audio; un: alucard | locked from minato, open to everyone else

[reposing]

I find myself in need of some services.

I am in need of several people to help achieve a personal project of mine. I've recently become acquainted with some of the works in the library that is new to me, but perhaps old to you. The Much Ado About Nothing play from William Shakespeare.

I need fairly convincing actors, and those with an artistic touch to set a stage.

I am open to discussion. I would like to do this fairly soon, perhaps in a week.

I'm... not that good at drama, but I can try to help you design some sets if you want. Painting and stuff, I mean.

Did something happen?

[reposing]

I would appreciate that, Hajime.

Other than the rest of the happenings this month? [He sighs softly.] I want... to do well by Minato.

[hopefragment]

No problem. It's the least I can do for a friend.

[Vampire-sensei-!!! But also wait, huh? Minato?]

Oh, I didn't know Minato was a fan of plays. Are you guys close?

[He's. slow on the uptake sometimes...]

[reposing]

I actually don't know if he is.

Mm. Yes. Dating is the term, isn't it?

[hopefragment]

Whoa, really?!

[Don't say anything about the maid dress, don't say anything about the maid dress...]

That's awesome! I'm really happy for you guys.

[And he means it, too, even if it's weird to think of his friend and the guy who's basically a ye olde teacher dating... it's nice, too. Man, between Ryuji and Dave, and Alucard and Minato, it's like all of Hajime's friends are hooking up around him, huh?]

Then I'll definitely make sure to work hard to put something together.

[reposing]

[he absolutely knows about the maid dress]

Yes. And thank you. Minato is very special; I'm more fortunate than I can properly vocalize.

[As he speaks, his voice is soft. Fond.]

Mm. Thank you, I appreciate it.

[hopefragment]

[Bless him. Hajime just laughs softly and nods, though Alucard can't see it.]

Yeah, he's a pretty cool guy, but I'd say you're both pretty lucky.

Anyway, I don't know much about Shakespeare... which play is this again?

[reposing]

It is a romantic comedy. One of the main stories is about two people who bicker and mock each other, but their friends intend to trick them into making them think one loves the other.

I thought of Romeo and Juliet, but it seems a tad over dramatic to me. ...And I would prefer Minato smile.

[hopefragment]

Oh... I don't think I read that one.

[He was hoping it'd be like Romeo and Juliet... he knows that story! It's in anime all the time!! But this sounds way cuter, so he guesses it's fine.]

But yeah, you're right. Romeo and Juliet is supposed to be a love story, but they both die at the end, don't they...? We definitely don't need that kind of stuff on this station.

What kinds of props do you think you would need?

[reposing]

Mm, not much in the way of props, if I remember correctly. Though I will need more focus on a somewhat convincing background for us to use.
