The Incompetent Argonian
Maid
Maid
Produced by Sounds-With-Life
Watch a take on the classic tail, written by an Argonian. See how this would of played out if the Argonian Culture was taken into account, and how a Tragedy and be turned into a Comedy.
Sounds-With-Life is seeking potential Thespians to fill the roles, the required roles are as followed. Keep in mind, roles are not limited to the races they represent. A Khajiit is free to try for the role of a Dunmer
Crantius Colto: The head of House Lustra and a horny Dunmer Male. He is considered to by the "Villain" who will attempt to seduce "Lifts-Her-Tail" and cheat on his mistress. He has become bored with his Mistress and sends her away whenever he is able.
Lady Colto: Mistress to Crantius Colto. She is fed up with the one of the houses slaves: Lifts-Her-Tail and wishes to trade her for a male worker. She is not happy with how Crantius had been treating her lately, and as a result, she is secretly involved with a Khajiit Slave: Spot Eyes.
Spot Eyes: A Khajiit Slave of the House Lustra. He is Lifts-Her-Tail's best friend and looks out for her well being. While he seems to be romantically involved with Lady Colto, he only does it because she treats him better as a result. He is truly in love with Lifts-Her-Tail.
Auditions for the play will be this Saturday and Sunday in S'ren-Ja at 8:00pm EST on Saturday and 10:00pm EST on Sunday. If you are unable to make it on either day, meet with Sounds-With-Life as soon as you can.
Please have the following lines rehearsed for the Audition, Sounds-With-Life will give the Lady Colto's line if the perticipent is trying for Crantius Colto or Spot Eyes, and Vice-Versa for the other.
- Lady Colto: Well I don't understand why I must be the one to bring the crops to Mournhold, why do you not just get that Scaleback Women to bring them.
- Crantius Colto: I am sorry, my dear, but that Scaleback most incompetent worker we have. Only good for one thing if you ask me.
- Lady Colto: Of course, how could I forget. I swear we should just trade her in for a Male Worker, they are much more efficient workers, and respond better if you ask me. I don't understand why you keep her around.
- Crantius Colto: Well, for one, she is a much better at kneading a loaf then you.
- Lady Colto: That is true I suppose. She does seem to have quite a talent for it.
- Crantius Colto: Indeed she does. Her cleaning is to standard aswell. She doesn't shed all over the floor like some other servents we have.
Out Of Character
How Auditions will work:
All chat during Auditions will be in Emote, and you will express how your character will say the line. An example of how you will say your lines will be given before the auditions.
To help speed things along, please have what you wish to say prepared before hand by typing it into a word document so you can copy and paste it. To paste a sentence in game, start typing something in chat, then press Ctrl-V. This will be a requirement for the actual performance.
How Rehearsals will work:
The rehearsals are not going to be rehearsals so to speak, but rather myself and the three others getting together to write the script. As I want the actors to insert there own character's personality into the play, this is essential. This is still primarily about the player characters, not the written characters.
When the cast is chosen, I will create a private channel on the forum where we can talk. If we can, I will also like to get the participants on Teamspeak.
When the script is written, I will send the participants the copy of it to be able to copy and paste it.
How the Performance will work
The Performance will be the actors copying and pasting a script, but emotes and effects will be added to make it more lively.
Why
This is an experiment to see if this will work. It will be simple for being the first one, but if we pull it off, I will do it again with a more spectacular performance with helpers casting spells.
