chicago designated rehearsal logThe rehearsals have tended to go well, if not for a few hiccups and delays by curse left and right (really, he should have taken that into account) and Lorne's been very happy with his turn out so far. There have been issues, sure. But the old saying holds true, and Lorne has faith in his little actors ( Read more... )

Doll had gone through the usual vigorous warm-up routine before the actual rehearsal, and she was taking advantage of the couple of minutes before they actually started to go and look for their director, hoping she'd find him quickly. He was usually always around.

Now that the show date was approaching she knew there'd be dress rehearsals at any time, and she had a rather specific reason to want to talk to Lorne about that. At the circus she always did her own hair and make-up and she was only a dancer in the show so she was hoping it would be the same but she thought it was better to ask him if that was okay. She really wouldn't feel comfortable with other people getting a look at the ruined side of her face.

Penny was enjoying the rehearsals. She wasn't much of an actress, but the singing and minimal amount of dancing she had to do were both fun. It helped that everyone involved with the production seemed incredibly nice, of course; being around friends, both old and new, was never a bad thing.

It was nice to see Doll getting into something fun, too. Penny worried about her. The City's habit of pulling people in and then making them disappear as quickly as they had arrived seemed to be taking a toll on her, and Penny considered any distraction from that inevitable fact a good thing.

She waved her friend down during a break in the action. "Freckles! Hey!"

The production really was serving as a good distraction for Doll. Not just because it was fun and she got to be around a lot of people she liked (though of course that helped too) but also because it was another thing to keep her busy and take up time that she'd otherwise waste feeling lonely and worrying about all her siblings back home, not to mention thinking about everyone who was leaving.

With the circus back home they'd be busy from when they woke up to when they went back to sleep, so while having some free time was nice it wasn't what she was used to at all. And the practice she was getting for the show could only help her performance in the circus, so that was another really good thing about it.

She turned quickly when she heard Penny's familiar voice, a cheerful smile already spreading across her face. "'ey Penny! You doin' alright? The whole thing's goin' really well, ain't it?"

"I'm doing great!" she replied enthusiastically. And, for the moment, she was being entirely honest. In the middle of any task, be it rehearsing or working, Penny found it easy enough to avoid dwelling on the latest wave of exits from the City. Talking to Doll also made things better; the circus performer had a certain something about her that never failed to lift Penny's spirits. "I think so. I mean, everyone definitely looks like they're having a good time.

"How's the dancing?"

Justin has been taking his role as stage crew coordinator--an important-sounding position, if nothing else--very seriously. Every rehearsal finds him backstage, notepad in hand, watching and waiting for something to go wrong.

This is the City, after all. Something will inevitably go wrong.

[ooc: Come up with problems for him to flail at, prod him, poke fun at him for making this Serious Business. Whatever. <3]

Lorne found his coordinator to be very organized as promised. He was used to taking on all of the responsibilities himself, but with Justin around, the tasks hadn't been so burdensome. He would have to take him out for drinks sometime in order to properly thank him for his hard work.

"On the watch, hey Justin-case?" So the joke was corny, and probably not original. It didn't stop Lorne from chuckling a little bit and clapping a hand on Justin's back.

While he had become slightly more accustomed to people who could work and have fun simultaneously since coming to the City (he did work with Abby for over a year, after all), Lorne's joviality during rehearsals baffled Justin to no end. Putting a production together in the City seemed not unlike putting together a puzzle with pieces that occasionally disappeared. The odds of everything going very wrong were monumentally high, and yet Lorne had no apparent concerns. It was inconceivable.

Lorne's jokes also caused Justin some amount of confusion. Puns had never been one of his fortes.

"Yes," he replied with a hesitant smile. Ah. Pun. He refers to his notepad to relay the issues of the day. "Three extras neglected to show up for rehearsal... and one of the stage lights burned out. Everything else is going well."

Challenges always made Lorne happy. Especially those that involved the more stoic, serious types and Justin was enough of a buzzkill the make the challenge extra fun. Not to mention facing a couple apocalypses put most everything else into perspective. Not to mention dealing with the Olsen twins' agent. He'd rather fight a fire breathing dragon then have that mess on his hands again.

"Hey, we're still above par, then! I think we deserve a round of applause. Oh, and just so you're aware, Doll will be doing her own makeup. I spoke to the girls already but I'd rather she's not faced with a hassle, hey?"

Off to the side of the stage sits Menolly, legs dangling over the edge as she peers down at the papers in her hands. A golden dragonette is perched on her shoulder, intently looking down at the papers as if she were actively reading them too. The little dragon cocks her head as Menolly hums, then sings a few bars of a song.

Myrnin steps up quietly behind her then sits on the stage next to her and hums a bit with her.

"Pity we're on the outs in the production."

Menolly lets her voice die off as she smiles a little over at Myrnin. Beauty chirps a hello and flicks her wings at him in greeting.

"That doesn't mean the production itself isn't something we can't enjoy."

Re: 19th Febuary-open to all! Backdating welcome! trapdoor_spider February 20 2010, 03:14:16 UTC

Myrnin chuckles and smiles a hello to Beauty then turns his attention back to Menolly.

"Well I certainly intend to try. Are you enjoying the rehearsals thus far?"
