❦ 002 ❦ Video ❦
[The video flickers on to reveal a young man woman standing on a stage, ‘her’ long purplish-black hair falling luxuriantly down his back, the top coiled in intricate braids adorned with glittering jewels on his head and long bangs framing slate-gray eyes.
He’s not looking at the video, however. Instead he’s listening intently to an older man that’s talking to him, motioning across the stage with one hand. The actor nods, tales a step back, shakes his hair back, then sighs towards the actress near him, his movements flow with a natural grace, the expressions flawless as he recites his lines:]
“I did not take my leave of him, but had most pretty things to say: ere I could tell him how I would think on him at certain hours such thoughts and such, or I could make him swear the shes of Italy should not betray mine interest and his honour, or have charged him, at the sixth hour of morn, at noon, at midnight, to encounter me with orisons, for then I am in heaven for him; or ere I could give him that parting kiss which I had set betwixt two charming words, comes in my father and like the tyrannous breathing of the north shakes all our buds from growing.”
[A pause then, before Nezumi glides over to where his bracelet had been resting, waiting until he's close enough to wink playfully at the video, a knowing smirk slowly curving his lips.]
Just a tease, or a taste, my lords and ladies. For the rest, come to The Draupnir in Freyr District tonight, seven sharp!, to see Shakespeare's Cymbeline.

[He smiles, amused, and arches a brow.]
Was I disturbing you by chance? Though I’m hurt - you never offered to help read lines.
video;
[Though it didn't honestly bother him given how often he just lay awake at night.]
video;
In truth, I neither want or need, but if it disturbs you than let me know. Besides, it's always easier to run lines with someone that's aware of tone and inflection.
video;
You don't honestly believe I'm suited for that?
video;
[He shrugs and smiles at that.]
Besides, being a roommate doesn't entitle you to a sneak-peak of the performance, now does it? That should be earned.
video;
Does the same apply for attending your performance?
video;
[He sighs at that, suddenly reminded of countless conversations with Shion.]
I suppose so, though I'm sure if I had reason to, I could get the ticket fee waived. Especially if the person in question were to, say, work there? Got any stage talent? Or, say, the orchestra? Anything to replace the local zombies, really.
video;
Though Nezumi's last question gives him pause; there would be without a doubt a need for employment eventually, and while he didn't necessarily play for just anyone... To say he missed that method of expressing himself when his own emotions failed to do so was and understatement.]
... Piano.
video;
[It wasn't a full orchestra, but it was more than the playhouse ever really had. Nezumi shrugs then nods at that, more thoughtful than anything, then cants his head to the side.]
We could use that, I think. Care to come down and see where we can use it with the production? If you're good enough, I might even be able to sing an aria or two in future selections.
video;
Would you want me to come down there now?
video;
They don't exactly have an ear for the finer details. But sure. Now would be fine.
