Oh, yay, it's our turn!

Antonio sauntered onto the stage and looked out at all of his co-workers in the audience. They seemed to have had rather mixed reactions to the previous skits, which made him wonder idly what their script would be like. Personally, he'd thought the first two had been funny, when you didn't try to take them seriously. Then again, wasn't this supposed to be a serious seminar? Oh, well.

He registered somewhere in the back of his mind that he owed Lovino dinner for this. Well, that could be tonight, then. Maybe they could go out, somewhere with atmosphere and a good red wine...or maybe he could cook something, if Lovino wasn't feeling up to dining out. There was an excellent arroz con pollo recipe he'd been meaning to try out...

Within about ten seconds of getting on stage, his mind began to drift off again, lost somewhere in his kitchen spice rack.

*FASTENS SEATBELT* This ride might be a little bumpy...

Lovino stiffened, still visibly upset after a run-in with a certain Frenchman, as he was handed his script. He skimmed over the first couple of lines and found no cause for panic... yet.

Employee: Phew, I am so bushwhacked.
-----------------------------------

Bushwhacked? Who uses that word in conversation? Seriously.

"Phew....I am so...bushwhacked." Being in front of his coworkers, saying that word felt so awkward.

*revs up the engine*

Antonio snapped himself back into reality. They had a skit to finish. Focus, Antonio, focus. Now then, where was he...

---------------------------------
[ From the Handwritten Script ]

Boss: Well, kid, you sure did a great job today.
-----------------------------------

Okay, so this was going to be a boss/employee sketch. Not bad, certainly a good idea to include that possibility. "Bushwhacked", though? Well, whatever.

He cleared his throat and gave a smile he hoped looked genuine. "Well, kid, you sure did a great job today." He put a hand on one of his hips and straightened his back just a little more for maximum boss-ness. He figured he should do the best job of looking the part as he could, after all.

LIKE A BOSS, boss? |:

[lovino_vargas]

Well, that seemed normal enough. Weren't these things supposed to be educational or something? Oh well.

---------------------------------
[ From the Handwritten Script ]

Employee: Thank you sir. It is always nice to be praised by you.
-----------------------------------

Okay, so my character likes attention. I can do that, I think.

"Thank you sir," he couldn't keep the sarcasm from that word. " It is always nice to be praised by you."

He looked over to Antonio, not expecting the glance to make him redden as much as it did. God, this was embarassing, but it hadn't been the worst that had happened, right?

REACTIONS HERE

[n_corp_mod]

Post your reactions to the skits in this thread so we don't interrupt the flow of the dialogues~ ♥

Both of you are AMAZING <3

[chocolat_smile]

Isabella blinked at the stage as the skit was carried out between her co-worker and the man she had just met earlier. Okay, she saw how this displayed an example of sexual harassment but she had a question. One she didn't know whether or not to ask.

How was Lovino--er, someone in that situation supposed to react?

Somehow she figured that the way the skit ended was what not to do. Hm. She would offer Lovino chocolates and a hug later. Maybe he would feel better--he didn't look very happy at the moment and she couldn't quite blame him.

She vaguely wondered who was next. And then remembered that she was one of the people on the list. Huh. What would she be put through? Who knew? Not her anyway. Last time she checked, she wasn't psychic.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF *now needs a Tshirt with Spain's "404 brain error" message*

Feliciano looked freaked out- wait, scratch that, he was. How was that the right thing to do? He made a mental note to never join a board if that was how to get on (though he wasn't entirely sure what one was). And then there was Lovi. He wanted to run after his brother, just to make sure he was all right and maybe to ward off some hapless janitor who might get in his way, but...

Lovi looked reeeeeeally mad right now. Supremely mad. And it would look bad if he left too. But on the other hand, his brother... A frown took up residence on his face, brows knit in worry.

PFFFFFFFFFFT OMG YOU GUYS. ♥♥♥

[nagoya_ben]

Holy crap. Well that was...interesting, to say the least. Feliks could only stand there, mouth hanging halfway open, and simply stare as the catastrophe unfolded. Geez, what was Lovino's problem? It was only a skit. Anybody could tell it totally wasn't meant to be taken seriously. The whole script in general was totally lame anyways. That was NOT how you flirted with someone. Gawd.

Feliks just sighed, shook his head, and tapped his foot a little impatiently. When was the next skit?

[not_anoldman]

And that's the third strike, Gerald thought, eyebrows practically twitching in the aftermath of Romius' rather terrible skits. He snatched the paper from Romius' hands as one of the Vargas twins--Gerald could not remember which at the moment--and his skit partner made their way off the stage. Admittedly, he was surprised Romius had not spared his grandson the embarrassment of participating in the seminar, but there was always the possibility Romius believed the boy would find them entertaining.

"I will write the next skit," Gerald told Romius flatly. Ignoring any complaints from that particular quarter, he spared a look at the remaining...volunteers, if they could be called as such. "Would Ms. Maes, Mr. Zwingli, and Ms. Lê be so kind as to perform the next skit?" He quickly scrawled out what he hoped was a passably educational dialogue and tore the three sheets out for the employees.

[chocolat_smile]

Isabella had just leaned back in her chair to see who was next when she heard a name that sounded awfully familiar. Well of course it sounded familiar! It was hers! She knew the other two, too--what were the odds? She knew Vash, oh yes indeed. She giggled a little at the thought of him being called "Mr. Zwingli." Linh she had seen a couple of times before. Well, that worked.

She received her portion of the skit and found that she was the first to speak. Okay then! Let the weirdness begin!

When two female employees are harassed, they turn to a fellow employee for advice. said the paper. Uh. What? Wait, this sounded...this sounded normal! Her eyes widened as she moved to scan the first line

[neatly_shot]

Vash, who had been a bit horror stricken from the other examples, wasn't the brightest sunshine at the moment. Of course he was regretting coming up there but, really, there wasn't much to do now. He just hoped he wouldn't get an ... inappropriate script.

When Isabella spoke first he rolled his eyes at her voice and did a quick look at his first line-- oh, he was next.

---------------------------------

[ From the Handwritten Script ]

F. Employee 2: I haven't been too great, to be honest. Someone in my department will not stop propositioning me even though I have insisted they stop.

-----------------------------------

Wait.

What?Female-- he was no woman! Vash stared down at his script with an expression of horror and confusion, because well- he wasn't. Hell, that guy had called him Mr. Zwingli! It was most likely a mix up when he passed out the scripts. Somehow. But that didn't make it any better

I feel so stupid, I thought it was Viet's turn OTL

[chocolat_smile]

Isabella almost snorted out loud and managed to muffle herself by shoving her hand over her mouth. So the next one was supposed to be a female employee and the one who started talking was... ... Vash?! So Vash was supposed to play the role of a harassed female employee. This was epic.

Oh she was never going to let this one go!

---------------------------------

[ From the Handwritten Script ]

F. Employee 1: What a coincidence! The same has been happening to me. Just yesterday, he approached me after everyone else had already left.

-----------------------------------

Oh wait. So wait, she was being harassed, too? Suddenly the setting wasn't as epic as it could have been. But it still had enough epic points for her!

"What a coincidence!" she cried, clapping her hands. "The same has been happening to me. Just yesterday, he approached me after everyone else had already left." ... ... what a jerk of a person to do something like that. "Darn him!" she added after a pause.
