Backstage... The Pre-Show Jitters

[spyprincipal]

Principal Bristow is backstage with a bottle of sparkling grape juice and various small snack items. He awaits his thespians, although he's quite aware some may be sneaking in at the last minute.

Comments

[whitedeathpod]

John looks decidedly pale when he slips backstage. "Yay, I came," he mutters to himself.

[auroryborealis]

Rory woefully tiptoes in after John. "I think I may vomit. Or cry. Or both."

[whitedeathpod]

"Bridge says crying is unattractive." John looks pitifully nervous. "We should do it anyway."

[auroryborealis]

"Bridge hasn't seen me cry," Rory replied. "I happen to be pretty when I'm sad, thanks. Though I don't know how attractive anyone's going to find a tree." She bit her lip. "What if we went on strike? Would that work?"

[emo_padawan]

Anakin came hopping out of a dressing room, tugging at his bright blue tights.

"Why"--hop--"the"--hop--"blazes"--hop--"won't these things cooperate?"

He turned pleading eyes on the crowd. "Shoot me? Someone? Please?"

[auroryborealis]

Rory made a sad face at him. "Need help?"

[whitedeathpod]

From where he was getting into his contraption costume, John pointed and laughed just a little at Anakin.

[emo_padawan]

"He who is wearing a table shouldn't be snickering quite that loudly," Anakin muttered with a scowl.

[sogothcally]

Cally looks surprisingly confident. Perhaps too confident.

[whitedeathpod]

"Cally!" John waves from under his table. "Ready for this?"

[sogothcally]

"Very. Extra special prepared. It's like I've done nothing except go to classes and prepare for the pageant, really. I'm so ready to take this motherfrakker by the horns and stuff." She nods.

[whitedeathpod]

John nods. "Well...you're more ready then me. Got your lines memorized?"

[death_n_binky]

*DEATH is standing in the corner, offering fosee-zombie demonstrations and seems to have something resembling a video camera with him.*

Costume Check

[bugofjustice]

The Tick is backstage with a tape measure. It makes him feel more costume-persony. "Okay, people! Last minute costume checks here! Line up!"

John wheels over.

"Very good, John! Is it moving okay?"

Re: Costume Check

[whitedeathpod]

"So far, so good, sir. Do I look okay?"
