Mission 28 [Voice]

[redhairedknight]

[After a conversation with Cloche, Erza's decided to take some initiative with the drama group and try to find some material for them to work with. Cloche had suggested adapting legends from other worlds, which sounded like it would be entertaining, so she's turned to the journals for suggestions.]

Just a quick question - does anyone have a legend from their world that they'd like to see performed on-stage? I am a member of Luceti's drama club [it feels good just to say that - Erza's always been enthusiastic about acting, even if her stage-fright tends to result in rather disastrous performances], and we're planning to put on a play at some point. I simply figured that we should see what sort of plays people would want to see. [At any rate, it would certainly help to lighten the mood - most of the messages over the journal as of late have been announcements of people being sent home.] Feel free to suggest any legends or stories that you would wish to see - we'll be sure to take them into account.

I didn't know we had a drama club!

[Voice]

[redhairedknight]

That's understandable - it's still fairly small. Are you interested in that sort of thing?

[seakingbait]

It certainly seems like fun. But um... I'm not sure if I'd be any good.

[redhairedknight]

It's okay - even if you aren't sure about acting, there are plenty of other jobs. Set design, costumes, music... Or you could come and watch once we've got everything ready - we would appreciate the support.

[seakingbait]

Oh! Costumes would be great! It would certainly give my boutique some more business. [She chuckles happily.]

[redhairedknight]

Oh? Where is that? [...That probably didn't help matters, but Erza honestly didn't know, and she wanted to help out (plus, getting some new clothes wouldn't hurt).]

[seakingbait]

It's currently in House 45, since the building was empty. But... I'd like to move out soon and leave the house open to people who want to move in.

[redhairedknight]

Mind if I stop by some time? I'd like to see what you have to offer. [Plus, she's technically doing this for the drama group!]

[seakingbait]

Most of my stuff is made-to-order, but I'd love to show you a few of my things!

[Giggle.] Maybe I can sit in on one of your rehearsals some time.

[redhairedknight]

Sounds good - whenever you have the time, at least.

I doubt anyone would have a problem with that. We've got a long way to go, though; even if we found a play, I'm not sure if we could make do with four or five actors.

[seakingbait]

Four or five...? That's so few!

[She suddenly feels bad about hesitating to join.]

[redhairedknight]

Yes - we can probably work with it for smaller plays, but we might not be able to put on some plays that people want. [Here, she smirks.] Though we've got plenty of time to raise interest before we perform, so there's no need to worry. [She's certainly confident, at least - she figures that it will all work out somehow.]

[seakingbait]

Oh wow. And it's been so long since I've even seen a play. If there's anything I can do...

[redhairedknight]

Helping out with costumes would be more than enough, if you're okay with doing that.
