to take a stage

Characters: Open
Date: 12/20/12
Summary: Practice and preparation for the local production of The Nutcracker
Warnings: N/A

[ The production is coming together at the Viridian Pavilion, the players set up on the large dancefloor, with seats for the audience settled into the grass.

While a bit meek in manner, The Damsel is doing an acceptable job as director. The Mother is watching to make sure that no one takes advantage of the girl's generosity to slack off, however. She won't see the little maiden's hopes be crushed by laziness.

There's also a child, The Girl herself, scurrying about the stage with opinions on everything and a mind for mischief nearly as wicked as The Vamp's, though not quite. The littlest trickster can be found interrupting readings and splotching freshly-painted set-pieces. The larger might be trimming the hemlines of the costumes up, and who knows what else.

You'll just have to do your best despite them.

The success of the play is counting on you! ]

Practice makes perfect.

Or you could see if Akira knows another instrument and you take the sheet music.
golden_gaytime: (oh!)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'll be able to learn a new instrument that quickly!
ritsu_kouyou: (18)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say pick up something new. You said you knew how to play other instruments, just not very well.
golden_gaytime: (I guess that's okay)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very sorry, but I had meant to say that I can barely play any other instrument. I'll find some way to work myself in, don't worry.
ritsu_kouyou: (90 - violin)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. Alright.

[And Akiha turns back to practicing herself, no sheet music needed.]
golden_gaytime: (how big was it?)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Of course, now that she's engaged Mugi in conversation, she won't be rid of her that easily. ] Have you been playing the violin long, Tohno-san?
ritsu_kouyou: (42)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[...not as planned. Her bow hand stills and she fixes Mugi with her glare.]

Close to a decade now.
golden_gaytime: (I think you're right)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's wonderful. You're quite skilled. I'm surprised at the lack of sheet music, though... you must have learned to play these pieces in that time, is that correct?
ritsu_kouyou: (90 - violin)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Tchaikovsky is a classical staple and any violinist of skill knows The Nutcracker by heart.
golden_gaytime: (pay me no heed)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's convenient, considering how this show sprang up out of nowhere.
ritsu_kouyou: (Default)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
At least it gives us something to do. Something more productive that allows those of us with culture to enjoy ourselves.
golden_gaytime: (please go on)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's a wonderful way to get everyone to work together.

[ Looking around, Mugi recognizes quite a number of faces. ] ...although I wonder who all will be left to enjoy the show as an audience.
ritsu_kouyou: (46)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The Queen and the other Incarnae, I suspect.
golden_gaytime: (service makes me nervous)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
For all of the days on the schedule?
ritsu_kouyou: (Default)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it really matter?
golden_gaytime: (kyun~)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-28 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
This will be the first time I've played so many days in a row. It's kind of exciting, actually!
ritsu_kouyou: (90 - violin)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-28 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
You've never been part of a show before?
golden_gaytime: (captain of the S.S. MOOG)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-28 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Never a balley, no. But I am in a band and previously we were all members of our school's Light Music Club, so we have played a few live shows before. Even overseas!
ritsu_kouyou: (Default)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-28 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Overseas? I take it that wasn't a tour then if it was only a few shows.
golden_gaytime: (I guess that's okay)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-29 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, the performances were actually... accidental.
ritsu_kouyou: (2)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-29 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Akiha raised and eyebrow.]

How on Earth is that possible?
golden_gaytime: (just in the frame)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-29 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time!

...twice!
ritsu_kouyou: (81)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-12-29 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I find that highly improbable.
golden_gaytime: (onward! {+all})

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-12-29 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
But it really did happen!
ritsu_kouyou: (73)
