angleterre[ If getting up this morning, you thought that you might have a great day blessed with the many smiling faces of the residents of Fortuna, you were sorely, sorely mistaken. In fact, as a scowling man appears on the screen, it might occur to you to shut off your communicator before you get a wall of negativity dropped on you. ]
[ If you are one of the less fortunate few that has yet to be introduced to this one A. Kirkland, then today you will be treated to a special show, courtesy of the United Kingdom of Negative Nancys himself. ]
I don't like this place.
[ Shifting the communicator, Arthur glances behind him, then back down at the screen, still continuing to frown. ]
I've been wandering the outskirts for, God, I'm not even sure how long, and may I tell you something, dear friends? There is nothing to be found. Nothing. Bleed me if I know what attacked me the last time I went wandering, but this time, it was just a leisurely stroll on another bloody planet, that's what it was.
[ He swallows and rubs his eyes, sighing before adjusting the communicator so it is face level with him, attempting to regain an air of professionalism about him. ]
Anyway. Not what I intended to use this network for. My intentions are quite different actually; I wish to put on a play, perhaps the raise the spirits of my fellow inmates. If anyone would be interested in acting, making the sets, lighting, production or even securing a location, I would be most obliged. I have a copy of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and I'd be happy to transcribe it onto the commmunicators and send all who are interested a copy.
[ As the scowl tugs at the corners of his lips, he nods at the communicator: ] Thank you for your time, as always. [ --Before clicking it off. ]

Date: 2012-01-04 11:53 pm (UTC)... But a play? Really? [S-she doesn't sound very tempted at all!!]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:01 am (UTC)Yes, really. The play I left at your flat; it's still there, isn't it? If not, I did just get another one so. . .
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:03 am (UTC)No, it's still here. Were you thinking of a full production or something more simple?

Date: 2012-01-05 12:11 am (UTC)... Any thoughts on casting so far? [So subtle!]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:18 am (UTC)Eerr, yes actually. Just uem, just one person thus far. I think I might have either a Nick Bottom or a Oberon. Would you be interested in participating, Miss Rosemary?

Date: 2012-01-05 12:26 am (UTC)[ This is actually narcissism, believe it or not, and not chivalry. But sshhh, take the compliment Rosemary. ]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:32 am (UTC)Well, of course. I think I would do well enough, thank you, dear.

I'm not sure about acting I've never done that before.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:16 am (UTC)[ With a slight smile. ]
Sewing would be wonderful. Do you know anything about costume design? If not, I'm sure you could come up with something interesting. Most of the costumes are faerie folk anyway.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:19 am (UTC)[ She laughs a bit. ]
Well I did sew the clothing I'm wearing.
[ Hence the uniform. ]
I'm sure I can come up with something, just tell me what you want and I'll try to finish a sample or something.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:22 am (UTC)[ With a wave of the hand/ ] Well, if you could put together a faerie Queen's costume, I would be most appreciative.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:25 am (UTC)Any colors in mind or can I just choose?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:30 am (UTC)Regardless, I shall find a variety of fabric for you to choose from. Perhaps green and gold? That's rather faerie-like.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:33 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:37 am (UTC)I see. I shall attempt to locate a vast array of fabric then, so that you may have many shades to choose from.
[ Because he sure as Hell can't do it. ]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:59 am (UTC)[ Well at least she can handle that much. ]
Say may I ask your name? After all it looks like we'll be seeing each other a lot.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 01:01 am (UTC)O-oh yes, um, well, yes, [ Clearing his throat: ] My name is Arthur Kirkland. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, miss . . . ?

Date: 2012-01-05 12:08 am (UTC)A play sounds like a great idea. Everyone needs a little entertainment now and again; I'll help you with anything that you would like.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 12:12 am (UTC)Wonderful. Do you have anything specific to offer to the production or shall I just draft you into a role?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 02:46 am (UTC)I'm afraid I'm not quite as skilled at production as Hong Kong is, though I'm not bad at hosting things. Perhaps a narrator?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-05 01:18 am (UTC)[Okay, now that's enough. Ed allows himself a fleeting moment of boyhood and wrinkles his nose in distaste- ew, Shakespeare. But then there's a smirk ghosting on his lips and his expression changes. A play was a good idea to "raise the spirits", sure.] And has anyone volunteered yet?

Date: 2012-01-05 11:25 pm (UTC)Right on! See, this is why we me make a great team! [ the unspoken words are "because you come up with ideas and I make them better" ] I've got a lot of theater in me, as ya know, so I'm sure a collaborative play ain't gonna be anything but awesome. And I've got some new stuff on the stage in recent years so I've got some pretty good ideas under my belt. I also saw that movie The Producers so I feel like I've got all the experience I need.
And, if ya don't already have a cast in mind, I've always been complimented for my acting skills. Hint hint.
