[ACT I] afeatherpillow April 15 2011, 02:55:56 UTC

[Summary. Performers on stage are free to post about their going-ons. Performers back-stage and audience members may react.]

He has devoted himself diligently to this task, this moment in the spotlight. His memorization has been exact. His rehearsals have been thorough. His dedication has been strong. When he steps onto the stage, there is no fear, only excitement.

However, all this does nothing to change the fact that the Major simply. Cannot. Sing.

The audience realizes its collective peril when the 'Good Father' opens his mouth for 'Happiness At Last.' The Major's high-pitched, nasal, strongly-accented voice powers through his lyrics with confidence and enthusiasm, showing no awareness of the suffering he is inflicting. The expressions of his castmates become drawn and tense, as they try simply to make it through this.

When the Good Father gruesomely chokes his last in the stage ropes, eyes bulging as the Major gives the violence everything he's got, there is applause.

"They applauded me during my death throes! Did you see?" The Major is grinning backstage. "It is so good to have one's talents appreciated with such enthusiasm." He hummed happily to himself as he began preparing for the next act. Between being healed by Luna and the way this performance was proceeding, he was almost beginning to enjoy this bout of imprisonment!

IS SHE EVEN ALLOWED BACKSTAGE oh wait it's marceline saylikewhat April 15 2011, 22:34:33 UTC

Marceline, who was currently passing the time between retuning her axe bass backstage and divesting the color from a pack of Red Vines, shot a sideways grin in the Major's portly direction.

"Oh, for sure, man." She tossed one of the grey licorice strands into the distance, aiming vaguely in the direction of a trash can. Also, the conductor's head! "Those were some seriously sick tunes."

"Oh yes, absolutely! 'Sick,' is that what it is called these days?" Even Marceline's attitude and inexplicable licorice abuse couldn't bring the Major down right now. "Then I think our performance has been very sick indeed so far!"

[Summary. Same deal as Act I.]

Now this is where the Major is in his element. Cruelty. As the girl's reunion with her good parents gets darker and darker, the Major's lines take on more and more credibility. His voice is first insinuating, then strident as the Good Father and Good Mother discuss how everything must be her fault, that terrible little child. It almost makes up for his singing. The kittens are another matter.

The first one appears during the climax of 'Home Again.' The Major is holding a long note as best he can (not very well) when, without any warning whatsoever-

Mew.

There is an unpleasant buzzing sensation, an electric surge that makes him twitch violently, and then a kitten drops out of his formerly-injured shoulder. A fat, white, fluffy kitten dressed in a precious little white suit ( ... )

SKIPPING RIGHT TO THE END, OH YEAH osborncomplex April 15 2011, 05:10:31 UTC

Oh my god. Harry is trying not to look traumatized as he makes his way slowly out of the theater. He's desperately relieved that no one from work took him up on his invitation to see the musical... but really that's a terrible thing to think, so while waiting to see if Jessica or Katurian will show up, he chews his bottom lip and goes over what he might say to either of them. It's not difficult to think of things to say, it's just difficult to say them with confidence, which is really 99% of all polite lies. Jessica will need to be complimented, of course, which he has no trouble doing, but Katurian could be trickier. Probably, though, Katurian would be just as pleased with the truth as a truth-bending compliment.

Hopefully they won't be together.

Jessica bounded toward the lobby-area as soon as the curtain call was over, determined to be the first cast member to meet and greet their adoring public. Of course, she zeroed right in on Harry, grinning from ear to ear as she enthusiastically approached, still in costume and stage make-up.

"Hi, Harry!" She beamed triumphantly, fluffing her hair oh-so casually.

83!! osborncomplex April 17 2011, 02:02:19 UTC

"Hey," he greeted her, finding it easy to smile in response, even if it was slightly surreal to see her up close in costume and stage makeup. "You did great. You didn't look nervous at all."

And he could genuinely admire that, because he would've been pretty nervous if he'd been onstage, even if the musical hadn't been seriously weird.
