Video; UN: Bolin!

[pabugotmoves]

Hello everyone! Ladies and Gentlemen and.. people who aren't either but.. are other things I guess- ANYWAY! I'm Bolin, you might know me, I was in Deerington for a little while before we made the journey here. Mako's brother, earthbender, at your service.

[Bright! Excited! He's got so much to say and it's all great!! Bolin is sitting in a booth in The Raccoon Room, it's all very fancy and newly opened as you might remember from the big party on Halloween. Heck, you might have seen him there performing tricks with his omen Pabu the fire ferret, who is currently draped around the back of Bolin's neck like a scarf, only mildly interested in what's happening but squeaks every time Bolin gesticulates particularly big.]

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to the Raccoon Room's opening night, it was great and I know it meant the world to Mako and Wu. And hey, if you had fun you should come back which is what brings me to my next point!

We're gonna do a musical.

[Jazz handssssssss! His eyes are very bright. Is this a good thing? Should you be worried? Remains to be seen.]

Wu has asked me to direct it, with music by Ryan from Chicken Choice Judy aand I know what you're thinking: Oh- Bolin [In falsetto, because that's how you all sound and you know it.] but a musical we don't know-

Wrong-o, it is going to be amazing and you're all going to love it. So good news, we're casting!

There's going to be auditions.. and costumes and music! And sets! It's going to be like a live action mover with songs, I can't actually think of anything better.

So, if you're interested in being a part of the show and auditioning or getting on the crew, drop me your name, questions, and deets and welcome to Trench's very first musical production ooffffffffff wait for itttttttttt?!!?

I've never been to a musical before! [Weirdly.]

[pabugotmoves]

Hey- that's okay neither have I, it's gonna be amazing!

I have seen a musical before. No, No, Nanette I believe it was called? It was very lively and colourful. It will be intriguing to see one with a horror theme.

I do wish you luck in your endeavor.

[pabugotmoves]

[Oh no. Text. Panic. Quick- ultra formal: go!]

Greetings kind fellow!

I have never heard of this musical but I shall endeavor to find out more about it.

Our production of Rocky Horror is set to be the debut of the ages and I would be very grateful for your attendance.

Many thanks and kind regards!

Bolin,
Director.

Is that like an opera?! I quite like those!

[Hello, hi, she's from the past, she's into hot new composers like Beethoven.]

[pabugotmoves]

[Well hello Miss Dirk.]

Ooh.. uuuuhhhhhh. Maybe?

You know I never had the money to go to an opera, but maybe! Yeah, let's go with maybe.

Rocky Horror Picture Show...? What's that about?

[pabugotmoves]

Asami! Oh man, can you sing? I've got such a good part for you if you can.

Okay.. okay so the scene is set. On a dark and rainy night two beautiful lovebirds are driving and their Satomobile breaks down. They need help! They're wet! It's raining!

The nearest house is a huge, spooky mansion and they come across a party, hosted by the great Dr. Frankenfurter. [He is not aware that it is Frank N. Furter]

But!! BUT!!! He is a crazy scientist! And he's building the perfect man. Our lovers discover his plans and chaos erupts as they're drawn into his madness! And they like it. It's got drama! Adventure! Love! It's everything.

[She beams when she sees him - she hasn't managed to see him in person yet.]

Bolin! That sounds like a great idea. Question: What's a Rocky Horror?

Better question: how have you been?!

[pabugotmoves]

Korra!!!

I'm sorry I haven't really been around. I wasn't feeling too good and then we were working on the venue and now I'm trying to figure all this out. Here I am complaining that my friends are always busy and it was me this time!

I'll do better!

[eudaimonikos]

Oh! That's the one where people throw things at each other, right?

[CAN MICHAEL BE THE CRIMINOLOGIST]

[pabugotmoves]

Not at each other but.. there is some throwing, yeah.

... sir have you ever acted before?

[royalfling]

Oh, boy, I'm so excited for this, Bolin!

Now, I'm going to audition and you are under no requirement to cast me if I'm not right for the role.

[ Except he really, really wants the role. Which role?! We'll see. ]

Has anyone said they're going to audition?! Did you find a recording so we can see what we're getting into?

[He grins and rummages around for a very large stack of papers to show proudly]

Uhhuh, I did and I wrote it all down so now we have a script!

[Did he have subtitles on? No. Is it a good transposition? Also no.]

A few people have expressed some interest and don't worry, everyone is gonna audition exactly the same.

[arclightning]

[ He's so excited, and Wu is going to love this so much, it's no wonder he's barely been able to stop talking about the future of the Raccoon Room. ]

Wow. Look at my little brother, making it all the way to director. Producer? How big-shot are you these days, huh?

[pabugotmoves]

Ha! I know, right?

Mako, this could be it. This could be my calling!

[thunderingcourage]

This sounds like something Mina-chan would love. If she auditions you totally have to cast her, she has an amazing voice.

[pabugotmoves]

Makoto! Makooooo Mako! For sure! Send her my way.

What about you?

[cuddlery]

Oh hey! You're that guy with the furry friend!

[There's one scorpion lady who watched him at the Raccoon Room, and she also sang there herself!]

Y'know, I have heard of musicals before. I know that there's singing involved. And singing is - I've been making that one of my things here. So, uh... [There's a beat, as she wonders how to ask this.] ...Can I do that? My name's Scorpia!

[pabugotmoves]

[Oh no. Buff, awesome lady. He's helpless to your charm, Scorpia. Does he know how to talk to women without being weird? No. Does he still try? Yes. I'm so sorry.]

Well, Scorpia, you are in luck, tootsie. We need singing performers and you got the hot stuff, tch tch! [A wink and finger guns? You bettcha.]

I'll forward you a copy of the script and if you like what you see let me know.

Oh-oh-oh! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!

I could totally work on the crew! I can build things for special effects.

I have all kinds of things to show I'm good at it.

I dunno, Ruby. This show has to be more than spying on people in their underwear.

a horror musical sounds rad, dude

[Having never heard of Rocky Horror before, he's absolutely assuming it's horror-themed, which means it sounds awesome.]

if you need help building and lifting stuff and whatev i'm pretty good at it

[pabugotmoves]

You're right! It's going to be so rad.

Like my friend Chuck says, we're going to thrash this bitch!

I'm going to loop you in with our production designer @ asamisato she's going to running point on sets.

Welcome to the team!

Ooooh, a horror musical? Now that's going to be quite the novel idea. Certainly fitting for what we live through.

[She laughed a little. Vira-Lorr had literally no idea what this film was.]

[pabugotmoves]

Well here's a great part! It is horror, but not really. Yes.. and also no?

It's more like uhhhhh like a foray into human nature and self expression. The motto is don't dream it, be it!

[Nailed it.]

Rocky Horror, huh? Time to do the Time Warp, amirite?

What in the world is 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'?

Yesssssss

[pabugotmoves]

Okay WELL so the scene is set. On a dark and rainy night ooohhh ahhhhh two beautiful, newly engaged lovebirds are driving and their Satomobile breaks down. They need help! They're wet! It's raining!

The nearest house is a huge, spooky mansion and they come across a party, hosted by the great Dr. Frankenfurter.

But!! BUT!!! He is a crazy scientist! And he's building the perfect man. Our lovers discover his plans and chaos erupts as they're drawn into his madness! And they like it. It's got drama! Adventure! Love, betrayal, aliens from outer space! It's everything.

[ .. This is Mako's brother?

Talk about a day and night difference, Ange thinks, though there's no longer any surprise when she's visible to reply to the post. She's got her perfect pokerface in place, thanks. ]

How do you already know if everyone is going to love it? That's a pretty bold claim.

[pabugotmoves]

[You say that every time they talk. You just gotta go with the flow, girl. Get groovy with the good times, c'mon now.]

Oh Ange. Sweet, sweet Ange. Let me count the ways. It's maybe one of the best stories I've ever heard? And I'm a professional so I know.

[droptheious]

Those words don't feel like they go together to string a coherent sentence. I mean, I know what a picture show is, and I know what a horror is- but what's the Rocky part?

...

Is it an earthbending thing? Is this just a really elaborate pun?

[pabugotmoves]

HA! I didn't even think about that oh man! Maybe I should play Rocky!

Do you really want to know about the story?

( video | un: kenobi )

[jedies]

[ well, he can't say the name inspires much in him but anakin always liked these kinds of things. obi-wan has only ever appreciated them in passing, but he has always been a firm believer of the arts. ]

Very impressive. Are you sure you can manage it? I hear these things can be incredibly time consuming.

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin just shrugs and chooses not to read that as the stranger being critical. He's used to being challenged.]

Well. Why not? I have nothing else to do and I was an actor before I was in the army. This show has my total focus and commitment!

Wait wait

Who introduced you to the Rocky Horror show?

[pabugotmoves]

Good morrow sir!

Twas the musical superstar Ryan! Prayhaps you've heard of him?

Kind regards,

[catchatting]

I recently performed Shakespeare for the actual Shakespeare. I'm in.

[pabugotmoves]

[People who do not know Bolin and make the mistake of texting him.. He is... I am so sorry.]

Dearest Lady Dragongirl,

I must admit I knowest not of whom you speak but, any bard who performs the work of the writer for them must be in possession of an exceptional talent. We here at the Rocky Horror production team would be honored to have you audition.

Are you familiar with the source material?

It matters not, but out of curiosity are you a real dragon? If yes that is fine, we would be more than happy to adapt the sets and costumes for your size.

Kind regards,
Bolin
Producer/Director

[Ryan's been watching the reactions roll in, reveling in the little bit of chaos he's helped cause.]

This is going to be the best musical ever. I wonder if we can get people to do the crowd stuff? I think most of the city's probably Rocky Horror virgins...

[A pause and then--]

Wait. Did I actually tell you about the crowd stuff or did I only think about telling you about it?

[pabugotmoves]

Ryan! There you are, buddy. Head of music, head conductor man and potential fellow castmateee.

Wait what crowd stuff?

Follow up, what um. What about being a virgin?
