[ NOTE: This thread will be opened "officially" once the participating Prefects have had an opportunity to RP their arrivals. Please feel free to start up your own audience thread if you foresee yourself wanting to post your reactions, activities, etc. seperate from those of the other audience members. We thought that by creating seperate threads for the on-stage, stage crew, and audience members that it might make things a little easier to understand, although who knows... enjoy the show ]
 
[ OOC -The doors are now open, although the curtains remain closed as we await the opening of the play. Please feel free to post entering the theatre and choosing a seat if you wish. ]
 
Isabella had grown up in a rather wealthy environment so as a young child she had grown to love and appreciate plays and the elegance of theater. She was aware that play-goers usually dressed up when they went to a show, and even though she was only thirteen, and this was only a school play after all, she still dressed up nonetheless. She dressed up in a black sequined dress, wore a pearl necklace and white satin gloves, just for formality, and completed the look with a white floral headband on her short, tightly-curled hair.

She entered the great hall and gasped at how magnificent the stage looked and grew excited at the thought of this play. As if her longing to be a Prefect wasn't already strong enough, this play made her even more determined to become one. She was determined to make up for her poor grades last semester by acing all of her classes this semester; the classes she had this semester were her favorites anyway.

Isabella took a seat a couple of rows into the middle section of the arena. She knew the first few rows were never the best seats because you couldn't see the entire stage, so she made sure to get the perfect seat; the advantages of being first. She held a small purse in her tiny, gloved hands which held her wand and her glasses, which up until a few weeks ago, she had never let anyone see her in, but she knew she'd have to wear them if she wanted to fully enjoy the play. She sighed contently as she took a seat and wondered who else would show up.
 
Vivienne loved the theatre, and had been looking forward to the school play for some time now. Although she knew it was only a small production, she had always been taught to dress nicely for occasions like this. Actually, she had been taught to dress nicely on all occasions. Smoothing her black dress, Vivienne made her way into the Great Hall. She glanced around, noticing that there was only one other person currently there. Remembering their last encounter, she tried to keep out of her way, inconspicuously edging into a seat behind the girl she had forgotten the name of. Fiddling with her necklace, Vivienne hoped someone she knew would arrive soon, as she didn't like to sit alone.
 
Arisa was up in her room fiddling with her wand and trying to change her hair color from the horrible red it was now to the blond she missed. She sighed as she realized nothing was going to work and went to go find a dress to wear. She put on a blue dress and made her way down to the great hall.

Once there she saw to other people. Isabella and Viv. "hey Viv" she whispered taking a seat next to her. "mind if i sit with you?" she asked with a smile.
 
Vivienne looked up from her hands, when she saw Arisa come over and sit next to her. "Arisa! Yeah, of course you can sit there," she laughed, wondering how Arisa would have reacted if she'd said no. "Pretty dress, is it new?" Vivienne smiled, noticing Arisa was showing much less skin than usual. Remembering there were other people in the theatre, Vivienne quietened down, not wanting to disturb anyone.
 
"yeah" Arisa said with a smile. "yours is nice too" She said looking at Viv's black dress. She looked at the stage "i hope it starts soon" Arisa whispered.
 
Kida Skipped into the great Hall, she pranced around like a nutter, she was wearing something simple she didnt feel the need to dress up, Kida spotted Arisa and Ran over to her, she held her arms out like a Aeroplane, "Ariiiiiiiiiiiiiisa" Kida said Laughing, she had been in the kitchen before and had managed to sneak some more chocolate, she was on a sugar high. Kida looked at Viv "Oh its you" she said sounding crude and mean, but she quickly covered it with a Laugh, and sat down next to Arisa, "I joke Viv, want some chocolate" Kida held out 7 bars of chocolate. She smiled and looked to the stage. "I hop you dont mind me sitting with you by the way, i bring a peace offering." Kida said Smiling as she opened her bag revealing it packed with chocolate. She smiled and looked to the stage "whats it about" Kida asked having no idea what its about.
 
"Kiiiiiiida" Arisa replied laughing. Kida was on a sugar high, this would be interesting, very interesting. When she pulled out the chocolate Arisa smiled even bigger "of course you can sit with us!" Arisa said snatching a chocolate bar from Kida.
 
Vivienne frowned when Kida spoke to her, but quickly laughed when she realised it was a joke. "Oh, you scared me for a second there!" he said, as she didn't want anyone to be unhappy with her. Vivienne's eyes glowed as Kida pulled out some chocolate, but was quick to refuse. "Oh, no thanks. I have too much of a sweet tooth, I need to cut back on the chocolate." she said with a hearty laugh. "Um, the play's called 'It's All Fun & Games' or something like that.. I'm not sure what it's about either.."
 
Azerail walked into the room, dressed in his usual gothic attire, only with blue jeans this time. His hair was parted to the side, revealing the blonde he had put in it not too long ago. He took a seat close to the middle, with his arms crossed. Perhaps this was what that...other girl was speaking of. The play all the prefects were putting on. He was curious as to what all this was about, was it about pranks? He wasn't even around when they happened. However, he was bored, and had nothing better to do, so he decided to come. Azerail did not looked around with his emerald eyes to see if he recognized anyone. He doubted he did anyway.
 
Kida waved the chocolate bar around in Viv's Face "C'mon you know you want to" she said laughing slightly, She brushed her right hand through her hair, "I think its about time i took this bandage off" Kida said laughing, and she bounced around slightly on her seat, "Coolio sounds interesting" Kida Smiled
 
"i think you could take your bandage off" Arisa said with a smile "how long has it been anyways?" Arisa asked. She was sure Sern could handle seeing the scars, the only reason she still had the bandage on was because she didnt want Sern to feel bad "im sure it will look fine"
 
"Scars?" Vivienne asked in a confused tone. "Is that from one of your trips to the Hospital Wing? I never get told anything, so I have no idea what happened. Tell me!!" she said, exasperated. She was never part of anything her friends did. As someone else entered the Great Hall, Vivienne turned her head to see who it was. She recognised it as the boy she'd met at the Yule Ball. "Hey Azerail!" she called out, before turning back to her friends.
 
"oh, some stuff that happened in the forest" Arisa said. She knew Kida was open about them but Arisa didnt like telling people, for Serns sake. "Kida got hurt really bad and now she has scars on her hand" She added.
 
Andromeda walked to the doors of the auditorium, a little disgruntled that her prefect status had been removed but knew her Head of House had been justified. She just hadn't been able to do the badge justice last term, there had been way too many things going on in her life and she had slinked, no slithered away from the responsibility she had been entrusted with. Knowing she had let down her HoH, she had handed over her badge without any attempt of standing up for herself or the position. She didn't deserve it, at least not yet. But she was determined that someday she would.

Everyone seemed to be looking so well dressed when she entered, Andromeda looked down at the dark navy wide legged trousers and tight fitting tailored blouse she wore and figured she looked alright. Her hair had been cropped over the holidays so it now began to curl slightly. She had even begun to wear just the lightest hint of makeup, to take the edge of her pale pallor. All in all, she looked good and couldn't complain. She chose to wear dark navy pumps instead of anything too high, she was shooting upwards something awful. Getting taller and taller by the month, she was now 5'5" tall and figured it might have something to do with her werewolf genetic code. She honestly couldn't remember how tall her parents had been.

Taking a seat at the rear of the room, she smiled as she picked up a program about the play and its actors. She couldn't wait to see Zuka in this, her friend had come along way since their first year here. So much more confident in herself. Looking about to see if she could see Brian or anyone else she knew, Andromeda sighed when she didn't and scanned the program once more, waiting for the play to begin.
 
Cecily smiled and nodded at the students and staff showing up. She paused with her brown sack of muggle buttered popcorn and scanned the large room. Her lips turned up at the corner as she chose a seat in the middle of the where it would soon be crowded. She wanted to immerse herself in the story and also the reactions of those around her. It was the closest thing to a movie theatre experience she'd had in a long time.

She looked around and wondered if Nicolas would attend or if he did not feel up to it. She would fill him in if he didn't feel well enough. Munching on the popcorn and sipping her cola she settled back in her seat.
 
Alyssa sat herself down gracefully next to Isabella and crossed her legs. She had heard that the Prefects were planning to put on a play. Alyssa was always in for a little entertainment. So she dcided she'd come and see what this play was going to be all about.

"Does anyone know what this play is going to be about?" Alyssa asked she adjusted her pink v-neck Cashmere sweater and flattened her black skirt to make sure she looked as cute and proper as she could possibly be for an event like this. Casually glancing down Alyssa also made sure to check and see that her black leggings and pink ballet flats were all in place as well.

'I wonder when it will start?' Alyssa asked herself once she had decided that she looked fine and would have no problem being out in public with her outfit.
 
Bruin was standing at the end of an aisle and surveying the heads in the audience as the play began. It appeared that they had a pretty good turnout, both students and faculty members had settled into their seats. Bruin was rather impressed by how nice most of the people looked, particularly as hadn't really expected people to dress up for a school production.

A smile spread across his face as Mike, Njord and Kailey delivered the opening lines of the show. They were doing a great job of getting to the point that this would be a show about excessive pranking, especially amongst the younger students and he laughed at the way his fellow Prefects had chosen to dress and deliver their lines.

As much as Bruin wanted to watch the production, he found himself constantly scanning the theatre for possible trouble. He got the sense that some of the newbies would like nothing better than to make a name for themselves by pranking the Prefect's play. To be honest, part of him hoped they would because Bruin had a few tricks up his sleeves as well and no one would forget this night if anyone was foolish enough to try something.

Bruin had a good vantage point and knew that Estrella was also keeping her eyes peeled for anything suspicious. It was just unfortunate that Cyndi had come down ill as she had been the other third of their "audience surveillance team" and her absence created a few holes in their defenses. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now...except hope that the production goes off without a hitch....
 
Arithmos did not routinely make a habit of attending such functions, but believed that his presence at this one was appropriate. He had not been impressed by the general behavior around the school this year and wished to support the Prefects in their efforts to bring the matter to the fore. He would be redoubling his efforts in second semester to rein in those students within Slytherin House whom had been putting an inordinate amount of effort into causing mayhem and less than what was required to excel in their academics. Slytherin was in a position to distance themselves from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw in the house standing and the only credible threat that Hufflepuff had for the House Cup this year.

Arithmos noticed that Cecily Rambolt was already seated and elected to join her despite the fact that she was looking rather undignified whilst munching on popcorn and sipping a soft drink. Arithmos sensed that the play was about to get underway and elected to simply nod his head as he sat down on the bench a few feet from her. He was a reserved man and did not allow any one to get too close to him and did not impose his own presence upon others unless the need arose.
 
Hoshi made her entrence when the doors opened. She knew that this play was about what had been going on at the school. She had admit that the bitters had to stop trying to top her. Hoshi was queen and everyone knew it. When she pulled a bit prank the whole school knew about it exsept maybe the Prefects. Hoshi took a seat high up in the stands then put cones next to her so they would know that those seats where resurved for her friends.

Hoshi showed up in a very questionalbe outfit. Her shirt stoped just above her wist and showed an ample amount of her chest. Black pants with silver ankhs at the cuffs where what she chose to ware with the top along with an ankh as the pendent for her bellybotton ring. Her arms where covered in black and white strips while at her throat sat a sliver choker with a black gem resting on a oval platanem setting. Her copper colored hair was done up in a high pony tail. Hoshi crossed her leg at the knee and laced her black tipped fingers together.

Hoshi was very intrested in what exsactly would be the thame of the play. The best thing was that if anything happened Hoshi could not get blamed for it. She was near the top and would stay there. Hoshi was going to be the most perfict little angel she could be. That didn't mean that things could not happen. Hoshi had planted an idea in another's head. She just hoped that the person would come though. It would be a shame not to add a sort of flare to this play. She watched as the play started with a wicked smile on her charming face.
 
Andromeda leaned back in her seat as the curtain rose and a large banner hovered above the stage. She smiled impressed at the lengths the prefects had gone to bring the school pranxters to order. She felt bad that she was no longer a prefect but that didn't mean she wasn't going to keep an eye out for them and deal out some severe punishments if she saw anything. There had been way too many games played on people about the school and it seemed a select few were responcible for all of it.

She wasn't a goody two shoes by any means and had been in trouble herself before but not for doing damage to school property or messing about with people either. She recognised Mike, Njord and Kailey immediately as they came on to the stage. Even though Kailey had on a platinum blonde wig it was pretty hard not to recognise her. Andromeda had clapped when the curtain had risen but was now settling back to enjoy the show.

It was possibly habit but Andromeda kept her eyes peeled, weary that the first years responcible would attempt something tonight of all nights.
 
Freya silently entered the great hall and stood at the back while the play began. She watched proudly as her son over acted and had fun with the audience. He had really come a long way from the moody boy who barely spoke two words to anyone. He now had a girlfriend, was doing well in school, had been made prefect and was now infront of the whole school acting with his friends. She couldn't have been prouder of him.
 
The first act was going extremely well. Bruin's fellow Prefects seemed to have a real talent for acting, some playing it straight and others really hamming it up for the audience. Bruin took another look around at the reasonably full theatre and was pleased to see that they were all behaving themselves well. He noticed that Hoshi was sitting in one of the upper levels and decided that he'd keep an extra special eye on her section in case she tried anything, but otherwise all looked quiet...perhaps too quiet....

Bruin noticed that Lily was preparing to deliver the final line of the first act and hustled to get into position for the change of scenes.
 
Arisa watched the first act of the play. Once the curtains had been closed she pulled out a small bag "Kida can i talk to you for a minute?" she whispered in Kida's ear. Hoshi had met up with her before the play and given her the idea of setting off some small rockets during the play. Arisa was a little upset she hadnt been invited to join the halloween pranks and wanted to show people she was just as good.
