We only have a few days left together, so I hope you all make the most of our remaining time by learning as much as possible.
We will!
Now, let's put the sword-fighting exercises you did earlier into practice by using them in a scene.
“*Roar*”
“Ah, you've some skill...
I remember when you were just a pipsqueak.”
“Unfortunately...
It's no use...!”
“Urgh...! Grr...!”
“What happened? You seemed so confident a second ago.”
“...!
I cannot lose... Not to the likes of you!”
Mr. Pegasus...
You misunderstand what your character is feeling.
Yes, it's natural for one to raise their voice during a scene such as this...
But “you” already know that victory will not be achievable at this rate. You must not forget that grief and despair linger in the back of your mind.
...!
Yes, of course.
Please, allow me to try that again!
Sorry to bother you during your break!
No problem, Pegasus. What's up?
So, um... Would you mind practicing with me for a bit? I'd like to work on what the director just said.
Hey, that sounds fun!
Lemme join too, Pegasus!
Ah, excellent! Thank you very much! But...
Do you all need to call me by that name...?
Huh? I think it's cute.
Pegasus seems like a great nickname.
I don't feel happy about that at all!
How did this happen...?
I didn't even do my usual “Tenma, written as 'soaring pegasus'” bit! Why am I being called “Pegasus” by everyone now?!
Don't ask me. Also, you have your own catchphrase? You're just a gift that keeps on giving, huh?
Hmmm...
Is this some sort of penalty for not being able to immediately produce results? Is that why I wasn't called by my actual name sooner...?
Yes, it did take a while for you to be called by your name, but I think he's taken a real liking to you now...
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, he totally cracked up when you introduced yourself.
...
Once more, you will all be introducing yourselves by playing the same role and reciting the same lines. Please present to me what you are capable of as actors.
Any questions...?
Ah, you there.
Thank you! How many versions of “me” am I allowed to present?!
Huh...?
Uh, Tenma...?
You're not suddenly believing that you have superpowers or something, right...?
What are you talking about?!
Hehe. In other words, you'd like for me to see a few different renditions of “yourself”, yes?
Oh! Yes, that's what I meant!
How were we supposed to know?
Tenma, we just met, so I'm not sure if I should say this, but have people ever told you that you're pretty weird?
That's not...!
Well, yes...
Unfortunately, the director of my troupe and I have been given the honor of being called the Weirdo Wombo Combo.
Hehehe... Hahaha!
Hehe. I'm starting to understand why Genbu told you about this workshop.
What...?
Now, about your introduction...
You are all actors, so I'm sure it wasn't easy deciding how you wish to portray yourselves.
However, since you were all so eager to get here, we were able to start early, so who don't you all do two renditions?“
Man, you definitely left an impression back there.
But my acting was a mess...
Hmm... I'm struggling to get an insight into your character's background and self based on your portrayal.
It tells me nothing about who you are.
Anyway, next...
(He's right. My acting felt thin that time. It had no depth to it.)
(When I perform as a member of Wonderlands×Showtime, I get to do shows based on well-written scripts...)
(Which is why I've had no trouble bringing the characters I play and their stories to life!)
(It took me quite some time to figure that out and find a solution, but I somehow managed in the end!)
(Because I was chosen to play the lead as Peter Pan!)
Look, Pegasus is making weird faces again.
Hey, Pegasus.
Earth to Pegasus!
Huh?! Pardon me. I was deep in thought.
Anyway, let's start practicing our parts!
Yeah!
Okay!
