MINATO;

[reposing]

[The invitation to accompany him to the play was made earlier in the morning with a promise of dinner afterward. In the most ideal arrangement, Alucard would be escorting Minato away to an extravagent opera and a feast fit for royalty. However, they are here, out away from anything known for all of them, so he's arranged the best he can. In the end, he's done his best to let go of truly serious expectations. Honestly, the fact that so many have been eager to help is enough for him.

So in the end, he'll live with whatever happens. He likes to think no matter what, Minato will appreciate it.

At the promised time, he returns to his room, wearing a different coat than usual. As he opens the door, he holds out his hand in invitation.]

Whenever you are ready, Minato.

MESS HALL | PLAY | OPEN;

[reposing]

[The arrangement of the "stage" is not the most professional looking. After all, they lack any real paint, so there is a distinct lack of color, but if one could describe the work done it's that it has a lot of spirit to it. There have been multiple hands in creating the arrangement, attempting to make an elegant looking garden with a faux fountain in the background. It's not terribly convincing, there are mistakes, a bit of tape and some staples into the cardboard and whatever else they could find, but it doesn't lack any passion. There are some parts that look more impressive than others, but it's inevitable when there are several people working on different parts of the set.

Still, it's not regrettable. The effort is certainly there.

Surrounding the stage are arrangement of chairs, welcoming anyone to join if they wish. However, bear in mind, there is one half-vampire ready to bodily throw you out if you become particularly... disruptive.

Handwritten are little pamphlets written distinctly in Alucard's handwriting:



Suffice it to say, it'll be an interesting play acted out by an android, hamsters, a gem, and a teenager.]

9S | OTA

[twoaffirmations]

[One way or another, 9S had been roped into helping Alucard with his play, and ended up as the intermittent narrator. That's what friends do, apparently. Having friends is a real pain in the butt. Why did he sign up for this?

But despite his grumbling and grievances, he had (when it counted most) put his all into his role. 9S proved to be a competent narrator, and his voice carried well. He didn't falter much, and he didn't forget his lines, but he did get stage fright. So he had to close his eyes and remind himself that this was his mission objective.

Once the play was over, 9S just hovered around for compliments. There's no doubt about it.]

Soooo, what did you think?

Gundam Tanaka | open;

[gundamned]

[This is a comedy, yes. Gundam, however, is committed to seeing through this endeavor with the upmost seriousness.

They might appear to be just hamsters to the untrained eye! Yet they seem to be keeping up with their cues. Squeaking along appropriately when prompted by their counterparts on stage.

Of course no one but Gundam knows for sure what they're actually saying through those squeaks.

But for the briefest of moments maybe even the most skeptical of beings might be willing to entertain the notion that those four hamsters could actually possibly be... reciting Shakespeare.]

...

[When the play ends and everyone takes their bows, Gundam is quick to clap! Enthusiastically! Probably for much too long-- until the Devas hop off the stage and run into the audience for praise and sunflower seeds.]

This overwhelming power--!! It has overcome even the mental defenses of the Supereme Overlord--!!

[He didn't think to bring tissues and ...his eyeliner is absolutely running.]
