[ The door leads to a room with a big whiteboard and several colored dry-erase markers (your position colors, interestingly!) waiting for you. In permanent ink the whiteboard is divided into two sides: the left says "BATTLE PLAN" and the right says "VOTING". Under "BATTLE PLAN", there's a helpful quote of, "HOW DO WE GET THE CROWD TO LOVE US?"

Well. That's the million dollar question, isn't it?

There are fold-up chairs all around as well as a table, as if this is a Very Important Meeting. In the corner there's a crate, full of things that you might . . . need? No real weapons are inside of the crate, but if you root around, you can pretty much find anything or a cardboard version of everything - like there's no food there but you could totally get a cardboard burger.

You can leave the room if you want to, to mingle with other people. ]

....... are we supposed to be on theme? Are we just going to go out there and cry again?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[rollwillpowercheck]

I don't know... but I don't really want to have to fall back on crying.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

We might, ah, need more than that...

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[rollwillpowercheck]

Yeah, I don’t think it would be that persuasive.

Yeah... it's hard if we don't have anything to cry about--

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

Unless... we give ourselves something, and the audience, to cry about.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

Like, ah, some kind of story?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

Like a play! [ actually now that he says it out loud he's getting excited, ] Something that's a real sob story... like Romeo and Juliet, or Hamlet!

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

...like, ah, what?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

... Romeo and Juliet? You know... "what light in yonder window breaks"?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

[completely looks blank] I'm, ah, sorry, that isn't familiar at all.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

... seriously? [ he doesn't sound upset just. baffled. where are you FROM. ] Well I guess that's not a problem as long as we have a script...

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

I'm, ah, sorry. [will go see if there are any scripts in the crate. dig dig dig. pulls out some scripts]

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[rollwillpowercheck]

Going straight to the Shakespearean tragedies, huh?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

Well, we are SensitIV. We're not really pleasing the fans if we're not crying right?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[rollwillpowercheck]

I guess. What scenes did you have in mind?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

The most obvious would be when Romeo and Juliet die together. .... though that's probably been overdone. There's Mercutio's death, Ophelia's scene in Hamlet, ... pretty much all of Titus Andronicus but that might be a bit much.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[rollwillpowercheck]

Wow, you’re actually super into this kind of thing!

[it’s cute]

It has to be a scene that has enough parts... or, I don’t know, some of us could Greek chorus in the back?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

What sort of performance are you thinking of?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

A tragedy! Don't you think that would fit us best? I wonder if they have costumes we can borrow.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

I'm sure - what sort of costume should we be getting?

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

Well that depends on what play we're putting on. ..... but I want a cape.

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

A cape would be cool!

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

A cape would be so cool!

Re: BATTLE PLAN - PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

Are there many plays with capes?
