Æ Play Thread
I’ve had this idea for a while: the Æs act out a play…but I wanted to wait until the conflict simmered down a bit.
SO, the Æs who wish to participate must fill out a sheet. But first, a bit more information.
They will be putting on Little Red Riding Hood. The available spots are:
CAST
*Little Red Riding Hood (I will just be referring to her as LRRH)
*The Wolf
*Granny
*The Woodcutter
*Assorted woodland creatures: fox, rabbit, bluebird (they have no lines)
CREW
*Cast director
*Lights manager
*Costume and makeup manager
*Set manager
*And three Æs for set crew (building & setting up the set)
Hey, I had an older brother and sister who were both in their high school’s drama club for as long as they were there, and I once acted a minor part in one of the plays, so I know my stuff!
No CBers allowed! (Well, I guess you can ask me if you have any questions, because I’ll be nervously hovering in the balcony, but otherwise it should just be Æs.
So all total, we need 14 Æs. Now, for the sheet!
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance:
Personality:
What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another)
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10)
Other:
We will be doing this RP-style, but the Æs can also just chat back and forth.
Now, for my Æs:
Name: Jarnen (this is his redone personality; see the thread on DtE)
Age: #ageless, but looks 14-ish
Appearance: Curly black hair, green eyes, black eye tattoo things, a few freckles.
Personality: Likes violent video games, loves music, (will not go anywhere without his iPod and earbuds) also likes other forms of performing arts, namely acting; isn’t awkward about girls. Wouldn’t mind just being friends with one. Is devoted to whichever girl he has a crush on, though.
What part do you want?: The Woodcutter!
Acting abilities: 9 out of 10
Other: Speaks in bold italics, with a British accent.
Name: Serene
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Appearance: Straight brown hair that goes slightly past her shoulders, brown eyes with green glasses, a lot of freckles. Is usually wearing some sort of scarf, with a t-shirt and Jenas.
Personality: Shy and quiet, likes reading. As a result of that, she has a wide vocabulary. Is an extreme introvert; doesn’t really like to do things that all the other Æs like. But she can be really nice and sweet if you need some comforting.
What part do you want?: One of the set crew, please?
Acting abilities: 2/10
Other: Speaks in italics
Name: Rosalyn
Gender: Female
Age: Undecided. Somewhere in early teens.
Appearance: Slightly darkish skin (from being in Hawaii), large brown eyes with long eyelashes, waist length curly hair. The hair is dark brown, with some touches of blond and auburn-ish red. Wears it down most of the time, usually with a flower stuck in it. Is generally small-ish overall.
Personality: Friendly and social with girl Æs, likes parties and dances. She is kind of flirty, but actually doesn’t tend to get very attached to a boy, though she often acts like it. Is always checking her appearance; she’s never without her makeup kit which includes a small mirror, lipstick, and eye shadow. She’s seldom without a boyfriend. (Except for now; Bolton left and now she’s flailing around helplessly. So I guess she’s looking for a crush—LEAFPOOL!!!—Oh, right, this isn’t a crush thread.)
What part do you want?: *Costume and makeup manager.*
Acting ability: 5/10
Other: Speaks in bold with asterisks.
Alright! I will post this, now, and let the other Æs sign up.
Adios!

Um . . . "Play Thread"? That sounds very lame. Maybe a "Hang out" thread, but PLAY? No. Count me out.
You have to read the whole thing, Feisty. It's a play thread for AEs, like Shakespeare plays.
What a horrible idea! Who would want to-
Since you're complaining so much, I'll sign you up. And it's a wonderful idea, you are just so much of a boy that you don't recognize proper art when you see it.
Would you be a dear and step aside, Coconut? I shall fill out my own sheet, thank you very much.
Oh no, I have to go. I'll be right back, my parents are calling me.
(December 27, 2016 - 5:33 pm)
OK, we can fill it out now. Here are the sheets:
Name: Feisty
Gender: Male
Age: #AGELESS, but looks to be somewhere in the range of 16-19. If that's possible XD
Appearance: Has messy black hair, pale skin, and dark green eyes. A mischevious grin, and he's a prankster.
Personality: It's all in the name. Why do I have to fill this one out?
You don't. I do.
But you'll tarnish my reputation! Help!
ANYways, Personality: Feisty, mischevious, prankster. Has a MAJOR crush on PSXtreme which is (luckily) returned.
What part do you want?: Hmm, let's see . . . How about-
NONE!!! Thanks, bye.
Argh, quit interrupting me! Fiesty will be. Um. Can he still help building the set? Because of below.
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) 0-1 (but 1 is only if we're in a generous mood)
Other: Is a dragon-boy, can turn into a dragon and has wings. So he'd be a really good set crew guy, if only to do the heavy lifting-
AAAAAHHHH!!!!!! SPARE ME!!!!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!!! HELP!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! I DON'T LIKE HEAVY LIFTING!!!!! I DON'T LIKE LIFTING THINGS!! I'D RATHER BE DOING, um-
Nothing?
EXACTLY!!!!! GAH WHY ME!!!!!
:/ What to do . . . *lightbulb* Nice theatrics, you might be better at acting then I thought! I think I'll-
Uh, but on second thought, being on the set crew is fine. I guess. *sighs dismally*
OK, now you're settled, let's move on to Licorice.
Name: Licorice le chat (which is french for The Cat, in case you were wondering)
Gender: Female
Age: Is ageless, looks to be around 17-19 though.
Appearance: Long black hair, jade-green eyes, pale skin. Is a cat-girl, so she has black cat ears with white tips. Can turn into a black cat with ears & eyes mentioned above, white paws, and a white tip to her tail.
Personality: Rather like Rarity from MLP, except not so wimpy, if y'know what I mean. She is dramatic and the perfect girly-girl.
What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another) I would enjoy helping Rosalyn with the costume and makeup, if that's all right with Leafpool?
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) I'd give her a 7.
Other: Is a cat-girl, as mentioned in Appearance.

Great idea, Leafpool! Hallia wants to enter.
Here I go!
Name: Eo-Lahallia (Hallia)
Gender: Female
Age: Er... Hey Scylla! When's my birthday?
Appearance: I'm a shape-shifter, so I can take the form of any animal I wish. I'm rarely a predator, never a human, and *shudder* definitely never a dragon. Never dragons. I'm usually a fawn, but sometimes I feel like being a songbird. Or anything, really.
Personality: I'm kind, sweet, and loyal. I'm very timid, but I would die if necessary for my family and friends. Chary says I'm too nice to get anywhere in life. I think I'm okay, though..
What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another) Seeing as I'm a shape-shifter, I could be any woodland animal you need. I could be a bird, or a deer, or... You can never have too many woodland animals, right?
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) 7?
Other:
Chary, want a part?
I'm staying out of this one.
(December 28, 2016 - 11:58 am)
Could I be a woodland creature if you have a spot left?
And since I saw no one for the Granny position, if you could, that would be nice. If not, a woodland creature as well.
(December 28, 2016 - 8:51 pm)
Hello, Rosalyn! Nice name by the way. I'm Mellie! It's a pleasure to work with you. So, I'm the lights manager, which I am very excited about!
I wanted to ask you 'bout the colors of the costumes. Will you have some sort of color scheme? I want to start figuring out the color scheme of the lights, and it would be nice to know what colors the costumes are. That way at dramaaaaaaatic or important moments which'll be most of the play the lights will be a contrasting color! And during more sereeene moments, it will have the same color scheme. Obviously LRRH'll be red. What abaout the other characters? Will they be on that end of the color wheel too or a different color? Oh dlon't worry, the stage won't look like a rainbow! It'll be subtle. And some lighting doesn't depend on the costumes.
One more thing! Syooo Leafpool can we get whatever types of lights we want? How many are up already? If nothing's up, I'll get the stage crew right away!
*yawn* Why all this preparation? It's booooring. Who cares about lights? You turn the lights on, you put the actors on the stage. Done! *pops gummy bear into mouth*
*supresses urge to hiss* What about scenery?
Eh that too.
And props?
Well yeah duh...
And making and buying the costumes.
Well of course someone has to get the costumes!
And different lighting, and spotlights. Don't ya think it adds to it?
Well...I guess so.
That's a looooong list we've got. And it's not even everything! See? Putting on a play takes work! Once you're performing, it's all fun and games, but before that? We do need preparing!
That's my girl! Respect the techies! Without them we'd be performing on a dark, empty stage with no audience.
OWLGIRL.
Fine fine fine.
I just thought you'd be too giggly and hyper to all of this.
I am giggly and hyper! *giggles* But I work too! And it's fun work!
FUN and WORK are two words that don't go together! It's a paramedic!
*giggles* Do you mean...paradox?
*huffs*

(December 30, 2016 - 8:46 pm)
ok, here is a list of the parts that are taken/available
*Little Red Riding Hood Mandi
*The Wolf Niccolai
*Granny Quill
*The Woodcutter Jarnen
*Assorted woodland creatures: Grace, Veranda, Hallia, Zeon
CREW
*Cast director Critic A
*Lights manager Mellie (assisted by Hobbes)
*Costume and makeup manager Rosalyn (assisted by Licorice)
*Set manager Mewfour
*And three Æs for set crew Serene, Grey and Doublock
@Jammira and Feisty, these parts are all filled, can you pick different ones?
(December 29, 2016 - 7:46 pm)
Umm..... I just checked, and I don't think any are left.
(December 30, 2016 - 5:18 pm)
well... technically we can still have more woodland creatures...?
(December 30, 2016 - 7:39 pm)
Thanks, Nebula.
Jammira, would you like to be an assistant Cast Director? And Fiesty, do you want to be Assistant Set Manager? And 8-Piece isn't on the list; he can also assist Mellie with the lights. And...let's see...Counter could be another set crew Æ.
NO MORE Æs CAN JOIN.
Okay, now I'll let my Æs take over....
*Alright. The Crew don't wear costumes, but all of them will have to wear black things. Just to blend in. I'm now working on the costumes. I have a few ready:
Mandi, as LRRH, will be wearing brown cropped leggings, with a red tunic over it. The tunic is a darkish red, that reaches down just above her knees. It is fitted down to her waist, where it flounces out a bit in ruffles. There is a line of five small brown buttons down from the neckline. She also has a cape of the same shade of red as the tunic. It drapes down to just above her shoes, and fastens at her neck with a little clip. Then, of course, there's a hood, which is...a hood.
Quill, as Granny, will be wearing a dark green ankle-length dress with a pattern of small flowers. She will also be wearing a lighter green knitted shawl, with a V-pattern of stripes. The shawl goes over her shoulders, and pins in front.
That's all I have for now, but I'll likely have some more tomorrow. And Mellie, it would be awesome to have the lights work with the colors of the costumes! I haven't figured them all out yet, though, so you'll have to wait. *Looks down at clipboard* I guess that's all for today for me.*
Okay, my turn. Mellie, Leafpool told me that most of the lights are installed already, but a few extras would be helpful, as not the whole stage is covered at the moment.
Now! Grey, Doublock, and Counter, there's a room for the set crew right across from the costume studio, and it has all the items we might need. Screwdrivers, wood, chicken wire, paint, hot glue, etc. As soon as Mewfour and Fiesty are ready, we can start building things...I know for a fact we'll need a few trees, and a house. It doesn't have to be a full house, of course, because that would be impossible, but at least two walls. See you soon!
Oh boy this is EXCITING. I can't wait to play the Woodcutter...oh, and there aren't scripts. *Groan* We'll have to improvise. But I'm pretty sure that we all know the story, so we can probably get along.
The Æs can start RPing soon.
(December 31, 2016 - 3:14 pm)
Alright then. Hallia, best of luck! I know you'll do a great job.
Thanks!
Take care of yourself, Hallia.
I will. You don't need to worry, Chary. At least it's not like Middle School! You'll see me more often.
I know, but.. Things just aren't the same when you're not around.
Aww, Chary..
Hey! No hugs! I've got sharp edges, remember?
R-right. Silly me!
Good luck.
Thanks!
*Hallia is mysteriously transported to the theater backstage*
Dun-dun-DUN!

Leafpool, I just wanted to let you know I have school starting on the 4th. So for RPing, I'll have to do it at school probably since I can't be on the PC at home then. But I'll make sure to have Quill here for her lines, and Zeon. If, for some reason, my AEs cannot make it (my not being to use a PC) then I'll let you know.
Oh, please do say we can participate, Ashlee. This means a lot to me.
Of course it does for you! Being that- Never mind. I don't want to get slapped.
Shush it, Zeon. The world doesn't need to hear your pathetic little voice today.
