Forum Curses: The Second Act

Oops

Rehearsal 2

From an NPC’s Perspective


The second rehearsal was going… better than the first. Okay, so the first was a disaster, this was also a disaster but at least other than a minor hiccup with the power and a burst of unusual weather, they were doing fine. The kid with the water powers set up the props without Jane noticing, which of course made Lilly laugh to herself.
One of the crew members opened their mouth as if to say something, before the power turned itself back on. They seemed disappointed with this.
She couldn’t remember his name, Micah was it? Probably not. It didn’t matter.

Oh, and the young one who played Duncan. Theodore was it? He seemed to be quiet as always, keeping watch on her from the back of the room, script on his lap.

Surely he couldn’t be suspicious of her…

That might have to change.

She snuck up behind him.

“What you reading?”

He jumped a bit, Lilly laughed again. “Hi Duncan… remembering your lines?”

“LILLY!” Jane shouted.

“Oh, I better go. The raven himself is hoarse…”

“WHY IS THE FLOOR DAMAGED?”
“The floor?” She frowned.

“YES!”
Gesturing downwards to a patch on the stage, where the wooden panelling had been dented inwards. It clearly looked like a few intentional holes.

The door swung inwards, and Dr. Nicholas Mahn, chemistry teacher, looked into the auditorium. “Everything alright here? I heard shouting.
“We’re fine!” Lilly said, waving.

He left with a nod, closing the door with a click behind him.

“Is it just me Jane or do these marks look a bit like…”
“Hooves.”

Apolo finally got the lights right. “YES LADS!” he belted, before accidentally creating a singularity in the middle of the stage.
“Oh, no- JANE HELP!” Apolo yelled. Ladnas looked up and rolled his eyes.
“Apolo Caelum, back at it again,” he laughed.
“I’m still struggling to control it, alright?” Apolo snapped.

Sorry guys everyone is having a few bad dreams and the resident nightmare can’t stop making polls.

I still can’t tell if you’re telling typ to make these polls or not

Perhaps you’re not supposed to

Also spoiler alert everyone

Levi needs another volunteer. On the table this time is a random INT advantage with a downside of the chance of a random DEF disadvantage. If nobody volunteers the wheel will.

what is this volunteer for?

anyways, I volunteer

no one volunteers and then lucky gets kidnapped in the middle of the night again

I think you need to have a tracker put onto you, but not told where so your luck doesn’t act up

You need to be in the tournament it’s for the challenger fight

IM NOT GETTING KIDNAPPED!!! :tada:

i volunteeerrrrr

do you now

Update on the theater for the second rehearsal:

Apparently the Janitors couldn’t clean up the random large ink puddle in the theater, so now there’s just a permanent blue stain in the room.

Jane will go insane

i’ll volunteer

I would join but Lily beated me up
