Ah, you beat me! I only got 260.

(quick @rochellaine , this is the time to beat SeekJustice 😀 )

@seekjustice I didn’t hear the timer go off. But I got about 377. 🙂

@seekjustice Okay. We shall begin then.

@catwing

Yep 🙂 I’ll put my timer on in a minute.

@seekjustice Okay! Does 15 minutes sound good?

@catwing I’m feeling super unmotivated at the moment, so a word war might be good.

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @ariel-ashira @valtmy @alia I am here. Does anyone want to word war?

@jenwriter17

I’m in need of a warring buddy too, but I won’t be here for about forty minutes.

@alia @Rochellaine @valtmy

I need to go for a bit. I might be back soon though. 🙂

@rochellaine

Not Justice, Quillon 😛 Chessy is the only one silly enough to fall in love with Justice.

@valtmy Could be all sorts of interesting, ridiculous things going on.

@alia

It was sort of implied, but nothing really major came of it, which was why I sort of deleted it 😛

@alia

Fear not, fear not. I didn’t take out Rain (she’s my favourite, I love her, I wouldn’t do that to her). What @rochellaine was referring to was simply that I took out the romance between Rain and Kendall.

@rochellaine

You say “modern ballet is weird” as if old ballet isn’t. 

@valtmy

I’m not really sure as to what sort of star crossed lovers story they’d come up with, but it would probably be like “poor girl + rich man + friends and family try to warn them of impending doom + doom falls + everyone is dead = Moral: falling in love with poor people is bad.“

@rochellaine

Well, theatre seems to be a very popular form of underground entertainment, due to the fact that it requires little in the way of money or supplies in order to put on a basic show. I’ve read about a lot of war prisoners doing theatre in order to keep themselves busy with something. I was only reading the other day about the…[Read more]

@valtmy

No worries 😀

Yes, that’s true. So they might not be performing the actual Romeo and Juliet. But since those “Star-crossed lovers” stories are so common, there’s likely to be one or two Romeo and Juliet-esque stories, I suppose.

@rochellaine

yes, I see. It’s really interesting! in the movie version of Anastasia, the ballet they see is Cinderella, I believe, and it’s not really a big deal, but I like the fact that they put such interesting symbolism in the stage version 😀

I have been in a number of ballets. Never dancing ballet, since I don’t do that, but dancing…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Chessy and Justice seem to be a polarising one. Either people love or hate it.

Everyone does like Sapphire and Quillon though.

And no, Chessy was never supposed to be particularly romantic. The romance between Justice and her wasn’t even supposed to be in the story!

@rochellaine

Well, I’d noticed the Swan Lake music in “Quartet at the Ballet” (I’ve been a dancer for too many years not to 😛 ), but I hadn’t really noticed it as an overall thing, having never seen the play itself. And yep, I do know the plot (several different versions of it, in fact).

Oh yes, I remember that story. I’ll have to dig through…[Read more]
