Chapter 48: Casting or is it called 'Actor Fishing'?
Can't believe you were going to be doing this, but he's perfect for the role, not just because of his hair colour either, but he just may be the essential ingredient to make this idea an unexpected success.
A hard swallow of your throat and your shaky hand rose, lightly brushing the wooden door with your knuckles and then clinking them a consecutive three times against the door. No time was wasted with you pulling your arms behind your back, trying to seal away your obvious fear of this situation and attempted to stay composed; professional and aggressive to secure the deal.
Your heart stopped the moment the dorm door opened, puffing out your chest to posses a powerful stance; turns out you were the only one wearing professional body language. Allistor inhabited his doorway, with an arched back against the door frame, casually existing there and not even trying to seem like the one in charge, yet he shook your body to the bone with his casual and free flowing surplus of dominance. Green eyes, like the ones Shakespeare wrote of... The green eyed monster... With messy red hair, basic clothing effortlessly hanging from his frame and a golden stud, pierced in his ear.
Allistor: running his fingers through his hair
Aye lassie, it's been a while... What brings you to my side of the neighbourhood?
Damn, did I remember to pack tissues?
I'm sensing a red flash flood from my nose!!!
NOTHING ABOUT THIS GUY QUITS!
OH DEARLY BELOVED POTATO SAINTS!
WHY HAVE YOU MADE ACCENTS MY WEAKNESS?!?
Allistor poked you on the shoulder as you stood there silent and with a blank expression, staring at the Scotsman.
You: your body jolting and suddenly yelling
RAW SEDUCTIVE ACCENTS WILL BE MY DEMISE!
Bulging (e/c) eyes signalled that you too were shocked by what you admitted out loud; slowly rocking your head up at Allistor, who may have been more so in shock.
Allistor: speechless
_-____?
You: squeezing your eyes shut and begging for acceptance
I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY!!! .... MULTIPLIED BY AN INFINITY!!!
Allistor: recollecting his calm demeanour
Don't be, hearing it coming from a lass is a compliment! Especially knowing that I haven't lost my accent, I'd expected that mostly everyone should have lost our accents by now; if anything it gives me a reason to smile!
He shot you a gorgeous smile, making your knees shutter.
Allistor: smirking
So does that mean just by talking, I'm able to make your panties drop?
You: caught off guard
W-what?
Allistor: deviously grinning
Only pullin' your leg! ... Honestly don't feel like being skinned alive by Ivan anyways... So WHY are you at my door step?
You couldn't make words come out after the awkward moment and snatched a scrunched up poster advertising the play you grabbed on your way to ask Allistor the fiery question. He took the poster you handed him and studied it for a moment, then looked at you with a puzzled expression.
Allistor: shrugging
Okay, what does this have to do with me?
You: stuttering
Pl-please play t-the main lead! A-Anne or in th-this version, D-Dan!
Allistor: looking at you
First off, why are you suddenly stuttering around me?
Secondly, I'm no actor, plus I'm most likely not going to be chosen by the director, so.. Sorry.
You: smirking
What if I told you that the director asked for you by name to play this part?
Allistor: cocking his head to the side
Oh yeah, you seem pretty certain right now, sense your using your words, who's the director?
A cocky smile engulfed your face, earning an unforeseen reaction from Allistor.
Allistor: crossing his arms
You do bloody know that means TALKING and DIRECTING people if your going to be a DIRECTOR?!
Allistor: walking out of the doorway and slamming the door shut
I'M NOT BEING APART OF THIS TRAIN-WREAK!
... Well this worked out a lot more smoothly in your head...
Don't you just hate it when life doesn't follow the script you already have planned out!?
...
The auditions were nothing more than one giant cringe festival.
Left and right!
Front and centre!
Mediocre rapping and extravagant farting noises made with their arms!
Shakespeare quoting and dressed in drag!
Those who actually did read the script and knew what the play WAS about, didn't have too much competition for the roles.
Stupidity must be contagious, because you began to feel it taking a toll on your mind and soul; imagining yourself up on stage dressed as a flapper in the 1920s... Soaking up jazzy vibes with a cigarette pursed between your lips, hazing you behind a wall of smoke.
WHAT?!
You've gone of your nut!!!
Your head flopped to the side, slouching it against Eduard's shoulder, too out of reality to realise that you were doing it and that both he and Mathias swivelled their heads like a pair of owls at you. Poor Eduard was almost about to soil his pants, if Ivan suddenly appeared and saw this... A sight that was just pure innocence dowsed in fatigue, shaking the Estonian to the bone.
Another student made their way up to the 'X' marked on the stage, tussling his long fringe of light brown hair away from his right eyes, but in vain for it to imminently fall back to its original position.
Siegfried: standing with straight posture hands behind his back
Much respected representatives of the Student Council, I've summoned myself here today to audition... For the role of co-director.
Your head pricked at the lost few words that rolled off his tongue.
They were politely composed, but somehow your mind reconstructed them into a threat.
Siegfried noticed your spike in interested from your body language, you were no longer lazing about on Eduard's shoulder, but paying full attention to the stranger whom's face has no name for you to recognise them by.
He sculpted a smirk with his lips, locking his gaze in your direction, but respecting you enough to not lock eye contact.
Siegfried: raising his head high
I'm Siegfried Schmit, son of world famous Luxembourgish film directors and it would be a absolutely pleasure to work beside you madam Vice President.
That boy sure does know how to flatter someone and has no shortage of charisma.
Mathias: shrugging his shoulders
Ja! I like that idea
You tilted your head in the direction of Mathias and looked behind Eduard to shoot the Dane a look of confusion that consisted of a flexed eyebrow and a blank face.
Mathias: grinning at you with his eyes closed
You'll start helping her after everybody has been casted!
Siegfried: taking his leave
I'll be waiting with a bounce of youth in my step and a chester smile embroidered between my dimples.
Puzzling... He worded things so elegantly and politely.
A ghost approached the 'X' as soon as Siegfried waltzed off the stage, except his presence wasn't haunting nor gruesome, but casual and burden free.
Gilbert: looking behind himself as he walked over
He zseems happy... Is zthe role of Diana still open or even zthe understudy?
Eduard: speaking up
The character is called 'Dante' in this version.
Gilbert: nodding his head
Ja...
Mathias signalled to him to begin his audition.
Gilbert's eyes darted around the stage for a moment and his final glance ended on you, before he looked down at his feet, pulling the script from his back pocket.
Gilbert: reading Dante's line in a nervous tone
I zthink it's a shame zthat Gertrude had to lose on a count of Trudy. Don't jou zthink Gertrude is stunning?
Mathias: reading back the lines of Dan
She is stunning. But I think Ger---
HOLY MOTHER OF GUAVA GECKOS!!
Gilbert: still reading Dante's lines in a nervous tone
I vish she'd vwink at me. She's---
HE SOUNDS LIKE A FREAKING BROKEN ROBOT!!
When Gilbert finished reading the lines, you had already rehearsed over in your head a million times on how you were going to tell him that you weren't looking for a 'dud actor'.
Mathias: winking at Gilbert
Congrats! You got the main lead of Dante!
WWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!?!?!?!????!?
I'M YELLING BIAS ON THAT FASTER THAN KE$HA WILL BE YELLING TIMBER!
Mathias: cocking his head to the side to smirk at you
I believe that we now have all the characters filled...
Counting on his fingers
Mathias: his smirk widening after ever name
(Diana) Dante - Gilbert
(Jerry) Cheery - Matthew
(Mathew) Mallory - Jet
(Gilbert) Gertrude - Toris
Siegfried as your co-whatever you are
And extras for background and stuff!
Eduard: looking at you in concerned
We still need (Anne) Dan and (Marilla) Marn... Too VERY important characters!
*a voice clearing*
You all looked back at the stage and felt rather pleased to see a certain red head and a stranger with a tall stature and olive complexion.
You: suddenly bursting from your seat
DAN HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!
Allistor: shocked
... Ohhh- okay?
You: whipping your hand at the stranger
WHO THE LEMON CHEESE SQUIRT ARE YOU!?
Sadik: trying to make a good impression
I-I'm Sadik and I'd like to audition for Marn...
You: jumping up onto the desk
BLOODY BRILLIANT! YOU'VE GOT DA PART MY DEAR FELLOW!
Allistor: raising an eyebrow
Are you trying to do a British accent?
You: heroically putting your hands on your hips
INDEED!!
Mathias: whispering to Eduard
Did you slip some 'funny pills' into her drink?
Eduard: shaking his head and hands in denial
No! No! No! N---
His hand hit the back of your calf and pushed you off the table, slamming your head into the ground in a blink of an eye. It happened all too fast for you to have realised what was happening.
Eduard began hyperventilating whiles Allistor and Sadik ran to your unconscious body.
Mathias: sitting with his legs up on the table
She always seems to lighten up the mood... (Smirking) Those unpredictable character changes though, haha, always so much fun!
==================================================================================
Siegfried - Luxembourg (not official name)
Sadik - Turkey
Clap your hands if you know if your late with updating *clap clap*
Clap your hands if you know if your late with updating *clap clap*
Clap your hands if you truly know your late with updating and feel like a jerk *slams head against brick wall* XD
Thank you so much for 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 AND 14K views on here! :D
It's been a while, I'm truly sorry about that.
Well if anyone is curious I recently went to Sydney for the first time ever to watch a Bell Shakespeare production of MacBeth in the Sydney Opera House. It was 14 hour drive (including time spent watching the play) with my class on a bus... Plus I got sick on the way back home... It was a bittersweet trip XD
Here's a picture of Sydney Opera House I took, it was pretty cool and crowded with tourists.
I also recently had my 17th birthday... Lol I think that's all I have to say; until next time, stay fantastic guys!
THANK YOU FOR READING!!!!!!!
