Jyuushirou Ukitake - Bleach

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

[ Action Prompt ]


Alright class, we've got something exciting for you guys this month! So I'm going to assume you're all familiar with Shakespeare, yes? Well we've gotten permission from the Salem Center Community Theatre to put on an all-student production of Twelfth Night! Isn't that exciting? It will be a chance to truly experience Shakespeare's works the way they were meant to be, not just from the audience, but on the stage yourself!

So, who wants to act? Direct? Stage manager? Let's all work together to put on a great show!


[ Prose Prompt ]


He'd barely made it down the hallway after excusing himself before it started. The coughing no doubt echoed in that old structure, embarrassingly drawing attention. Even his students could probably hear it. Damnit... he hadn't meant to make anyone worry. But today was just not a good day for his lungs. He'd need to make his way to see Hank. Assuming he could get there on his own...

Prose

[found_a_way]

"Jyuushirou, you okay?" Have a concerned looking Negi behind you, holding onto a stack of papers and his customary staff slung over his shoulder. He's standing a respectful distance behind the other man when he heard the coughing.

"Need help getting to Hank?"

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Caught. Not that it was surprising.

"Ah, well... This is a pretty bad one, it seems. So some help would be indeed appreciated."

[found_a_way]

"I hear you. Grab hold, I'll bring you to Hank." Moving over to Jyoushirou, he helped the other man sling his arm around his shoulder. "This isn't curable right? Genetics?"

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

"Mutations come, good or bad... I've learned to live with it, so need to worry yourself, yes?" Jyuushirou managed a chuckle inbetween coughs, following the much shorter teacher's directions. A good thing about that height difference... It made this a lot easier.

[The Twelfth Night. Not his favorite play by the Bard. A winged boy in the back continued to read the class-issued book version. Maybe if he stayed quiet enough, the teacher would skip over him. Acting wasn't his forte.

Neither was participating.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

... Ahem. -Venom, he called your name, like, two minutes ago.-

[thought_takes_flight]

[The bird just looks up, his eyes peeking over the book.]

Yes, Mr. Ukitake?

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

I was asking everyone what they were willing to contribute to the production.

[Action]

[black_lily]

Shakespeare?

[She pronounces the name... strangely, as if she never heard the name before. Which is odd, because otherwise her English is rather good]

I've never heard of him. He must not be important. [Well, that would explain that...]

You should do something from the Takarazuka Revue instead.

[Ironically, that group has done Twelfth Night before.]

[She clearly has no idea how this kind of stuff works beyond the spectator position]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

-Oh boy, here we go.-

It's not Takarazuka Revue if it's not done by that troupe, you know. And regardless, not all of my students know Japanese.

[black_lily]

Y-yes, well...

... you can adapt it to English, then.

[Her entire argument has already been blown out of the water, but she was stubbornly hanging on to what small shred there was left of it.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

You'll also notice we've a bit too many men for a Takarazuka Revue, as well.

[action]

[sou_kigetsuki]

[Sou lifted the book off the desk top and flipped the cover closed.]

Did it, done it, own it, bought the t-shirt on e-bay. I don't do plays anymore.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Well, how fortunate you have experience. Because you'll be playing the lead, Mr. Kigetsuki.

[sou_kigetsuki]

What?!

[His face looks like he's been caught in the headlights again.]

Wait...seriously. What?!

It begins. :D [Action]

[icy_heavens]

[... Actually putting on a play? Why can't they just read and analyze it like a normal class? Not that he's going to complain out loud. Because that would be stupid.]

So this is required, now? [Not that he's not going to try and find some alternative to being social.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Well, you don't need to be on stage, necessarily, but you do need to help the production in some way.

[icy_heavens]

I refuse to be on stage. [He can't even imagine how terrible it would be for him up there.]

[diseasing]

"Hey, teach, you okay?"

Someone must have been on lunch break. The voice came from higher than was probably normal or expected, and if Ukitake cared to look up, he would find Yamame sitting cross-legged on top of a row of lockers. There was, indeed, a pile of what appear to be snack cakes from a vending machine sitting in her lap.

"You don't look so good." A statement of the obvious, perhaps, but it was delivered with a very intent stare.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Oh. This girl. He wasn't going to ask if the cakes were for her or for her pets. He's learned better than to ask too many questions of her in general. Though, strange as she was, she was also sweet and obviously concerned.

"I may need some help getting to Dr. McCoy's office..."

[diseasing]

"Okay. Hold on a second."

She swept her lunch into her bag and then dismounted from her ledge, knees barely bending as her feet hit the ground. It was barely a second later that she was at his side.

"What can I do for you?"

[action]

[lastplaceigo]

[This might be cool. Not quite the running around activities that she likes, but with other training going on, something academic would be a nice balance.

Margot thumbs through the book, actually looking excited.]

I'd be up for acting... It's not that hard, right?

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Oh, it can be, depending on the role. But this doesn't have to be award winning, either. It's just going to be a small community ordeal.

[lastplaceigo]

[Challenge accepted.]

Oh, I'm not worried~ So... what would it take to land the role of Viola?
