MSND Update

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Hi. Sorry for the harshish phrasing there.

At this point in time, we don't know who wants to be possessed and who doesn't, and we *really* need to know on an OOC level about these things.

Additionally, nearly all of our extras - ninja, Chuck Norris, etc., have not shown up to rehearsal, and we're thinking of dropping the entire concept since we've lost players there and it's really almost not worth it.

But anyway, on the possession note: Please let us know in this post if you want your character to be possessed by a fairy. If you don't, you *will not* be allowed to partake in this plot when it comes into play. Also, please let us know if you have an idea for what the fairy will make you do. Will you be possessed by a childlike sprite? Will your fairy have relationships with fairies in other characters? Etc. Remember, YOU are running these guys. So keep it reasonable, and be creative!

Other random points:

We will be slowplaying this starting Friday morning and going through Saturday night, since it's an OMGLONG play. And on that note - we REALLY can't do the entire play. Because OMGLONG. So please pick your favorite parts of scenes, and coordinate with the actors in those scenes to see what you want in. Favorite speeches, the play-within-a-play, Titania macking on the ass head, etc.

Am I forgetting anything? Any thoughts? Questions? Pie?

ETA, BECAUSE I DID FORGET SOMETHING OMG: Here is a nice, concise outline of the play, so you can choose scenes while looking at all of them in a shiny, shiny format.

I'm totally willing to be possessed and I think that the court fairies should all have similar fairy possessions. I don't know what that would be... but I'm willing to play whatever the others are interested in playing.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Um, I agree with every single thing you've said. :D *hopes someone else has an idea for the fairies*

[sooo_cute]

Quinn will not be possessed, but will be pretending she is. What she does will be based around whatever those around her do. Cuz I like improv. *nods*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

*already had you down because ded of laff ahahaha*

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to have Cal get possessed, although I don't know by what kind of fairy.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Does not point out that dating Angel means Cal's technically already possessed by a fairy

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Good idea, because that's how things like this (http://www.fairywingsandthings.com/wingpics/rosepixie7.jpg) end up in his wardrobe.

[fh_jackass]

Depends if Callisto is possessed, since Logan/Cal as Demetrius/Helena has enough explosive possibility without adding magic.

Um. So, I kind of don't have a definite answer. I'm willing to be possessed or not, depending what makes things more plotty fun.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Well, I won't be heartbroken if Cal doesn't get possessed, so if you think it'll be more traumatising fun, for them not to be, I'm cool with that.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Oops! Sorry I didn't respond in the previous post. I'm totally willing for Blair to be possessed...although the creative side of my brain is failing on what sort of fairy.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

That's fine. We can assign you one, if you'd like. :)

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go for it!

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

I think a war-like one would be the funniest for Blair, but that's me.

[nadiathesaint]

seconded!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

omg yes :)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's possessed by Titania; and the Queen of the Fairies is pretty much playing herself, only with attitude. And possibly macking on the characters of Bottom and Oberon with much enthusiasm, at different points.

[soldtoarmenians]

*is totally willing to be fairymodded, zomg* ;-)

Xander = fairy yes, and I think the tentative stuff we came up with is that maybe Bottom's fairy is one of Titania's regular 'I'm pissed at my husband' flingination standbys?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Yup! Hehehehe! And that would be perfect for this!

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Color me possessed.

Mmmm. Let me think about what kind of posession. I'll let you know by tomorrow, definitely.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia is possessed . . . by a lobster fairy! and no one notices!

No, not really. But yes on possessed. I'm thinking for Hermia, hmmmm, a child like fairy might be fun? Like, two year old type kid or something.

Or a sarcastic middle aged fairy.

[nadiathesaint]

Oh, yeah, and either way? The fairy might have to make Nadia wander away from the play for awhile, as I have an actual rehearsal (tech in) on Saturday, that will be eating most of my day.

[chasingangela]

We're doing SP starting tomorrow morning, so you should be able to get in most of Hermia's lines.

I hope.

[nadiathesaint]

That'd be nice.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

No, not possesed. Doesn't fit with either character or character played and will cause me a larger migraine than I already have. (That's possible?)

I would like to do the first scene since that's pretty mucht the only one Alanna is in.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee will be possessed by Oberon for the entirity of the play. He will become Lee at curtain call.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Probably easier to just drop Kawalsky's role (the drunken pirate) from the play.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am more then okay with Pippi being possessed.

I'm not sure about what type of fairy should posses her, but I think one that's rather the opposite of who she is would be a good start.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Also? Pippi is only in the very first scene, and is in the "audience" for the play within a play. So those are the only actual scenes I'm really concerned about.

If we could improve something short where she lays down the law to her new hubby, possibly with some kind of Punk Rock musical number? That would be lovely. The play is already long enough however, and I understand if people aren't entirely hot on the idea.

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hammie's in the same sort of magic-free first and last acts of the play, but hey, if Pippi's possessed by a fairy, then I'm fine with having Hamlet possessed by one too. ^-^ Preferably the cheeriest, perkiest, happy-go-luckiest fairy out there. Or something like that.

And if you're going for a laying down the law thing, maybe we could do a duet instead? They're written as a typical 16th century duke and a gentlelady, but these are still supposed to be a minotaur-slaying hero and an Amazon.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Totally.

[sea-incarnadine.livejournal.com]

And Macbeth is in the same boat as Hamlet... Actually, he's in the same scenes as Hamlet. But if there are fairy posessions, I'd love to be involved. I haven't had my fill of the wee folk just yet. Bwaha.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

If we could improve something short where she lays down the law to her new hubby, possibly with some kind of Punk Rock musical number?

I love that idea, but I'm not sure I see it working time-wise. Let's see how we're doing on the play as of Saturday afternoon.

If Pippi wants to write and rehearse something, though, I have no problem with it.

Sorry.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

I'll get in touch with Hamlet about it. I think we're actually going to make it a Duet instead.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

That works. Thanks.

[swerval_zero]

Zero will be possessed by Puck. So no one may notice the difference.

There will probably be a level of interaction between Zero and Puck while he's possessing her, is that okay?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

THAT IS SO VERY OKAY OMG. *loves*

[swerval_zero]

Mwahaha. Mine is an evil laugh.

I need a Puck icon. With, like, antennae or something.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

No possession for me, si vous plait. :)

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

I'm more than happy to have Lana possessed by a fairy. Any typed of a fairy. Though it might be funny if it was a bit of an oversexed fairy since that's so unlike Lana. ;)

As for scenes... She doesn't have much to say or do in either the fairy scenes or the 'play within a play' scenes, so I'm happy to go along with whatever the bigger characters want.

And just a note. Shep Mun is still dealing with Dad health issues so I'm not sure that she'll see this or what her availability will be for a bit.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

And as for scenes: Titania only has three, really, and I'd like to do all of them, since one is the fight with Oberon-Lee, one is the cuddling up to Xander, and the middle one is the whole "oh, I'm in love with you" silliness. But if you *have* to cut one, the middle one is probably the one to cut.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All of the scenes are in, but we cut some lines for length because we cut everyone's. Sorry.

(Hey, do you want to do anything with Titania/Dream while she's around?)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

It's fine, really. You cut some of the incredibly long ones anyway, and I'm glad for that!

And yes, definitely! I can't see her passing the chance up. :>

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Cool! Will you be around tonight to chat about the specifics?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Yup, I'll be on after 8pm EST. *grins*
