[3rd floor] Saturday morning in the common room.

Max sits in the third floor common room, steaming cup of coffee (with saucer) at the ready, large French press and extra cupware nearby. He's got papers spread out on the coffee table in front of him. It looks like a script or something. He's chewing thoughfully on the end of a Sharpie, idly tweaking the safety pin that attaches the earpiece to his frame of his glasses, and staring at an elaborate Venn diagram with various Fandom High student names on it.

Max is working on a play. It'll be a grand, unification theory effort: possibly Rocky Horror, possibly Our Town, and — more than possibly — some kind of meta mash-up between the two. Maybe a little Shrew. He's going to have to think on it.

[ooc: I'm in and out all weekend, but I wanted to put something up. Open to anyone who happens to be in the area, or who is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS actor. (kidding.)]

"Sure," Max says, pulling a large artist's notebook onto his lap to show Harry. "Basically, I start with a name here, and then -- it's the name of a character -- and then, I draw circles for other characters that they might interact with, and how much, in what capacity, et cetera. And then, I do some casting notes in other bubbles, using this green pen and cross-referencing them against the character names and how those two actors might work against each other. Or complement each other. Which is hard to judge, really, until you get them started on rehearsals. See, this one?" He points to a big bubble with "ANGELUS" written in it and then points to another circle that says "antipathy, but with great charisma." There are other student names listed, as well as some teachers. "And then, you gotta think about who he could play off of that would create the most friction."

He looks at the guy next to him again and says, "I really like those frames, though. I need new ones. I'm thinking about looking on the internet. Maybe eBay or something. I hate these frames. And the lenses. I hate everything but the safety pin actually."

Smiling, he adds, "I'm Max Fischer. What's your name, guy?"
