( Izumi looks... a little nervous as the camera starts up. She's never had to advertise like this before! And, admittedly, the memories of her last reason for consulting the network do play in her mind as she starts up her broadcast, coming live from an empty theatre in Yoshiwara.

Okay!!! Let's do this, Tachibana!!! )

... Um, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Izumi Tachibana. I'm, uh, now the general director of Kadan Theatre in Yoshiwara.

( Okay, with that introduction out of the way, she looks a little more assured. )

We're a new theatre and we're looking for people to fill various roles, such as actors, scriptwriters and staging and costume staff. Of course, anyone with experience in promotions, accounting, or photography would be very welcome too! We'll be holding auditions every afternoon for the next week, so please come along if you're interested. You don't need experience to stand on stage, just the interest and desire is enough.

( She knows she can help rookies blossom. And this time she doesn't even have the yakuza hovering over her head as she does it! SCORE! )

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's fine. It's a big city.

( Heck, she's been going to the modern, non-horny version of Tokyo for as long as she can remember and she still gets lost here in Nippon's version. )

If you get lost, please call. I can try to direct you.

I'll let you know! I shall see you soon!

[And with that, off she went! Although, it might take an hour or so until she arrived for alas. This place was certainly a lot more challenging than she thought. Should Izumi look outside the theater, she might find one lost funeral director staring at the place.]

I hope I'm right. I don't want to get lost...

( She does indeed! And that is enough to make her rush to the front door, waving as she pulls it open. )

Hey! You found us, I'm glad.

( A quick bow, because this is the first time they're meeting properly. )

Once again, I'm Izumi Tachibana. The director. It's nice to meet you.

[The moment that Hu Tao sees the young girl, she couldn't help but give off a bright smile.]

And again, it's a pleasure to meet you too! [In return, Hu Tao gave a slight bow.] Now please, do tell me what script I shall be acting for I cannot wait to get started!

( Then please, come inside! Izumi guides Hu Tao to the main stage before she starts on the audition process. )

Okay, to begin with, I want you to say "I did it!" in four different ways. Happy, tired, reluctant and scared.

I did it, huh? That sounds easy enough. Well, here I go!

[With that, she cleared her throat before giving a bright smile] I did it! [And then giving a slight yawn before stretching her arms out.] I...did it. [Then she looked downward before giving a pout.] I...I did it?

[Finally, lowering herself toward the right, she widens her eyes before attempting to bite her fingers.] I...I did it...? [That said? She gave her a look before giggling to herself.] And there! I think I did pretty well for my first time!

( Very cute! Charming. Her projection of her voice could stand to be better, and there's a bit of stiltedness to the emotions, but she's got good basics. More than enough for Izumi to work with. )

Great. That was very nicely done.

( Hm, now for the improv scene. Izumi pauses, thinking for a second, before she has it. )

Now, for your improv scene, I'd like you to act out waiting for your date to arrive at a festival.

[With that, Hu Tao raised an eyebrow before giving a hum. It sounds easy enough. Again, she gave a small huff before crossing her arms and shifting around her weight in each leg. Fidgeting her clothing as she kept looking down at the ground, she mumbled to herself.]

I wonder what is taking him so long. I hope that I didn't scare him off....

[While Hu Tao would have been someone who was more annoyed if said date was a little late, she kept that part to herself. If this scene required her to be a love-struck person, she'll do it.]

I just hope everything will be okay....

( Projection again. But that's very fixable. Most people don't know how to project a mumble before they join theatre, after all.

Once Hu Tao is done, Izumi claps her hands, smiling. )

Thank you! I'd love for you to join us here at Kadan Theatre!

( She's... not a demanding audition panel, to say the least. )

[Needlesstosay, Hu Tao raised an eyebrow. Crossing her arms, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.]

Really? That's it? Goodness, here I was expecting the process to be much more difficult. I can't complain, especially now that I have the time to master my acting!

[All the while making hand gestures at said word.]

We like to believe in the potential of our actors! ( Also she's used to be desperate to hire just about anyone. At least there was an audition process, this time. ) You have a good basic grasp of how to move and emote, as well as natural charm. I believe we can refine it well.
