Kyla had no idea why she decided to make Christmas dinner this year. She never really had the traditional 'Christmas Dinner' you saw in movies and she had to read up about it in some magazines to try and make sure she knew what she was doing. She had sent invites out to everyone - Allison, Kyle, her father of course, and to Ellen and Caprica. ( Read more... )

It is here: Opening night for my first official production as director of the opera: Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio. The fact that it's my second production already doesn't make any me less nervous, though I know we've put together a good show.

I'm very happy with young Paris' (parisprincetroy) performance as Belmonte and Faramir (faramir_hurin) is a fine Bassa ( Read more... )

As our production is finally ready to hit the stage, it's time to advertise it. So here I am, walking from shop to shop with a stack of posters under my arm to ask if I can put one up.

The Abduction from the Seraglio deserves a good turn out. The posters had been ready for a while and some had been adorning the opera house already for two weeks. ( Read more... )

Since the only ballrooms Kilrenko knows are in the opera house and the hotel, she opted to set up her date with Caprica in the hotel. Not that she was opposed to dancing out at the opera house, it would feel a little strange to ask her director for permission to use his venue for a private date... since she'd hit on him recently ( Read more... )

It was early morning on Sunday and Caprica still did not know what to get Leoben for Father's Day. This was a new thing for her and while she had seen all the suggestions in the store windows, none of them particularly seemed to fit Leoben himself. She was up early and shopping to try and find the right gift for him ( Read more... )

Caprica was not familiar with the concept of Valentine's Day, but the idea around the holiday became apparent quite quickly. The whole thing was a little overwhelming, if she was going to be honest. She never had someone be so in love with her that they would do little gestures like the ones she was seeing. As the day went on, the little gestures ( Read more... )

Swain stares down at the bomb in disbelief. How can their time have run out that fast? Shouldn't they have been faster, the two of them working together? The thought that he might never see Sally and Chloë again is one he had pushed to the back of his mind as he threw himself at this task, but now it comes rushing back. The fear of never kissing ( Read more... )

Castiel was at the fair, again, this time a few days later. He understood it now, and he really liked it there. He'd even gone on a few of the rides. This time, though, he was there to meet up with both Caprica Six and Sam. He'd texted them both, asking them to meet him by the Ferris Wheel. At least Six could guess what might be coming, poor Sam ( Read more... )

Laura is once again making sure that tables are filled with food and the park picnic tables have table clothes. This picnic is something she's found herself in charge of year after year, and she loves it. There's something about giving back to a village that gave her a second chance ( Read more... )

Finally! Castiel didn't know how he knew he had his powers back, except that he could feel it. It was relieving, to have his Grace free again. The beard wasn't gone, however, but it wasn't growing any more, and that was something he could much more easily deal with ( Read more... )
