Puddleby Players Interview

Illora Mone has interviewed the Puddleby Players for TMN.

Dear Para,

Some time ago you asked me to conduct another interview, and I finally pinned down the Puddleby Players long enough to get them to answer a few questions.

Illora Mone says, "first of all, I'd like to congratulate you on your association"
Measle says, "Thank you very much"
Illora Mone says, "I know you've been waiting for it for a long time"
Measle says, "Well our former member Largo was the one always pushing for it"
Miug says, "a pity he is not here to see his dream fulfilled"
Measle says, "Seems ironic that it finally happens after he leaves the lands"
Starsword Eojek says, "poor largo."
Illora Mone asks, "What do you plan to do with your association now?"
Measle says, "Maybe use it as a carrot to get more members"
Measle says, "We're not a hunting group or a clan"
Illora Mone says, "more actors would always be good"
Measle says, "So the association semed the best way to legitimise our group"
Measle says, "Yes"
Measle says, "Anyone able to dedicate an hour a week is more than welcome"
Measle says, "Particularly phantasmers"
Measle says, "We'd like to add more special effects to our plays"
(Starsword Eojek will dedicate more than an hour a week, when it comes to drawing stuff, cus that's how long it takes... but it averages out to an hour a week.)
Measle says, "yes Stars over there is helping us with technical things"
Illora Mone asks, "Are you planning to have more than just actors, then?"
(Starsword Eojek is a stagehand)
Measle says, "He's made a big change for our next play"
Illora Mone says, "Tell me about your next play."
Measle says, "But I won't reveal Stars's contribution yet"
Illora Mone says, "All of you star, I expect"
Measle says, "Saving it for the performance"
Measle says, "Miug is the star of the next show, undoubtedly"
Measle says, "She is onstage for the entire time"
Miug ponders, "I never get a break"
Measle says, "And it all revolves around her character"
Illora Mone asks, "So, Miug leaked to Paramedic already that this play has a Skirwan?"
Measle says, "It does indeed"
(Miug): Skirwan waves
Measle says, "Our heroine is Skirwan the Thoom"
(Inu Teisei): Someone else waves
Measle says, "She's turned up in such bizarre places..."
Measle says, "...we wanted to show why and how"
Measle says, "She's led quite a life"
Measle says, "Albeit a fictional one"
Illora Mone exclaims, "I can imagine!"
Measle says, "We've gone for a pulp noir approach for this play"
Measle says, "The Halfling was an action adventure"
Measle says, "Manticore was a courrtroom historical drama"
Measle says, "And Zomeo and Thoomiet was a comedy"
Measle says, "So a hard boiled crime things seemed the next step"
Measle says, "It's mostly set in the seedy underbelly of KI"
Measle says, "Where she encounters people like Mujin-Kun and Fat Alice"
Illora Mone asks, "any claws?"
Measle says, "Yes, free lyfe claws to everyone that gives us a good review"
Measle says, "Would you and your readers like to see some of the action, Illora"
Illora Mone says, "certainly, slip me a snippet"
Pun'isher asks, "will pun be doing standup?"
Measle says, "And... unfortunately, Pun's stand up"
Pun'isher says, "i want to try something different"
Pun'isher says, "the unstandup"
Pun'isher says, "of course I will be seated"
Pun'isher says, "but still torturing"
Pun'isher says, "moohahaha"
Inu Teisei says, "badum dum"
Measle asks, "Maybe juggling?"
Pun'isher says, "my performance will be chairished"
Illora Mone ponders, "noo don't pun me"
Pun'isher says, "it will be thrill of victory..the agony of deseat"
Miug asks, "so, what do we perform for Illora?"
Measle says, "Why not perform the whole thing and Illora can choose snippets"
Measle says, "It's rehearsal time"

The play is still tentatively scheduled for the end of May, possibly in Pacific primetime. Measle wishes to remind Puddleby that all are welcome to audition for the Players by coming to rehearsals once a week at 8pm Pacific on Thursdays.
