of chairs and selected one slightly off to the right, halfway down, and slipped into the first free seat he saw. Then he put his coat on the seat next to him and pulled out his skellyphone.



He looked at the screen for a moment, debating whether or not that sounded too gushy, then shrugged and hit send.

AUDIENCE


The voice that suddenly drifted into his head was familiar - and in his head. There was only one person that Sparrow knew to speak as such (at least, that he'd met so far), and he had not heard her come in.

"Riley!"

Pushing himself out of his seat, he made his way towards the back where the mindflayer sat, temporarily leaning against the seat in front of her to reach out and take her hand, squeezing it very gently before dropping it.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her, brows drawing together in concern. Sparrow had not seen the ghoul since she had been lying unconscious on the floor of Nurse Cricket's office, after all. "Better, I hope?"

A small smile touched his lips. "It is not unusual that you are out and about so soon - you are strong, after all."

Audience

Jericho had walked away for just a moment. A moment. And when he had returned, Riley had disappeared from her cot. Frantically, he had begun to look around for her, running all around the school to try and find where the Illithid had gone. He tried his room, her room, and a few other places. She was injured; she shouldn't have gotten too far!

After awhile, he finally made his way towards the auditorium where the school play was supposed to be held. He had been planning on keeping watch over his best friend so he thought he was going to miss the play again this year. So he hadn't really been planning on sticking if she turned out to not be inside.

But she was. And she was with a reaper he had seen around a couple of times.

"Riley! There you are! I've been looking all over for you. What are you doing out of bed?" he nagged while making his way towards the two.

Audience

Lark wasn't sure what to expect today. She'd really only come to give Roch some moral support. He was handling the music, after all, and as one of her only friends at the school it wasn't like she was going to NOT support his work. Since she was in a public building, Ben was desummoned. She'd taken a seat on the far edge of the theater so that she could resummon him when the play started. There was plenty of room where she sat, a wide aisle running alongside of her seat, and so Ben wouldn't be a hindrance when she called him. He had shown an interest in watching the play, which was another of the reasons she'd decided to make an appearance.

Kicking her booted feet up on the seat in front of her, Lark leaned back and tugged her hat off her head. She promptly went for her eyePhone, fiddling with various programs before deciding to check her groanspring. Sometimes her phone would chime and she would get so distracted that she wouldn't remember to check it until hours had passed -- sure enough the ghoul had a message, and her eyes nearly rolled out of her skull when she read it.

"Bleedin' oath. Y'gotta be kiddin' me."

Audience

Titus held the letter in his hand that had been sent inviting him to the school play. It was an interesting turn of fate how his problems had been solved. He hadn't wanted to come to this jack damn school anyway and now it was closing so instead of an acceptance letter they had sent this. His father would just have to suck it up and let him come back home.

The demon couldn't help but be curious though. He wasn't one to check out plays especially of the school variety but he was hoping to catch a hint of what was going on. The newspapers had only given him so much detail but it seemed like this school was in some pretty hot water. It honestly made him a little gleeful hoping to see a bit of chaos. Nothing warmed his heart more than seeing others squirm.

Pushing open the doors to the auditorium the nightmare demon had a look around at the scattered audience that had already gathered his eyes immediately catching the bright purple spaghetti monster at the door with a lizard....and a reaper. His look turned a little disgusted before he moved passed heading down the isle before taking a seat in the fifth row. Not far away from big blue. Getting comfortable Titus kicked his feet up on the seat in front of him wading up the invitation and shoving it in his pocket. "This jack damn play better be good."

Audience

Malodore entered not long after Jericho, head turning this way and that until finally it spotted what it had been looking for. It slumped with relief for a moment before making its way over to Riley and Jericho. "There you are," it said, though it seemed more relieved than angry. "I feared those dreadful Boogeymen had moved you again. Bastardi." It settled itself next to her, reaching for her hand.

Audience

Seeing how Xiu, Mot, and Hel were all in this play, Shun felt it would be appropriate to show some support by showing up. Aside from that, it may provide a nice little distraction from all the insanity that had been going on with the school in general. He had given Mitsu a call earlier on to tell her to meet up with him at the theater, then went ahead on his own.

There weren't too many people inside yet from what he could tell. Lark, Sparrow, Jericho, Herryk, and Riley were all here. There was one Reaper he didn't recognize though.

However...

There was one particular voice that he recognized. Turning, he soon narrowed his eyes as he spotted one face he did not want to see. At all.

"Oh, what the ******** are you doing here?" he frowned at Titus, taking a few steps towards the fifth row.
