Balthier still insists on dressing like pirates for the reunion. I've even pulled together a rather eye-catching wench outfit to match his... I'm bringing a dress too, I doubt he'll want to do more than make a spectacular entrance to the reunion in the Hook costume. At least I hope he doesn't insist on wearing it all night...
You and Aeris will be amazing parents... I've seen how you two are with Violet and it's just going to be even more when it's a child of your own. Stop worrying so much, Luxord...
You're going along with his insanity? Ms Fran, I thought you slightly more sensible than him. He'll probably wear that outfit the entire night, see if he doesn't.
I certainly hope we will be. We've gone ahead and begun the renovation of the spare room into what will be her room, if all goes well. During our last week, we're taking her shopping for her furniture and the paint for her room. She's very excited about the whole adoption, which would make it even worse if we can't keep her... I know I should stop worrying, but...she's been through quite a lot for a girl her age, and if we're yet another inadequate family, it would break her heart, she said. I don't want her to be disappointed ever again.
He can be very persuasive... He can wear that outfit all night if he wants, but that corset he's going to have me in isn't going to last all night. Especially not as sore as I am...
I'm sure she'll be very happy with you! There's no doubt in my mind that you two are going to have a daughter in a few short weeks! (But we'll give her a few days to adjust before subjecting her to Albanion and his hormones...)
Ah, my thinking is still correct. Hopefully he has the sense to change as well, I don't know how "in" ruffles seem to be at the moment. Is everything going all right with Violet? She was rather fussy the last I saw her. It's not colic or anything, is it?
Aeris seems to think the same, and she's normally right about her guesses. I might have to give her a few weeks before she meets Albanion. She's met Balthier, and doesn't care for him either way. She's a bit shy at first, but she'll probably warm up to him once he's not terrifying her as Captain Hook anymore.
I keep telling you to put some wool down around the edges of the harness! It will relieve a great deal of pressure, I assure you! The scratchiness is well worth it. I'm not sure what to say to convince the director that I am in no need of a flying harness, that I'm perfectly capable of holding my own in the running, jumping, gliding, and hopping associated with the role of Rufio! Although, taking a running leap from the sound box window and grabbing a wire makes for some awesome Tarzan Fun Times over the audience. ;D

I'd rather not be itchy, fine thank you. The tights are uncomfortable enough as it is, I don't want to have irritation along with this pain. Our director is just concerned about insurance and liability risks. If you fall while doing your routine, they could be held responsible.
We have, yes. We promised her that we would. She may be trying to surprise you, but perhaps it hasn't really sunk in that she may not be living at the orphanage any more... We heard from the woman in charge that Celes has had a rough past...we hope this won't be another disappointment for her.
[Private] No. No. No, no. They are not going to have any presence in my family. I know who you must be referring to, and I refuse. Do NOT let them know that Aeris and I are adopting. DO NOT. How do you think I obtained those bullet-wound scars? I want nothing to do with them, ever. [/Private]
If you're wearing tights, it shouldn't be an issue. We could always put a layer of silk over the wool! It'd be like a nice, soft pillow for the package! No smashing of the Hanging Ornaments. ;) The director is a worrisome wart. He knows I won't fall, and even if I did it would be my fault to learn from, not his.
Perhaps she's expecting what happened last time where the family didn't even show up and she stood waiting for six hours? What day is the Trial Run starting? Just keep your chin up, Luxord! You're a great guy, and things will pull through!
[Private] They know nothing about you. Trust me, I'm already pretty well second-hand man to the Big Guy, and he's now thoroughly convinced that doing anything to you and your family is a bad move and would look suspicious in the court room. That, and they're pretty unaware of my doings outside of their commands. I could make you mayor and they wouldn't notice. I'm sneaky like that! ;) [/Private]
I don't think there's any room in my costume to do so. Whoever sewed it did not foresee this problem, and I admit, neither did I. We don't have time for alterations, not now. He's just doing it for possible legal issues. I had to sign a waiver stating that in case of accident, I would not sue them.
Oh. We weren't told that was what happened...that's horrible. Our trial starts the same day as Production Week, and we'll know if we've been approved by opening night.
[Private] I hope they leave us alone. I don't want to have to live every day in fear of my life again, let alone have to worry about something happening my family. [/Private]
No one ever said the theater was a pain-free pursuit. One must suffer for their art.
And I plan to take as much pleasure as humanly possible out of your waxing pain. To see you stripped of all body hair will be something I plan to pass on to my grandchildren! And heaven help Albanion if he gets a girl knocked up at his age... do as father says, not at father does...!
And good for you getting your application approved! Remember, in this one teeny instance, I believe playing by the rules to be your best bet. With something as delicate as this, it's best not to take chances with shortcuts.
See? Tell your mother I can follow the law on occasion! I just choose not to. Simple!
I don't remember it being nearly this bad when I played John all those years ago. I'm not the only one who is suffering from this pain, after all.
I will not permit you to take photos of me like that. This incident will never be spoken of again after the play is finished. If he does, well, apple and tree and all that. As long as you teach him well about condoms, you should be all right.
When have I ever cheated, let alone on something like this? And there's no way that I am letting Celes have anything less than the best I can offer her.
I will, I will, but she'll still continue to fuss over you, you know that.
You forget one very important factor: how much older are you now? Seriously. We're not spring chickens anymore!
I insist on at least one. For posterity. So when Celes is older she may see her clean-shaven old man and feel the utter embarrassment! And we've already given him the condom talk. And we keep slipping some in his bag. Though, I get the feeling he'll be alright.
Good man! Carry on!
She's not going to stop, I know she won't. Bless her.
I know, every time I go to move after rehearsal, I'm reminded how old I am.
Aeris might manage to sneak a photo or two, but that's it. Celes has been very used to seeing me with a beard, I hope she handles it well that I suddenly look much, much different. If mum or Father find out that they're great-grandparents already, I believe they might skin you and Albanion alive and tack your hides to the side of the treehouse, oldest child or not.
I'll continue to, yes. Would you like to help us paint her room, or help move all of the furniture to her room? We'd certainly appreciate the help.
If the harness line snaps, I'm more likely to fall straight down. I'm never high enough to cause damage to myself, although if the extended rig fails, I will most certainly hit an audience member. I would be more worried about them, honestly.
I think you might be the cause of them, if we decide to go with the waxing method. I won't like it, but it would be better than having to shave again later in the week.
I'll go with your gut feelings, then, love. You're always right with those, it seems. As do I, dearest. As do I.
Yes. Doing backflips in mid air is much more fun than having the audience imagine it.
You know how to use a quarterstaff? Really? You've never told me that! I do appreciate the protection, though, love.
You predicted our meeting again, and I wish I would have fully trusted your predictions then. It might have saved me a lot of strife, and things might have turned out differently between us.
