Chapter Text
When Crowley told yuu that they had to put up a stage play or else pay would be cut, they were torn between rage (i’m here because of you, you dingewaffle) and elation (they had so many plays from their home world that they could convert, heheheh). And (un)fortunatly for the students of NRC, they were at their mercy as participation in the production was mandatory.
Now, they could either A: do something that made them all miserable for the crap they put them through (they loves them but damn) or put on one of their favorite plays/musicals and get a taste of home. Honestly, they’re just happy that they had their phone with them that had a bunch of soundtracks downloaded bc they could not have replicated the songs themselves.
“Should we be concerned?”Riddle asked as he watched the prefect rub their hands together while smiling like the devil.
“Of course not! I just know that whatever they choose, this production is going to be a hit!” Kalim exclaimed, though even he was side eyeing them.
“There’s just….. So many things to choose! There’s Wicked, Hamilton, Heather’s, Legally blonde- ahahahaha, I have to much POWER!”
“Alright, the herbivor’s lost it.”
“YOU-”
Leona yelped as Yuu suddenly turned to him, pointing at him while smiling maliciously. Yuu cackled, “you are going to do so much work~”
“Nice try, herbivor-”
“Nope, i’m in charge, and i say, you get to do a lot of work! Or you can always complain to Crowley~”
Silence. The rest of the house wardens sat back as Yuu went on a power trip.
“Hey, are we sure that Yuu can’t overblot?” Kalim whispered to his cohorts
“I heard that!”
“they have no magic, of course they can’t.” Vil muttered back.
“LISTEN! I have put up with ya’ll shit -love you though- for long enough! Now it’s your turn!”
“MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!”

Now they just had to make a decision on what play they would do. Contrary to their earlier spiel, they knew this play/musical would likely be watched by foreigners, and while she did want to do something hard, she didn’t want to do something so controversial that they’d get into trouble.
So first thing’s first: no musicals/plays that might already exist here. (no copyright please and thank you)
Another criteria, just to be safe, nothing that celebrates the overthrowing of the monarchy. Personally, they loved those, but seeing as the school is host to 2 royals, and their families might come watch… yeah, not chancing it.
Yuu hummed as they looked up greek mythology on the web. Given how inaccurate the hercules movie was, it would stand to reason that maybe the greek myths from their world, either don’t exist or aren’t accurate in this one. they paused as they stared at the screen.
“Mwahaha haHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHurkhackcough-”

“Why did you have to call a housewarden meeting so early?” Leona mumbled from where he was faceplanted into the table. Usually relatively put together, even Azul and Vil looked like they could keel over any minute.
“To milk this for all it’s worth.” Yuu deadpanned.
“No seriously, i know what musical from my world that we’re gonna put on, and it’s a lot of work. So the earlier we get started the better.”
The housewarden’s looked interested, and even the resident beastman’s ears perked up.
“Oh, and what have you decided on?” Azul asked in his usual slick voice, calculating eyes trained on the prefect to see how much money he can get from this venture. Yuu smiled back feral.
“THIS!” they dramatically slapped the board with the words “EPIC: THE MUSICAL” written in bold on it.
“.....”
“Clap or i’ll smack you.” Rushed applause followed.
“THIS is one of the most popular musicals from my world AND it fits with nrc’s whole vibe.” ‘That and i can simply change the greek god’s names to their roman counterparts.’
“....ok, and what positions do you need filled?” Vil asked skeptically.
“I’m very glad you asked! Bc i’ve lowkey already casted most of the roles already. But i suppose that we should have an audition to make sure they can actually act.”
“Right… and who is who?”
“Well YOU- you’re gonna be Penelope.”
“Are they the hero?”
“Well, no but, Epic doesn’t really have a hero. Penelope is, however, like, one of the 3-4 character’s that isn’t a murderous bastard (all respect to ody).”
“Really?”
“Also, i’m 100% sure that no one else would be able to do her role justice, so!”
“Fair enough, i supposed. Are they a main or side character?”
“Uhhhhh, main-ish? She haunts the narrative, so her performance has to be peek, otherwise it’s gonna be a let down. She has her own songs though!”
“Acceptable. Now who would play the protagonist.”
Yuu paused. Then they twisted their body to a certain beastman. He stared back.
“No. “
“Yes.”
“No.”
“I told you i was gonna put you to work.”
“Absolutly not, herbivore!”
“To late, you have no say.”
“And what exactly would you be able to do if i simply set on my but amd didn’t move?”
“Odyseus is a king~”
“....”
“Gotcha~”
“I hate you.”
“As amusing as this exchange is, who else has already been casted by you?” Azul questioned.
“Most roles are already filled. Of course, i have to double check their acting. But there are a few rolls that i will only fill after auditions.”
“And those are?”
“Let’s just say that they’re the most controversial/hated characters of the musical and i will only cast someone for them that would be willing with the possible backlash.”
“...you do realize that it’s fake right?”
Yuu looked at vil, “are you, of all people, really saying that?”
“... fair enough.”
“Anyway, LET’S DO THIS!!!”
