Izumi | Alice in Wonderland? |
Tsuzuru | There's no plot yet, but I want it to be the motif of Spring Troupe's next play. |
Itaru | And the cross dressing issue returns. |
Sakuya | When we did Romeo, Juliet was turned into a guy, right? |
Izumi | Never mind other characters, what do we do about Alice's image as a little girl? |
Tsuzuru | I was thinking of making Alice a male college student this time. |
Izumi | Oh! That's pretty new. |
Tsuzuru | I want to make Alice and the Mad Hatter's strange conversation the main point of the script. |
Sakuya | Their ways of thinking are tricky, so I think that's good! |
Citron | It is very popular in my country too, Ice in Wonderland! |
Tsuzuru | Sounds cold. It's Alice. |
Masumi | Hm... |
Yuki | What, doing Alice next? |
Muku | Are you talking about Spring Troupe's next play? |
Izumi | Ah, perfect timing. |
Tsuzuru | Here, the plot for Spring Troupe's next play. |
Kazunari | Heeey! That's neat. Who'll be doing Alice? |
Yuki | ...I can go all out for the costumes, right? |
Muku | Yuki-kun, your face is turning into a villain's! |
Tsuzuru | I got a bad feeling about this... |
Yuki | If you're talking about Alice then it has to be a loli costume. I'll thoroughly enjoy myself and make it adorable. |
Sakuya | A-adorable...?! |
Itaru | TY in advance for a level of adorable not impossible for a man in his 20s to wear. |
Yuki | You adjust, not the costume. |
Itaru | Too much pressure. |
Kazunari | Can't wait to design the flyer! Let's loli loli hype and get going. |
Muku | Has the cast already been decided? |
Tsuzuru | I was thinking Citron-san as the King of Hearts would be interesting. |
Sakuya | So the Queen became a King too. |
Citron | King... |
Izumi | What's wrong? |
Tsuzuru | You don't like it? |
Citron | It is not that. I just instinctively do not like people who act like they are celebrities. |
Tsuzuru | But a king is a celebrity. |
Izumi | Well, if there aren't any complaints, then Citron-kun as the King of Hearts is decided. |
Sakuya | They both have a big presence, so it's a perfect match! |
Muku | And they look majestic even just standing! |
Izumi | Mhm. |
Tsuzuru | Next are Alice and the Mad Hatter, but I'm kind of at a loss here. |
Izumi | Hmm, and they're the lead and second lead roles... |
| (Alice and the Mad Hatter's lines have an airy, aloof feeling.) |
| (Like the Mad Hatter's "A drink of my tea will wake you back up? I've never heard of such talk. Isn't that right, you all?"...) |
| (And Alice's "Who else have you been talking to all this time, when there's been no one here but us?"...) |
| If it's two people who have an image of talking indifferently with low energy, then I have a feeling Itaru-san and Masumi-kun might fit, but... What do you think? |
Tsuzuru | Aah, I get it. They really do fit. |
Sakuya | In that case, who will be Alice? |
Itaru | An Alice in his twenties, GG. |
Izumi | If it can't be Itaru, then maybe Masumi? |
Tsuzuru | If we think about the balance in ages, then that way will be better. The Mad Hatter can be Alice's college professor too. |
Izumi | Are you fine with that too, Masumi-kun? |
Masumi | You're choosing me for the lead role? |
Izumi | Yes. Masumi-kun will be the leader, too. |
| (I'm a little worried about how he'll do in other aspects besides acting though, like if he can bring everyone together...) |
Masumi | ...I'll do it. I'll show you that you can fall for me again. |
Izumi | C-come again? |
Tsuzuru | The motive's as absurd as always... |
Izumi | Setting that latter part aside, good luck! |
Masumi | All right. |
Izumi | With that, we're counting on you for the second lead role, Itaru-san! |
Itaru | Less time to play games... |
Izumi | Eeh~ You don't have to say such a thing... |
Muku | Waa, Yuki-kun, the costume designs are cute! |
Yuki | Though they're still rough sketches. |
Kazunari | Anyhow, the Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit gotta have ears~ |
Sakuya | E-ears... |
Tsuzuru | Seriously...? |
Itaru | ... |
Izumi | Itaru-san, would you prefer another role? |
Itaru | ...No, the Mad Hatter's fine. Cat ears or bunny ears on a salaryman in his twenties is tough. |
Tsuzuru | It's hard for a college student in his teens too... |
Izumi | Now it's the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit but... Sakuya-kun, Tsuzuru-kun, which would you prefer? |
Sakuya | The White Rabbit's role is to guide Alice to Wonderland, so I think Tsuzuru-kun will fit. |
Tsuzuru | Cat ears and rabbit ears are two really extreme choices... |
Itaru | If it wasn't a male college student putting them on then they'd be two really heavenly choices. |
Citron | I am a fan of cat ears! |
Tsuzuru | Easy for you to say... |
Masumi | You're the one who decided the motif. |
Tsuzuru | Ugh... |
Itaru | Boomerang FTW. |
Izumi | So, the White Rabbit is Tsuzuru-kun. That makes Sakuya-kun the Cheshire Cat. |
Sakuya | All right! |
Tsuzuru | Rabbit ears, huh... |
Itaru | GJ. |
| |
Masumi | Alice in Wonderland... College student Alice... How do I portray that in a way that'll please her... |
Taichi | Hm hm. |
