To say I'm in a state of elation barely scrapes the surface of what I'm feeling right now.

I got the lead. I get to play PETER PAN.

The cast list is absolutely flooded with TTU students! Congratulations to everyone who made it!
I am most definitely opening that bottle of champagne tonight. If anyone else feels in the mood for a celebration, you're ( Read more... )

See, I told you you were awkward and perfect! Now, for us to start planning those epic sword battles!

That, and I expect my cheer to be raised every time I enter a room!

We have an official cast meeting on Monday. Perhaps before that? Balthier has to be there as well, the two of us have a rather smashing fight together.

I certainly don't have to start your cheer. You have the Lost Boys at first, not me. I'm certain they'll love you, though, so you might be able to expect it within a few rehearsals.

Ahah, the old man gets to kill me, doesn't he? Fantastic. I'm sure he'll enjoy that bit~ perhaps I'll have to come up with something amazing and brilliant to soak up HIS attention like a sponge. ALL EYES ON THE FADING RUFIO, CHAMPION OF THE LOST BOYS!

Aw, come on, at least once! And hey, most of those kids already love me. I don't know why, I'm such a bad influence... but they adore me. Ever since that Christmas caper, they haven't allowed me to go five days without visiting. I usually take them with me to the park to let them play while I work. They're fun.

Indeed he does, but Hook is eaten by the crocodile in the end, so all is well.
I think he's going to be nigh-unrecognisable underneath all of that make-up and hair, so perhaps you won't have to. As long as you keep to the script, I think our director will allow it.

You'll get your cheer, don't fret.
I had forgotten about that. At least they all know you, and I'm sure you'll have great chemistry with them on stage.
Do you know who Celes is? She's been cast as Maggie, but I don't think I've met her before...

Congratulations on getting the lead! :) I'm sure the world knows what part Balthier got... a pirate playing a pirate, quite appropriate, yes?

I'm sure the three of us will be at your house for Easter dinner! It means that I don't have to cook and that's something I won't complain about

Why, thank you, Ms Fran! And yes, it is quite appropriate, but I never thought anyone else was as suited to play Hook as Balthier. I hope it doesn't go to his head too much.

Certainly, yes. Will there be your fourth joining us, or is that a little too soon for her to make her grand entrance into the world?

If it does, I'm sure we both know a few ways to knock him down a few notches!

That all depends on her.. I'm due the 9th and my mid-wife has said that it could be any day now. Just have to wait and see what she decides to do

Indeed we do. I remember simply ignoring him when he becomes too pompous does the job quite nicely. Is there anything else in particular you've found that works?

Any day? I hope it's not during the middle of Easter dinner, although that would be quite the story to tell.

Oh, don't even talk about the bunnies! It's going to explode in here! There's even a hutch in here in the corner of the room, and it's all ready to have visitors in it. Baghera likes it, for some reason. He's made the little house in it his sleeping bag or something, I think.

Maybe he thinks he's a bunny?

cardsstarsdice March 27 2010, 03:09:26 UTC
Oh dear. That's not very good, cats should not be left unattended with rabbits, especially a pregnant one. What Baghera might see as "play" may seem to the rabbit as an attack, and neither one needs to have that happen right now.

He can stay around the cage on the outside, but I wouldn't let him stay inside. If he thinks he's a rabbit, well...I can't say I've ever seen that before in all of my years.

He DID spend his first couple weeks in the presence of a tall rabbit who taught him a thing or two about attacking things with ears...

He's doing okay with the mama bunny. He likes to lick her and give her baths. It's cute, and right now cute is amazing...

True, yes...but I'm still rather worried about that. If Father says anything about it, I suppose I'll go with his ruling.

Grooming is an integral part of social interaction for rabbits. If she grooms him back, then all is well, I guess.
Wait until they're born. Newborn rabbits are one of the best things in the world, if I do say so myself.

Thank you, dearest. I'm still amazed myself that I got the part, but I'll do my best.

I remember Father always reading those stories to me when I was younger. I don't know how many times I asked for those, only that eventually our copy's spine broke.

There is one part that hasn't been cast yet, and I'm not quite sure why. Would you, love, be interested in playing the Mermaid who saves Peter from drowning?

Thank you, love, for your confidence in me.

I don't know if the director will have an audition for that role. I'm sure if you just express interest, you'd get it, and it's not a very taxing role at all. Would you be willing to kiss me on stage?

I'm more than very pleased with getting the role I was shooting for. Even more so that I get to play opposite you, as your great and eternal rival, Captain James Hook!

It just gets better. There will be scenes where I won't even have to act... hahaha!

Oh, and I was walking by and catch Pedro in your dear wife's flowers again. Shot at the little bastard. I don't think he'll be doing it again by how fast he ran and how loudly he yelped as he did so.

I didn't expect to get this role at all. I thought I'd end up as Smee, but I suppose the callbacks convinced the director otherwise.
I cannot wait to choreograph our fight together. It'll be just like Hamlet when we were younger, except I don't die in the end, and I'm the only one wearing tights.

Scenes where you don't have to act? Which ones are they? The ones where you corrupt my children?

We stopped by his owners' house the other day. If he's gotten out again after that little chat we had with them, there will be dire consequences for that dog.
Please tell me you hit him in a non-lethal place.

It'll certainly be an interesting performance! But won't you have to shave for the role or will they pardon your facial hair?

My favourite part is going to be wearing the hook. That is going to make everything so worthwhile.

Oh no, not those scenes... I'll tell you about them when I see you next.

No, I didn't kill the bloody thing. I shot between its legs; one bullet narrowly avoiding his paws and the other barely missing his, ahem, personal parts...

cardsstarsdice March 28 2010, 16:02:20 UTC
I will have to eventually, I think. It makes stage make-up harder to apply, and I'm not sure if the director would prefer Peter with or without facial hair.
If I do have to shave, you'd better not laugh.

I'm going to enjoy flying again. The director wants to extend the flying rig to go out over the audience. I don't know precisely how that's going to happen yet.

I'm somewhat confused as to what you're hinting about. Should I be concerned for my general safety?

His owners said they were going to have him fixed...I see that hasn't happened yet.
