Perhaps an Hour has passed when Flatbeard walks though the theatre doors again.
"About time you got back!" The Director exclaims. He hands Flatbeard the script the the Spaniard had left behind, and points him toward the dressing room, "You have an hour before reheresal."
"No need to worry," Flatbeard assures, "I shall have my lines memorized. Rest assured of that."
Flatbeard takes the script, and strides off toward the dressing room. The Director sighs, and takes a few moments to check the stage settings and make sure the ropes and pulleys were in proper order. The he sits down, and reviews the bit of script that he wishes to reherse.
However, the sound of the theatre doors opening again catches his ears. He looks back to see three people walking down the aisle toward him. One is a tall, broadly built man in his mid thirties, wearing the robes of a White Mage and Sea Captain's Hat. Beside him is a tall, attractive woman in her late teens, with bright orange hair. She wears comfortable clothing, leather armour, and carries an axe and a spear. Skipping before them an odd sort of demi-human, a child of about seven years with resembling a nekojin with enormous rabbit-like ears; a cabbit, he recognizes.
"I'm afraid all the main parts are filled," the Director points out, as he stands to meet the newcomers.
"We're here fer tickets, matey," answers the man in the robes.
"I've heard this will be a really good play," Calliope adds. "I'm looking forward to it."
"There is a vendor outside," the director explains patiently, rubbing his forehead. As he does, the cabbit child skips past him and climbs onto the stage. "Hey!" he shouts, "Get away from that! Some of those props are delicate!"
The Cabbit doesn't listen, as she stands in the middle of the stage and sings, "Meow meow meow! Mya meow, mya mya meow!"
The Robed man watches with a bemused smile of a proud father, as woman seems taken by the kawaiiness of the whole scene. "Ye havin' fun, Ushyu?" asks the seaman. Ushyu answers with an enthusiastic nod, prompting him to ask, "Would ye like a small part in th' show?"
"Mreow!" Ushyu answers, smiling widely.
"Hey, matey," say the seaman softly as he leans down by the Director, "Mind givin' my friend there a part as an extra 'r two? She dun speak, but she listens pretty well, eh?"
