AUDIENCE REACTIONS

[refinedmaestro]

HAD TO.

[straightatem]

[Jack had insisted upon seeing the performance and dragged along whoever he could. That being said they were in for a night of his special brand of audience behavior.

At the part in which the players gathered and divvied up their parts he was snickering all the way. Bottom was such a loud fool, and funny too. But when Flute protested to their part claiming they had a beard coming -- that was when Jack Aubrey lost it in a slightly loud, singular:]

Hah!

[noprevaricating]

[That gets a sudden look from Kennedy, although he's not looking greatly irritated. Most 18th-century audiences are known for being pretty damn vocal about plays. But that belt had been particularly sharp and loud, and the non-18th-century portion of the audience seemed to think noise was unwelcome. So odd for people so insistent on informality to want utter silence during plays, although laughter in the right places seems okay. Applause before the end of an act is not.

Really, he's just happy to see Shakespeare, and this is very different for him. He's used to the Bard's comedies being abridged within an inch of their lives, and seeing this in full is a treat.]

[halftheduet]

[A soft, brief, but long-suffering sigh comes from the other side of the large man.

The physician gently-- at least in his own estimations, it's certainly not what he did in Port Mahon-- drives his elbow into Aubrey's ribs.

Two hushed words, gentle enough but easily conveying what much of the audience seemed to be thinking, leave him.]

My dear.

THE PLAY/NEW FEATHER PARTY

[refinedmaestro]

Ami, looking to congratulate those involved in the play <3

[no_use_running]

Ami made a point to seek out the actors and those involved in the play, at the party afterward to offer her polite congratulations and remarks about the play's overall success.

[bemyused]

Somehow, in the midst of being surrounded by a million people and things way taller than he is, Pommy manages to find Ami during the afterparty.

"Myu, it's Mizuno!" he says, scurrying over to meet her. "Did Mizuno like the play? Did Pommy do a good job acting? It's Pommy's first time doing something like this!"

[no_use_running]

She's touched that he finds her so easily; her face breaks into a smile even as she quickly looks to be sure he won't run into anyone.

"You did very well!" she promises. Though it hadn't been entirely easy to him as anything but the round marshmallow puff.
