Jake is so not that mean. >=D

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd should be the Prince of Cats! Sheesh!

[boy-not-lost.livejournal.com]

>=D He'd be better at it.

[pjpettigrew.livejournal.com]

No. Yrael should be Tybalt. The King of Cats. Or Not! Cats, in this case.

OMG who was Paris? *so runs to borrow the Leonardo Carpaccio/Clare Danes version from Falk the Metropolitan*

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

The guy who loved Juliet, whom her father picked to marry her. Romeo killed him in the graveyard, while plunging headlong towards romantic suicide.

...quietly grinning a lot, in some alternate universe, over your icon.

running away now wheeee!

[genarti]

I have no idea what you're talking about. Naturally.

*grin*

No, it's not just you. I am a loon. :D

[genarti]

Enh, all the best people are.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

We are all nuts. Uttterly utterly insane.

Goons from House Skywalker: Andrew, Jonathan, and Warren

*snerk*

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick: *has not been a goon since 1600s*

Danii: *is amused as hell and is stopping herself from casting Titus Andronicus*

[tropes.livejournal.com]

TITUS. YES YES YES. OH GOD.

*EXPLODES* *LOVES THE PART WHERE TITUS IMPOSES HIS OWN LANGUAGE UPON LAVINIA'S GESTURES OMG IT IS SO LIKE STRIPPED OF MEANING*

*IS A FUCKING NERD*

[the_lioness]

Alanna would like me to mention that she is a truly horrible actress. She suggests you cast Thom in the role instead. *nods* ;)

... Juliet doesn't really get to have friends other than Nurse, does she?

Kestrel: *sulks*

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

Kes could be a goon?

[owned-by-zot.livejournal.com]

*headdesks*

But then what about Darien and Brennan? Cos there's no way that they'd let her be a goon if they couldn't help.

Plus I don't know if she really would LIKE to be a goon.

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

Hm. She's a bystnder, then. A maid in the House Wiggin.

[owned-by-zot.livejournal.com]

*snerks*

Kestrel.

Being a maid ANYWHERE.

HAH!

Nah, she'd probably become an elf and go around hitting people in the head with a stick with bells on.

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

*snorts* Ok, I can take that.

[owned-by-zot.livejournal.com]

*whistles innocently*

[notinthefett.livejournal.com]

Yay! We're goons!

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

House Skywalker goons, at that.

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Ohmigod, people. I finally make my way back to Milliways, and am confronted with this. I fear. Really. Words cannot express the amount of sheer terror pumping through my veins.

I am also laughing my arse off. That casting is hysterical.

And if this is actually a possible piece of plottishness, Liz'd do it, despite her mun's afearedness. Shakespeare nut and all. You know how it is.

*returns to alternately giggling and wibbling*

[balletrat]

I think we should do it.

After all, with the upcoming library, we'd have the script . . . *whistles*

[pjpettigrew.livejournal.com]

And I also am laughing my head off, because the casting is so very perfect and so very mind-bending at the same time.

I agree with Liz-mun and Meg-mun. We should do it.

And here's the script:

Romeo and Juliet (http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/romeo_and_juliet/)

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

*is already adapting some parts in her head.* Fie on all of you. Fie.

[vivien]

Scarlett is very pleased to be Rosalind. That is perfect!

I am planning to bring her back over the break, btw, but she will be in a different time and space than she was before. ;)

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

Were I a fanfic writer, you would have caused me to write an AU fic where Scarlett was sorted into Slytherin.

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

Dream: *looks mildly bemused at the whole thing*

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

Anthy volunteers to be the apothecary. *whistles*

[empath-wiggin.livejournal.com]

Dude, Meg-mun and I were talking about that. *edits, along with a couple other casting changes*
