I hate that I have to resort to this. Maybe I should have been nicer to you peopleI need stand-ins for The Nutcracker. Literally, stand-ins. That's all you have to do. Maybe move something and walk around a bit. Nothing difficult, no dancing. Just look stoic and then amused by little girls in tutus

I'd be happy to help, Zoey! Just let me know what you need.

The Nutcracker was my mum's favourite ballet!

[zoeyday]

Oh hell. You are a LIFESAVER. I'm not even kidding.

So you've seen it, then?

[stclaire_ab]

What flavour?

Sorry, bad joke. It's no problem, honestly!

I've seen it so many times. We went every winter, sometimes twice, since I can remember right up until my mum died, and then my dad and I still go once a year.

Actually, would I be able to invite him?

[zoeyday]

Cherry! (they're the only ones I like)

I'd say I'm sorry about your mum....but I always feel weird about that...so....

Absolutely. It's full of mostly inexperienced kids, but I can make sure he has any seat he wants even.

Maybe if you said 'hello' to people every once in a while, you wouldn't be havin' all this trouble.

[zoeyday]

You're opinion doesn't count. You're from a town of freakishly pleasant people.

[many_more_miles]

You're brilliant for this.

[riley_s_od]

No

[zoeyday]

Not even if I ask nicely and promise you shiny things?

[riley_s_od]

what kind of shiny things?

[zoeyday]

Whatever type of shiny things you want.

[gavinstrauss]

How many nights?

[zoeyday]

Three (Friday-Sunday, with a matinee on Sunday, too). And I'll need one rehearsal.

[gavinstrauss]

I should be able to help out if you think I'd work for what you need.

[zoeyday]

You would. Absolutely.

I owe you. A lot.
