Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)A writer takes time out in what he thinks is a remote forest cabin. Not as remote as he thinks. Beyond the clearing he comes to realise there's another cabin and it turns out she's the daughter of the owner of the cabin, who also owns his one. As he nears the cabin, breaking twigs, treading wild grasses, pushing through leaves, he sees her sitting on the balcony. She had been in meditation but woken by the sound of her nieghbour. Hi...sorry to disturb you...just passing by...I'm staying at the erm...the other cabin beyond the erm... His words are caught the rhythms of the light rain, catching on leaves. Hesitatingly, reluctantly almost, she raises her hand. Oh...hi...
Where does that conversation go? Why is she there? What's her name, her backstory? How long has she been at the cabin? How long will she stay? How will their story unfold...?
At an art museum, I notice a really cute woman. Clearly she has a maturity to her and tanned, olive complexion. Black straight hair, tied back. Informally well-dressed, just right for an art museum. I move into the space of the painting she has been regarding; she smiles politely to herself, as do I, and for a second our eyes met. After a moment of regard of the painting, I turn to wonder which artwork caught her attention; it was the moment she had also turned to me. We smiled shyly and continued regarding the artworks. We found ourselves in the museum gift shop, looking at books and posters. Which painting did you enjoy, she asked. Soon we agreed to have coffee in the cafe. She is Italian, here with her husband for a few days, staying the somethingorother hotel. He's doing business, she enjoying the break.
Is it possible these two strangers could enjoy each others company still further? But how? How can they make that happen?
I could tell at rehearsal that something was on Ophelia's mind...she simply wasn't giving herself to the part as she normally does. She's very pretty, as Ophelia should be, and slight. And we're at the stage of rehearsals when actors are encouraged to wear bits of costume. Today is was the Ophelia madness scenes and she wore a white dress which came above the knee, bare legs, barefoot. She waited for the other actors to leave before coming to me. I'm sorry about this evening, she said. That's ok...it happens, it's hard to keep up high standards all the time. I think I need to workshop a few ideas, she said. Can we do that? She crossed her legs. I think it would help me to explore her character more. Sure, I said, I'd love to. I think I'd prefer it if it were just us two, she said. Ok. Will that be ok? Sure. That's good, I'm so relieved. When...?
Yes when? Soon! I wonder how that workshop will go! On the face of it a very innocent and not improper request. I wonder how it will turn out...?
This is day 1 for me here so just sharing some thoughts for RPs which in the fullness of time would love to find partners for. Hopefully you'll be interested in some of these scenarios and would like to RP the female. Some great stories just waiting to be written...
