Back at it again :) //OxO//MxM//CLOSED

Ms Nobles glanced at all the reactions. “Alright. Well! As a refresher, Abe, would you mind explaining the rules?”

“I can, sure.” Abe began to explain how the game went, using Dot and a few other upperclassmen as examples of how to play.

Finn watched as Abe explained even though he knew the game very well. He glanced around at the circle again, trying to place a name to a face. He isn't the best at that so any chance he gets, he goes over everyone's name in his head. As Abe explained and demonstrated, the freshmen as well as anyone else that didn't know that game were the ones that paid the most attention.

(That was a shit reply, sorry lol. I'm a bit out of it tonight.)

(it’s all good, i get it!)

“And that’s the basics. Ms Nobles, are we using any modifications this time” Abe looked at the teacher, trying to figure out if he was done or not

She shook her head. “No, not right now- maybe later, but we’re just getting the basic game down. Is everyone ready to play?” Ms Nobles looked around at the cast.

( Thank you! Also, not sure if I know this game or not. I've played some theatre games but my drama teacher usually doesn't use names. But maybe I haven't idk, I'm basically a theatre baby lol)

There were nods and mumbles of "yes" around the circle, Finn included. Everyone looked at Ms. Nobles, probably expecting her to start since she was the teacher.

(it’s super fun, you should ask if you can (when quarantine is over, lmao), but it’s hella easy! it was my first theatre game, actually)
(also i’m not gonna try to describe the game, lmao, i can guarantee that wouldn't be interesting for either of us)

And start, she did. Ms Nobles only played for the first minute or two, simply waiting for the game to actually kick off before backing out of the circle. Abe and his buddies were clearly into it, trying to get people excited and warmed up.

(I most certainly will! Idk the name of my first theatre game, because as I said she never told us a name. But it's also pretty simple and fun. And that's totally okay lol, I get that.)

Finn was among one of the people that were into it. Even if it got boring after a bit of playing, he always kept up his energy to get anyone and everyone involved and excited. Most of the people who hadn't played it before were starting to get the hang of it and were also pumped.

Ms Nobles cut the game off after five-ish minutes, stepping into the circle. “Alrighty, mighties- we’re all warmed up, I think, so who’s ready to start? We’ll be rough blocking Act One today, fingers crossed. Remember to play around, have fun!” She chirped, clapping her hands together.

(I know I haven't replied for a couple days, but I also won't reply for the next week, possibly two. I've been having trouble replying to things and I've been out of it for a few days. So yeah, I'll be inactive for a week, possibly. Sorry about that.)

(it’s no trouble, man, don’t worry! please don’t force yourself, real life always comes first!)

((Aaahhhhhhhh!! So did I kinda forget about Notebook? Maybe. That took a lot longer than I ever thought, I sincerely apologize. I won't be super active still though, at least not as active as I was before the unexpected hiatus. Once again, I'm very sorry about that.))

(No, no, don't worry about it! I've gone through the same thing! Take your time, honestly!)

(Thank you so much!! I'll try to reply soon :)

There was a wave of nods and replies, everyone with a smile on their faces. Finn went to where he had set down his script and picked it up. The volume in the classroom rose as the rest of the cast went to do the same. Finn returned to where they had played the game to wait for the cast.

Abe grabbed his script as well, flicking to the first page. He and Brick- or Jojo, if you were going by character names, which he often did- had great chemistry as they acted out the first scene. They were still in that awkward phase where you just read your lines , but they were also trying to play around. Abe planned to be off-book by the next two weeks, anyway. It was better to get a vague grip on your lines and blocking rather than just your lines.
