♕ |[5]| She soared--and I awoke, struggling in vain to follow.

Impossible really doesn't have much meaning here, does it? Walking through other people's dreams was amazing. I understand why some people didn't enjoy it-- I mean, I guess it depends on whose dreams you see and what they're about-- but I guess I was lucky. All the dreams I stumbled into were pleasant ones. Yuuko, Rosella, thank you for showing me around your homes! I'm glad I had a chance to see them, even if it was just a dream.

Todd-- are you really going to  that was did you remember to write that poem down when you woke up? Or at least, do you remember how it goes? I was trying but I can't recall all of it. It'd be a shame to lose it, it was really good!

And speaking of which... I need your recommendations on something, City! Who's your favorite poet? What's your favorite poem? I'm partial to the Romantics myself, but I'm curious to see what other people like. And kind of curious about poetry after when I'm from... I guess I have a lot to catch up on! Anything, really-- whether you think I'd like it or not, I want to read it. Assuming the library lets me find it.

Oh, what else... Work on the play is going well, though we still need more actors, of course! We've three of the four lovers, but we're still looking for a Demetrius! And several others-- most of the Athenian actors, and more fairies, always. And if any of you would like a hand practicing your lines, let me know. Blair tells me we've got costumes taken care of, and our scenery (since the play will be outdoors,) so we should be in good shape. Once we fill out a few more roles, and once everyone feels they've got a handle on their parts (even if they're not memorized yet,) we can start thinking about working as a group!

[ooc; Theater organizizing post here still. Also...not plotting anything re: poetry. clearly. >_> also yes, he is serious, he will help you practice lines |D if anyone is lame like me we can log it if you like ♥♥]

[cleverness]

Yes, er... that's been mentioned a number of times to me.

Would you prefer for an animated hat to be made? Or would you prefer actually... temporarily changing the actor's head to that of a donkey?

[had_not_lived]

...Which do you think would be better?

[cleverness]

Well, that's a good question... I suppose it depends on how comfortable the actor him or herself would be with having their head temporarily transfigured. The latter would be more authentic, although perhaps a bit disorienting.

[had_not_lived]

Robin himself will be playing Bottom, so I guess we ought to ask him. I think he'd probably be all right with that, though I can't say for certain...

[cleverness]

Oh. It's Robin?

...I'll speak with him, then. Are you sure that you don't need any other kind of special effects?

[had_not_lived]

Yeah-- he was originally thinking of playing Lysander, but decided on Bottom instead.

That's all I can think of at the moment? To be honest, I'm not used to having magical resources! I'll look over the text again, and let you know if I think of anything...

[cleverness]

Well, even when it comes to set-up--moving heavy objects around, or creating backdrops that move. Eliminates a lot of need for buying props.

[had_not_lived]

I can imagine! Blair tells me we shouldn't need much in the way of sets-- but I guess I ought to have a look at where she's planning to hold it. Most of the play's in the woods... hmn, but there are some scenes in the palace and such. Maybe we can do something about that?

[cleverness]

I could certainly construct something of that sort for the play. Although it might be easiest to work with some kind of establishment and just... temporarily alter its appearance, since engineering is not my forte.

[had_not_lived]

Sure! That sounds fantastic! This really does seem a lot easier than building and painting sets and all...

...ooh, I don't suppose you could do anything about lighting? I don't know anything about that.

[cleverness]

Lighting shouldn't be too hard. Perhaps we could meet up tomorrow with the actors and I'll try out certain things, see what all of you like best?

[had_not_lived]

Ah-- sure, I'll see who I can get to come along.

[ooc: gkljs we can just. assume they do this? haha~ i think it involves too many people for a log or anything XD]

[cleverness]

Of course.

[ooc; slkdjflksdf yyy, I assumed that we would assume this one. |D;;]
