    For all theatre people:

    Every year, my school does the Utah Shakespeare Festival competition. We have two teams: middle school, which is 7-9 grade, and high school, which is 9-12 grade. Each team must do an ensemble scene, two duo/trio scenes, and three monologues, and have the choice to do a duo/trio dance and an ensemble dance.
    I'm on the high school team this year, and we chose to do a duo/trio dance but not an ensemble dance.
    We put everyone - even scenes and monos - in the ensemble, with non-specifically ensemble people being a part of the surprise attack choir, who sit in the back.

    So anyway, this year I'm part of a duo/trio scene. Pretty dang tough, I was surprised when he chose me instead of just putting me in as one of the very minor parts in the ensemble. So we've already performed, the judges have judged us, and we want to show off to the people at the school. So we're doing what we do every year, a showcase. But obviously, some people won't be able to attend. Just one this year: A secondary character with two monologues and a good bit of blocking.

    Obviously, our director can't put someone who was in the regular ensemble in as this secondary characters, so he needs someone from scenes/monos/dance. Dance is a no, they wouldn't be in there if they wanted to memorize lines. He already used one of the monos as Macbeth because Macbeth got COVID before we left and couldn't come. That leaves 6 scene people (both scenes were trios) and 2 monos. Guess who he sent the email to (day before the showcase) asking if someone could replace her! Me and the two monos, who are both so timid they didn't make it through the first round.

    So I memorized some monologues last night (which feels fast). And I'm going to learn my blocking today, about an hour before we perform.

    A: I feel very impressive, both because of the opinion of my coach and because of my ability to do this.

    B: I'm more than slightly terrified.

      Break a leg, Connie!!! You're gonna do AWESOME!

      And yeah, the Macbeth taboo is just in the theatre itself, but it's not tabooed to say it in the show itself. Or I think if you're doing the show and need to refer to it, it's fine too...

      Wow!  Memorizing Shakespeare monologues within the 24 hours of performance, that's fantastic!  How did it go?

      I messed up twice, once with blocking and once with lines.

      But no one noticed!!!

    Today, a bird got trapped in our chimney. It was flapping around in the fireplace, and so obviously Mom opened the fireplace doors. The bird got out, flew around the house for quite a while(even though we had all the doors and window screens open, it kept banging into the other side of the windows), and guess who got it out? I grabbed a pair of gloves, gently picked up the bird, and carried it out of the house, where it flew away.

    I also bought a wooden replica of Sting.

      Oh. I was kinda confused.

      And also like why would I name it something other than Sting

      The bird's name is now... Spensa. Because she was idiotic but also flew really well. :)

    "But don't worry! We'll be there to help you!" The Side Character gives the Hero a thumbs-up.

    Yay! Cadence bit down on the bread, plucking it gently out of her hand. Cadence snapped the cinnamon roll into her beak and swallowed it. Yummy!

    "That is not happening. You have access to healers now!"

    I bet it won't make me sick.

    What do you guys do when you're, like completely and utterly bored in school but you have to listen slightly so you can't read because the teacher will get annoyed? Because a lot of my classes move super slowly and I just want something to do.

    And I can't draw all the time. I don't have enough to draw.

      You're welcome! I figured you're in one of my RPs, right? I can totally follow you without being weird.

      You could try crocheting. Bring a little ball and hook and you’re all set!

    Can I have one?

    The Side Character patted the Comic Relief on the shoulder.

    "Mud? No, you will not. Do you have any idea how gross that stuff is?"
  14. Condensation
    The Side Character laughs slightly. "Y'know, I think my dad told the same one once."
  15. Condensation
    "Of course! And if you want one, I could probably get you, like, a Doomslug plushie or something."
  16. Condensation
    ¨Not at all! I can bring you some books I like, too, if it comes to that.¨

    "I am the Side Character, useful for many things but incapable of fulfilling the Main Character's task."
  18. Condensation
    Okay. So don't touch anything?

    "No, sorry, Lilliana. I just meant maybe we could figure something out!"

    Yeah money no.

    "Oh! Hi." Faith smiled. "We were wondering if we could go somewhere else in the Cosmere?"

    HBO Max?

    Herate laughed. "Stop my mouth!" she jokingly quoted. Daolan obliged, kissing her.

    I would like to know where I can find more of these! Because I can't find them on my streaming service and I want to watch them all!

    "Yay! I'll have 4 to start and take 2 each for Noche and Hiiri. They don't like cookies as much as I do." Aria grabbed eight cookies. "Now, where did Noche and Hiiri go?"
