The Second Play Post
Wow, it's weird to think that I've gone through two school plays while have a myOtaku account...
Anyways, Thursday and Friday were the play presentations of "Murder's In The Heir". Unlike all other times, this one had very little romance, and hardly any that intertwined with the plot. I got to play the cook, Minerva Walker. The tempermental cook, while you're at that. XD It was so much fun. I got to yell at two sixth graders - one in a lecture to stay away from the playboy, and the other at the butler. XD
Hmm...
It felt weird to come home on the bus today after more than a month of staying afterschool and rehearsing. Everybody in my posse misses it because everybody in my posse was in it. ^_^;;
We get a poster of various photos people took...once I get that, maybe I'll scan it. I got my picture taken a lot...
Anyways, onto my favorite part: Quotes!

(Nurse) Withers: "Mrs. Starkweather, what are you doing on the floor? With...Bensonhurst..."
Mrs. Starkweather (Fiona): "Ooh, picking up spilled pills. Please watch where you put your feet - both of them, my dear."

(Mess-up)
Jordan: "I came down to snack on Nancy."

Minerva (Me): "I bet! That boy better stay away from you!" *starts waving kitchen knife like a sword* "If he tries anything funny, I'll cut him down to size!"
Nancy: "Minerva, NO! ...You and a knife really freaks me out."
Me: (OOC) "Hey hey, c'mon! The last - and first - time I cut myself open was way back in second grade. I'm good now!"

Simon III: "It's okay Nancy." *tries to comfort her and ends up rubbing her leg*
Everyone backstage: T_T "...stop hitting on the maid, Simon.

Jean: *interrupts for the final time* "Excuse me, uh, again. You see, it would've been so easy for anyone to sneak into Mr. Starkweather's bedroom and..."
*continues*
Me: *slowly gets up from chair and takes out knife, crawling up to Jean. She keeps on jabbering*
*waves knife/twirls knife in fingers/pretends the knife is a throwing star*
Jean: *turns her head back, I shoot to be innocent* "And, uh...It would've been very easy for some to frighten Mr. Starkweather to death - FOR EXAMPLE, Minerva with her knife..."
Me: *hisses* "Killjoy! Bensonhurst comes before me!"
Nancy: *drags me back to my seat* "C'mon ma'am, c'mon, we gotta sit down..."

During a long period in the dark, attemtping to light candles... We start to improvise. =_=;;
Janet: "Um, could we please move it, uh, a little faster?"
Me: *snide* "Sorry Miss Davis, we're going as fast as we can."
Fiona: *lighting candles* "Ooh, sorry dear, oooh..."
Withers: T_T "The man's a multi-bilionaire and can only afford two lighters."
Me: "Mrs. Starkweather, are you alright?"
Fiona: "Yes dear, I'm fine...ooh dear...Ooh, this wick is too low..."
Rufus: "Ah, sorry ma'am..."

(XD That was fun)

Final Curtain Call:
Me: *comes out and swings out knife to point tip at audience*
Trent: *whaps me with the pillow*
Me: T_T *disgruntled*
Nancy: *dusts my head*

Almost home...
Ryu-chan (the Usher XD): "HEY! WAIT! Miz Culpepper! Miz Culpepper!"
Jean: "Good grief man, what is it?"
Ryu: "It's - it's a telegram! From - St. John!"
Jean: "Mr. St. John?" *snatches telegram*
Cast: "Hmm?" *crowds around Jean in semi-circle behind her*
Jean: "Oh...it seems Mr. St. John had a stroke of brilliance! Oh yes, it seems like he's come up with the perfect solution for the play!"
Cast: "Whaaaaat?" *looks at each other*
Jean: "Oh, I see there's some clues that we have to put into the first act, so it looks like we have to do the whole thing over again!"
Cast: "WHAT?!"
Jean: "C'mon, you guys can do it!"
Bensonhurst: "No we can't! Are you kidding?"
Jean: *laughs* "Oh...oh...this - this is brilliant! Better than anything I could've possibly come up with!"
Cast: *has slowly brought out their murder weapons or hands to stangle Jean*
Jean: "Oh...oh wow! Uh-huh...neat...this is amazing! Oh wow..."
Cast: *suddenly lunges*
Jean: "Huh - AHHH!!!"
*Lights go out. Curtain closes*
