 Clair wanted to get into theater. She wanted to be an actor! A star! She had tried to practice on her own, but that lead to mostly her being bored and then getting distracted, so she had to go to a friend to help. Luckily Eudica didn't have any pressing plans at the moment as far as Clair was concerned, so with a bit of effort she managed to convince her friend to come down to the theater and help her. "So i just need you to read the doctor's lines. Im going to be trying out for the patient's part. Okay? are you ready?!" Eudica took her time looking over the script, much to Clair's disappointment, but finally the nightmare nodded and Clair jumped right in. "Okay! So my character just woke up, she is in a hospital, and the nurse is right next to her bed. Got it?"

 Eudica had to work to keep herself from sighing in response. She was helping! Besides, how was she supposed to help of she didn't even know what to say, who she was, or really anything? The nightmare looked over the script again, making sure she had the feel of it all down. She wanted to get into this doctor character, really give Clair something to work with. Finally, and maybe going just a bit slow to tick off Clair, the nightmare began. "How are you?" Eudica said in her deadpan voice, putting a hand on Clairs as if putting a hand on the patient to comfort them.

Clair, ever the dramatic, gave Eudica an exasperated, still stunned, look, and clasped the other girl's hands in her own. She shook her head a few times, opening and closing her mouth, as if at a loss for words. Finally, the "patient" managed to say something. "Just... still wondering how I survived." Clair worked hard to make it as dramatic as possible, even tho it was just 5 words. She added the "just". She thought it would make it more believable. If Eudica decided to try and correct Clair she could always say it was improv, and improv was a part of acting.

Eudica moved in to correct the fey, turning her script to the other girl to point out that she had gotten a word wrong. The baphoment frowned as Clair waved Eudica's help away, whispering something about improvisation, and its role in the threatre. With a skeptical look at the fey, Eudica looked back at her sheet of paper. "It sounded like it was quite an accident." Eudica responded, sounding like the most uninterested medical professional in the world. It was quite apparent that if she were a nurse she was severely lacking on bedside manners. Eudica looked up from the paper and into Clair's eyes. Awaiting the other to say her lines.

Clair had to fight to keep from laughing, or maybe being irritated, she could not decide between the two. Eudica's acting was just that bad. There was no feeling in it at all! Lucky, Clair was a good natured fay, and settled on sorting after the baphoment said her lines. "I caught it all on video. I was doing a video when the store opened up… it’s probably the reason I got trampled." The fay drew it out, adding a dramatic hand to her forehead and leaning back, as if she were about to feint. Thats what good actors did, they always over exaggerated their movements, making every little breath a show. Clair wishes she did have a hospital bed here. Then she could actually "faint".

"Those Black Friday sales are brutal." Eudica said quickly, thinking about the half eaten muffin she had been saving for dessert. It was already getting kinda late. She would much rather have a nice poppy seed muffin than having to read some play with Clair. Eudica frowned at the line, a black Friday sale? They were in the hospital for that? The nightmare would have shook her head if she wasn't in character. Well actually, she shook her head anyway. Nurse Eudica would totally have done that. It was feeling a lot like this nurse character was made just for her.

Clair pretended to take out her phone, smiling faintly at it, saying; "But I uploaded the video and it went viral. So maybe it was worth it… " She reached out to show the nurse, Eudica, her evidence then flinched back as if in pain from the movement. "ow, ow… maybe not." Clair did her best to fake the pain, clutching her side as if it was in pain. Eudica rolled her eyes, but played along, putting her hand on Clair's arm to comfort her. Clair would totally need to get some silly makeup for this. Like shoe treads on her face and arms. Yeah that would really sell it.

Eudica looked down at her script. It would be way more of a comedy if Clair had really gotten a quick kick, you know, real pain to help her acting, but no, Eudica was civilized nightmare. "Does anyone know what happened to you?" Eudica really put the pain of the situation in her voice. It would be pretty fitting for her, er, the nurse character, to be putting band-aids on the fay. "Do you have any family in town?" Eudica momentarily wondered if there were more parts in this little one act. She had assumed not, but if there were, what should she do? Put on some funny voices?

Clair put the pain into her voice, both physically from her character's injuries, and emotionally, as her next heartbreaking line would instill the pity the audience needed to have for her character. "They’re all busy shopping. I’m hoping they’ll see the video." Clair put on a small, hopeful smile, even going so far as to shrug. Tho of course, to make it all more realistic, she flinched at the movement, as if her entire body was in pain. The fay really would need to find out where to get like, a hospital bed. One that could be wheeled around probably. That would totally look authentic.

Eudica looked a little frustrated as she found her line. One word? How was she supposed to show Clair up with a one word line. The baphoment shook her head slowly, showing as much pity as she could shove into an expression. "Oh…" Eudica said sadly, building on the emotion by putting her hand on Clair's arm. Such a sad character! Her own family was too busy shopping to even check up on their daughter. Eudica was an orphan, but she had always figured those lucky enough to have parental units would have them caring enough to check up on their children.

Clair put on a determined expression, as if this were a life or death situation. For her character tho, it kinda was. She was some kid, most likely a teenager, stranded at a hospital, alone, after a terrible accident. "I will try to call them." Clair exaggerated pushing the buttons on her phone, making a show of dialing her parents. The nightmare sighed, and then put the phone up to her ear. Clair decided to add a little lip nibble, adding to her character's worry. She even tapped her fingers on her arm, anxiously awaiting the person she was trying to contact to pick up.

Eudica had really been working that sad look for this play thing, she would be a master at this once she was done here. Once again she looked sadly at the fay, her patient. An understanding, consoling smile on her lips. So sad, to have a child, hurt and alone, abandoned at a hospital. It was obviously a tragedy the nurse could hardly stand. "I hate to see you in here all alone." Eudica slowly shook her head as she slowly said her line. Man she was really getting into this. Something about Clair's enthusiasm and dedication seemed to seep into her, and she saw acting in a new light.

Eudica listened attentively as her patient, Clair, talked on the phone. With each new family member the nightmare tried, Eudica began to worry yet more. This girl really was all on her own. Who was going to pick her up? What was with these parental units?! They seemed to care more about their shopping then their own hurt daughter. The girl was tempted to take the phone and give these people a bite of her own mind. "That doesn’t sound good." Clair started to frown, a little anger. These people were being so very not responsible. Eudica patted Clair's arm again, full of both pity and consolation.
