RP: Rocky Horror Picture Show
Date: Saturday, January 29th, 2011 - around 11:30 PM
Characters: Tegan Bell, Allysande McDouglas (NPC),
Location: Inwood Theatre on Lover's Lane
Status: Public
Summary: It's time for Rocky Horror!
Completion: Incomplete
Tegan had been at the theatre for 45 minutes already. They usually let them in an hour before the show so they could move props and do set-up. Thankfully, the management was pretty awesome and let them make use of a little storage space behind their screen so they didn't have to haul lights and set pieces up and down stairs every week. At 11:00, she'd gone in with the techies to make sure everything was still there and get them started on set-up. Everything looked okay, so she headed back downstairs to wait for the rest of the cast - and to greet the meat for the night. She grinned to herself as she stepped outside. She made a quick detour to her car to grab the Screen Kits - rice, a water pistol, cards, a party hat, a little toilet paper - and set up shop by the entrance. The last movie should be getting out around 11:30 and she liked to wait there. Partially, it was to scare the Muggles (as they liked to call them), but it was also partially to try to draw attention to the fact that there was Rocky Horror here. Every week at least a couple of people would decide to stay to see the show - and a few more would return the next week.
She was dressed in her French Maid costume, corset done up underneath. Magenta, her character, never actually wore a corset, but Tegan liked the way it shaped her for the night. She was a busty woman and this definitely helped to emphasize that. It was too cold to be parading around in just the costume, though, so she had on leg warmers and an old army jacket.
A line began to form along the wall. Some were regulars, some were new, some were faces that were vaguely familiar - she'd probably only seen them a handful of times before. While she was nodding hello to one of her castmates, a familiar voice spoke up behind her.
"Look at you, slutting it up."
"I learned from the best." Tegan turned around, laughing. It was her best friend, Allysande - Ally. Ally was a fellow former gutterpunk street rat and their relationship was sometimes complicated. It didn't change the fact that Tegan loved her more than anyone else on earth. They were good together.
"I brought you a treat," Ally said, presenting Tegan with a venti from Starbucks.
"Oh, you are the best," Tegan declared, hugging her with one arm and taking her drink from her.
"I know," Ally said smugly, grinning. "I figured you'd be out here, prancing around in your underwear again and I thought, 'She's going to be cold.' And then, 'No way I'm gonna miss her in her underwear.'"
Tegan laughed again. "You've seen me in far less," she teased. "But I'm glad you came out. I know it's not always your things, but it's good to see you here." She pecked her on the lips. "Wanna be a techie tonight? I can comp your ticket if you do."
"Hmm, free ticket. What's my job, then?"
"You, my dear, are going to sell Screen Kits and mark the Virgins."
Ally lit up, grinning. "Excellent. I love fresh meat."
Tegan's cast had begun to gather around her in the meantime, chatting with each other. She quickly checked them in, making sure everyone showed. Jeff - their RiffRaff - was late again, but his motorcycle was unreliable at best, so hopefully he'd get here soon enough. Pretty much everyone was there and with their costume pieces. She had a handful stay out with her, including one of their two 'Security' people. The rest were sent inside to get warm and prepare.
"ATTENTION LADIES, GENTLEMEN, QUEERS, FAGS, DYKES, ASSHOLES, AND SLUTS!" she bellowed. The line quieted down, looking at her. "Especially the sluts." She winked, garnering laughs. "YOU SEE THE PRETTY GIRL WALKING ALONG THERE WITH A SINISTER SMILE? THAT IS ALLY, AND SHE IS HERE TO CULL THE HERD AND HELP YOU PREPARE. SHE IS SELLING SCREEN KITS FOR $3 A BAG - THAT'S RIGHT, FOR THREE DOLLARS YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ENJOY THE MOVIE. PARTY FAVORS, HATS, CARDS, TP, A WATER PISTOL, AND EVEN RICE! SHE IS ALSO HERE TO MARK VIRGINS. IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME SEEING ROCKY HORROR LIVE IN A THEATRE WITH A SHADOW CAST, YOU ARE A VIRGIN. VIRGINS GET A V ON THEIR FOREHEAD SO WE KNOW TO BE GENTLE."
Someone shouted back, "But what if we like it rough?"
Tegan laughed. "THEN YOU GET TWO Vs SO I CAN POP BOTH YOUR CHERRIES." More laughter from the line as people hooted and catcalled.
Ally made her way down the line, selling bags and marking virgins. Tegan grinned and followed her with some more bags, trying to get people on the second go-around. They'd be selling them inside, too, but it was basic marketing to put your product in front of people over and over again until they wanted it.
Not long now and the doors would open. She saw a decent amount of virgins here tonight - good. While they wouldn't know the call-outs, she did love exposing people to the culture and fun of RHPS. Looked like plenty of regulars were here as well, which would make for good call-outs.
