WHO: DRAMA CLUB!
WHAT: It's the first club meeting of the year! Let's meet and greet, and then talk about the fall play and our New York trip!
WHEN: January 19th
WHERE: Whatever theatre space there is. Probably Theatre Lenormand?
"Welcome to drama club!"
Michael wait until everyone is present and settled before spreading his hands, creating a few illusory flashes of colored light. Things like this are why a teacher with no actual theatre experience ended up in charge of this club. The meeting is happening in one of the school's rehearsal spaces, which is empty save for a circle of chairs. "For those of you who haven't met me, I'm Michael, your faculty adviser. Now, we're going to start things off with a little warm-up. Two truths and a lie! You - " Michael points to the student to his right. " - start. We'll go around the circle. Should be fun."
This is what you get for having a daemon as your faculty adviser. Icebreakers.
When that's over - entirely without said daemon participating, he is above this - Michael claps his hands together. "So! Some of you know this already, but this year, we've secured funding to take a club trip! We're going to New York City. Gonna see the sights, go to a few shows, all that stuff. This'll be after mid-terms, so don't worry about it right now. You should be focusing on your schoolwork, and responsible things like that. But seriously, who wants to see what? Oh, and you should pick out the play you want to do in the fall. I do have veto power on that, but I also don't really care."

[ Of all the icebreakers to choose, Two Truths and a Lie isn't the worst Michael can go with. It's the sort of icebreaker that's useful in the sense that you learn a lot about the people you play with, and it's great when it's the start of the year and people can't tell for sure whether you're playing by the rules, or simply offering up Zero Truths and Three Lies. ]
My turn, my turn~ Let's see~ Three things about me...! Alright, let's start off easy!
One! I've only broken bones five times in my life!
Two! I've thrown a beehive into somebody's house before!
Three! I've stabbed a man.
ii. school play
[ Kano has no real opinion of what they see in New York— he's excited about going to New York, going around on his own, but his passion for theater in general ultimately boils down to him being here only because Nana had asked him. Nevertheless, he perks up when Michael mentions the school play they're to put on in the fall, because he's way ahead of them. ]
Alright! It's your General speaking, so listen up!
[ He claps his hands, regardless of if that's effective in getting people's attentions. It's him... He's the General, apparently. ]
Here's what I propose! An original adaptation of a very popular story! Here, here, take a look and tell me what you think~
[ He's got part of the script written out and everything, printed out and ready to be distributed amongst the other club members. How do y'all feel about reenacting the Bee Movie? ]
ii
I'm fine with this.
[No one ELSE on the faculty would be, but people here keep putting Michael in ill-advised positions of power.]
no subject
[ He's got the major backing here, apparently because a demonic bastardization of hit movies is the way to go these days, but it won't be a play without other actors and stagehands on board.
He's banking on people being like Michael and honestly not caring about what they put on, and that gives Kano creative license to do whatever the hell he wants with the script :'') ]
quick threadjack b/c it seems funny, no worries if you'd rather I not <3
[Nana is the soul of innocence (...sort of).]
And the costuming would be great!
no subject
[ He slam his hand on whatever desk is nearby; nobody spoke up in the 0.24 seconds he'd allotted them, and so the club's fate is sealed. ]
ii
"Fuck.
"No," is all she says.
no subject
[ That hurts, Tyzias, ripping up his hard work like that...!! ]
But aw, come on~ Won't you give me something constructive? What don't you like about it?

[ Nana over there hadn't even recognized it, which it the only reason it wasn't shot down immediately to begin with. But now Kano's put minimal effort into writing up a workable script, and it'd be a waste to just scrap it. ]

[ and more importantly, blasting the song loud enough for Kano to hear means it's loud enough for everybody else to hear and have to suffer through, and his tolerance for bullshit is high when it comes to other people's suffering. ]

[ It's a small enough room that he can be as nosy as he wants, leaning over to sneak a peek at the pages. ]
You don't need to design anything new and fancy for my sake- just a radio works, doesn't it?

Something else, then? I want to see~
no subject
The temperature in the room drops a few degrees from Tyzias's voice.
ii
[That's all he can say - he just hopes it's just some kind of weird humor he's not getting due to language barriers]
no subject
It's a script, see? Why don't you give it a read, and try acting out the opening scene? I can play the demon off you.
no subject
Yellow. Black. Yellow. Back...
[Fakir says in a complete deadpan, and perhaps quieter than it should be]
no subject
The emotions are there! That's good, very good! But you gotta be louder! Remember, we're performing for an audience, and you can't rely on a microphone for everything~ You gotta enunciate! Speak from your stomach!
