I do, they're some of the things I do enjoy remembering fully. One example I have is the first showing of 'Starlight Express' memorized down to the death ramps it had along with having to speed up the score due to how fast the performers were going on their roller-skates.

The set honestly made me think of a Hot Wheels set.

[ Good ol' Starlight Express...the boot camp of theatre productions.. ]

Yeah?

[ He might now know a thing about theater or toy cars, but if it helps get her mind off the waypoints, fine by him. ]

Doesn’t sound like they really thought that one through.

They really weren't thinking through, they wanted a 'wow' gimmick to promote the production with and with how successful Cats was, they needed it to be even bigger.

[ The age of the Mega Broadway sure was a thing as Dolly was more than happy to take her mind off the waypoints. Carefully, Dolly goes to dig up the memory and sure enough...that is indeed a murder ramp of Hot Wheels proportions..OSHA should've been involved. ]

I still think he should've just went with the animated cartoon rather than making it a stage production.

Right, right.

[ Nodding along despite still not having a clue. He presses a paw against his temple, not exactly a fan of using the pearls to share memories, so he’ll mostly just take her word for it rather than focus too deeply. Can’t have any of his leaking through on accident. ]

D-didn’t realize you were so into that stuff, Dolly. Maybe you should get your own play going around here.

You think so? I wasn't sure to be fair with you as Tenna was setting up the TV studio he was wanting to air.

[ Sure, Dolly wasn't exactly sure how Tenna was going to broadcast television, but she wasn't going to try and take that. Well there's that and... ]

Do you think we could set up a stage play for fun?

Tenna... [ His ears perk slightly before dropping. ] Haven't seen that guy around much lately.

[ Instinctively, he looks toward the direction of the clinic. ]

Huh. Well. He likes competition, doesn't he? [ All those game shows certainly made Bigby think so. ] ... I'm sure that stage is big enough for the both of you.

I hope he's alright, I haven't seen Tenna for a while now. [ Dolly has no clue about the sleeping illness having claimed Tenna. ]

Tenna sure did, I heard he had held a gameshow for one of the quests a while ago. I wonder how that one went?

[ Bigby brought up a very wonderful and true statement.. ] Then that might be something to try out this summer if there's nothing big coming up during it. Though, I wonder what play might work for it?

All I know is I got a gift basket for one of 'em.

[ Not that he knows what to do with any of the stuff in it. Anyway. ]

Good question though. Got any favorites? [ His head tilts. ] I'm sure people might have some ideas. Lot of creative types around.

[ Holy smokes...a gift basket!? Dolly definitely missed out on that one, thinking it was the classical fruits basket deal. Oh Dolly... ]

Let's see, I have a lot of favorites...Little Shop of Horrors is a classic that's high on my list as is Goethe's Faust. I think there was a stage production for 'The Juniper Tree' at some point, but I'm not sure.

[ Dolly is definitely thinking hard and giving Babs a run for her money on having a huge favorites list. ] That's true too, a lot of folks here are incredibly talented and could think of some fun ways to make a stage production work.

Well, there you go. Plenty of ideas to start with.

[ He huffs a little in amusement. ]

Sounds like you might have a project on your hands, Dolly. You’ll tell me how it goes, yeah?

It definitely is a project, I'll have to let it brew a bit and see what sticks.

[ Dolly smiles warmly on the other end of the Grumpearl, it'd be her first time attempting a show of some kind. ]

What about you, Bigby? Do you have a project in mind?

Me? [ He huffs. Absolutely not. ] I'm not really a projects guy. Got plenty keeping me busy anyway.

[ Quests, odd jobs, kitchen duty... ]

With Sanji in the clinic though I might need to see some of his menu ideas through. Just for the time being.

[ ...That's right, Sanji fell to the sleeping illness. Dolly remembers that day as her smile falters a bit. Sanji really was a good if not a bit oddly energetic person...Dolly missed him. ]

Do you need any help at the kitchen? I don't know if Sanji had a cookbook written down or not, but I think we froze the pierogis Sanji made for the Clue game night. Would you like me to check and see if there's some left?

[ Hopefully the frozen pierogis are still there and plenty leftover...Sanji had a field day making them if memory serves Dolly well and it does... ]

No cookbook, but he had some notes. Just have to figure out the recipes.

[ A kitchen without a real head chef is tough, but the Oran Berries managed before any of them got here. Bigby isn't all too worried. ]

You don't have to, Dolly. I'm sure Sanji would prefer you have those. We try to keep to big pot type of meals anyway.

[ Lot of mouths to feed in their guild, after all. ]

[ Notes are better than nothing, they're still something to work off from. ]

I'll leave it open then just in case something happens, especially given how the Bay has been sometimes.

[ Dolly has learned pretty well that weird things like to happen in the Bay and when they do happen...it's better to be prepared. Don't worry about it. ]

I wish you the best of luck though, the big pot meals aren't the easiest and pretty difficult to transfer.

Thanks. Luckily I'm not as hopeless in the kitchen anymore, but these aren't exactly the kind of shoes I expected to fill.

[ But for a friend's sake, he'll don them all the same, until whenever he wakes up. ]

We'll have some stories to swap, I'm sure. Stay safe out there for now though, alright?

That sounds like a fair trade to me, I'll be sure to share some stories.

[ Well, once it's good to come out of the archives anyways, gotta let the hype about the waystations cool down a bit. ]

I'll see you later Bigby, please stay safe too. [ And with that, Dolly hangs up the Grumpearl so to speak and places back into the satchel. ]
