Quinn Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 After MUCH conferring in chat with multiple people and the Powers What Is; we have a new thread on offer! Basic idea is this; any Claremonter, up to five, for one reason or another, are a part of a summer performance of The Princess Bride at one of the amateur theatres in town. There will be action! Comedy! Drama! Romance! Swordplay! And a bit with a dog. And, naturally whenever Claremonters are around, shenanigans will ensue. Currently, those who have already volunteered are Aoiroo's Changeling and Semi-Autogyro's Myrmidon, handling the villains of the piece, as well as the numerous extras (illusions and duplicates, a stage show's best friend(s)). However...this means we have no lead roles! Oh noes! So, we're putting out a casting call! We need a Wesley! A Buttercup! An Inigo Montoya! And a Fezzik! Who's game?
Aoiroo Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I sort of want Etain to try and go for the roll of Inigo Montoya, might be a little funny if all three leads are girls (Etain as Inigo, Caresse as Wesley and Wisp as Buttercup).
quotemyname Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 If your going that route, shouldn't you make buttercup a guy? :P
Aoiroo Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Well we can have some villian roles open, Myr is going to play all the faceless characters, so the roles are Wesley Prince Humperdink Buttercup Inigo Montoya Fezzik Vizzini Miracle Max Count Rugen(six fingered man)
Azuth65 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Oh yeah Wisp is in. My first thought is of her taking Andre's role as the strong-"man" of the group.
Sovem Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Well, Peter has Morph and Illusion powers, too, so he'd be happy to help out with set design as well. He could also play a role, though I'm not really sure how a play works in a play-by-post...?
Azuth65 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I imagine the plan is to mostly gloss over the play itself, instead focusing on character interaction until some sort of whacky hijinks ensue. Such as the play becoming reality temporarily or somebody looking like Lon Chaey messing with production. Or perhaps the Robot Devil interrupts to get his hands back from the musical director. Then again, these are all massive assumptions on my part.
Cyroa Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Cole could be convinced to help with set and prop design... though don't want to overcrowd this thread honestly.
