"Like desk chairs have? Will that hold for something that big?"

[tauborn]

"I think something that big is harder to get moving than it is to keep it still. Our stage is level so I don't imagine our ship will just roll all over the place. Honestly, if we have someone available to put in a wedge or two to block the wheels, then we don't even need actual brakes."

[shiromadoushi]

"Aaa-- true! Or even just put blocks up where we want it to stop, then we'd only need one to keep it from moving back too far!"

[tauborn]

"Exactly." He grins. "And if you need any more help figuring out how things can work, Sugata has more experience than I do."

[shiromadoushi]

"Got it! Is he going to be on crew or acting? Or both?"

[tauborn]

"He's the most talented actor I've ever seen."

Sugata could fool just about anyone.

[shiromadoushi]

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeh, really?"

[tauborn]

Saying something along the lines of "he could even make his best friends believe he's betrayed them" was probably not the best way to go about explaining Sugata's talents, so he'll settle for something else.

"Yep. He became really popular in middle school after doing a one act or something. I wish I'd gotten to see it."

[shiromadoushi]

Probably not, yeah.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeh, amazing! So he's sort of a pro in the making, huh?"

[tauborn]

"Perhaps." He's pretty sure Sugata never actually considered life beyond the island, but he really could see his best friend being a famous actor in a big city somewhere. Especially if he married Wako and she became a famous idol. "But the rest of us might be the same, right? Pros in the making?"

[shiromadoushi]

"Aaa-- maybe you and the others, but..." Bakura rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

[tauborn]

"You, too, of course." And then he remembers something.

"Speaking of which, I was wondering if I could get you to play another role. We still need someone for Miracle Max--it's only one short scene and I think you'd be perfect."

Mizuno will probably play Miracle Max's wife. See what I did there?

[shiromadoushi]

"Eh? The old miracle worker man?" Bakura blinked. He had to still make that set.... "Un... I could do that... it's only like... 10 lines or so, right?"

[tauborn]

Takuto nods. "Well, more like 25, but most of the lines are very short and should be really easy to memorize." There are really only one or two key points that he has to get right, though. "I'm sure you can do it."

[shiromadoushi]

"Aaa--- if you're sure...." Bakura rubbed the back of his neck. He was a touch nervous at playing a real part, to be honest... Voicing minis and actually acting in front of people were totally different things! But... if Takuto thought he could do it...

[tauborn]

Takuto was confident Bakura could do it.

"You'll be great. I was hoping we wouldn't have to cut that scene out, but I think we've finally got enough people." It was as if Starfish Apocalypse was actually functional or something.

[shiromadoushi]

"You have someone for the old woman as well, then? Or are you just cutting her part?"

[tauborn]

"Mizuno-chan's joining drama club. She joined the club Sugata and I used to be a part of for a little while."

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded. "Double casting her with Pufferfish, then?"

[tauborn]

He couldn't do anything but wince a little at that.

"Actually, Sugata's playing Pufferfish. It's a huge part to learn and our original premier date is supposed to be in June, so...."

Please don't ask him how he feels about having Sugata as his True Love. Please.

[shiromadoushi]

Blink. Blink blink.

"But...." Another blink. "He's okay with that?"

Ya know. With the whole playing the part of a girl thing.

The whole "true love" thing doesn't even occur because hey, it's just a play, right?

[tauborn]

Takuto nodded. "The truth is he volunteered for it and drama club doesn't really have many other options...."

[shiromadoushi]

"Aa-- un, I guess that's so! Pretty big thing to take on, especially so far in!"

[tauborn]

"Yeah, but he said he was up for it." He shrugged. Though it was true that Sugata might be the only one who could really pull it off.

[shiromadoushi]

"Then I'm sure it'll be all right!" Bakura assured with a warm smile.
