There were loud bustling noises of members moving around in haste. Some carrying large bulky items while others had their arms full by stacks of clothing. One would wonder what was going on in the fierce guild of Lion's Pride to make them into action.
"All right guys! The show is in one month! We have to get all the props organized! And can I have all the people interest in acting for the show in the common room!"
Oscar yelled at there was a chorus of cheer, as the members kept moving. Yes a show. Prontera was holding a festival in celebration of King Tristen. Lion's Pride of course had to put up some kind of entertainment and with a majority vote they decided they were going to do a play. Of course this was mandatory for all guild captains and a certain female. Along with several other members and a special guest that we have met recently.
Yes Julian Douglas and Shinryu. Who else would it be?
Now all of the participating members were all gathered in one room with Griever, Yue and Sir Xeno standing in front of a chalkboard covered in a white sheet which was suppose to figure out who was acting what.
"Ok the story of the play is very simple. Does everyone know 'Sleeping Beauty?" The navy haired assassin asked as all of them nodded their head.
"Well it's similar to that story. Except there's going to be a evil sorcerer/sorceress, no dragons. Instead of three fairies (since all them are mostly guys) there's going to be three magicians. Now we all managed to put a decent part for each of you…" Yue said only to be interrupted by Sir Xeno.
"Correction, YOU were the one who arranged all of the parts."
Once said everyone shifted uncomfortably knowing Yue's crazy sense of humor. The air headed priest just laughed.
"Don't worry everyone has a perfect role!"
"Tell me why am I in this again?" Shinryu asked holding his head.
"Because the preparation for troops to be sent will at least take two month." The scholar replied next to him.
"ANYWAY! Here are the roles!" Yue shouted pulling off the sheet from the chalkboard.
Roles:
Prince: Shinryu (Member:?!)
Princess: Julian (A/N: Come on you all saw that coming!)
Prince right hand knight: Griever ((A/N: Yes I know no such thing exists but I had to make a part for him))
Magician Flir: Keiki
Magician Fye: Camus
Magician Mekil: Richard
Evil Sorcerer: Xeonhart (Members: HAHAHA!!)
King: Sir Xeno
Queen: Oscar (Member:…what?)
Knight 1: Orpheus
Knight 2: Edward
Lights and effects: Eden
Prop mover: Kai
Narrator: Yue
Rest: Minions of the socerer
"……………"
There was a moment of silence before an uproar erupted in the common room.
"Why is HE the Prince?! Can't I be one?!" Griever yelled.
"……why did you put me as the evil sorcerer" The high wizard said with sparks of electricity cracking dangerously around his hand. The bunny-eared priest, sensing the danger, immediately began to think of a plausible excuse.
"Uh well I thought Julian would make a very…good princess! And for Shinryu…well I heard guys who wear masks are considered popular these days!! And Xeonhart will be able to use magic that's not that powerful in strength but put an excellent visual effect! I mean you can make shadows come up and make thunder crack above the stage!!!"
"But wouldn't it look weird for Shinryu to be the prince? I mean I don't think the alarm mask is very…popular?" Camus piped up as Yue gave a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry we can cover that with a opera mask! I mean it's better than the alarm mask."
"I don't know whether to take that as an offence or compliment…" Shinryu said quietly not particularly happy being stuck in a prince role.
"Okay let's do a quick run through! Everyone got their scripts?!" Yue changed the subject while Camus passed out paper books to the rest of the members in the group. Most of them mumbling or speaking quietly to themselves.
"Okay! Scene one!"
Scene One
Cast: Yue, Sir Xeno, Oscar, and extras.
"In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day."
Yue began his narration soon to be drowned by the snickers and giggling from the other casts, which made him look at them in a confused expression.
"What?"
Camus bursted out laughing. "I'm sorry! I just can't take it seriously when they're holding a pillow as a baby!"
The rest of the crew roared in laughter as Oscar and Sir Xeno stood in the middle flustered.
"Cut!!"
Scene two
Cast: Griever, Keiki, Camus, and Richard
"The most honored and exalted Excellencies, the three good magicians. Magician Flir, magician Mekil, and magician Fye." The navy haired assassin said sounding to try most civil as possible to Sir Xeno. (which was hard since he and Sir Xeno weren't exactly on good terms)
"Each of us the child may bless with a single gift. No more, no less. My gift shall be the gift of beauty." Keiki said as he stepped forwards. There was a long silence as the scholar nudged Richard.
"Your part Richard!"
"………………"
"? What's the matter?"
"I can't read my own writing."
Another roar of laughter erupted the non-acting group.
"CUT!! Richard! I expected better from you!"
"Well if you haven't spilled your grape juice all over the script I wouldn't have to rewrite it!"
Scene two take two
"The most honored and exalted Excellencies, the three good magicians. Magician Flir, magician Mekil, and magician Fye-OW GOD F DAMN IT!! WHO PUT THIS CHAIR HERE?!"
"Oh that was me! My bad?" Camus said as he put on an innocent smile and waved at the assassin cross currently nursing his toe. Griever said nothing but glared at the acolyte with one his I'm-going-to-kill-you looks.
"Come on Griever! It's not his fault he ACCIDENTALLY put a chair where you would CLEARLY go through on PURPOSE!"
The high priest went into the acolyte's defense.
Assassin Cross vs. Cute acolyte and High Priest
Cute acolyte wins!
"I swear one of these days I'll get them…" Griever muttered wondering how corrupted the duo can be.
Scene three
Cast: Keiki, Camus, Richard, Xeonhart.
"It's the evil Sorcerer!" Keiki shouted as Xeonhart stood there with a very bored expression.
"What does he want here?" Camus said pointing an accusing finger at the high wizard.
"Probably to blow up the whole place." Richard nonchalantly before realizing his mistake. "Aw crap…"
"Cut! Richard! Keep with the script no matter HOW TRUE IT IS!" Yue shouted, as he said that the rest of the members around him moved back far away from the high priest. A faint red glow of aura began to surround Xeonhart……
"Meteor Storm."
BOOM!!!
Scene three take two
"It's the evil Sorcerer!" Keiki shouted pointing at the……blank spot?
"Wha? Where's Xeonhart?" the acolyte asked looking over at Richard who only jerking his thumb behind him.
"Outside." The priest simply responded as if on cue a loud noise of eruption was heard.
"FIREBOLT! FIREBOLT! FIREBOLT!! THUNDERSTORM!!"
"Ow! Not the ears!! AHH MY BUTTS ON FIRE!!!!!"
An all too similar voices of a high priest and high wizard could be heard outside as everyone else sweat dropped.
"When is this play ever going to finish…" Shinryu sighed as he waited for his turn to come up.
……after practice……
"High Priest Yue you smell like charcoal."
"Well Camus if it wasn't SOMEONE'S fault I wouldn't smell like this!!"
"……perhaps it was better to cast Lord Of Vermillion…"
"Eep! No it fine!!"
"……Do you think the play will go according to plan Roy?"
"Well……"
"STOP IT!! I DON'T WANT TO WEAR THE DRESS!!" (we all know who that is)
"……probably not Oscar. Probably not."
