I am the electrician, working on figuring out how many of the other people it will take to screw in a lightbulb.
Help the guy up, then carry on cleaning and screw in the lightbulb for Dustan.
Dustan wanders the halls, finds a socket with no bulb, and ponders. He thinks it would take at least [4] people to screw in this light bulb. Fish has other ideas, however. He [6] easily procures a light bulb from another socket somewhere, and [4] balances precariously on a chair. [6] All goes extremely well, and soon the hall is bathed in a beautiful green light. Lovely. The green perfectly accentuates Jean's drunken stupor as he raves about that one co-star he hooked up with back in high school.
Perhaps knowing how to write musical notation would help, but the Playwright will not let this stop him.
Instead he will sing the most important parts on his own, writing them out by intuition as they come into his mind!
Some overlap will be there, of course. It's kind of like recording an album, but more artistically interpretive.
[5] Surprisingly, the technique pays off, and the Playwright quickly scribbles out enough to pass as a first act.
Begin practicing with one of my instruments.
Solomon pulls out his [RIG USED] Bongos! [4] Some fitful slapping later, he feel sort of better about his abilities. [PRACTICED]
Sew some dicks on the costumes. Small, hard to see dicks.
Jay begins to sew [6] EXTREMELY vigorously. There are now rather large dicks all over a bunch of the period costumes. How very Modern.
Find a hiding place or a disguise backstage. Avoid each and every female, as well as anyone who looks like they have connections in the music world, at all costs.
You sneak along, and slip into the costume room where Jay is [6] (Sneaking) vs. [3] (Noticing) Sewing too vigorously to care! Browsing the shelves, you find a mask at random, and put it on! [1] Unfortunately, you have chosen the Limited Edition Bert Curtis Scandal 2015 Commemorative Mask
(tm). It seems to be stuck, too. It's not coming off unless your ears come with it.
First I check to make sure the lights are working and then ask around for some snacks or something.
Rita decides to the responsible one in the theatre, and checks on the stage lighting. [2] It's.... working? Sort of. Some of it doesn't always turn on when you ask it to, and someone swiped a green bulb from backstage. Weird. Next, she looks around for some snacks, [3] the strange drunk doesn't know where they are, but a quick search [1] turns up some potato chips, which she quickly devours! Now everything tastes like rancid fat. Wonderful. She is [Sick]. Luckily, she manages to keep her 'lunch' down this turn.
Time to rehearse! Let's start by practising looking like a real drunken alcoholic, by stumbling through the hallways drunkely raving at people we pass by.
[4+1=5] You believe this to be some of the best Acting you have ever done. The rants and raves are some of your most believable yet, and you manage to rant at Fish and Rita!
The Producers [2] are NOT happy with the state of the place! A quick visit to the Playwright procures the script, which is quickly passed off to Jean, who is told to learn lines, and learn them fast! They schedule a rehearsal in [2 turns]. And, they want this production ready to roll in [8 turns].
The Budget [4] decreases slightly, by [5]x1=$5.
