Note: Cameron is a spare participant we may add to both increase our capacity and help in case somebody bales last minute.
Ren meanders casually a few seconds after the bell
REN: to the room while entering Woooww, we got a full house in detention today!
Ren surveys the room as she walks over to the table.
REN: Wazzup losers!
Ren greets them with a handshake. If they don’t reciprocate, “you’re not gonna leave me hangin’ are ya?”
Jesse (and maybe Cameron) respond.
REN: Made ya a new mix! Figured it might come in handy to pass the time.
Jesse (and maybe Cameron) respond. If they comment on any of the songs specifically, say something like “Yeah! You seemed to enjoy it when you were hangin out with me at the [radio] station.”
Take note if they comment on any specific song. If they do, play that before Wannabe.
REN: to Cameron Holy Shit! Duuuude. Is that the cool camera Mrs. Anderson gave you to take photos for the yearbook?
She picks it up and starts playing with it.
JESSE/ CAMERON:
REN: I can’t believe Mrs. Anderson still trusts you with this after the food fight yesterday!
JESSE/ CAMERON:
REN: Show us how it works!
JESSE/ CAMERON:
REN: Damn! Jesse, it even records video!
JESSE:
REN: Someday whole movies will be digital.
JESSE:
REN: I heard the new Star Wars movie shot some stuff on digital
REN: to Cameron The photos aren’t as good as the ones with your fancy film camera, but how cool is it that you can see them right away!!
CAMERON/ JESSE:
REN: Shall we document the wild life of Bakersfield High?
CAMERON/ JESSE:
Give the camera back to Cameron if they don’t already have it.
REN: to Jesse Alright Spielberg, what should our first shot be?
JESSE: chooses the first group to shoot at.
REN: Ah yes, the rare exotic breed know colloquially as The Popular Kids. They use strange and elaborate grooming practices to attract members of the opposite sex. The peak of the popular kids existence is an elaborate ritual known as “Prom”. If they do not find a suitable mate for this ritual, they may go extinct, which honestly may be better for the rest of the population, as they are known to betray other members of the species. *cough Katie cough*
Here we have loudest sub-species of high schooler known as the musical theater kids. They spend most of their time singing and performing elaborate dances… what is particularly unique about this group is that their performance doesn’t seem to have any connection to finding a mate… or at least the male of the species doesn’t seem to have any particular sexual interest in the female. Regardless they do seem to be having a grand time.
Finally we have the Brainiacs, known for their superior intelligence, and distinct lack of social prowess. It is unknown if the Brainiacs ever mate, but they are exceptionally skilled at securing the favor of the ruling class known as teachers, which gains them access to elite institutions through a very exclusive currency know as scholarships.
Perhaps the other students notice and react. Be mindful that an inter-actor may need to shut it down if they haven’t finished their essential beats.
ANYONE (whenever they start to run out of steam): Where the hell is Mr. Sharpe?
REN: Oh yeah…. I saw him using the pay phone. He seemed a bit frazzled.
ASHLEY: If he’s not here, does that mean we can leave?
REN: shrugging to their table I dunno… maybe we go smoke a joint under the bleachers?
Additional commentary until Sharpe arrives looking frazzled.
