New Ember Island Player

In response takeda points out the line.

': Aang: We're going to run out of light any second now, aren't we? | Katara: I think so ... | Aang: Then, what are we going to do? | Katara: What can we do? || She silently walks over and grabs hold of his hand. Aang smiles up at her. The camera cuts to a close-up of Katara's face. The two are seen leaning into one another as the last of the torch light fades. Suddenly, the ceiling of the cave lights up revealing thousands of glowing crystals gleaming overhead.'

"Thanks" He said and turned once more back to the girl who would play Katara.

"We're going to run out of light any second now, aren't we?" He said to her, making use of his staff for once and holding it up in the air like a torch. He returned his gaze to her now, and awaited her line.

Shigeru paused and looked down despairingly. "I think so..." she said, her voice trailing off as the scroll had described. She stepped a little closer to the Aang actor.

(Changing characters for a moment)

Bailey had heard from other parents in the neighborhood that Takeda had fired the players and started hiring new ones. She remembered when they were younger and would go to see plays together. The memories had her walking toward the theatre before she realized where she was going. Silently, so not to disturb anyone inside, Bailey opened the front door and snuck into a seat in the back, assured no one would recognize her. I'll just watch a bit, it may not even be Takeda that is holding the auditions. She thought to herself as she watched the two actors on stage.

As the two actors on stage performed Takeda decided to test their reaction to light. Almost imperceptibly, his hands tightened on his cane. As he did this, all the lights in the theater went out except for the one lighting the stage. Those fires dimmed until it matched what a torch would put out. Above the stage hung his pride and joy. A metal and glass sheet dropped down slowly as he turned his cane, which in turn rotated a special control system he had installed when the old Players were vacationing. He lifted his index finger and a fire lite in an oil wick built into the sheet. He then waited for the right moment.

((Sorry for being late))

Shion looked at Takumen and Shigeru practicing The Lovers play, he clapped softly when it finished. He wasn't entirely sure he liked history, but history with a story behind seemed interesting. Shion found a scroll in his backpack and briefly skimmed through it. It was a scroll about the basics of firebending he found in a trader stall beautiful enough to catch his eye. It might help since he was playing Zuko, a banished fire prince.

As the lights dimmed Taku pulled the staff closer to the two of them, as if saving the last vestiges of the light. "Then, what are we going to do?" He asked Shigeru as he looked her in the eyes. he was caught up in the emotion of the play now. It took him back to the stories the monks used to tell of the avatar's adventures.

Shigeru looked into his eyes. "What can we do?" she said, and walked closer to him, placing her hands on his over the pole. She was feeling the play now, like she had in the past. She always managed to get good roles since she was good at not just playing the part, but becoming the character as well.

Takeda was proud of the two on stage. When he saw the pair take hands his grip started to tighten little by little as they completed the scene.

(he will cut the lights after tak and loo post thier next posts then the 'crystals' will start glowing.)

Bailey stayed quiet in the back of the audience, watching everything on the stage. Takeda had started to change the lighting and she recognized him instantly. He wasn't the young boy she had grown up with ten years ago. He was walking with some kind of walking stick that had somehow changed the lighting on the stage. She wondered if he would recognize her under all of her scars and burns. Scared he wouldn't know her anymore, Bailey stayed quiet in her seat.
