Monologue

"Stop trying to steal my spotlight," Ember snapped at her co-star after rehearsal, cornering him behind the college theatre.

The kid they'd picked for the male lead wasn't much to look at - pale, grayish skin, red-rimmed eyes, and a plain face still half-hidden behind the broken white mask (damn his quirky method acting), but despite his overall forgettable appearance, he still had the gall to smirk and murmur, "I believe it's called Phantom of the Opera, not Christine of the Opera - or am I wrong?"

"The play might be named after your character," Ember hissed, throwing her blue-dyed hair over her shoulder with a flourish; "…but we both know that in the end, they'll remember my name."

Kudos to Currently-Lurking for suggesting the AU, these two characters needed a good setting to wrestle each other for attention. Don't know what Amorpho's human name would be in this AU - but leaving him anonymous seems fitting.
