[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]As curtain call came to a close, Hyder smiled as the crowd cheered for Damien, Mara and Elthrial... actually, he cheered with them. Those three had the biggest parts in the show and they certainly deserved the cheering and standing ovations they received. When the curtain was lowered once again, Hyde had wanted to go see his friends, but almost immediately Mara and Elthrial were being bombarded with autographs, pictures, flowwers and the like... and in the confusion he had lost Damien, so Hyder simply headed to the dressing room and got out of the annoying costume and make-up. He was still wondering how girls survived with so much gunk plastered to their faces all the time... then again, it probabl was not near as much as he had to wear when performing. Eventually the crowds disappeared and the boys could reunite with the true show stoppers. He hugged Mara quickly then quite literally swept Elthrial up off her feet and spun her around quickly before stopping but continued to hold her. He figured her feet were more than killing her by now and it was a miracle she hadn't torn a ligament or something in the past few weeks. "You did awesome Elthrial" he smiled at her, gently kissing her forehead and turning to look at Mara and Damien "so, are we all going to the after party or are we heading to the apartment to catch up on sleep?"[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]After a few hours of twirling, leaping, sashaying, plies, countless other fancy moves and being lifted, Mara was almost relieved it was done. She had had a grand time, but it was quite a long performance... and she and El had been in basically every scene. As soon as the lights had gone off and the crowd had dispersed Mara practically ran to the dressing room, had another crew member unzip the back of her dress so she could shrugg it off, toss on a sweatshirt tha said 'Dance.' and slip both her pointe shoes and her basic ballet shoes into her dance bag so she could put on fuzzy socks and a pair of long ugg boots over her socks. As usual, she had leggings on as well, she had just rolled them up above the knee for her performance so that the pantyhose she wore as part of her costume covered them. After she walked out and joined the guys, Mara realized Elthrial was probably still getting changed, her last costume looked to be quite the pain.[/fieldbox]
