Oh the things you can think (we are willing to try)

Summary:

Sure, life can be a mess, whether you’re freaking out over trying to portray Horton the elephant on stage, or listening to your dad once again talk about how classical music is infinitely better than street music, or on the verge of being arrested for truancy. But hey, things could be worse.

Chapter 1: An unusual story will soon be unfurled

Notes:

I don’t know, it came to me. As if I’d known it all along.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Rui(cat apparently???): sent image

Rui(cat apparently???): Well, the cast list is out

Rui(cat apparently???): Congrats to all of us

Rui(cat apparently???): I must admit I’m highly confused by my casting. I’m not exactly lead material.

 

Nene: just because YOU don’t cast yourself as leads doesn’t mean you’re not lead material.

Nene: it’s pretty cool that me, you and dumbkasa are all leads

Nene: bird girls are super important too emu

 

Emu: WONDERHOYYYYY

Emu: Oh I know Nene!!!! It’s thanks to you that my singing is good enough for that!!!!!! And you’re gonna be a super duper Jojo!!!!

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: I’M HORTON??????

🌟Tsukasa🌟: HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT PLAYING HORTON THE ELEPHANT!??????

 

Nene: tf did you get a bigger part than Genbu freaking Asahi

 

Rui: I thought I was going to be a wickersham….. he’ll do so well as one, I have no doubt.

 

Nene: You don’t always have to be a villain

 

Rui(cat apparently???): I know but it’s fun!

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: WHAT DO I HAVE IN COMMON WITH HORTON THE ELEPHANT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS

 

Rui(cat apparently???): Calm down my dear. You’ll figure it out, you always do. Make sure you ask us for help when you need it.

 

Nene: Sakurauko is Mayzie LaBird that’s going to be fun

 

Rui(cat apparently???): well, she is quite good at playing birds, we know that for a fact :3

Rui(cat apparently???): That will mark the second time she has played a bird causing problems for Tsukasa’s character!

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: And getting that role drove me insane!!!

 

Nene: Do not do anything like that ever again

Nene: you’re lucky that didn’t turn into an actual problem

 

Rui(cat apparently???): Please do not sit in a tree for a year. We do not have that kind of time.

 

Emu: yeah please don’t do things that will hurt you :(

Emu: even the way you played Bless I think that wasn’t good for youuuu

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: But that was my best performance ever!!!!

 

Rui(cat apparently???): Yeah that’s probably why you got Horton

Rui(cat apparently???): anyway I need to rewatch every Seussical video essay for research purposes

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: And then sleep????

🌟Tsukasa🌟: AND THEN SLEEP RIGHT??? You were a ZOMBIE today

 

Nene: don’t worry about it

Nene: I’ll deal with him if I have to

 

Emu: I’m going to listen to the soundtrack!!!!

 

Nene: good choice. I already have, but a re listen can’t hurt

Nene: off broadway recording is way better btw

 

Emu: okieee

Messages between Rui(cat apparently???) and Amia

24:32

Rui(cat apparently???): Do you recall me mentioning that my troupe all auditioned for a Japanese language production of Seussical the Musical

Rui(cat apparently???): It seems I’ve been cast as the cat in the hat.

 

Amia: oh congrats!!

Amia: that makes sense

 

Rui(cat apparently???): really?

 

Amia: iirc from the slime tutorial SOMEONE forced me to watch years ago you’re literally him

 

Rui(cat apparently???): I do understand what you’re saying but I’ve somehow beat GENBU ASAHI out for the role. ASAHI.

 

Amia: holy crap you’re right that is crazy

Amia: ig you were just that cat

Amia: you catted

 

Rui(cat apparently???): ?

 

Amia: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Amia: are you nervous?

Rui(cat apparently???): yeahhh

Rui(cat apparently???): I didn’t expect this is all. I wonder if my skills are enough to create the best show possible. I’ve also been a bit burnt out as of late too, so….

 

Amia: you’re gonna do great you’re actually a peak actor ok? It’s going to be a great show

Amia: also pls pls take care of yourself. You need to rest properly if you want to stop feeling burnt out

 

Rui(cat apparently???): okayyy

Rui(cat apparently???): I think I’ll be ok

Rui(cat apparently???): Are you and Nene plotting something? She just texted me “go tf to sleep or I am going to GET YOU”

 

Amia: no but she’s right

Amia: I do have to go hop on call now bye

 

Rui(cat apparently???): good night!

Akito: ok but I’m still allowed to miss it???

 

Toya: I don’t particularly miss it. It’s too loud. ☹️

 

Akito: You just need to bring your headphones next time you’ll probably like it more

 

Kohampster: Emu and her friends are going soon,once all the stuff for their next show dies down!

 

An: oooh

An: is nene gonna be ok though it’s literally crowds and noise everywhere

 

Toya: We should warn them about the city when given the chance

 

Akito: wait they’re doing a new show??

 

Kohampster: yeah! Emu told me they were in Seussical. Which is exactly what it sounds like it is

 

An: aki we’re interrogating nene during class right

 

Akito: oh definitely

12:07

An: guys we have to see Seussical together right

 

Toya: I want to see Tsukasa in any role he plays. He’s always mesmerizing.

 

Akito: he’s always being insane is what he’s doing

Akito: which is apparently exactly what this show is making him do

Akito: source-Kamishiro freaking Rui

 

Kohampster: It would be fun if the four of us saw it! Emu is rlly excited :)

 

Toya: I never really read Dr Seuss as a child, the plot will be new to me

 

Akito: WHY IS YOUR DAD A CARTOON SUPERVILLAIN

Akito: WDYM YOU DIDNT READ DR SEUSS

 

Toya: I had to read about playing piano/music in general only.

 

Akito: tf

Akito: you know that’s weird right

Akito: please tell me you know that

 

Toya: I guess.

 

An: toyaaa can we fight him

Rui: sent image, an open word document titled “Seuss yaoi”

Rui: too late!

 

Nene: omfg

Nene: sent image

 

Rui: yea

 

Emu: YOURE SO PRETTY ALL THE TIME BUT YES YES IT LOOKS SO CUTE

Emu: so pretty….

 

Nene: oh ty very much!

Nene: you’re biased though

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: Your clothing choices are superb!!!

 

Nene: no clue how reliable you are but thank you.

Nene: do you guys know when the show dates are so I can tell an and akito

 

Rui: yes it’s on the website, here you go!

Rui:sent link

 

Nene: thanks

 

20:34

 

Nene: istg Asahi can’t go two seconds without aurafarming

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: I don’t know what that means!

 

Nene: uhhh like

Nene: so you know how his line delivery/singing always makes you go “wow” even if he’s doing it casually

Nene: like he has aura

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: I’m afraid I’m still confused…

 

Rui: Well, “aura” means gold, correct?

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: Yes

 

Rui: And you know what farming is!

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: So it’s akin to panning for gold????

🌟Tsukasa🌟: That CANNOT be right.

 

Nene: that’s because it’s not

Nene: Rui’s just lying

 

Rui: you caught me :3

Rui: one of my few intact memories from middle school is my chem teacher saying something like that and I will never forget how funny that was

 

Emu: that is funny!!!

Emu: out here, panning for gold!

 

Rui: In Colorado!

 

Nene: what are you two talking about?

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: Nobody knows. Nobody will ever know.

 

Rui: sent link

Rui: Is that helpful?

 

Nene: No

Nene: Anyway Tsukasa I feel like you did pretty good

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: Not really, not compared to Asahi, Sakurauko, and Reki

🌟Tsukasa🌟: But I shall persist!

 

Nene: Did Reki tell us he was auditioning and I forgot or did he just not tell us?

Nene: Either is pretty in character

 

Rui: Reki did in fact not tell us! However it’s very nice to work with him again.

Rui: Even just reading, he was a rather intimidating general. Not like himself at all.

 

Nene: It felt like he was sending me to war yeah

 

Rui: I’ve been vocal stimming “my philosophy is simply, things could be worse” instead of actually practicing it’s rather annoying.

Rui: I’m going to drop a chandelier on my brain. For being irritating.

 

Emu: noooo don’t do that

Emu: I like Rui’s brain! No chandelier dropping allowed

 

Rui: Awww okay….

 

Emu: hehe that’s a reference to…something!

 

Rui: ooh, do tell!

 

Emu: Nope! I’m telling you tomorrow!

 

Rui: whyyy

 

Emu: so you’ll go to sleep 😁

Emu: I can tell you’re sleepy when you stop texting full sentences

 

Rui: You cannot make me, my dear friend. You see, I need to research how to be a more optimal Cat.

Rui: see, full sentence. I am very awake

 

Nene: me when I lie

Nene: I’m exhausted but this game i like has a special event running

Nene: what else am I supposed to do?

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: Not play it and rest properly?

 

Nene: incorrect!

 

Rui: I made some progress on my Seuss yaoi while procrastinating my homework

Rui: sent image

 

🌟Tsukasa🌟: NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT

Notes:
