MSND Update

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.

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.

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.

Totally.

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.

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.

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

That works. Thanks.
