Chloë- "Oh gosh, I don't know... What are these roles like?"
Wilhelm- "Excellent call dear Babette, your mind is as sharp as your face is lovely. 'Zeh dynamic between 'zeh two sisters is the underpinning of our plot! Desdemona is 'zeh tragic figure, but also a source of a biting wit. And passionate love, in a sickly way. Theodosia is a naïf, innocent yet brash. She demands care for her sister, but secretly feels despair for her own traumatic life, but she never loses a sense of humor. They both have a love for 'zeh dramatic, and were singers in a more pleasant day, before 'zeh war in which they masqueraded as men to fight for their country and Desdemona lost both legs. Now she has been fitted with cutting-edge prosthetic legs and wishes only to dance, despite her acute malaria contracted from a secret affair with a foreign man. If I recall correctly, I haven't read 'zeh whole script in years."
Chloë- "Ehh... which one is easier?"
Wilhelm- "Desdemona is mostly lying in bed..."
Chloë- "Hm, I think I take that one. What do you think, Babette?"

"Just give em cookies when ya done! No harm then! Like a blood bank." "So Bathsaur? What's his story? Does he get to make out with buxom Georgette?" Wilhelm- "Balthazar is a fascinating character! A cruel ganglord who has vowed a blood vendetta against Thaddeus, we think at first because he is Desdemona's secret foreign lover consumed with jealousy, but later it is revealed 'zhat it is all because his brother was 'zeh one who blew off Desdemona's legs. Theodosia murdered him in retribution, stabbed in his tent at night with a bayonette! Balthazar was there, still just a child, and witnessed 'zeh killing. He has grown now, and sets out looking for his brother's killer. He has mistaken Desdemona for Theodosia and vows revenge and loathes Thaddeus for extending her life even now. Not to get too much into things, 'zis is all implied backstory you see. Making out could happen, we do need 'zese romance scenes, they are big draws."

Ru- "Sir, I'd be HONORED to play the doctor. I will act to my heart's content. Tell me more about him, besides that he is old. Tell me everything I might need to know, please..." Maybe this was the kind of motivation he needed to avoid trappings of his previous life... "...I want to get into character as soon as possible, when you can, the script, please..."
Wilhelm- "Ah the doctor! He has grown bitter in his years of fighting diseases, and now only a youthful spirit of 'zeh sisters can penetrate his shell. He does not let 'zis show however, no, he must ever stay true to his doctorly code. Treat a disease, do not let your feelings interfere. He has doctored young Theodosia all through her sickly child days. See, it was Theodosia who was 'zeh sickly child, and not Desdemona at all, she was a brave warrior and a famous singer in Bribeaux. It is all over now, though, and their roles have changed. Dr. Pinderland must attend to 'zeh dying beauty, and underneath his calm exterior he fights back feelings of passion for 'zeh now grown and beautiful woman, despite her dwindling days. But Theodosia, her sister, is inspired by his medical prowess, and wishes to learn to become a doctor herself. Perhaps she harbors feelings for 'zeh wizened old man, but she will not admit it even to herself. Dr. Pinderland cannot teach her of course, not in an art of medicine, and not in an art of love. No, he is too proud. He must bear 'zis burden alone. Also, we are thinking he is a vampire now."

Ru- "He sounds so deep and tormented. I like the idea of someone who must be wizened and immortal for all eternity. It's such a burden to bear alone... not even to be eternally young, but to be eternally old... I must have been enraptured by her spectacular beauty and struggle, and the warrior she was when she was younger!" Ru smiles and stands tall. "I'll do it! It will be a film for the ages! Their backstory has to be explored in details. Do I die? What of August's character?"

((HAH Francesca ))"Indeed Ru! Yes, YES! Such tangled webs. Emotionally. I think we can do a lot with our roles, Russel. You harbor love for me, and I for you, but the love is neglected, because our minds resist our hearts." "By you and me, I obviously mean our characters." Babette accepted the ffffffriendzone.

Chloë- "Jack, you better hurry or you're going to be stuck being the booby lady."
Jack- "Oh, erm... so, the witch? I guess?"
Wilhelm- "Yes, Narcissa the horrible witch. She has been sent by Balthazar to end 'zeh life of poor little Desdemona. You may think she is jealous of Desdemona's radiant beauty, but yawn, how obvious! No, Narcissa is proud of her own beauty, and only hunts 'zeh waif out of obligation to Balthazar, who she loves desperately. Balthazar does not trust her though, and hass come to take matters into his own hands. Narcissa is ashamed 'zhat she could not kill Desdemona, for she too hass fallen in love with 'zeh beauty. She is torn between two lovers which cannot be. You see, Balthazar himself is at least slightly enraptured by Desdemona and can find no time for 'zeh evil witch."
Jack- "... OK."
Wilhelm- "Oh oh, perhaps she can cast a spell to make Balthazar love her, so he won't kill poor little Desdemona! And then she can haff a love scene with Balthazar!"
Jack- "Ummm that's ok, I think. I don't want to detract from the original story..."
Wilhelm- "C'est la vie..."

Ru- Ru clasped Babette's hand in his own, and looked at her starry-eyed, as if it was indeed true love of some kind or another. "Indeed, it was and wishes to be but their ages and classes tear them apart, and he would never want someone so fair and pure to become a vampire. Oh, how could one man love two women so tremendously..." Ru smiles brightly, looking away from her with his hands still up and clasped as if they were in a dance with one another. "I think you'd make a great witch, Jack."

Jack- "Thanks, I think. "
Wilhelm- "Oh yes, Georgette. Now I'd intended for Mr. Quinn to be our piano accompaniment tonight, so we are short one."
Marchese- "I'm the producer."
Wilhelm- "So that just leaves..."
Santi- "What? Aw man... Ugh. Fine. So what's this character's overly ornate motivation?"
Wilhelm- "Hnm, she's just 'zhere for titillation."
Wilhelm "So to speak..."
Santi- "All I gotta say is, I'm not stuffing my shirt."
Wilhelm "Yes, we will just imagine your generous assets... so to sp--"
Santi- "Yeah, yeah."

"It's alright, we'll replace you later with a real girl, Santi."
Santi- "I hope so."
"So... where does our scene begin?"

Wilhelm- "I hope I am not rushing things, but let us get to 'zeh set! We can use 'zeh wizard's chambers for a tobacconist."
Santi- "That set's not ready."
Wilhelm- "Let me guess, not 'zeh doctor's office either? And 'zeh hospital still smells like a butcher's shop."
Santi- "Eh, the alien planet's free..."
Wilhelm- "What-ever. Planet Zorbraxia it is. We'll set up, and 'zeh rest of you can choose costumes. They're quite old, but perhaps 'zhey will get you in character."
Chloë- "Yay it's hat time!"
The backstage had racks of old costumes of every variety, and a trunk of hats and strange props. Some were rattier than others. Shiny sci-fi get ups, frilly dresses, feathered hats, curly wigs... anything you could imagine other than dignity. The simple costumes must've gone to the cleaners.
