Anyone interested in helping backstages, please see me. We need costumes, people to do the lights, music, sets, props...you get the picture. Any and all help appreciated.
Spike left again.
Bobby and Rebekah
Rebekah and Bobby excitedly went to see the posted cast, happy when they saw they had received their parts.
"This will be so much fun," Bobby grinned.
"Oui," Rebekah agreed.
Mordred and Vortigern
Mordred and Vortigern went down together to find out what parts they had recieved.
Vortigern beamed when he saw he had Christian, but was equally perturbed when he saw the role Mordred had recieved.
"How odd..."
"Actually, I get to sing in that role. And I have just as much on stage time." Mordred shrugged slightly. "It's fine, Vort. Really."
Julie and Rogue
"Am I in?" Julie asked. "No... no I can't look... can you?"
Rogue giggled.
"Yep. You're Nini."
"Nini? Me?" Julie paused, and a smirk crossed her face. "Yeah, I can do that."
"And Ah'm Audrey."
Displaced
The Displaced looked at the board.
Great, you guys all have roles. Jonothon nodded slightly.
"Oh, I have to find Mordred..." Octavian murmured. "I didn't even audition for the Duke..."
"He doesn't care," Angelo put in. "I heard him talking to Vort about it."
"Well, that's ok then."
Gwen
Gwen went to see the cast list and looked thoughtful at Mordred not getting his part.
She decided to go find him to see if he needed cheering up. She found him with Vort.
"Hey guys."
Mordred and Vortigern
Mordred looked up and smiled.
"Hey love."
"Hey Gwen," Vortigern said, grinning.
Gwen
Gwen smiled and perched herself on the arm of Mordred's chair.
"So, you guys happy with the parts you got?"
Mordred and Vortigern
Vortigern beamed. "Are you kidding? I just hope no one thinks I got the role cos I'm sleeping with the director..."
"Anyone says anything like that, and they'll be paying a visit to the Beast," Mordred promised protectively.
"Yeah, actually. I think Tav could do a better Duke. Since that's basically him as him anyway..."
Gwen
"Well, you deserve it, Vort. Specially after all you've gone through this year."
Gwen let her hand run through Mordred's hair.
"And you'll be singing with Rebekah, and she's... have you heard her? I was listening the other day and she makes you feel... it's so... wow."
Gwen kissed Mordred's forehead.
"And you, you will be excellent at whatever you do."
Mordred and Octavian
"So everybody's happy then?" Octavian remarked from the doorway. "Honestly, Mordred, I had no idea..."
"Don't worry, Tav." Mordred smiled reassuringly. "I'm sure you'll do a great job."
"Yes, but that's not the point, is it? I didn't try out for it, and you did."
Gwen
"Yeah, you'll all do a good job."
Gwen grinned cheekily.
"And I will do an excellent job at keeping spirits up. So if anyone needs to be... perked up... they can come see me."
Mordred and Octavian
Mordred growled.
"Not bloody likely. They can go see Julie."
"Oh, that's not nice..." Octavian chuckled.
Gwen
Gwen kept her face innocent.
"So, will you see Julie too, Mordred? Or do I get to be the lucky one who keeps you up?"
She slid into his lap and ground her hips.
"And I'll keep you up if you ask me too."
The Mavericks
"Goddddd," Mordred hissed softly through his teeth.
"You're the only one for me, love."
Octavian coughed slightly as Vortigern squirmed uncomfortably.
"So, talked to Rebekah yet?" Octavian asked Vortigern.
"Not yet, but I intend to. If we're going to be performing together..."
Gwen
Gwen grinned as she ground herself again, pretending she was trying to get comfortable.
"Good, coz you're the only one for me too."
"Talked to Rebekah about what?" Rebekah asked as she stepped into the room.
Mordred and Vortigern
Mordred moaned quietly into her ear.
"Ah, about arranging some extra rehearsals for the two of us," Vortigern said, turning slightly to face her.
"Since we've got such large roles...I think we're gonna need them if we're going to perform in January."
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen grinned and turned her head to peck his cheek.
"Oui, I was just coming to see you about zat." Rebekah smiled. "We must see if our voices are compatible."
Vortigern and Octavian
"And we, of course, will have to do our own rehearsals, my dear Satine," Octavian drawled.
"I'm sure we can work out any problems." Vortigern smiled.
Rebekah and Gwen
"Oui, I am looking forward to working with all of you," Rebekah said, smiling.
"Oh, I'm so gross," Gwen muttered. "I'm such a bad girl. Bad Gwen. Stop thinking about sex."
"Oui, please."
"Sorry, Bek."
"It is not a problem, Gwen. But ah, please, try."
Mordred and Vortigern
"Bad, naughty girl," Mordred murmured into her ear, then pinched her ass.
Vortigern smiled. "This is going to be so much fun. I've already started working to design the sets."
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen squealed slightly and shifted him his lap again. "You're not exactly 'Mr Innocent' either, Wolf."
Rebekah nodded. "Oui! I have already learned to play 'Come What May' on my guitar." She gestured to the instrument. "This will be a lot of fun."
The Mavericks
"Yeah, true." Mordred bit down on her neck for a moment. "It's so much more fun the other way."
"I look forward to singing with you," Vortigern said.
"And I, acting with the both of you." Octavian grinned. "I get to play the bad guy...wonderful."
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen giggled, and reached back to hold one of his hands. She turned to whisper in his ear. "I can't wait until you're all healed, love."
"Oui, we will have lots of fun. I hope..." Rebekah paused. "I hope my two baby boys can come to see it." She shook her head. "Anyway, when would you like to start practicing, Vortigern?"
Mordred and Vortigern
"Me neither, love," Mordred murmured back. Oh, he really couldn't wait. He had a lot of revenge coming. And isn't pay back a bitch?
"Well, do you want to start today?" Vortigern asked. "It is Sunday, and there are no classes..."
"Actually, I have one after lunch," Mordred said.
"That's only because you're stupid enough to show Scot you know how an engine's put together..."
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen smiled. He had a class hey? Excellent.
"Well, I suppose Mordred could come find us, after lunch?" Rebekah said.
"Ah, make that later tonight," Gwen grinned.
Vortigern and Octavian
Vortigern shook his head slightly.
"We can practice some of the duets though," he said to Rebekah.
"Maybe after lunch?"
"I've got band practice today," Octavian said. "But, the acting can wait, I think. The singing's going to be harder..."
Rebekah
"Ah, maybe. I have not heard you sing yet," Rebekah said to Octavian, and then turned to Vortigern. "But you... you sing very well. From the heart, and I can see that, I can feel what you feel when you sing, and that's a gift that cannot be taught."
Vortigern and Mordred
Vortigern looked embarrassed.
"Thanks..."
"Don't compliment him," Mordred advised. "He doesn't believe it anyway..."
"Shut up, Mordred," Vortigern said. "So, we'll meet after lunch?"
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah smiled.
"I will meet you in the auditorium, oui?"
She stood and lifted her guitar over her shoulder.
"I shall see you then."
Gwen got up off Mordred's lap.
"Come on, darling, let's go get lunch."
Oh she had plans for him after lunch.
Vortigern
"Yeah, sounds great." Vortigern smiled at her. "I'm looking forward to it."
They all went their various ways.
