| The party space had all the markers of a Jeana party: twinkly lights, music, dark corners, excellent dance space, and many, many bottles for spinning. Since we're not party logging, this is just to establish that this event happened, and what occurred there, so Cici can gossip about it later. RIP Virginities! |

After the background, he had everyone split up into groups: the tech crew, the Athenians (Theseus, Hippolyta, Egeus, Lysander, Demetrus, Hermia, Helena and Philostrate), the Fae (Oberon, Titania, Puck, Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustardseed) and the Mechanicals (Peter Quince, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Robin Starveling, Tom Snout and Snug the Joiner). He had the tech crew begin brainstorming the things they would need to develop for the show. He had each of the groups of actors go through their lines and rewrite them in modern English, to help reading comprehension. They were encouraged to help each other with their translations. When everyone had finished their interpretations, he organized everyone into a large circle, and they did a read through of the original text, hopefully using the understanding they had gained from their translations. |
| With Professor Fontail and probably Devin's help, Tim had set up the classroom to look hospitable, with lots of big cushions and chairs and things, and lugged a some crates of records in. There's a record player, a piano, and a few other instruments in a corner, as well as some snacks. Tim looked very nervous but also excited to start up the meeting, and waited even for people who were late to begin. When Tim saw that everyone had sat down he gave a little talk to the effect of, "Hi! I'm um. Tim, if you didn't know. I'm really happy you guys all wanted to join the club. It's going to be really fun, I hope, and we can kind of make it into, um, basically whatever we want it to be. Which is pretty cool. So I have a bunch of records here, most of them are mine but a lot of them are Neil's (thanks, Neil), and uh, I thought we could put one on? Does anyone want to start?" Tim left the floor open for people to put on the (approved by Dumbledore) records, and play music if they wanted it. Discussion veered away from music a lot of the time, but Tim gently tried to bring it back when it went on particularly strange tangents. Professor Fontail went off to go commune with spirits or something in the middle of the first song, saying she'd be back soon, and left the club to their own devices. She reappeared only towards the tail end of the meeting. |
