"Indeed." *Vincent added.* "It is nice to make your acquaintance. I'm Vincent Price."

"A pleasure," Kitty returned, smiling, and even went so far as to blow him a kiss (Ed, too, to be fair). Hey, it was part of her public persona.
She'd never heard of him, but that was hardly surprising, considering that back in her London he hadn't been born yet. "Oh, by the way...can anyone tell me just how these productions work? I'm not familiar, though I'm sure I'll be able to act."

Valmont needed a distraction.
In point of fact, he probably needed several, and a new wig (while very becoming) was not going to be sufficient. No, he needed new society, new conquests. He'd heard that community theatre was a good place for both, and while it meant lowering himself a little there were many times in which slumming was a good cause.
He entered the auditorium in his customary finery and haughty demeanor, and a little man with a funny run came over and introduced himself as the director, smiling far too broadly and being altogether too friendly for it to be real.
Valmont sniffed, noticed several very pretty girls--one of them was a mouse and one was a child, but he wasn't picky--and decided to stay.
"Sebastien de Valmont," he announced himself. "I'm here for your little play."

Ed noticed two things about Valmont: he was commanding, and he was rich.
"You're all hired!" he cried happily, turning to the less-than-crowd that had gathered. "That is, if Miss Mary approves."

Kitty's question was interrupted when she saw someone enter, and she raised an eyebrow, noting that if everyone here acted as well as they looked and dressed, this was sure to be a smash hit.
((Er, Kitty is a mouse, actually...the name is ironic.))

Mary was immediately struck by the same things which Ed had noticed about Valmont, and in addition the fact that he wasn't half bad looking, either. She turned and glanced over everyone that had gathered, wringing her hands lightly in excitement. "Oh, I definitely approve!"

*Vincent nodded approvingly, not that he had a say, but happy to be back in the thick of things. It was strange to realize that he had been out of it for so long. His grip tightened on the script.*
"So where were you looking to start?" *He questioned in the general direction of Ed and Mary.*

Mary turned, hearing his voice, and glanced around once more. Well, that was enough people to start with, she figured.
"Hmm...well, let's try to get everyone involved at once. How about this sequence here with the sacrifice, starting from where Jezebel orders her servants to make ready, and then calls in Elijah?"

Ed clapped his hands.
"Great!" he said. "Vincent, you play Elijah, for now. Mister de Valmont, how about you take Baal? Christine, you have your part and Kitty... You just read for the other servants, for now. Sound good?"
He beamed at everyone present.

Clearing her throat, Mary took out her script, just checking that she'd got the new scene down. Okay, she was ready. "What do I care for their worship? Why should I be forced to bend the knee to a foreign god? Is it not enough that I should be married to a foreign prince? Servants! Bring me the incense and my prayer beads--we shall have a real service here tonight," she muttered, turning to Christine and Kitty. ((Oh, and just for fun, hear her voice here: au.youtube.com/watch?v=KUtLTxBYZHw.))

*Vincent flipped through the script quickly, checking for the cues to his entrance.*

Kitty, having gotten back onstage, read the copy of the script she'd grabbed in sitting down.
"Of course, milady," she replied, meekly, and sounding genuinely nervous, and, casting a glance back as she turned, bowed low and hurried behind the curtain till her next cue.

Edward beamed at them all, mouthing the lines (especially the ones he'd written for Christine). It was clear that no one present could do wrong in his eyes. When the scene was done, including a rather banal but admirably snooty reading from Valmont, tears shone in Edward's eyes.
"Perfect," he said softly.

Mary finished up the scene with panache, setting the script down and sighing in both happiness and relief. "That...that was fun. I haven't had that much of a good time in a long time, and that was just the audition...you really think I did well? I hope so...oh, and everyone else, great job, too!"
