New Opera Rehearsals

[Christine]

*Being a true professional, Christine resolves to learn her lines and songs overnight. She smiles at the director, then takes the script and begins to read furiousley*

[Ed Wood]

*Ed claps his hands and the cast disperses. It would be his best production ever! He just knew it! He smiled his best self-satisfied smile and looked down, to where his new ingenue was intently studying her script. She was rather pretty, he thought. He liked blonds, after all. And this girl was all class. And so sweet. He bet she'd gladly sew booties for Bela if she knew him.

He walked over to her and waited for her to look up.*

"Do you like haunted houses?" *he asked.*



((My new band name will be Booties for Bela. It is decided.))

[Christine]

"You mean, aside from the Opera House?"

*She smiled*

"What did you have in mind?"

[Ed Wood]

*Ed blinked at her.* "Why, the Opera House! Of course! I've heard it's haunted. And I've always felt that haunted houses, and scary movies, was the best way to... er... get to know someone new." *He smiles charmingly at her.* "Care to take a turn through some cellars with me?"

[Christine]

*Christine felt a chill when she thought of the danger they could be walking into. She smiled gently, then looked away.*

"This isn't easy for me, but I really like you and I think you should know something about me."

*She took a deep breath*

"I'm being watched over by the ghost."

[Ed Wood]

((Hey, thanks!))

*Ed tried to keep the excitement out of his voice.*

"Really?" *He almost squeaked. It was too fantastic; a beautiful woman, plauged by a ghost! It was just like in the movies.

Perfect.*

"Miss Daae, I have something I should tell you, too. I've never told anyone at a first rehearsal before, but I really like you, and I think you should know. I like to wear women's clothing."

[Christine]

*Christine was surprised. She thought for a moment before answering. It was undeniably strange, but at least he hadn't tried to hide it from her.*

"Does this mean you aren't attracted to girls?"

[Ed Wood]

*Ed shook his head vehemently.*

"Oh no, I love girls! Wearing their clothing makes me feel closer to them," *he explained happily.*

[Christine]

*Once again, Christine thought for a moment.*

"Well," *she finally said*, "alright."

[Ed Wood]

*Ed's face broke out into a wide grin. It made him look very foolish, but on him foolish seemed endearing.*

"Perfect," *he said.* "You don't happen to like angora, do you?"

[Lune]

*Lune ((whom I think was already in the room)) watched as a beautiful woman talked to a guy who recently almost was killed by a snake. She thought to herself how interesting this opera would be. She glanced one last time at the two, she thought she heard something about he love wearing women's clothing. Though deciding that ignoring that part was for the best, she continued looking at her script.*

[Christine]

"Well", *she responded uncertainly*, "it's rather expensive..."

[Ed Wood]

*Ed waved his hand.* "It doesn't matter," *he said.* "Never mind."

*He stood, beaming at her, for an uncomfortably long time.*

"Has anyone ever told you you should be in the movies?"

[de Chenevier]

*Blanchette slunk into rehearsals, intent on watching these humans go about their business. The energetic man talking to the woman with light hair was extremely entertaining. she slipped over there and rubbed herself up against the energetic man's legs.*
