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?!!?

Well, I never liked politics all that much.

And I'm afraid I never watched many musicals. My student favoured them more than I did.

[pabugotmoves]

Hmm maybe I can entice you.

Do you like love stories? Filled with adventure and challenge and weird science?

[jedies]

While I can't speak for love, that just sounds like my regular life.

[pabugotmoves]

Ah, I see. A real method man.

Can I tempt you into reading for a part, sir? You've got the chops, I can tell. Can you sing? How buff are you on a scale of one to ten.

[jedies]

[ er. ]

I suppose it can't hurt . . . I'm not sure about the other criteria though.

[pabugotmoves]

Uhhuh.. okay. Follow up. Would you say you're drawn more towards the dramatic? Or do you prefer to play it safe?

And follow up to the follow up, what are your thoughts on capes and makeup?

[jedies]

I enjoy a good cape now and then.

But I'm sure you can find younger, more talented actors for your musical.

[pabugotmoves]

Sir, no I can not. And anyway, age has nothing to do with it.

In fact, I'm looking for our Frank and he's got to be...fff.. I dunno. Thirty five? Forty? He's like the main guy. Frank needs to be embodied by an adult. A man with strong convictions and honor. A man who cares about his people..with an aesthetic eye and a guiding hand. Who stops at nothing to achieve his goals despite the naysayers!

[jedies]

[ well. obi-wan can't say he doesn't fit the bill. ]

All right, but I'm not making any promises.

[pabugotmoves]

Yes! Alright! [Bolin punches the air with excitement.]

No pressure, no pressure, bit I think you could be great.

Here let me juuust.. Did you get that?

[File attachment: Script.doc]

[jedies]

I did, not to worry.

I'll get to it soon.

[pabugotmoves]

You're the best.

[jedies]

Don't give me too much credit just yet. I could be awful on stage.

[pabugotmoves]

Nah, I think you're gonna be great. You've got moxie, I can feel it.

[jedies]

"Moxie"?

[pabugotmoves]

Vigor! Va va voom! A man who gets stuff done and crushes the effort.

What was your name again?

[jedies]

[ kids these days . . . ]

Ah, I am Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[pabugotmoves]

Wow.. what a name. Obi-Wan Kenobi. [panning his hand across the screen like it's up on a billboard]

I can see it in lights, can't you?

[jedies]

I really hope so. That seems like a bit much.

[pabugotmoves]

Naaaah, that's star power, baby

[jedies]

[ hmm. ]

Out of curiosity, are you acting in this?

[pabugotmoves]

Uh, maybe. No one wants to audition for Rocky so I might have to.

[jedies]

What does being Rocky entail?

[pabugotmoves]

Well.. not much, actually. He's the man Dr. Frank is building so he's supposed to be perfect. He doesn't talk very much and he only has one song and he isn't really in it all that much. But there's a skimpy costume so no one wants to be him.

[jedies]

That does make it tricky.

But perhaps you could modify the role to allow for other comers?
