"I like Magdalen!"
24 hour Musical (closed)
Fae shrugged. “Sure then.”
(You can make up the character for your part guys)
"I can just be one of the students, or an ex." Jamie said, speaking up for the first time since getting there. "We might as well try and make this less terrible than it probably will be."
"My character could be named Tessa," Lau said.
“Stop being so pessimistic!”, she chided. “And sure, maybe both?”
Sam spoke up. "Maybe we can pull a Heather Chandler and have, like, the ghost of the ex who hanged himself- or herself- or themselves- haunt Cecily's conscience?"
Fae shot a look at Becca but smiled along. “Sure, but we need something to make it lighter too.”
"Well, that would be Simon and Cecily falling in love, no?"
“True. Anymore love interests we’re gonna plan?”
Becca listened silently, journal out. She drew and wrote as fast as her hands could manage, covering the pages with colorful flowers and lockets, writing lyrics in loopy handwriting.
Ainhoa noticed Becca writing. "What's that?" she asked lightly.
"Nothing." Becca said absentmindedly. "Just a song."
"An original?"
"Um…………..yeah." Becca said softly. "It's not anything that would line up with the story though."
Sam glanced at the own notebook, trying to be understanding. "Leave her alone. It's okay if she doesn't want to show it,"
"Would you want to help write the lyrics for the play?" she asked gently.
(So I mentioned Heathers to my friend and she screamed this:
"I wanna be J.D. so I can sing cool songs
Blow stuff up
cue all of my friends walking out of the shadows, including me
AND F*CK VERONICA SAWYERS!")
(Lmao. I wish I had friends like that)
"Would you want to help write the lyrics for the play?" she asked gently.
"………………………I could try. But…………..if they get to dark or intense I'll have to back out."
"That's fine, whatever you're comfortable with." She smiled at her.
"You could write the romance stuff," Sam suggested. "I'll write the dark ones,"
Fae leaned back in her seat, glad that Becca seemed more comfortable.
Becca gave a small smile. "I could try. But I'm better at songs with hope."
Ace nodded at everyone and sat on the floor.
"Okay! You could write the end song, where Cecily is recovering. So it's like the For Forever reprise,"
"So….." Jamie said, wanting to get started with the costumes. "Can anyone here sew? I can design and do makeup like hell, but I can't really make costumes that well."
"I'm hopeless," Ainhoa said apologetically.
Becca flinched. "I have some sewing skills." she said softly, though doubted that anyone heard her.
Sam turned to Becca. "Sorry, can you repeat that?"
"I have some sewing skills." She said a little louder, though still under a normal speaking voice.
