A3! Summer Troupe - Tumblr Posts

annotation hc (summer troupe part1)

here’s the beginning of the summer troupe’s annotation hcs!! these are so fun to write, so i’ll probably send out misu and kazu’s later today!

Tenma: just in case, spoilers for this one!! Since he used to get major stage fright, I think he would probably wear out his script pretty fast. He would always be clutching onto it once roles are assigned. He probably memorizes his lines fast but he’d be too nervous to not have his script on him, even after everyone else is off book. There are the most markings around any long passages and entrances since he’s fine once he gets going

Yuki: cute stickers on the cover!! Uses cute stationary materials throughout the script, but that doesn’t mean he’s all willy nilly about it!! Yuki is vv careful about where he uses his stickers and markers. He probably color codes lines too! Once they get to blocking scenes (figuring out where you will stand and move while acting), he will take extensive notes in an extra notepad for costumes. For example, if there seems to be a lot of movement in the scene he will make sure that the costumes used there will allow for free movement

Muku: muku seems to be the type that writes their reaction to the script on the page. For example, if a character has a cool monologue or a smooth line he would probably write ‘soo cool!!’ in the margins, or something to that effect! Will also write a lot of notes for himself on delivery, eg: ‘tenma said to deliver this line more confidently’ or ‘director says this one should be louder!’ or ‘***practice this monologue later***’

Summer troupe rob a bank-

this was a fun one!!!

Tenma: tenten offered to just pay for the troupe's budget, but noooo?? Robbing a bank is fuunnn?? He'd have to go with misumi to make sure any triangles don't throw him off. 

Muku: the lookout! Muku is a nervous, but speedy boi, so if he sees anyone coming he'd be able to run over to the rest of the troupe and get them outta there!!

Yuki: he suggested it!! Poor boy needs money to finance his fabric and accessories for costumes. Sakyo will be vv confused when they suddenly have their over-budget costumes paid for

Misumi: u already know how good misu is at hopping around walls and evading capture. He's the one sneaking in! Unfortunately, he would be easily distracted if any of the décor in the bank is shaped vaguely triangular

Kazunari: kazu is the one who learned the hours of the bank and the security guards. Also got into the security system! He wanted to play "heist music" too but tenten vetoed that idea :')

annotation hcs (summer troupe pt 2)

here’s the rest of the summer troupe!! reminder that requests are open~~ Misumi: cute triangles allll over the cover!! What else did you expect lol. I feel like he would painstakingly draw a triangle border around the pages. Or he could use washi tape with a cute triangle design!! In terms of annotating his lines, I think there would honestly be minimal notes on the actual lines, there seems to be more decoration for fun. (spoiler warning here!!!!!) Masu has been learning ab theatre since he was little so i feel like a lot of delivery and projection would come quickly for him. Loses his script on occasion, but he’s off book pretty quick, so it usually isn't a problem

Kazunari: i think kazu’s notes are definitely methodological. I think since he’s already in uni he already has a set system for taking notes that he’s been using for a couple of years and that he’s comfortable with. I feel like he probably has vv aesthetically pleasing notes! He might also have a couple of sketches in the margins when he gets inspired during rehearsal and while studying lines. probably doesn’t lose his script too often!

Tenma once put his hand flat on the hot end of an iron because he "didn't know where the heat came out of". Yeaaa, that hand burned and it was real ouchie for about a week. Thankfully, Misumi helped him out with holding things around the dorm. As far as anyone at school knows, he got burned while catching a hot pan that would have fallen on his director, like the total gentleman he is. (Banri laughs his ass off every time one of the kids from Tenma's class comes by Mankai to check on the ‘hero’.)

For Tenma’s first birthday at Mankia, Muku went out to a bookstore and bought a ton of children’s fairytale books. Shorter illustrated ones, old novel length ones, compilations of stories, you name it! He even enlisted Kazu to help him find some stories that are popular in countries around the world.

(They even found and old Zafran fairy tale book and Citron had Guy read it out loud for everyone in the common room after dinner, “Just like when I was a little Citron!!!”)

Upon Tenma’s confused glance at the stack of books, Muku explained that he got all the stories for him because he realized that tenma probably never had bedtime stories read to him as a kid, or even read them himself. Sure, when he was 12 he acted in a tv series that parodied fairy tales, but muku adamantly exclaimed that that didn't count! He wanted temna to experience the magical feeling that the stories can bring you, and the unparalleled experience of reading one just as you fall asleep, soul warmed by the reassurance of a happy ending.

Tenma was incredibly touched upon seeing sweet little muku get so serious about giving him a taste of childhood.
