What do you mean I got the part!? (play)

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew had been minding his own business, enjoying the peacefulness of his day as he walked down the hall. Unsuspecting of what was going to happen in only a few moments. One moment he is walking and minding his own business and the next minute one of the hall doors bursts open, students pouring out of it grabbing Mathew and yanking him in to the room. All of them gibbering and yabbering about some play.

Mathew had known that a ton of kids had gotten food poisoning, through no fault of his own. Mathew didn't even have time to react before he was pulled in to the room and people were holding up costumes to his body. Everything happened so fast and it seemed like only seconds later he was being pushed out to the auditorium wearing some dorky looking robe. It was black and itchy, a bit to small for him too. It felt tight around the chest and his boots poked out from under the robe. Apparently it was all they could do in short notice.

"Remember, your the evil Wizard." One of them hissed back at Mathew before shoving a few smoke bombs in to his hand and pushing him out on stage.

Stumbling forward Mathew looked out at the crowd of people who had payed to see a show. He didn't know what to do, he didn't have a script and all he knew was that he was some kind of evil wizard. What the fuck was he supposed to say? He just stood there, feeling lost. He had to do something though or else he would look like a total idiot.

Alright, I just gotta make something up...

"Behold my power!" He said with a flourish as he looked out over the crowd. "Your Princess has been kidnapped and with the full moon I will sacrifice her to the Dark Gods to enslave the kingdom." He said before letting out his best evil mastermind laugh.

Snapping out of his laugh he glared at the crowd once again, pointing his finger at them, moving it over the crowd to point at them all. "If any among you have the courage to stop me I challenge you, but know this. To reach me you will have to fight your way through my guardians. Your fate is sealed!" He cried out before throwing down the smoke bombs, using the cover of smoke to run off stage.

God that was horrible! He thought to himself from backstage.

[Falenor Xante]

OOC: Seeing as nobody else is posting, guess I'll bring our damsel in a little earlier than expected.

Unlike some, Fal knew exactly what was going on. He'd heard that the play was going to be sabotaged before it even happened and it didn't take much snooping around to find out they were going to try and run the play anyway. So what to do with no performers and no script? Why, grab somebody off the streets and tell them to improvise! That's how rainbow dreads found themselves hidden away beneath a blonde wig as somebody tried to explain how you put a dress on to a man who had never even considered the concept before now.

Somehow, of all the roles that could have been assigned to him, Falenor had ended up as the damsel in distress but just living his life was performing so playing a stupid princess would be easy by comparison. The make up was done rapidly and poorly, it was obvious that the princess was a man in women's clothing but it had almost a pantomime feel to it and the staff back stage all agreed it would have to do as they gave Fal his cue and shoved him out on stage.

Honestly, Fal didn't have a clue who had come on stage before him but he'd heard the basic gist of what they had said from back stage. Something about that evil laughter though seemed familiar but right now, the princess seemed to far more concerned with her lines. As the princess walked out beneath the staged moonlight, people closer to the front began to realise it was a man in a costume and started to laugh but nothing would put Fal off now. Opening his mouth to speak, the British boy tried to suppress all hints of his accent and surprisingly, his attempt at a female voice wasn't actually that bad.

"Alas, the moon rises in the sky and I, the Princess of all the lands am set to perish this night. The gods of the past cannot be allowed to return, let us pray that the knights of the realm ride fast or all may be lost."

The laughter stopped as students began to realise that regardless of gender, Falenor actually knew what he was doing when it came to acting. People shuffled in their seats to get comfortable, perhaps a little more prepared for what lay before them. Fal on the other hand had only just begun but for now, it was time to retreat off the stage while the characters introduced themselves.

"Footsteps? Someone comes to my chamber, I must hide!"

The princess turned to her left and right, trying to find an escape and eventually exited stage left, looking panicked. Fal's job was done for now, somebody else could take over for a while.

Too easy...
