I need about three volunteers to help me finish up the set for the kids' Christmas play. Mostly painting and a bit of assembling. No opinions allowed, my designs are flawless.

Everyone else finish up your duties for the show?

[Henry]

What time are you doing your family Christmas shit and give me the keys to your house.

i can paint! 🎨🖌️🎬 however, i don't take directions well when i think they're wrong. 🥰🫶

[load_bearing]

Detail work? And how opinionated are you?

[spoofed]

i'm quite detail-oriented, otherwise DMs would go public whenever i pushed an update through, and i'm only opinionated when someone else's opinions are incorrect. or inadequate. 🥳

[load_bearing]

That sounds like a nightmare. The DM thing.

[....]

Fuck it, come help. We'll see if we have differing opinions, but mine are correct.

[spoofed]

then you're lucky we have such a dedicated and thoughtful admin.

why are you defensive about your opinions?

[load_bearing]

Mmhm.

Because I'm lazy and I don't want to redo anything.

[malarkeys]

Their props are All Acquired and Organized and if Anyone Messes them Up there will Be Hell.

[load_bearing]

Wow, you really mean business.

Do you want to bring them over and store them here?

[malarkeys]

I an a Professional and that doesn’t change with theater Status
Or Calibre.

And no Thank you. I said I Don’t want them lost; I have a system here.

[load_bearing]

I guess you do actually have experience in this. I'll stay out of the way, then.

[malarkeys]

Extensive in fact. What’s your Vision for this Set???

[load_bearing]

I've never seen one of your shows, actually.

Practical, mostly. Easy to put together and take apart, easy to reuse. The kids have a lot of opinions about the artistic parts but I tried to keep it manageable, so I think I'm on some of their shit lists.

[malarkeys]

You never have?? You ought to come by. They’re very good. They’re free! I won’t spoil any surprises but we’re doing something seasonal that Isn’t what the kids are doing.

Oh, actors, it’s their vision or Nothing at Any age. But there’s ways to have Both. You can make Any temporary thing look Beautiful, I’ll show you.

[load_bearing]

Never. Haven't really been a regular at Whitney. But yeah, maybe I'll come, some culture is probably good for me.

I let them all build one thing for the set, but even that wasn't enough. I think it's plenty artistic, but I'm sure you and Cal will come tell me all my mistakes.

[malarkeys]

Good! We're doing a Christmas Eve show. Not to Invite Comparison just because children don't Completely own the holiday.

I won't Yell. I'm Very accommodating of everyone's Vision actually.

[load_bearing]

If the kids can outact you I'm going to be super worried.

Have to be or I imagine you'd get in a lot of arguments?

[barrow]

[...] I'll help

[Emre]
I live next door to my ma. It's every Goddamn day

You don't need keys

[load_bearing]

[...] Thanks. I figure if we get it done today then I can just be lazy through Christmas.

[Henry]

But when are you going to be suffering at your mom's house so you won't be in yours?

Your lock broken?

[barrow]

Am i allowed to have opinions

[Emre]
I'm at the farm from morning til dinnertime at hers. But I don't got anything in there worth pawnin

No i lost my [...] just don't lock it

[load_bearing]

Probably not, but I'll consider it.

[Henry]
Not trapped doing anything else? [...] I'm adding things, not removing.

Seriously? [...] Is Lock your doors, Henry.

[.........]

Also we need to talk. But after we get through the holidays and Cihat's birthday.

Emre/Henry

[barrow]

Who's gonna come into my house? Aside from my family gettin in my business all the time and you doin whatever the fuck

We don't [...] Right. [...] It's only Christmas day i can't bail on. And i'd bail on that if only i had an excuse

Emre/Henry

[load_bearing]

What if there are drunks who want to kick your door down instead of just opening it? And keeping your family out doesn't sound like the worst idea.

That's fair. [...] You shouldn't try to find an excuse. You're l The food'll be good.

[...]

And the 'whatever the fuck' is presents.

[malting]

What are your designs?

[load_bearing]

It's all basic shit, but all practical basic shit. Modular stuff so they can shift the rooms on the set and stuff.

None of it is particularly whimsical, though.

[malting]

Sounds pretty ingenious. Glitter is for whimsy, it just needs a nice paint job.
