Backstage Stories
Guy
TsuzuruOh, this is where you were. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about changing the script.
Guy...
Tsuzuru(Guy looks super focused. I wonder what he’s thinking about. Is he watching a video or something?)
Guy
TsuzuruUmm, Guy? …Guuyyyy!
Guy...
IzumiHey there Tsuzuru, what’s up?
TsuzuruI’m trying to get Guy’s attention, but he’s preoccupied with something. Maybe his programming froze?
IzumiO-Oh, umm...
Guy?
Guy...
IzumiHe’s not moving at all… W-What’s happening?
Guy…Hmm.
TsuzuruOh!
IzumiAh!
Guy…Hm? When did the two of you arrive? My apologies, I did not notice you come in.
IzumiO-Oh thank god. He’s alive. You were hyper-fixated on that.
TsuzuruWhat were you watching?
GuyA dance lecture video.
TsuzuruOh, I get it. Is this for role study?
GuyYes. They throw around more complex jargon than I expected.
My highest priority is finding good command over the fundamentals of dance.
IzumiThat’s right, you’re playing the role of a dance instructor.
GuyCorrect. If I am to be a teacher, I should at the very least be able to execute the basics without struggle.
It’s difficult to pin down.
Izumi(Now that he mentions it, I can understand the intense focus from before. But wow, Guy makes for a perfect teacher role, even if it’s tough to master.)
GuyI’ve just had a realization. I cannot sit here and spend all my time watching videos.
TsuzuruFrom the looks of it, aren’t you forgetting the hand movements?
GuyWhat do you mean?
TsuzuruWhen you’re trying to imitate a specific style, you have to start by looking at the big picture. Details are important too, but they come after you understand the most basic things.
This applies to gestures and even manners of speaking. Start with what you can replicate yourself, then hone in on the details… Something like that?
GuyI see. I will start with the bigger picture.
In the video I was watching, the instructor was clapping his hands to the beat. I suppose that means I should start with clapping... I think.
IzumiYeah, you got it. I think that’s a wonderful place to start.
GuyHmm, something like this?
TsuzuruOhh, nice!
Izumi(Wow… Guy just radiates dignity.)
(Regardless of what he does, Guy always treats his work with respect… He’s seriously top of the line.)
Citron(^^♪
Izumi!
(I had a feeling it was Citron.)
(Just from the sound of his light, flowing steps, you can tell it’s him walking around.)
CitronYo Guy, you’re going to make your students fall on their heads with all of that awful gasping!
TsuzuruNot gasping, CLAPPING. Why are you barging in all of a sudden?!
CitronI wanted to visit the lounge, and that’s when I heard this awful clapping. It’s terrible.
You’re going to be a second-rate teacher if this is what you’re bringing to the lesson.
TsuzuruSo you came here to fling insults. Great. Just. Great.
IzumiDo you really think that? I thought he was off to a good start.
CitronNooo nooo, you’re being too nice!
You call THAT clapping? You need to move your hands more, make bigger movements, or else no one is gonna hear you!
GuyHmm... Like this?
CitronYep, just like that!
(^^♪
Izumi(Wow, Citron looks so happy to dance along with Guy’s clapping.)
TsuzuruUmm, do you really have to dance with him, Citron?
IzumiIt makes sense given Guy’s role as a dance instructor.
Guy...
Citron(^^♪ (^^♪ (^^♪
Izumi(They’ve been at it for a while now. Guy clapping and Citron dancing...)
TsuzuruH-Hey, hey, hey—stop!
Guy...Hm.
CitronZeee zee… Hm, why are you telling us to stop? We are on fire!
TsuzuruI think you two need to catch your breaths! Guy’s hands are gonna fall off if you keep going!
IzumiY-Yeah...
TsuzuruDon’t your hands hurt, Guy?
Guy…They do.
TsuzuruSEE! If Guy’s hands get injured he can’t do his job at his bar and his business will suffer!
Guy...That would be unfortunate. I do not wish to burden Mikage.
TsuzuruPlease don’t make Hisoka run the bar alone!
CitronIf your hands were hurting you should have said something!
TsuzuruYou could have asked just like I did! You’re the one who insisted on dancing and making Guy clap!
ItaruGood mo—huh? What’s going on here?
…Uhh, is this a stand up... trio?
IzumiAhaha… Umm, we’re doing some role study.
TsuzuruFor the love of god, back me up, Itaru!
ItaruLooks like you guys are dealing with some real shit here. I did have something to do, but… nah, I’m outtie.
