Shivering in the darkness of the wings, Soo Yong carefully stepped onto the stage with the rest of her class, blinking beneath the blinding stage lights. The Korean raised an indigo sleeve to shield her eyes, discerning through the harsh glow the quiet depths of the school auditorium, feeling more than seeing the expectant presence of many imaginary spectators.
Soo Yong's skin prickled with anticipation, rapidly heating beneath the spotlight in spite of the chill air. She looked around, curious if any of the other students in her class were feeling the same excitement, or if she was merely being a giddy little Freshman again. After all, this was an open class--year didn't matter in here, except where it also meant experience. Her eyes caught on her shadow flitting about the stage, and she smiled, swaying to make it dance.
"All the world's a stage, da ze," she quoted, giggling slightly as she thought back on her Appa, who made his living on performance. Soo Yong had never been an actress, or on a crew, or even been near a formal stage before (unless Appa's shadow plays counted, which she was pretty sure they didn't), but she couldn't help but like the atmosphere already. She glanced up again, wearing an enigmatic expression, and hoped that she would also like her fellow players.
Something suddenly fell with a sharp thud in the wings, and Soo Yong jumped with a barely restrained squeak of surprise.
