EMERALD

[dramatispersonae]

Your room is a bit cramped, but brightly and colorfully lit, with a TV screen showing some music videos and speakers in every corner. There's a karaoke machine with a couple microphones hooked up to it. The karaoke machine has a small keyboard and a search function available.

Underneath the table is a chest of clothes and accessories.

PART TWO

[dramatispersonae]

[Mr. Right's voice comes over the speakers.]

Music's a special thing, innit? It strikes us in the cores of our souls. A simple harmony and some melodic-sounding words can reduce a person to tears, or fill their heart with joy. We've all felt it. Music's like a drug to some folks, something they just can't live without or they start to fade away inside. It comes in all forms, all shapes and sizes. Music has meaning and depth, when, at the end of the day, it's really just a bunch of sound all jumbled together. Isn't that funny? But what's really interesting to me is the message music sends: which is what I want you to do today. I'm giving you three songs I want you to make connections with, however you like--it can be a grand tale of romance and tragedy, or a comedy of errors. Just make sure you incorporate all three into your performance, or else you'll only have 2/3 of a story... and we all know the ending's the best part. And remember, enthusiasm is key.

As the poets Nick, Kevin, AJ, Brian, and Howie once wrote: ♫ Every time we're down, you can make it right, and that makes you larger than life~ ♫

((It's song interpretation time! Interpret the songs assigned to you and write whatever kind of story you want about them, no matter how absurd. Length and order of each song is up to you, BUT when you turn your story in, indicate how your team is going to perform it--who's singing, who's dancing, what kind of weird dance you've come up with, what each character is wearing, etc. Your characters can ICly look up the music videos for each song on the karaoke machine, as well as have different singers/dancers for each song.

When you've finished, your performance will go under your team comment here.))
