Welcome to Raistlin's Castle, the home of our feared Head of Slytherin.

Members of Raistlin the Wizard's Group:
Partner's In Crime

This thread is your meeting place, where Raist will give instructions to each person in his group. Each individual will have their own practice thread, in which it is Raist's job to guide you through the boot camp, concentrating on the following:

-Your talent for the final round (must be different to the audition round)
-Your outfit, hair and make-up
-Your contestant campaign
More information on each of these can be found in the main forum.

Good Luck!

Raistlin was patiently waiting for his pupils to arrive. He had ordered his servents to prepare the 'Meetings Room', a large room with torches every meter in the stone walls.

A big fire was happiply burning in the far end of the room. In the centre of the room there was a long rectangular table in dark wood, carved in silver and emeralds.

The whole room transmitted a Slytherin vibe. Several snake Portraits could be seen on the walls and above the fire there was a huge portrait of himself.

Raistlin was with his eyes closed reviewing all of the performances. Yes he was rather happy with the group that was left at his guidance, they had lots of potential and he planned to expand that potential making winners of all of them.

Marie snorted slightly as she stepped inside the dimly lit room, looking around with a slight wrinkle of her nose. Castle indeed. Right out of the 14th century too. Though the way it'd been decorated, it looked much more like a dungeon than a castle. It gave a queer feeling of unease as to what Raistlie had planned for them. Surely he wouldn't leave them hanging from hard steel handcuff now, would he?

"Could you have made this room anymore green and silver?" she muttered as she sat in one of the unnaturally straight chairs by the table. Apparently it didn't only look uncomfortable.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Fri Nov 09 2007, 17:45

Raistlin saw the first of his pupils to arrive. She was looking rather displeased.

"Welcome, and congratulations on your audition. Is any thing bothering you?"

Raistlin looked at her with interest.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Fri Nov 09 2007, 17:50

She raised an eyebrow at him and then looked around, flicking her wand innocently in the air. The portraits of snake were quickly replaced by portraits of badgers, and instead of the huge portrait of Raistlin, a gigantic painting of a purple hippo could be found. The carvings on the table changed to a light shade of brown that matched the dark wood but didn't feel too slytheriny anymore.

Tucking her wand behind her ear, she carefully placed her elbows on the table top, propped up, and rested her chin in her palms, tilting her head at him with a sweet smile. "No, nothing at all," she said with a happy grin.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Fri Nov 09 2007, 17:56

Raistlin looked at the changes that took place in the room. Which only lasted a few moments before turning into normal.

He smiled at her "Surely you didn't thought my castle was protection free, did you? But good, I like your boldness, maybe we can channel that into your performance."

Raistlin clap his hands and suddenly the table was filled with several types of food and drinks

"Please serve yourself we will have a lot to talk and while the others don't arrive maybe we can start discussion your final performance. Have you had any thoughts about it yet?"

Raistlin stared at her fixedly.

Stephy ran into the room saying "Sorry Im late. I hope Im not that late". Stephy quickly crossed the room and took a seat beside Marie. She then started to look around and saw the many decorations that Raistlin had there. "Think you got enough Slytherin decorations here" Stephy joked as she looked at the fire that was provding the room with very little light

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 11:58

Raistlin was still waiting for Marie's answer when Stephy got in the room.

Raistlin waited for her to sit down before addresing to her.

"Welcome. I was just asking Marie if she had any thoughts on what to do for the final round. I ask the same to you, what other hidden talent do you have? Oh and please eat something."

Raistlin gave a quick look at the door the PIC's hadn't arrived yet.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 14:21

"So sorry I'm late!" said Elana as she rushed into the meeting room. She took a moment to catch her breath, looking around the room. The very Slytherin-y decor wasn't exactly her type, but she had to grin at the enormous portrait of Rai above the fire. She bit back her request to have a smaller signed copy, and said, "Oh, and sorry the others aren't here. I've sent them owls, so they should be coming soon...but until then I'll just represent us, I guess."

Helping herself to a snack, Elana smiled at Rai, and the others of their group that had arrived, Marie and Stephy. "Too bad we can't go with the same talent, eh?" she commented. "Thought we'd be able to stick with musicals, we even had some things planned out..." She sighed, shrugging, then brightened up. "I'm sure we'll be able to find something, though."

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 14:34

Lifey stepped delicately into the room, wondering what was in store for the PiCs. She quickly spotted Elana and made a bee line for her.

"Hey luv. What are we doing?" she whispered. she didn't have to whisper, but the atmosphere was so creepy she figured it would be best.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 16:20

Streams opened the door hesitantly, wondering if anyone was yet there as the room was so hushed. She stepped inside and almost immediately laughed aloud. The room was so very...Rai. Still smiling, she headed over to him. "Hello, Rai," she said cheerfully. "I must admit I rather like what you've done with the place. I've always been rather partial to emeralds, as they are my birthstone, and though I do prefer more sunlight, fire is at times a necessary replacement," she mused aloud, then nodded politely at him and turned away to seek out her fellow PIC's.

At this stage she was really happy to have partners which she could turn to, and high-fived them merrily. "So, anyone have any ideas yet?" she asked in a normal voice, helping herself to a piece of dark, moist chocolate cake.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 19:35

Stephy started to eat some of the food provided for them as she tried to think of somthing she could do for the next talent, but she just couldnt think of anything. Snapping back out of her thoughts she quickly spotted more newcomers. Stephy gave them a wave as she continued to try to think of something. "Well I did a drawing so if any one wants to do that they could. I dont know what I could do though." Stephy said

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sat Nov 10 2007, 22:35

Lifey grinned as she hugged Streamers "No ideas yet...but" she cheerily stole a bit of Streamer's cake, not bothered to get her own, "I love this cake! cake makes everything better." She received a look from streamers, and went to get her own piece of cake meekly, but with a slightly impish grin hiding beneath the surface.

Marie watched the other's appearance before turning back to Raistlin, shrugging at his question.

"I suppose writing could do it," she said.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 07:26

Raistlin was pleased to see almost of his pupils were there by now.

"Will the PIC's want to wait for Jenn to start discussing the matter or do you want to start to make plans already?"

He paused a little bit and took a sip of a very relaxing herbal tea

"Stephy you need to think, what else do you like to do and how could that be turned into a talent."

Looking in Marie's direction he asked

"Writing? There's many ways in which could de developped, is that your choice?"

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 13:41

"We can start planning, she'll come," said Elana. "Well, the one idea that I've come up with is that we could each be a character from a different play, or maybe even a movie! So we come onstage, but then will get "confused" because there was some "misunderstanding" among us," she said with a laugh. "But we'd resolve it, of course, and end up putting on as good, or better, a show as last time. I know, not too well thought out yet, but it could be a start!"

She hugged her Streams and Lifey, and said, "Any ideas for a play? Can't be a musical, sadly...but we'll think of something! But it can be anything you want, we don't have to stick with this."

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 15:00

"oooo!" lifey said excitedly, "i like it! i'm good at acting." Lifey had just finished a school play, "Could i be lady macbeth? i've always wanted to do a production of macbeth!"

She began pacing, trying to figure out how the idea could pan out to the final performance.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 19:11

"How about if we stick with movies?" Streams said musingly, licking pistachio-green icing off her fingers. "I just think it's easier to think of movies than plays...and besides, all the thees and thous kill me."

Spreading her arms enthusiastically, she continued, "We could pretend we're shooting a movie, and everyone's reading their lines, except OOPS the scripts got mixed up! So we're all bumbling along with our lines, going on and on with not a clue..."

She dropped into a hard-backed silver chair. Frowning as she remembered the cushy armchairs Huffies were so fond of, she conjured a pillow and stuffed it behind her back.

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 19:12

Stephy listened to everyone as they thought up some ideas. Then she heard Elana suggest a play. "Well I might be able to act... but I might not be that great" Stephy said to the room at large. "I have never been in one before but I guess I could give it a try."

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 19:15

"Umm Stephy," Streams said slowly. "I'm not sure, of course, but I don't think we're all meant to perform together...this thread is for individual planning. Except the PIC's are a group so we're group planning...I could be wrong, but I'm almost sure..."

Mumbling to herself, she stood and approached Rai. "Excellent cake, sir." As she poured herself a cup of mint tea, she asked, "We are meant to perform individually, are we not?"

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 20:34

Fastening her closet lock onto a thin chain, Jenn fastened it around her neck and hid it beneath her shirt. "Just in case Elana tries to sneak in my closet again..." She muttered to herself as she reached out and pushed the massive doors open. Not really noticing the decorations, her brown eyes zeroed in on the occupants and hurried over to them.

"Sorry, I had to settle a huge fight over space, and quiet, and bacon smears." Jenn rolled her eyes. "But ignore all of that." Conjuring up a poofy yellow and black couch, she hopped on and settled herself down.

"So what's the plan? I actually have a question, why does this talent have to be different from the talent we showed in the audition? I thought we'd just have to do another form of the same talent..." She grinned widely. "Cause I don't know about you but...I don't have that many different talents to show...as sad as it is."

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Sun Nov 11 2007, 20:48

"Im sure theres something you can come up with. I too am having difficulties comeing up with something.' Stephy said to Jenn. "Well I just cant think of something to do right now. Everyone is thinking of great ideas. I dont have that much talent either. All I do all day is school work and role playing. Maybe I could do something with role playing" Stephy said as she tried her best to think of something

Subject: Re: Raistlin's Castle Mon Nov 12 2007, 04:51

"Well, well... easy girls."

Raistlin took another sip of tea

"First. Only the PIC's perform as group. Stephy and Marie will perform alone."

He stopped for a while to watch their expressions.

"Now this room was only for you to know where you can come to if you need to talk to each others, this is common place for all of you in this group, beacuse even though you're going against each other you can help each other noentheless."

Raistlin clappeds hands 3 times and 3 house elfs suddenly appeared near the door.

"Now my servents will take each of you to your own individual rooms where you'll discuss your performance and train for it. I'll be meeting each one of you in your own rooms to help you. You can go now"

Raistlin got up and left from a lateral door which was concealed so it'd look like a normal wall.
