Cyrano has indeed spent all night writing. His hands are stained with ink, there's a bit of wine on the side of his collar, and his boots are kicked off.

He's resting with his thrice-plumed hat on his face, to shield him from the light, but is thankfully not snoring.

As indicated up there, he'll be sleeping only for the first commenter, resting (or pretending to) for the others.

He shrugs. "What do you need me to do? I can act," he strikes a dramatic pose. "Or I can help out the back stage!"

[cyranosavignien]

Too small for a soldier, alas, Cyrano thinks. `

"An additional stage hand would be helpful," he replies, "have you done this before?"

[hanihunny]

"We performed a lot in the Host Club!"

[cyranosavignien]

"Now, you do realize that a stage hand does not perform, hmmm?" Cyrano is a bit worried - what if this overly enthusiastic -- munchkin -- upstages the actors?

[hanihunny]

"Can I be an extra too? I can play all sorts of roles!"

[cyranosavignien]

"I'm afraid I don't have any parts for children, at this moment," Cyrano replies. "But I may need to think on it."

And he will! And typist has a bit of an idea, actually.

[hanihunny]

Hunny pouts - childishly. "... I'm an adult so I can play adults too."

[cyranosavignien]

"Of course you are," Cyrano replies, though he seriously doubts it. "Now you must understand that on stage, it may not be very visible - and that you would alas not be credible as a palace guard."

[hanihunny]

"But I could guard against anyone storming the castle! Hyy-yyya!" And he does a small but impressive mid-air karate kick.

[cyranosavignien]

That's really cute, no, it truly is. Cyrano facepalms. "..... Let me --- see, hm?"

He might be able to whip up a page's figuration part for a scene or two, perhaps.

[hanihunny]

Hunny grins up at him expectantly. He'd be happy doing anything, really.

[cyranosavignien]

Cyrano blinks at Hunny, and says, "--- Well, carry on, then, find Mr. Elric and speak to him about being a stage hand. We'll see about the rest later."

He doesn't like being pressured, can you tell, Hunny?

[hanihunny]

"Mr Elric? OK!" And he'll skip away, looking for Al.

Cyrano might notice a teenage boy standing and reading the notice.

"Cool," Tom says to himself, grinning a little, when he gets to the part about costumes.

[cyranosavignien]

Cyrano tips his hat, glances at the teen from under it. "That's a bit short, mon petit," he informs the boy from where he is, before he stands, stretches and puts his hat back on properly. "Is that all you have to say?"

One-word expletives, Cyrano does not like them. Then again, he's quite verbose himself.

It's to be noted that he does look the part of a musketeer, more or less, though he isn't exactly wearing a uniform.
