Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

[bluth_illusions]

The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large

React to Phoebe's song.

Chloe clapped and cheered for Phoebe. There may have been some whistling too.

Re: Audience: Phoebe Halliwell

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe bowed and then winked at Chloe with a big grin on her face.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel cheered the loudest, most definitely.

Joxer

[bluth_illusions]

"Thank you, Phoebe. And now... Oh, god, why don't we have a bar in the auditorium? Here's Joxer singing that same damn song I've heard way too many times over the past two months. Also, he'll be playing a lyre."

Re: Joxer

[joxertehmighty]

Joxer walked onto the stage, and laughed. "Sorry, Mister GOB. You're the one who's a lyre, since I'm actually playing a lute." He paused. "My lyre was all out of tune, so you'll have to settle for this." He cleared his throat, and sang.

Joxer the Mighty,
Master of virility,
Every woman wants him,
He's so sexy it's a sin,
If you want a special tryst,
He's the man you can't resist,
By every measure he's a prize!
Just check out my shoe size!
Just check out my shoe size!
A-Ha!

And then, Joxer goes into a wailing lute solo. Well, as much as one can wail on a lute. And as much as Joxer's mediocre musical talents alow.

"Second verse, not the same as the first!"

Joxer the Mighty,
Capain of debauchery
Never seems to get enough,
Of their tantalizing stuff
If you need some company,
With Joxer there's a guarantee,
Of the highest potency!
He's Joxer, Joxer the Mighty!

He ended with a flourish and a bow.

"Thank you, Thank you."

Audience: Joxer

[bluth_illusions]

React in a hopefully more positive way than GOB did.

From behind the curtain where Cordelia was waiting backstage, she listened to Joxer's performance with an open mouth. She was going to have to really focus if she was going to go out there and seriously perform.

Re: Audience: Joxer

[pure_blooddraco]

Draco clapped wildly for Joxer. He had tears in his eyes from laughing too hard.

Re: Audience: Joxer

[peter__parker]

Peter blinked. A lot. "I swear he stole that second verse from an ad for an impotency drug."

Cordelia Chase

[bluth_illusions]

"And stay off stage! *ahem* Here's Cordelia Chase, performing a monologue from Measure for Measure, Act 2, Scene 2. She'll be playing the part of 'Chick with Monologue.'"

Re: Audience: Cordelia Chase

[upforachase]

Cordelia stepped onto the stage wearing a somewhat medieval-style dress. Or the best that she was able to find in town. Too bad she was wearing some very modern footwear with it. She cleared her throat quietly and walked to the centre of the stage.

Could great men thunder
As Jove himself does, Jove would ne'er be quiet,
For every pelting, petty officer
Would use his heaven for thunder;
Nothing but thunder! Merciful Heaven,
Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt
Spli-

Cordelia furrowed her brows and cleared her throat again.

Split'st the unwedgeable and gnarled oak
Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.

Cordelia paused for a moment, thinking really hard on why angels would want to steal humans' spleens.

Then she curtseyed.

Audience: Cordelia Chase

[bluth_illusions]

React to Cordelia's... um... Cordelia's... LINE! Oh, right. React to Cordelia's monologue.

Re: Audience: Cordelia Chase

[peter__parker]

The word "spleen" really seemed to be coming up a lot the past couple days. Peter clapped, happy that this was an improvement over Joxer's mildly disturbing song.

Re: Audience: Cordelia Chase

[willbedone]

"At least she didn't sing," Willow muttered.

Aeryn really doesn't know anything about acting, but Cordelia didn't fall down and she didn't hurt Aeryn's ears, so yay.
