" so what you think Nathan? This is our store room. Quite sufficient enough to store most of the props but I think we need a new one very soon " says Max after flipping on the lights.
Nathan stares , looking around . Yup , t's quite huge and it really is stuffed with all sorts of props if you really consider them as props that is . There is a huge stack of rainbow colour curtain in one corner and there is another Unicorn horn like ...sticky... thing... not sure of for what but that's in another corner.
One thing that catches his eye is a skull ! Quite really literally staring at him . Nathan stares at it . Is it real or is it a fake ? Kinda looks really like... really a genuine one .
The other club member Bruno , doesn't miss Nathan staring . He grabs him in a half shoulder hug and points " what do you think it's really looks actual one doesn't it?"
Nathan shrugs him off .
" Yes look empty enough just like your brain " .
Bruno looks offended but doesn't quite accept his defeat.
He calls " Rachel! Nathan is bullying me ! "
Rachel gives a look that can only describes as the side eye . She walks closer to the skull fake inspecting it .
" Nathan! I have a job for you !
Nathan frowns " sure you do . What else free slave work gonna for ?"
Rachael's expression doesn't change . She pats the skull lightly like a kid to a puppy .
" Find the rest of it Nathan. I couldn't find them the last time . It's important for club "
She looks a little bit distracted . Fingers brushing softly on its not really smooth surface .
Nathan observes the skull's head has turned a bit off-white from constant use over the years.
Why is this so important to the club anyways? It's just a skull. The type shady magicians like to use in making predictions. And then it goes all worng for the king's . Not his word–Shakespeare's !
Nathan sighes . The skull is sitting a top of a huge stack of pillows. Half heartedly put together, slightly bent for support on the wall
He snatches the skull away, roughly brushing past Rachael's fingers .
" what's so special about it ? " He turns it around to inspect .
Rachael turns around with a " Hey !! "
" Tell me now or I won't look for the rest of it" he smirks " is it your ex husband? Your boyfriend that you killed accidentally or ...buried family secret - "
" Tsk give it back you moron " Rachael huffs ,yanking it out of his hand .
Nathan smirks " why Ms drama queen? Don't like your medicine? Ms single and borring? "
Rachael pats the skull again. Brows furrowing even deeper.
" Oh shut up ! " She snorts " like that's even original ! "
She returns his smirk with her signature glare . Concentrated , eyes narrowing, nose scrunched up .
" This one is given by our founding member. Like really old okay! It was so very expensive and still brought it for the club . "
Bruno nods agreeing with her " besides we are supposed to use it for pied piper anyway. So just find it "
Now hold on damn second. That? And a full skeleton? What kinda conspiracy is going on here ?
Nathan questions " What? Since when there's a skeleton in that story ? You people are so– "
" A horror version of it , thank you very much " Rachael cuts in , placing the skull back in Nathan's hand.
She smiles sweetly " Take good care if this guy okay? Or else I will make sure to empty you brain like this ."
-----------------------------------------------------
It's fucking 4: 30 pm. 4:30 !? Does drama club even understand? He is so late ! Sooo late for practice . And these lunatics don't even care !
Heck Racheal totaly threatened him there . He could sue no ? He could whin to his dad .
" Dad thsi girl didn't let me practice! the reason i couldn't practice properly!" .
He would listen no ? Before loosing his shit no ?
No . He would before even hearing it . Nathan starightends his back , leaning against wall. His dad would schold him. His coach , team members, coach's son , ancestors, descendants, heck even at the audience he would yell angry red .
" Why had I had to fuck myself over man...." Nathan moans loudly " it so fucking stupid...I don't even wanna be here "
Practice ground is basically just behind this. And he can here everyone yelling while doing so . Heck he couldn't even stretch with others today.
He runs his hand through hair , pushing his sweaty hair back .
A humman being has 206 bones . Children 300 . Nathan shall forever be grateful for what ever reason drma club was given an adult skeleton.
But there's a problem. Out of 206 he has found a few of them only. He lists them , just in case you know they yell at him . And God knows if Ms Miranda suddenly has the realisation she actually has the authority to expand his volunteering time .
One pelvic bone , one whole above wrist joint with all caroal , meta carpal . Minus one little finger missing.
One numerous. Another alna . Notscure if they belong to the same hand .
One entire side of 12 ribs and half of spine.
Okay Nathan decides . Not so bad now . Only few system is missing. How come Rachael couldn't find anything?
" Ah so lazy " he shnorts .
The sound echoes in the room loudly . A reminder that evryone has left . Another dialogue delivery practice session apprently m Bruno had offered him hs 'p ' smile . And Max a very hard back pat .
Rachael has done nothing. Just marched oitctje room with " get the job done my slave " attitude.
" Oh freaking annoying " he sighes .
The room's a mess . Boxes here and there , weirdest of the wigs one would ever seen. Some fake body parts . Some realistic enough to put med school in shame . And some very suspicious looking staff .
One such would be leather belt , chain and a very wide rope. Now Nathan isn't a picky guy but what's this ?
This is suspicious! Chain . Leather jacket . Handcuffs. Gag and knife .
It's either a serial killer or something to shades of gray enactment is going on here . Or was going on at some point.
Something white colour thing picks out in one of the boxes . Very highlighted among other things. The shape is a bit odd .
Nathan doesn't give it much thought , could be a ball socket joint. He needs to look anyway.
He dragged the box a bit closer . Covering plastic top is bit tearing at the corner. He pulls onto it . And before he can peel it off entirely, the doorknob rattles with full force .
Startled he looks back. Who ? They left him already so why the hurry now ?
The rattling doesn't slow down one bit.
Nathan times fully towards the door. Should he grabs something, just in case it's somethingor someone unexpected....
Turns out he wouldn't have to worry for that long . The door opens in the 3rd attempt of forceful rattling.
It swings open . Nathan ready with the humerous, pointing steady fast at the uninvited guest. That's the strongest thng in here right now .
But oh well ! Talk about someone unexpected..
" Huh ?! " Nathan snapps " why the fuck are you here ?!"
