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?
Tsuruzu: 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?
Mazumi: 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: Alright.
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: Alright!
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.
This month's feature is five guidelines for mature charm~ If I'm aiming for an older girl, then having a mature charm's the way to go~
Masumi: ...
Taichi: Mm?
Masumi: Hand it over.
Taichi: Eh?! W-wait, but I was still in the middle of reading!
Masumi: ...
