Hey, Luceti! Anyone of you went to see that play last weekend? Enjoyed the show?

[It's an idea he's been kicking around for a while. The musical served to increase his interest in getting it going. It's only a matter of getting enough people to join in.]

Who's up for a drama group of a sort? We could get together and practice acting, then perform plays for other people! If you don't know how, then we can teach you along the way. Of course, there'd be some work, like with script writing, finding and handling props. So that's something to think about if you're considering joining.

Love to act and don't mind putting in the effort? [Because he expects to see some effort, dammit.] Then let me, Roy, know!

[He'll figure out meeting place and time after knowing how many people will come. It's no fun if he's the only one there.

Of course, in his eagerness, he kind of left this post rather open to all. ~~yes prince you can see this~~]

(OOC: There OOC post for this is here, so I'd have an idea who might be ICly interested.)

Of course. That's understandable. Where would you want to meet, then? [She'd feel weird acting over the journal; her costume and actions play a decent-sized role in the process, and those can't really be conveyed through the tiny camera. Plus, the stage fright.]

[Hm...] How does the playground sound to you? [He can get there easily, and it's not exactly the most populated area except for kids.

And whoever walks by.]

That sounds great. I'll head down there soon.

[True to her word, she heads out immediately, and it doesn't take very long for her to arrive at the playground. Once she's arrived, she'll start looking around for Roy - it shouldn't be too hard, given that there aren't many people here, and she has the picture from the journal to go off of.]

[It doesn't take Roy very long until he get there. A quick glance around at the playground until he spot the redhead woman.]

[Erza waves him over.] I apologize - I was somewhat unprepared for this. [With that out of the way, she uses her magic to spontaneously change her outfit into this (http://www.mangareader.net/135-7185-10/fairy-tail/chapter-70.html) (the one in the bottom panel).]

[Once she's done, she picks up three scripts that she had set down beside her and holds them out to Roy, fanning them out so he can see the titles. She had found these scripts in the library, but she had been reading them over for a while now. There's a wide range in the scripts that she's chosen - a romance, a comedy, and a tragedy - so that she'd be prepared for anything.] Which role would you like me to act out? Or did you already have something in mind?

[The fact that she prepared scripts in advance earned her some points with him. Roy glance at the scripts, reading their titles.]

Hm...let's hear you as the lead heroine in this one. [Romance, ahoy?]

[She had picked out that particular script because it was eeriely similar to her own love life - a boy and a girl who had a mutual crush when they were younger meet several years later, only for the girl to find out that the boy has amnesia and can't remember who she is. That play gives her hope that things will turn out all right for her, even if her own situation is slightly more complicated.

After skimming through the script, she picks a particular scene and acts out the role of the lead heroine from it. She does a good job, though her acting goes into over-the-top territory at times, and she flubs her lines occasionally. Still, she hopes that her enthusiasm will make up for any mistakes she makes.]

Well? How did I do?

[He watched and listened to her performance. Roy noticed her mistakes and that she put a bit too much into the lines at some points, but overall?]

Pretty good. There's a some mistakes, but nothing practice can't fix.

S-Some mistakes? ...I see. I'll have to try harder, then. Would it still be a good enough performance for this sort of group?

Yeah, it's good enough. From what I've heard so far, our members have different skill levels. You'd probably be one of our better actors.

...Once we deal with those mistakes, of course.

Yes, of course. [She had been worried because of that "mistakes" comment, but if Roy figured that she was one of their better actors, then she had nothing to worry about.] Has there been a lot of interest in the group so far?

Yep! I've heard from a couple of people so far, enough for a small troupe. But it doesn't mean we can slack off because of our size.

Definitely not. If anything, we'll have to work harder than most acting groups, and I'll be sure to do my part to pick up any slack. [And working disproportionately hard to accomplish a simple task is something that Erza specializes in!]
