(ninth act) BBS + action (action open to fourth wall); also drama class

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I just met someone who looked like she could have been my triplet. [Off screen. Alas, I play Sharpay and Savannah. Your character might have heard the ear piercing shriek, though, or witnessed Sharpay storming off to her office and a brunette cheerleader who looks a lot like her wandering off confused in the other direction.]

What's the weirdest encounter you've had with our recent influx of visitors? Or who do you wish would turn up? Because I'd much rather have my actual twin put in an appearance here.

- Instructor Sharpay Evans

[She's still feeling a bit sulky after posting this, so instead of going over some art and music material for next week, she...sits around on the floor with her dog instead. She's holding out an empty Phoenix Down container to Boi.] Open it! [Boi cocks his head at her quizzically.] Or just bite it open...

[Yeeeeeah, guess who's trying to teach her Jack Russell terrier Recover? And it's her office hours, so anyone can wander by and see this.]

[ALTERNATELY: Friday drama class]
[IMPROV GAMES.]

I thought we'd start off with one of my personal favorites, Space Jump, so we can use it as a warmup throughout the rest of the quarter. Everyone, get in a circle. [Once that's done, Sharpay, in SeeD uniform because that's how she rolls what she teaches in, steps into the middle of the circle.]

We start with one or two people in the middle and give them a scenario, say... practice match with gunblades. They have to improvise that scenario until someone in the circle says, "Space jump." Then they freeze, and someone from the circle comes in and changes the scenario to something else, based on the position they were frozen in. You don't tell them the new scenario; you just start improv-ing it.

It's a lot easier to understand with a demonstration. So who'd like to start? [VOLUNTEER. VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE.]

[CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Damian smirks, stepping in the middle and mimicking a fighting stance to the best of his ability.]

Ready when you are, Instructor.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Geeze you look familiar kid. Sharpay doesn't let this on and simply returns that smirk.] You alright with the example scenario?

[neverbatman]

[He nods.] More than alright.

You should be warned, though: I'm pretty good at fighting. [He even mimics the slicing of a gunblade perfectly!]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[She barely smothers a laugh.] This isn't a fighting class.

[neverbatman]

Class? Who says we're in class?

Last I checked, I'm the reigning gunblade master here. [Yeeep, he's already started the scenario.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[When she realizes this, her entire physicality changes, not just into a fighting stance with a more-or-less correct gunblade hold, but she suddenly looks significantly less confident.]

Go easy on me, okay? I just wanted to learn from you!

[neverbatman]

[He can beat her at this acting game. Definitely.]

Only if you say please!

After all, it's not every day the great Damian deigns to give lessons.

A twin? That's the first I've heard of it.

That said, I believe I may have seen your "triplet"--but only in passing in the halls.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I guess I haven't really mentioned it [this is totally intentional: she'd miss him too much if she brought him up more often], but yeah, I have a twin brother. His name's Ryan.

Ugh, was she still wearing that [cheerleader] uniform?

- Instructor Sharpay Evans

[ bbs ]

[fallacies]

Ah. I see.

And she was. Would you have rather that she switched out of it?

-Raines

[ bbs ]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Kind of, but at least it makes it easier to tell us apart. [Apparently the different hair color is not enough for her.]

- Instructor Sharpay Evans

[ bbs ]

[fallacies]

[You'd think the different hair colors would make more of a difference...]

Has Tom run into her as of yet?

-Raines

[ bbs ]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Sharpay logic is not the same as normal people logic.]

Yes. [She is not sure how she feels about this...]

I met myself. Triplets are nothing.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

You win.

[rewritethis]

Thought so.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Was everything the same, or were there differences?

From a different world, so obviously. Kept saying stuff that made no sense & didn't want to help me with research. He was pretty annoying.

BBS

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Sounds it. You have my sympathies.

I'd like to see my teammates. It's been a while since I've seen people from my world... that weren't part of the teen superhero circuit.

- Instructor Tom Bronson

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I'd like that too; I'd love to meet them. [What would they think of her...]

[werepanther]

I'm sure they'd like you. :) Uncle Jay and Uncle Alan'd always wanted me to "settle down with someone."

What are you now, a mind reader? :p

- Instructor Sharpay Evans

[PM]
Were you thinking about settling down ['with me']?

[werepanther]

[BBS]

maybe ;) it's a hidden talent

[PM]

maybe? Certainly not back home :/ I wasn't much for the whole going steady thing until I came here

Now I'm not so sure. I'm not against the idea, but I'd need to be able to support a kid before I could.

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Don't you dare mention the K-word!]

What changed?
