Little Play

Clubmeister · Post by **Clubmeister** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 1:40 pm

This play is based on super-talented (and super-funny) fan fiction story of EEA "By the train station" (part-2)
http://let-the-right-one-in.com/fancontent/ff/part-2
If somebody hasn't read it and does't know, what is all about, here's small introduction:
Lucy, who is brash and cheerful girl, meets Eli and Oskar one night in the train station and brings chaos and fun into their lives (sometimes not wishing it). Until finally they become friends and Lucy accidentally gets infected and becomes a vampire too.
This play is based on that part of the story in which Eli is trying to teach Lucy about her new life, but Lucy only ends up making Eli angry.

Roles and performers
Eli - Cricketsong
Lucy - EEA
Oskar - Google translator
Music, mixing, scenario - Clubmeister
Сommunication services - Gkmoberg1

Text:
Lucy as a narrator: Well being a (Oh yeah I forgot that word that Eli does not like), Oskar told me never to mention that 7 letter forbidden word in front of Eli. She goes all crazy and then there will be many broken bones. Possibly broken furniture too and he does not want to disturb the neighbors.
So here I was ready to start my first lesson!

"Lesson 1. We live on blood."
Eli wrote on the chalk board. We were in the living room. We had moved into a one room apartment that Eli had rented. If things went well Eli said we could stay here for a year!
So I wrote down what she had written.
"We need blood to live."
"Like the rest we want to live."
I wrote down everything Eli said!
"This is too much!"
I had filled out a whole notebook! Eli had gone on and on about this and that.
"Eli are you sure we are not ...."
"No, what did I say we live on?"
I browse through my notes. What had Eli said? Oskar was trying to help me by signaling the answer.
"On love?"
"On love?!"
I was a bad student.

“Human blood the only good blood. It has to be fresh."
"What if is one day old?"
"Is no good."
"What if its store in the freezer?"
"Is no good."
"But doesn't blood have an expiration date. It should be..."
"Is no good."
"What if it comes from another animal?"
"It is no good Lucy."
"What about..."
“R-r-r-r...”
----------------
"Lesson 2. Myths"
So after all that running around the lessons continue.
Eli brought out a mirror, an old camera, some onions, some garlic, and a Bible.
"First: none of these things affect us."
I raised my hand.
"Yes Lucy."
"Does that mean I can eat onions and garlic?"
"No."
"But you said..."
“R-r-r-r...”
----------------
"Lesson 3. Fashion sense"
"We-wear-what-we-can-find."
Eli wrote on the squeaky chalk board. Eli was facing the chalk board. I was about to raise my hand. Oskar brought it down.
"You want more trouble."
"Were we get our clothes from:"
"1.Garbage can"
"2.Laundry room"
"3.Steal clothes"
"4.From our victims"
"5.From strangers"
Then she took out a set of clothes.
"So what do you guys think?"
"The’re gorgeous!"
"Well.."
I had to find trouble again. I took the clothes.
"They smell."
"What else?"
"They are sticky."
"What else?"
"They are worm out."
"What else?"
"But worst. They don't match! Yellow with pink!"
"What else?"
"Eli you have no fashion sense!"
And that did it. She was after me! I was running for my life one more time.
"R-r-r-r... I'll show you fashion sense!"
"But Eli at least wash the clothes!" I said to her as I ran.
"R-r-r-r..."
"There's the store to buy clothes from!"
"I am the expert! Not you!"
----------------
"Lesson 4. Sleeping in the tub"
Eli came out for a minute and I asked Oskar:
"You are kidding?"
"No."
"Sleeping on a tub?"
"That is why we got an apartment with two bathrooms."
"I am not sleeping there."
"Lucy don't start. Eli is going to get mad."
Then Eli came back.
"So we sleep in a tub."
I had to I just had to know why. So I raised my hand.
"Why do we sleep in a tub?"
Then Eli broke the white chalk.
"I mean..."
"Is not comfy."
"Is cold."
"Is weird."
"Is too dark."
"What if water begins to leak."
"I won’t be able to stretch."
"Is creepy."
"Why not use a c.."
"A coffin! I told you we are not.."
"Vampires?" Uh oh! The forbidden word!
"R-r-r-r... You better start to run!"
----------------
"Last Lesson. Learning how to lure future victims."
"1. Pretend to be helpless under a bridge."
"2. Wait on top of a tree and jump on the first person you see."
"3. Take a nice bubble bath if your future victim is a 12 year old blond boy."
I raised my hand.
"Really? Aren't there other ways?"
"Like..."
"We could advertise!"
"What?"
"Here."
I showed Eli the newspaper's classified.
"People ask for all kinds of things."
"Sounds like a good idea."
"It does."
Eli agreed! Finally she was not chasing me around!
"Here is an advertisement I wrote."
I handed the paper to Eli.
“We offer several services:
cleaning, fixing, pest problem, protection, cut your grass, shovel the snow away, etc. And all for free! We only ask for a pint of your blood! No money just your blood. Blood must be fresh!”
"Well we could try and see how it goes."
So we ran the advertisement in the classifieds and waited for the results!
Then the next night we checked! We had a lot of requests!
"Wow! We have so many! Is going to take years to do them all!"
"Well, - time is on our side!"

A pretty awesome play! Thanks Clubmeister for putting together this mini play. You put a lot of hard work into it.

I enjoy the music, the sound effects, especially the one were Eli gets mad at Lucy.

Thanks to Criketsong for playing Eli. I think you captured Eli's voice really well. Especially when Lucy makes her lose her patience.

And a special thanks to the google translator as Oskar. Who knew that the google translator would be useful for once.

And to GK for offering his communication services. They were really helpful in making the play possible.

Without your story there merely wouldn't be any play

Superb! This makes my day

Clubby - the music throughout is tremendous. you are amazing, absolutely amazing. break it down for us - how long did it take to produce this? I'm suspecting there were MANY hours of sound editing done to create this. The result is brilliant. *applause*

EEA & Cricketsong - bravo!

*applause*

google translator - mehhh

That was fantastic, very entertaining and amusing!

I tip my hat to each of the participants for a job well done. Bravo!

I love it! Try as I might, I couldn't find a part I didn' like. Sooo...the parts I ESPECIALLY liked:

1. The soundtrack (music) (THAT goes without saying)

2. The soundtrack (special effects)
3 Eli's growl

4. Lucy always going where fools fear to tread.

5. The laugh track (even though you didn't need it.)
6. Oskar's voice. I nominate Google Translator for an 'Oskar'

7. Nice touch, using red as Eli's font color in the 'screenplay'.

ENCORE!!

Thanks, Gk!
And, as EEA mentioned above, without your help everything would be much harder

You're right, it took some time. But it wasn't a HARD WORK to me - mostly a fun. I was gigling myself, while doing this

Thanks moonvibe for kind words!
I'm glad that you like it

Yes, Eli's growl is cool

It's Cricket's work - she's done several "R-r-r-r", I only choose the best.
Oskar's voice happened as a matter of circumstances. I needed a little boy, but where I could find him? There're no little boys among "The infected".
Or - a girl. I asked Intrige, but she was too busy. Then I remembered a speaker button on the bottom of Google Translator. And I thought: "That's it! The pronunciation is absolutely perfect

And I can change the pitch a little".

In the midst of a tough day, I took 5 minutes for myself and played this. What fun! Ahh, my worries have been sent packing for a while.

I should play it again tomorrow or any day where the stresses are building up too high.

EEA, how does it feel to have had your story redone as a play and then produced?

Clubmeister, this is a tremendous production. You really did a terrific job with the editing and all the background effects and then the music. :bravo:

EEA · Post by **EEA** » Thu May 16, 2013 6:48 pm

Thank you very much.

Well I feel really really happy about the results.

I was surprise when Clubmeister told me he wanted to do a play based on the By The Train Station ff. I know he had said that this was his favorite story but still I was

.

And I was glad to be part of the process and was happy when Clubmeister would report on how he was doing with the play.

And the final result showed that he worked hard in putting this mini play together.

I said before that this ff story was going to be serious. Basically the story changed when Lucy sees Eli pulling the trunk. What I had before was that Eli was waiting for Oskar and he wasn't in the trunk. And then I thought what if Oskar was in the trunk and he and Eli wanted to be alone so Oskar could ask Eli to do a pact and become infected.
But then as Eli is waiting for Lucy to leave Oskar taps on the trunk and then chaos ensued.

We, The Infected
