Cos players, UNITE! [open]

[Sugimoto Kuromori]

I sat by my desk in the classroom, waiting for the rest of the students to arrive. I was so sure that there would be a few students that would not understand, but either way, this was one of the ways I got the students to participate. Seeing me in my outfit, they would giggle, they would stare, and they would hesitate, but not for long. Hopefully it would work. Maybe. I twirled in the seat a few times waiting for people to show up. I didn't care it was kinda childish, I was just having a little bit of fun. Big deal.

"Naze karera wa mada kokode wa nai nodesu ka?"

The flyers I had placed around the school foretold of a teacher holding auditions for an Anime play and for those who wanted to show up in costume to do so.

[[For those characters that speak or know Japanese: Why are they not here yet?]] Violet Lockheart

Vi would come running into class although her run would be somewhat staggered with the platform heels that she stood on bringing her stride about a bit awkwardly round the corners drawing their fair share of eyes in her general direction. For anyone who knew Vi she'd stand out quite clearly wearing a wig and all dressed up like something out of an anime. Well that was because she was cosplaying, she'd heard notifications from a teacher of hers that there was going to be a little bit of fun to be had today which started with dressing up. The idea was brilliant and Violet loved to dress up, nerves set aside she didn't even in the slightest consider to be ashamed of standing out amongst the crowd.

"Suimasen okuremashita! (Sorry I'm late!)

She didn't know Japanese fluently, just enough to get by on some subbed anime's and multitask aside. Prompting herself about Violet would stagger into her seat awkwardly prompting her skirt up so that it didn't frame awkwardly about the seat.

I sat up and grinned as a student finally came in and sat down.

"Īe, sore wa daijōbudesu." I looked up to see a girl dressed as Weiss from RWBY. I looked her up and down, my grin getting wider.

"I didn't expect anyone to actually show up in cosplay. I like it. You did well."

[Izhitza Lavender]

It was Izzy's first day here at 259, and things seemed strange already. It looked like just about every major location in the school
had a flier advertising some sort of cosplay meeting. Lavender took extra care to avoid it as long as she could, but
it got to the point where her schedule eventually pointed to the meeting classroom as the next destination.
It wasn't like Izhitza hated cosplay, she just found the idea of having anything to do with it embarrassing. Always in the fear of rejection from others. That is the life, of the Closet Otaku. 

Speaking of closets, Lavender can't bring one with her.......-obviously...so she brought a rather large bag instead. Looking inside, 
one would only catch sight of a pile of books titled "Algebra 1" and others titled "Etc" and one literally titled "Book, Volume 1"
But under that was the costume Izzy chose to bring. "Why did I even bring this? It's not like i'm going to use it." 
Lavender found herself confused for a short moment. 

Upon arriving to the room, she heard two individuals speaking Japanese to each other. Really? This was supposed to be America. 
It's not like Izzy couldn't understand what they were saying, it was just a pain to take time and translate, since Japanese is only the second language in command. German follows up for third. Lavender slightly pulled up her collar to hide a scar before entering the room strictly without batting so much as an eye at the other two in the room. Izzy took the seat 1 up from the bottom left desk of the room, that way she was next to a window. She liked this seat just as all male protagonists had in all of those School Anime's. 

"Diese Tätigkeit ist lächerlich ..." She mumbled to herself. Don't ask for a translation, because what was said doesn't really matter anyway. Something was just so satisfying about talking out loud, rather than just speaking thoughts inside, even though both ways, nobody around would understand.

That aside, Izzy recognized the student's costume, although the one the teacher dawned, Lavender knew not of. Recognizable or not, both had class which Izzy admired. She began to wonder what the other students would enter with.

Violet would grin with the recognition although failing that second bit of Japanese failing her knowledgeable extent of the language by a good mile. So in turn she'd simply dip with a curtsy splaying out the dress as she'd pass having taken up a front row seat as her pious little self could and mutually trying to emulate the character she'd applied as.

"I aim to please teach!" She'd respond informally however catching herself and bottling up her lips with a hand. Her eyes however would loose focus the instant another student arrived, a cute little minx running off some accented phrase that Violet missed entirely. Violet's eyes would follow as she crossed the room seeing fit to only glint up with a wide brimmed smile in return to the new student, seeing that she was Student Body President it was her job to welcome newcomers.

Once the girl reached her seat Violet would unceremoniously break the tension in her own...odd sort of way. "HIIII!!!" Nailed it!

I looked up as another student walked into the room. She didn't seem like she really wanted to be here so I just smiled and let Vi welcome her. I didn't want to over crowd her. I knew some people didn't like a lot of people.

A few others came in the room. Some wearing the school uniform, some wearing regular clothing, but a few wore costumes. There was a guy that came in looking oddly just like Asiv... I didn't think too much on that. Another female student was wearing a Cortana outfit. And believe me, It FITTED her well, Every crevice shown. Just wow. And the last, a male student, walked into the room, his entire aura shown of a flamboyant peacock. 'Look at me' it shouted with every step. He was dressed as Joker. He even had groupies. They were, of course, all female and fawned over his every move.

"Welcome. Please come in and take a seat."

[Izhitza Lavender]

(You have to be kidding me...) Izzy thought in disbelief as she watched a naked blue lady walk in, followed by the joker and his own personal harem. Wow. It's too bad the cosplayers had to represent the perverted side of the tradition.
The teacher kindly(and excitedly) welcomed each. So far, the costumes today seem promising.

Lavender continued to lazily survey the students gathering unti-"HIIII!!!"
Izzy yelped in surprise before falling out of her chair. Yes, very nailed indeed. The loud sound caused the other students to turn their heads. The girls just looked away with their noses up, feeling the Joker's attention had been stolen wrongfully.
She then scrambled to her feet before casting an angry glare at Katsuko. She began to open her mouth to say something, but the words were quickly lost. Lavender never was good with people. As she stood, anger turned into embarrassment, to the point her cheeks began to redden.
"Y-you need to watch where you're going!" Izzy pointed dynamically. But wait a minute, that accusation was incorrect. They weren't going anywhere, rather, Katsuko just surprised Lavender. There were no collisions. 
"I-i mean't to say speak up!-I-i mean be quiet!-I mean-no.." Izzy decided to wisely shut herself up before more mistakes were made. She straightened out her chair before sitting down and laying her face on the surface. Not another word was muttered.

This..was a bad day in the life of Izhitza.

Her eyes bounced excitably as the little kitten sprung from her chair at the "excitement" of Violet's welcoming call. It warmed her heart to such an extent that the girl had to refrain from squealing outright about how cute the reaction was however the same response was painted all across Violet's features refusing to leave the girl without a flitting glance. Violet had to capture this one....

In a "super-stealthy" attempt, Violet would move from her seat in a prone manner, all fours carrying her backwards through the rows of desks to the back row. Which as we all know how crowded the room had gotten plus the aggro which she'd called to herself with the boisterously loud call. -15 Stealth. Violet would bring herself to the seat adjacent to the girl crawling up it nonchalantly, however in doing so her rubber rapier would probably be positioned in such a way that it would jab the entirety of the row she walked up to one side as well as Izzy when she managed to come about in the seat lest they avoided it.

"Sup...." Vi would say in a 'cool' tone of voice slowly collecting herself in the seat. In all truthfulness she was probably a better fit for Ruby with the way she acted.

I made my way to the girls, a pleasant smile playing on my lips.

"Now ladies, if you would please." I placed my hand on Violet's desk. "Would you come to the front of the class? I thought I may use you to show the class what I expect from them. If you don't want to, I'll choose someone else."

I liked that she was a Pillar, and most Pillars got respect from the student body. This way, i would be sure to have the attention of the class. I'd give another smile to the delightfully frightened girl before making my way back to the front of the room.

"Students, I need your attention, please. May I have the... Joker join me up here as well?"

[Izhitza Lavender]

It obviously, well, obvious to everyone that Violet was sneaking around the classroom.(The rapier jabbing didn't help...-_-")
Lavender just sat with her hand to her forehead. She knew of the incoming pillar, but the midget found a great headache was involved in messing around with such a person. Jab jab. Izzy's ear twitched. The rapier decided to implant itself in her side for some reason. This was followed by a 'sup' that seemed to give the impression that the girl thought she was cool. This wasn't the case from an outside perspective.

Lavender just began to get agitated, when the teacher saved her by calling up the Joker along with the ice queen. 
Izzy wouldn't have attacked the pillar or anything, but she might have raised her voice, which could have caused complications.
One of these complications may involve detention. Anyway, she wanted to see what the teacher had to say.

Smooth.

Yeah Violet coasted by on a steady stream of cool most days or at least that's what she told herself in turn probably being the most socially awkward sort of individual there was to be had. Claiming her seat beside the girl who seemed rather embarrassed. That was silly what did she have to be embarrassed about she was adorable! Although Violet probably missing the fact of the matter that she was in fact the cause of this sort of response having drawn eyes from the entirety of the class. As a response she merely looked up with a Cheshire grin and held out a peace sign. Smooth 0.2

With that problem out of the way she turned to speak to the girl in a low whisper, "Hi I'm Violet nice to-" Her introduction cut off as the teacher requested her to the front. Damn. Her plans for capture foiled as she dutifully rose from her seat to the front mouthing 'I'll be right back' to the girl who at this point looked like she was already done with Violet at this point.

As the girl... Violet was her name, I remembered it from the newsletter. Violet... Lockhead.. Lock... something. Well, in any case, she followed me to the front of the class and the Joker sighed muttering a quick, 'Excuse me, ladies.' causing the girls to all sigh and aw at his presence leaving, I turned to face the class.

"We will begin with these two. I trust that by your being here is not just to cosplay but also due top your wanting to act. As the leader of the Thespians club, I am here to ensure just that. Now, I have decided that we should try out with one of the more difficult plays to deal with. I have brought you two choices. Violet, you shall decide. Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet? Once you have decided, I will give each of you your respective scripts and we will begin auditions."

I'd wait for her to decide before pulling out two scripts and handing them to her and Joker.

[Izhitza Lavender]

That's right. This was theater class basically. There was something about the idea of being someone you never could that made Lavender want to join. Everything in her heart said so, although this, of course, wouldn't be admitted out loud.
Izzy peered into her bag again before sighing with her hand to her forehead. Why did she bring a tiger costume anyway?
She should have figured the type of plays they would be doing obviously wouldn't be tropical. But...then again...Joker and the Ice Queen don't exactly fit in either.

It seemed like Violet(who the teacher so kindly identified) was about to say something to Izhitza, but she was interrupted of course when brought to the front of the class. Both Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet sounded good, so Izzy didn't care which Violet decided to choose.
Come to think of it; Lavender remembered reading Romeo and Juliet once upon a time, although she's only heard words about Macbeth.

Izzy remained silent.

Violet frowned a bit when she got up in front of the class; no well not entirely she was very much all glitz and glam that she usually was for the most part about campus but she was a little bit upset she didn't get to go about in appealing to a new friend. There was always time for that anyhow but when the Joker got up she could feel her skin peel back. Yes she'd been a fan of him in the past and maybe she was a bit biased now having read the most recent comic book where Harley gives him the beat down but this guy's persona irritated her to no end. Even the generous and kind part of her couldn't give way to an overwhelming egoism.

Vi would snap out of her anguish having been introduced with the choice. Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth. She'd read both of them and loved each. Being the closet romantic she wanted nothing more than to play Juliet in the sad love story that it was but looking across from her position to the Joker and his groupies she cringed.

"Ughh I Err.... Macbeth!" She'd grin brightly beaming outwards to the class posturing herself the rather demure character flaunting to look up to her counterpart, God she was not making out with that ever!

I smiled at the two and walked over to my desk. Picking up the scripts, I handed one to each. Joker sighed.

"Do we have to do Macbeth?" Joker complained.
"It's alright! You'll be fantastic!" One of the girls gushed.
"Well, I suppose I am quite gifted." His ego strummed and the girls sighed together.

I shook my head and handed him the booklet. Turning around I handed Violet hers as well. I'd walk around the room and hand each person their own copy. Returning to the front of the room, I would smile back at my two actors.

"Whenever you are ready." I sat down in my chair and watched. Natural talent was the best, but this was only an audition. This was purely for scouting talent.
