New Ember Island Player

He looks up at her face as the lights grow even dimmer. A smile spreads across his face gently as he begins to lean in close to her, his hand tightening on the staff. He had always sought to be like Aang and now he, at least in this play, could be him even if it was just for the entertainment of others.

Bailey stood as the scene seemed to come to an end and started to clap for them. She stayed where she was, not wanting to fully interrupt the group.

Shigeru leaned in closer as well. She noticed out of the corner of her eye the dimming of the light, and when it was completely dark, she pulled back again. She had been mere inches from his face at the time, and was relieved to get farther away from the awkward moment. She wasn't sure if he was planning on kissing her, or if he was just going to do the same thing she did. She couldn't tell in the dark. She just waited for whatever other lighting effects Takeda had in mind for the glowing crystals.

when a few seconds of darkness had passed, Takeda lifted his index finger and the fire he had lit earlier turned green and started rolling above the metal and glass bathing the actors in light. He heard clapping and lost control of the effects (changing the color was not an easy task you know) and the room was bathed in darkness once again. Takeda snapped his fingers and fire flew to the lamps and burned far brighter than they needed to. 

''Who is there?'' he shouted ''The theater is closed so unless you are a poten- Bailey?''

Bailey gasped as she realized that Takeda had heard her and stopped clapping. Takeda had recognized her after so many years. Her joy for finding her friend had her moving out of the chairs and toward him. "It's been years since my eyes have seen you, Takeda. I had thought maybe you wouldn't recognize me after so long." Bailey smiled as she walked to him. "I must admit, the cane is a good addition. Makes you stand tall for once."

''Broken leg dearie.'' he replied ''Broke it the night your parents...'' Takeda trailed off realising this might be a painful subject for her.

''How about we go somewhere a bit more private, hmm?'' he asked holding his arm out like a gentleman. ''Oh, Takumen. You are hired. The rest of the day is yours to do as you please.''

(goludu will be away for a while practice whatever scenes you wish talk about what you want. just dont mess with lighting. without goludu all you can do is dim lights)

Shigeru smiled. Takeda and this woman obviously had some history, and felt that they ought to recieve the privacy to catch up. Shigeru knew that Takeda had been traviling for some time, but she didn't know how long. She didn't know too much about his past at all, really. As the two of them walked out, Shigeru turned to the group. "Well, that leaves the four of us here! What do you guys want to do? Maybe go grab some lunch? I hear that there are some great restaurants around here," she said. She didn't want to sit in this theater all day and do nothing, and it was a nice day as well. She wanted to take a look around the island, maybe meet some of the locals and learn a bit about the islands history. "So? What do you say?" she asked all of them.

Shion eyed both his manager and the newcomer went out of the stage, "They seemed intimate, are they old friends?" He averted toward the group. "You played well!" Shion complementing Shigeru and Takumen openly, the practice was over he could clap as loud as he wanted. Shion’s face lit up after hearing Shigeru’s suggestion, "Sure, lets! A bit of relaxation wouldn’t cause us harm, would they? And let’s find a great restaurant with cheap food," Shion smiled bitterly, "At least cheaper than what I got in my wallet." He scanned the group for approval.

(Changing back to Clarissa for the rest of the Topic)

Clarissa began to clap when she heard someone else clapping, unsure of what had happened. The stage held her too high over the ground for her to see the best, but she could tell where the other actors were. The newcomer's presence didn't bother her and she smiled as Mr. Goludu walked out with the woman. "They seem like good friends to me." Clarissa replied, walking forward to meet up with the group on the stage. "Oh. Food sounds like an excellent idea." She smiled at everyone as her stomach growled a little.

"I wouldn't mind some food..." Taku said as he trailed off near the end. He had forgotten why he had taken this job in the first place, he was broke. He may have wanted to travel like the avatar, but he was not one and did not receive aid where ever he went.
His face turned red with embarrassment as he now made for the exit. On second thought, maybe I'll just explore the island a bit." He said, making up a lame excuse.
