When El Dramaturg knocks on the door, a bright chime of surprise came from the other side. Followed by the sound of someone small and cute picking papers off the floor in a hurry."
(a chime-like sound of genuine eagerness)
"Oh...Mr. Dramaturg... You caught me while I was practicing... There! Please, do come in. And... your new friend too."
The white double doors creak open to reveal a mini-theatre hall. A tiny theatre, with no more than fifty seats, lush velvet red cushioning adorning the otherwise humble seating space.
A single aisle leads downwards to a small wooden stage at the bottom, and there, a single girl stands under the bright lights, a little nervous --- but more filled with eager joy. Her mentor had come to see her, after all!
"Lumi~~~" El Dramaturg practically takes a flying leap off the stairs, red theatre robes flowing behind him. Even as Eclair looked to see another 'accident' happen, she could only be disappointed. El Dramaturg landed right on the tip of his boots at the bottom flight, before putting both hands up in the air in a v-like flourish, celebrating an unearned victory!
"What incredible luck!", thought Eclair. Sometimes even a clown can land on their two feet.
The golden-masked man takes both hands of the girl on stage in his, and sways them from left to right--- like one would with a small woodland animal.
"Are you working hard on your speech, Lumi? I brought you a new friend!"
"Oh... Who might this be? Could she be the 'Miss Delulz' you speak so often about?" The young girl peeks from the side of El Dramaturg's red theatre robes.
Lumi sports teal hair that is tied into a pair of short ponytails. A small tiara sits on her head, and a green brooch adorns the middle of her lacy, long-sleeved top. An icy-blue skirt falls down to her knees, unlike her tealish-blue eyes which shine with genuine warmth and interest.
"Oh no, this is Eclair! Hey Eclair, this is Lumi, Lumi, this is Eclair. She’s the new dramaturg I hired at our theatre house. What's up Eclair, why are you sitting all the way back there?"
Unlike Lumi, Eclair chose to remain at the row of seats the highest and furthest away from the stage, quietly observing the going-ons. Unlike her senior, she was not willing to rush into a relationship for the sake of it! Instead, she pushes the middle of her glasses, the glare of her glasses hiding her eyes.
"Ah, Eclair doesn’t speak much for some reason. She’s usually so harsh to me! But its a-okay that she’s observing for now."
At this moment, Eclair had a thousand things --- and not many good --- to say to the golden-masked fool before her. However, she chose to stay silent, for now. Dramaturgy [5] is about evaluation, detached from feelings to tell from good and bad performances! How can a dramaturg get so close to their actresses, acting like... acting like...
... their love partner...?
How audacious!
How scandalous!
How very unprofessional and unHakou-like!
(The middle of Eclair's face turns red, and she thinks no more)
Lumi however perks up, giving a small, shy wave at the girl sitting in half-darkness at the back, “Oh, hello Eclair! It’s… a pleasure to meet you. I suppose... a formal introduction is in order...?"
The timid little girl steps to the front of the stage, and gives a small, polite bow to the empty theatre.
"My name is Lumi Tano. I am an actress at Theatre House Delaroux. And my dream... my aspiration...
... is to become a vtuber!"
Far off in the back, the new female dramaturg narrows her eyes at this declaration.
How... how very audacious!
How will our new female dramaturg respond?
Surely, not by falling for the little act already... right?
Glossary
[5] Dramaturgy - Eclair refers here to the traditional meaning of dramaturgy, which is the analysis and evaluation of stage performances. In current year, dramaturgy has expanded to encompass much, much more, involving the dramaturg in almost all parts of a play from video to song to scriptwriting!
