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.

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.

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*

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

[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.

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.

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.

Color me possessed.

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

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.

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.

[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?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

No possession for me, si vous plait. :)

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.

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.
