SO WITHOUT MAKING YOU GUYS WAIT LONGER, LETS START THE STORY!
- CH 2 -
The authors have pulled a (or 2 for some people *cough Hiramaru* ) weeks full of all nighter without even going out from their offices in order to practice and prepare for the play. Finally only 1 month left until the New Year Party and all the authors have agree to spend their time fully on this play once every 3 days. Since event though all the plots are done and what's left just need to be done by their assistances, they still are needed.
1st meeting for the play 30 days to the party
"Thank you guys for coming and for the hard works in the past weeks! We're really grateful for the help!" Takagi begins the meeting. While his partner Mashiro just nodding trusting every words of Takagi.
"This is a new experience for me and it will be suuuppperrr fun!" said Niizuma.
"yup, we all agree on doing this and stop saying thank you thank you all the time!" Fukuda said.
"So lets start deciding the roles, since we are limited in number of people lets make a simple one.. hmm lets see what are the roles needed here.." Takagi said while pulling out his notebook.
"WAIT! I HAVE DONE THE SCRIPT! CALL ME SCRIPT WRITER-SAMA!" Yells Eiji.
"What?!" The other authors yell together
"Yup! I have too much time so I wrote the script" Eiji says while spinning in his seat.
"as expected of the genius mangaka" thought the others
"ehm.. well then, we got the script done. So Eiji be the Director? Since he knows how the plot goes and how should it be done" says Takagi.
The authors nod in unison, no one actually really wants a specific role in this play so they'll agree on any role given, except for the Genius Eiji who is super happy knowing that he will be the director in addition to his role as script writer.
"Ehem! Attention please! So we will have 9 characters here but since we only have 5 actors here and since Ashirogi Muto sensei play the lead roles the other 3 needs to play more than 1 character. Understand?!" Said Eiji standing on his chair.
"all right" the others said in unison.
"then can the props be your responsibility Fukuda? You're good at modificating your bike so I guess you're good with your hands and of course we all gonna helps but you need to be the leader" Said Takagi which replied by a nod from Fukuda.
"Who can takes care of the costume?" Takagi asks.
"Well.." the others stare at a certain someone called Hiramaru making him shivers
"alright alright I'll help with the costume." Hiramaru gives up.
The meeting that day finalized who in charge of what in the play, which results in the following:
Moritaka Mashiro: Juliet
Akito Takagi: Romeo
Eiji Niizuma: Director, Script Writer, Nurse, Balthasar, Apothecary
Shinta Fukuda: Props Director, Tybalt and Postman.
Kazuya Hiramaru: Costume Director, Mercutio, Paris.
If you are unfamiliar with the name of the characters and what are they doing in the play. The following are the super simple summary of that:
1. Juliet Capulet
2. Romeo Montague
3. Mercutio: Romeo's friend that got killed by Tybalt
4. Tybalt: Juliet's cousin killed by Romeo
5. Nurse: Juliet's Best friend
6. Postman: who sends message about Juliet fake death to Romeo
7. Paris: wants to marry Juliet
8. Balthasar: Romeo's servant who tells Romeo about Juliet death
9. Apothecary: the one who sells Juliet the medicine.
2nd meeting of the play 27 days to the party
"So as we got the script and our roles ready on the 1st meeting, lets start practicing the first half part of the play" Begins Takagi
"YUP! LETS START! LETS START!" Eiji answers while jumping up and down. He then sits on the side of the room, while holding his script.
"Come on! Every one! Move! Lets start from the beginning where Juliet is having a party in his home. Other than Juliet, Tybalt, Paris and the nurse, go out from the set!" Yells Eiji.
"Wait! The nurse is me! so I'll stand there. Go to your own place guys!" Yells Eiji again.
Everyone moves according to their director's instruction and their practice finally starts with Tybalt and Paris talking about the Montagues while Juliet and her nurse chat with each other about the boring party. Juliet then discover this late young men entering her dance hall and since it is a masquerade party she doesn't know who this late young man is and she asks her nurse about it which the nurse doesn't know the identity of that questioned young man and they decided to walk nearer to that young man in question just close enough to watch him from the side of the room.
The young man seems to discover that someone in this party watches him so he wants to trap his stalker to shows himself. Warily he takes a cup of drink and slowly walks to the empty balcony far from the dance hall and he notices his stalkers are following him. he got a smile on his face thinking he is successful in luring his stalker but still carefully walks to the balcony since he will be in a very dangerous position if he got discovered by the Capulets. He spent the last 3 minutes staring outside from the balcony doing nothing else. When he feel that his stalker finally gives up watching him and turns around leaving him, he turned around fastly and grab the hand of his stalker that startled him. he grabs his or in this case her hand without thinking first so he got shocked when he knows his stalker is a… lady! He then let go of her hand, and awkwardly begins an introduction.
"I.. I am sorry for behaving rudely, it just that I thought someone is following me" Takagi said
"Ehm.. no it is my fault because I think I never see you before. May I know your name?" Mashiro replies.
"my name is Rome.." before Takagi finished his sentence Eiji yells "Stop Stop! You are not supposed to mention your name here or else Romeo will be dead. If you don't remember it, you can read the script. It is impossible to remember all the script after all this is only our first practice." Says Eiji.
"Whoa! Eiji acts normal for once guys! What has gotten into you!?" Fukuda said
"ckckck don't call me Eiji now, my actor. Call me Director! And of course Director needs to be serious. Hmmph!" Says Eiji rolling his script into a tube.
"okayyy Director~~" says Takagi.
And like that they finished practicing on the first half of the play after 4 hours since all of the actors haven't remember their lines yet and Mashiro still trying to get out of his Juliet role and gives it to Eiji wasting 30 mins of their practice time to convince him to be the Juliet.
The next 1 hour are used to measure their body size so they can make the costume and the rest of the day is filled by them making the props. While the bigger props are done by Fukuda and his assistance in his office, but there are still sooo soooo sooo many smaller props to be done and the paint job in addition to that. The 2nd meeting is done.
