[The console feed fires up, password keyed in before she's even settled into the chair. Ororo is wearing her jacket still, fresh from outside and looking to play the hybrid between winded and frustrated. She brushes hair away from her face and leans on the edge of the console.]

X-Men, shout out. Anyone heard from Kurt or the Professor?

[She's seen neither of them lately and a couple spins around the city haven't shed light on where they are. After a second, she shakes her head and starts shrugging off her jacket.]

Everyone else, what're your thoughts on having live theatre around here? I asked a couple kedan and they looked at me like I'd sprouted a third leg -- only you'd think they'd be okay with that.

Point is, me and Toby're thinking about translating some late nineties masterpieces and updating some serious Hollywood classics and putting them on. Got any requests?

Sorry. I haven't seen or heard from either of them in a long while.

As for live theatre...need any actors?

[Video]

[storm_warning]

That stinks. They've released everyone caught snooping, right?

[Which means they wouldn't still be cooped up in a cell -- not like normal cells could hold Nightcrawler.]

And yeah, we'd need the whole drill. I've got some juulan to throw into it and can nail the atmosphere effects, but I never went in for stage performances. You interested?

[superoverachiever]

Live theater would be cool! You guys should put on some romantic plays.

[Whaaat addiction to pulp romance she hasn't been able to satisfy since arriving here?]

[Video]

[storm_warning]

Got any particular romantic theme you'd like?

[mrsarcastic003]

Casablanca! Who doesn't love some classic Bogart?

[storm_warning]

[Ororo likes this answer. Then again, she learned English from old television, so... BRING ON THE CLASSICS.]

Crazy folk wouldn't, that's who. We're also looking at modern stuff. Thoughts?

Movies, for real?

[ guess who hasn't seen very many since drive-ins went out of style ]

[storm_warning]

Sort of. We'd be doing it live, but going for the feel of the original. You interested?

I can't say I know anything about "late nineties" masterpieces, but I doubt starting up a theatre would be a bad idea. If you're in need of actors, I've got a little bit of experience and wouldn't be averse to helping out.

[storm_warning]

What kind of experience are we talking about?

[A beat. She doesn't recognise her from the network.]

The name's Ororo, by the way.

[dracobin]

I saw a play once, only it ended in my captain almost getting killed. I would very much like to see how it is done properly.

voice;

[storm_warning]

That's way not how it's supposed to go. You went to a theatre on the wrong side of the tracks?

[sophos]

Roman Holiday. [Her tone is a little fond, despite some other rather not-so-positive connotations.]

video

[storm_warning]

That a favourite of yours?

[zerotoawesome]

I don't think I've heard from hair Xavier since the first time he popped up on the monitors... Kurt's been quiet for a while too.

Anyway, Die Hard. And 2 Fast 2 Furious.

[storm_warning]

That stinks. It knocks us down to half strength.

[And takes away two of the three that she knows a version of back home.]

Whoa, 2 Fast 2 Furious? You mean I missed a sequel to that piece of sterling silver?

[insecrets]

A show would be nice. Everyone could do with a little entertainment. [Even though he doesn't actually know what Hollywood is, and Capitol shows are probably really weird.]

Have you found anyone who has heard from your friends yet?

video;

[storm_warning]

I figure it beats watching the grass grow.

[Ororo hesitates at the latter, then shakes her head, crosses her arms, and leans her weight back. All in all, it's an emotional defense she uses a lot.]

Not a whisper or a thought. [The latter being critical when dealing with Charles Xavier.] Best guess is that they got to move on.

[squint]

[ Ah, someone he recognizes. Even if it is from the sewers. ]

You didn't strike me as the drama type.

video;

[storm_warning]

[Look at that, an old friend. Ororo nods slowly, then catches herself and shakes her head.]

Drama? As if. I'm more a sci-fi action sort myself.

[Then, truer to the meaning of his comment:]

Call it being sick of having no television here.

( VIDEO )

[forging]

[ ACTING? PICK ME. PICK MEEEEEE. ]

I'll be happy to assist in recreations of tawdry 90's films, yeah?

( VIDEO )

[storm_warning]

You got much experience with the whole acting deal?

[Video]

[histruename]

[So this is actually Hellboy using the network for more than Official Business. Turns out this thing can actually be a good source of information. And now that his own console is back in working order, he's forcing himself to scope it out from time to time.

This post isn't exactly what he's looking for, but he likes Ororo, and she seemed kind of distraught for a moment there. Sounds like the kid lost some friends. Unfortunately he hasn't seen or heard of them, so he's no help there. But movies... he knows movies.]

Nineties movies, huh? You've got Lone Star, Donnie Brasco, Dead Man, The Green Mile... Though I can't say how they would translate into plays.

[Westerns and gritty crime dramas. This is his taste. At least when it comes to the relatively new stuff.]

[Video]

[storm_warning]

[HB, you just reminded her of why she likes you.]

Nice titles. I always figured you had great taste.

[It makes her smile, thanks.]

[lostundercover]

You really think this is the place for that?

[storm_warning]

Beats doing the grand nothing I've been stuck with since I got here. You not a fan?

Audio -- also sorry for the lateness and if it is too late to tag I understand!

[monstrous]

[Toby's been checking out all the responses, and a little while later he finally responds himself]

I told you actors wouldn't be too hard to find. Hell, even if they can't really act it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Just look at all the successful professional ones who can't, and they're doing an all right job of it.

Audio; I scree'd with joy, negl and then RL ate me and I couldn't tag back until now

[storm_warning]

[Ororo is a bit relieved to hear her partner-in-crime come on the line and sound so casual about it, though her tone when she finally speaks is laidback. NO BIGGIE.]

Don't tell me this is an "I told you so" deal.

[A pause.]

Turns out we've got volunteers for a whole crew and half the opening night booked in already.
