The Boards - Tues - 6/24

Did you think that perhaps, after a weekend stuck in his worst nightmare that Geoffrey would take the time off to make sure that he's mentally equipped for practice?

Screw that.

Geoffrey's got the sign up, he's moving around some things, and he's showing the cast the new 'props' he'd made. Which didn't amount to much, but he had been a bit busy this week.

He's got a rock and a table. And he'd figured out that one of the lighting areas off to one side might be large enough for him to get an actor up there for addressing a crowd.

"So. Today? We're going to work on our blocking. I've been pretty lenient about letting you all get into your characters and deal with the text, but we're getting down to the practicalities of the stage. So! On the stage, now."

[ocd will be up!]

"And where are these alleged cupcakes?"

"Would you like to place a bet on whether I actually have any or not?"

"Oh, that's right. The betting." Cal said with a grin. "Same terms as last time? I win, I pick, you win, you pick?"

Amber nodded. "Same as before."

And? She was trying to think fast. For lo and behold, there were no cupcakes here. Not that she specified to him just where the cupcakes were, so she did have that playing in her favor.

Cal nodded a little. "Okay, then. I'll bet you...whatever...that you don't actually have any cupcakes. I'm calling your bluff." Mostly because their just now existence held them suspect.

"But I do have cupcakes," she told him. "They're uh, just not here presently."

"Are they in your room?" Cal asked, giving Amber a look that made it clear that if she was going to skirt details, then he'd counter right back. He couldn't lose two bets in a row.

"Not... exactly. They are waitin' for me to pick them up. And share them with nice people like you." She blinked.

Re: Off Stage

"If they're waiting to be picked up," Cal pointed out, "then they're not technically yours yet. And I thought you said I don't get any?"

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Crap. "Yah, they are. They just don't know it yet. And... I can be swayed to share."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] not-a-mused.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure," Cal muttered wryly, "that they have to already be yours for it to count, Amber. Either with you now or in your room."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she knew that. She was just testing his betting ability with his common sense. Seems he's doing pretty good. Uh.

She cleared her throat and studied the ball of paper in her hand. "Uh.'

"You're going to have to give me a second," Cal said with a triumphant sort of grin on his face. "I need to think of something good for my winnings."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bet my bet will still top whatever you can come up with." Yeah, that was about the smartest thing she could think of to say.

"That doesn't work; that's all objective. Of course I'm going to think mine's better and you're going to think yours is."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well that point is rather moot considerin' you still haven't come up with anythin', uh?"

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] not-a-mused.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
"How about," Cal proposed, "since your deal had to do with me coming in and getting soaps from you at work those two days, this time, you have to bring me cupcakes at work for two days."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Amber giggled. "That's your bet? But that's so easy, Cal. Not that I'm complainin', cause I'm not. Just... easy."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] not-a-mused.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
"And coming in to buy soaps wasn't? You've got to start out small. I'll work my way up when I win again."

Re: Off Stage

"I'm so glad 'if' is such a very big word. I... let you win on purpose, just to make you feel good." Yeah, it was a lie, but it sure sounded pretty.

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] not-a-mused.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
"When," Cal said with a pointed look. "And I'm sure you did. Keep on believing that, Amber, maybe it'll come true. By the way, I like chocolate best."

Re: Off Stage

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
"When, if, whatever," she grinned cheekily, staring at him. How easy was it to like Cal? She had no idea why Ino had such a problem with him. She briefly wondered if he would allow her to practice rehearsing with him; the seduction part. Amber had such a hard time getting that. Uh.

"Chocolate is my favorite too."

"Too bad they'll be my cupcakes then," Cal teased, straightening importantly, triumphantly.

"Not if I buy like, a dozen," she retored with a chuckle. "And when does this bet start? Tomorrow?"

"Thursday, when I work next."
