Theater RPG 3!!!!
Theater RPG 3!!!!
Peter Caminski is hosting a very special talent show. Full of determination, Peter advertises his talent show all over town. He's trying to handpick a very special group of people for a special reason, and the theater gives him just the place to get started. However, as soon as he olds auditions, a LOT of complications pop up.
Here are just a few:
~He shares his biggest secret, his story, making his best friends, Violet and Toad, feel a little mad that he never trusted them with it before.
~He finds his long lost sister, Anelia, but can't figure out a good way to introduce her to his parents.
~He is reunited with his closest childhood friend, Rowen, after they severed ties because of several arguments, only to find she doesn't recognize him.
~Oh, and he only has a few more days to organize a talent show and fix up a gradually deteriorating theater.
So, the question is, are you going to help him out? You'll probably get into quite a mess, and if you go to Mabelton Public High School, you'll probably get teased for hanging out with Peter Caminski, and of course, I can't promise that getting a bunch of theater-inspired teens and tweens together isn't going to include a lot of fighting and friendship troubles. But Peter needs you—now more than ever.

If you haven't joined the first, or even second, of the Theater RPG series, than I advise that you read this http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/283117?page=6 before joining. We may have room for a few last minute acts, and ANY other talents would be appreciated (lights and sound, curtains, costumes, set, a little backstage fixer-upping).
Also, I think Zen left, so Violet may not be here anymore, but let's keep her as part of the team, okay?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! :D
And Anelia is back! (of course)
Name: Anelia Kaminska
Age (12-19 please): 13
Appearance: She is tall for her age, with a long, thick red braid and emerald green eyes. Anelia has pale skin with freckles. She wears casual clothes (sweatshirt, jeans, torn red Converse, etc.)
Personality: Anelia is quiet and serious, but very stubborn. Although she may seem odd when you meet her, when you get to know her she will be your friend forever. She is intelligent and loves to read. Also, Anelia is a full-on feminist and not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
Something they are hiding: She has escaped from her foster family and is living in the streets of Mableton.
Talents: She is a really good actress and good at hiding. Also, fluent in Polish.
Other: She is Peter's sister. (Out of charrie: are Tesha and Violet back for the third installment?)
(December 31, 2017 - 8:57 pm)
Tesha is! Thank you for remaking this, Rose bud!!

(Link to the second RP)
http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/319911
Name: Tesha Narang
Age (12-19 please): 12
Appearence: Very curly, thick, chin-length, dark brown hair worm often with barettes and headbands; brown skin, petite/almost malnourished; warm brown eyes; short, wears clothes found in lost and found boxes and dollar store sneakers (that are always untied), usually smiling, (note- in the first two RPs, Tesha had heterochromia. I'm changing that because it feels too cliche.)
Personality: Bright, pretty outgoing, has bouts of anger but they blow over quickly. Has learned to keep thoughts and problems to herself, doesn't talk about herself very much. Listens instead. (she does talk, but about other things) Creative, good at working with others- but, gets scared and nervous easily, and it's hard to regain her trust if you break it.
TL;DR- Optimistic/innocent and outgoing, but kind of jumpy/wary
Something they are hiding: She's having some family problems. Her mom is sort of abusive, mostly verbally, but she has been hit before. And he dad works the night-shift, so he's never around.
Talents (anything from picking locks to to singing to lightning-fast sketching): Writing plays, skits, whatever. She's not an astounding actor, but the things she writes make up for it. (maybe she could write something for actors in this RP? I don't know)
Also, has been taught to fight by her sisters. Prefers not to, but knows how.
(and never trips over her shoelaces despite them always being untied)
Other: Can help organize the show, if needed. Same with Toad.
~~~
Name: "Toad" Kinsella
Age (12-19 please): 15
Appearence: Bright orange hair (like, really orange); murky green eyes, pale skin, lots of freckles. Lanky; would be tall if he could stand; is in a wheelchair; wears zip-up hoodies, joggers, and Nikes;
Personality: Cool, calm, a natural leader. Handles things with a lot of tact and stays neutral in most conflicts. Self-confident.
Pretty popular at school???
A flaw of Toad's (since I didn't add any in the first RP's... not good!) is that he holds grudges forever, and is not that forgiving of a person. However, he doesn't have that many grudges.
Something they are hiding: Well, it's not a secret or anything, but Toad's legs are paralyzed. Before the accident (when he was 12), he had an amazing vertical jump and was an awesome basketball player, earning him the nickname "Toad". His real name is Kyle.
Misses being an athlete a lot.
Talents (anything from picking locks to to singing to lightning-fast sketching): Used to be really, really good at basketball, but has gotten more into the arts after the accident. He's taken up a few instruments and is especially good at playing the flute. A natural leader.
Other: Possibly in a wheelchair basketball club? Depends on the size of this town.
(January 1, 2018 - 2:00 pm)
Is it alright if I join? I wasn't a part of the last two, but I'll read what happened!
Name: Victoria "Vikki" Beckett
Age: 14
Appearance: Shoulder-length blonde hair she straightens every day, green eyes. A little taller than average. Usually wears leggings and whatever t-shirt she can find lying around, sometimes she adds jewlery or a cardigan. Tan skin that she claims is natural.
Personality: From a first impression-normal. It seems as if everything she does and says is with the intent on being a carbon copy of everyone else. She is extremely self-conscious, and a little obsessed with fitting in with people. It takes a while to get to really know her, but once you do, she's great to be around. She's friendly, sarcastic, and adventurous. Extremely creative. Has great ideas & loves to try new things.
Something they are hiding: Her father is ~really~ rich, but she's lived with her mom ever since her parent's divorce.
Talents: She designs costumes and styles hair.
Other: She can sing and play guitar, but she's really shy about it.
(January 1, 2018 - 4:06 pm)
These two are coming back! Gosh, the original sheets needed proofreading xD They're not bad in terms of content though, so I'm copy/pasting and making minor changes.
Name: Luke Baker
Age: 14
Appearance: The first thing people notice about Luke is his breathing tube. He has cystic
fibrosis, an incurable disease that affects the lungs and digestive
system. It's not as extreme as some cases, but he does need to carry
around an oxygen cart to help him breathe. His skin is pale, with no
tanning, because he rarely goes outside; if he does, he burns almost
instantly. Due to his condition, Luke's really skinny and spindly, and he still hasn't entered puberty. His
hair is blond and curly, his eyes a light brown. Luke bites his nails,
so they're always jagged and short.
Personality: A sweet kid! Luke's not afraid to go up and talk to people,
and he does his best to befriend everyone he meets. He has a way of
knowing exactly how to interact with a person after just a few lines of
conversation, and from there adjusts himself to be awkward or brash or
quiet so that they're the most comfortable they can be. But Luke's also
naive, really trusting, and will listen to almost anyone, which is
why his parents insist that he has a chaperone everywhere he
goes (though this is also due to the dangers of his condition). Luke is stubborn, dedicated, and loyal, which makes for an impressive combination when someone or something gets in the way of
someone or something he cares about.
Something they are hiding: Luke is getting worse. His breathing is
shallower than ever, he gets heartburn, and sometimes he gets
constipated, or blood appears when he coughs. But he's worried that if
he tells anyone, he'll be carted off to a hospital somewhere and
separated from everything he loves.
Talents: Technology! Luke takes online coding classes, and he's also
good with mechanics. He'd make an excellent sound/light
booth guy, cough cough ahem.
Other: Apart from the symptoms he hides, Luke has a chronic cough that
often includes phlegm, and he's suffered from pneumonia twice.
Name: Brianna Struck
Age: 15
Appearance: Brianna is Latina, with silky black hair and a skinny, tall
build. She wears golden hoops in her ears and small amounts of makeup.
She tends to wear fashionable outfits, whose modesty varies depending on her mood. Multiple bad habits of hers include picking at her eyelashes, nails, and
dry skin.
Personality: Brianna has a minor case of depression, and though she
doesn't want to, her parents force her to take meds every day to
surpress it. She's a very moody kid and snaps easily; she's also
incredibly impatient. Brianna's not good with people, and prefers for people to approach her, instead of the other way around. From there she's
a good conversationalist, if nothing you say irks her. She holds
grudges, which makes it so she dislikes practically everyone in town, but
she's not mean; instead, she mostly ignores or avoids people she
dislikes.
Something they are hiding: Brianna is ADHD. Her parents and teachers
know, but she doesn't like to tell other kids for fear they'll make fun
of her.
Talents: Sewing! Brianna is a girly person, and she's
found that designing is one of the few things she can concentrate on for long periods of time. She gets very excited when she talks about her
work, and almost half the clothes she wears were made by herself.
Other: Also has minor asthesma, but it only really kicks in during hay
fever season. She'll be a good costumer.
(January 1, 2018 - 4:16 pm)
Name: Selena (goes by Sel) Whitford
age: 15
gender: female
appearance: Straight black hair cut an inch or a little more than that above her shoulders with a slight curve to the cut almost like a bob, diagonal bangs with jagged edges that get into her eyes kind of a lot, pale skin, black eyes, pretty much always wears black, so... um... yes. Emo. Oh and she always wears a necklace with a little silver compass charm on it.
personality: Never says more than she has to, extremely introverted, quiet, reserved, surly, serious most of the time but sometimes sarcastic, can be extremely Snape-like when she wants to be, actually a softie and struggles with nightmares and anxiety but kind of closes herself off and appears kind of aloof to others because of her... issues.
Something she is hiding: Her nightmares and anxiety, and why she has them. Her parents died when she was little, and also a fire in her foster parents' house when she was seven was a very traumatic experience, so yeah.
Talents: Incredibly smart, both a fast reader and advanced in math, although in truth she's more artsy and has a secret passion for theater, and is longing to try out for something one day.
Other: n/a
Azkiel says fvky. Um no, I don't have any keys to anything, let alone a favorite one.
(January 1, 2018 - 5:22 pm)
Man, I missed out on the first two ones, I cant pass this one up! So, is it possible if I can reserve?
(January 1, 2018 - 7:10 pm)
Really sorry Rose Bud, but I can’t join right now... I will be reading tho!
(January 2, 2018 - 9:58 pm)
Anyone can join! We can start tomorrow or the day after, depending on who all wants to join.
(January 2, 2018 - 9:33 am)
Name: Jasmine Young
Age: 13
Appearance: Long, wavy red hair and green eyes. She's average height for her age and has a slim build.
Personality: She is loud, enthusiastic and sort of wild. Dreams of peforming in musical theatre professional.
Something they are (were) hiding: Her parents don't want her to sing or dance- they'd rather she choose a "sensible" career. They don't want to get ideas into her head. Jasmine thinks that if she wins the talent show maybe she can show her parents that she's not useless. Maybe they would even be proud.
Talents: singing and dancing.
Other: she needs a friend...
(January 3, 2018 - 4:07 am)
Also I would like to add that Sel is an accomplished pianist.
(January 3, 2018 - 12:48 pm)
Lilypad, I think Vikki and Jasmine could be friends if you want
(January 3, 2018 - 7:54 pm)
WE START TOMORROW
Because, ironically, I have theatre rehearsal on every other night!
(January 4, 2018 - 9:19 pm)
Peter~
I race through my homework, stopping every few math problems or English questions to go back to my Talent Show notebook.
"So we let Tesha and Anelia go last..." I mutter, scribbling a star next to their act, "Bear With Me."
"Luke's doing sound and light...Brianna's doing costumes, got that down already... we'll need to build Toad a ramp on Set Day. Set Day...WAIT! Today's Set Day!" Standing up quickly, I let my mathbook slide off my knees and onto the floor. 7 problems left, I note as I jump out through my bedroom door, I can probably do them tomorrow.
"Peter!" Mom calls over the noise of a blender. Uh-oh.
"Hi Mom! I—um, just finished my homework!" I lean over the stair rail, only to trip over the carpet running over the hardwood stairs like a frozen waterfall. I slide down three more steps before landing—hard—on a middle step and half rolling/half tumbling down the rest.
The blender switches off.
"Are you okay?" Mom's head pokes around the corner. She has flour all over her shirt and brushing the tips of her thick, dark, curly hair. I scramble up quickly.
"Yes. I fell down the stairs. For the 15,000nth time." She smiles, then sneezes and brushes flour off her shoulders.
"Peter," she begins, smiling wider, then letting out a snort of laughter.
"What?" I demand.
"Your socks aren't matching."
"Oh." I look down quickly. Sure enough, in my haste to get ready for school in the morning, I hadn't taken the time to find matching socks.
"Well, there's no time to change them now, I've got go! Actually, I'm going to be late!" I inch towards the door.
"Where are you running off too?"
"To see Dad! Well, to get ice cream with Toad, Violet and Anelia, then we're going to the theater to meet everyone else work on the sets. But we won't have any time for ice cream if I don't hurry," I explain, my hand on the door handle.
"Okay, okay! Back before dark, call me if you need me to pick you up," she chants in a sing-songy voice.
"I know the drill!" I answer, yanking open the door and racing down the concrete steps to my bike, crashed impatiently at the bottom, as usual.
"Wait!" Mom says suddenly, frowning, "who's Anelia again?"
Oh no. Anelia. What did I say about Anelia? Had they met at the dinner thingie? Who had I introduced her as?
I can't remember.
"Violet's friend??" I try.
"Oh yeah! Anelia!" Mom remembers, "well, goodbye, have fun!"
I'm already speeding away. If only I could get away from my problems as easily as I can hop on my bike and run from my homework. How am I EVER going to reveal who Anelia really is?
(January 5, 2018 - 9:22 pm)
Anelia~
I speedwalk down the street towards the ice cream shop, my hood pulled over my face. It's been two weeks since I escaped from the Smiths, and I am not taking any risks now. Except for the signs everywhere:
MISSING: A girl about 13 years old. About 5'6". Has red hair and green eyes. Goes by the name of Amelia Smith. Last seen at 231 Main St., Mableton. If found, call xxx-xxx-xxxx.
And my school picture from third grade, which I can't even remember getting.
I sigh. They spelled my name wrong. Again. I've been tormented by years of non-Polish teachers adding me to the ranks of Amelias and even Emilias(!).
I pause to kick the poster into a mud puddle. Satisfied, I round the corner and see the ice cream shop. I break into a run as I see Peter's dad's car pull into the ice cream shop's parking lot. I reach the passenger side just as he parks. Peter and Violet were biking behind the car, and I see Toad wheeling himself down the block. They all reach the parking lot at roughly the same time.
"Hello, Peter!" I say.
"Hey Anelia," he replies, smiling down at me.
We all step into the shop, breathing in the heavenly scent of the ice cream. After we get our cones, we sit down at a table and start talking about the talent show.
"Today is Set Day. We have to build Toad a ramp. Anelia, you can't sleep backstage anymore- I have somewhere else in the theater that you can stay. It'll probably be less creepy anyway," Peter laughs with these last words. You see, since I escaped from the Smiths I have been sleeping backstage at the theater until Violet's backyard shed is ready for human occupation.
"My shed is almost ready for you to move in, Anelia," says Violet, echoing my thoughts exactly.
"Thank you," I say. "What are the other sets we need?"
Fifteen minutes and a paper napkin full of ideas later, we are ready to head to the theater. It's very close, and we are inside in five minutes. Everyone else is there- some helping with others' costumes, some desperately trying to clean the theater.
"Let's go," I say, and get to work.
(January 6, 2018 - 4:07 pm)
