Chapter Text
It had been as peaceful as NRC could get. Which was not a lot, but still a something.
So of course, something had to ruin it.
"And so, I have came to the conclusion that it would be the best if the prefect directed our ending show!" As Crowley exclaimed with joy, all of the House Wardens' face slowly turned to him.
"I beg your pardon?" Azul asked with strained smile, which was shared by others.
"Have you seen just what kind of videos they make?" Vil asked, reminding himself that no, he cannot break this table-
"I will do it!" Then Yuu exclaimed with glee, their eyes glinting in cruel joy.
Fuck.
It was clear that the crow did not watch most of Yuu's video. The problem was that it was clear that none of them would be able to stop them.
"Idia-senpai, I'll need to borrow Scarlet for this!" At that, the tablet jolted-how was that even possible?-as the nervous voice of Idia came out from it.
"S-Scarlet?! What do you need him for?" At the innocent-fear filled-question, Yuu grinned.
"Oh, nothing much... Just so that we could talk about casting roles..."
"You have already decided on what act to do, spudling?"
"Yes! Now, if you'll excuse me-"
Before anyone could stop them, Yuu had already bolted out from the meeting.
...
Riddle was calm, he was calm... He was not going to punch his own Headmaster in the face, that was against the rules...
Kalim slowly scooted away from Riddle as the redhead's face was becoming the same color as his hair.
He was not going to punch the crow, he was not-
"Ah, how benevolent of me! I knew they would be overjoyed-"
"ROSEHEARTS, NO-!"
...
After an hour, someone ended up in the infirmary. No, he would not elaborate, it was simply an accident! As if he would let his student bash his face in, no-
Meanwhile, Yuu was having the time of their life.
"So, we put Trey-Senpai here..." As they said with glee, Scarlet just sighed. It was not as if he didn't want to see this musical, he was just... Simply worried about outcome.
But let's be honest, when did Yuu ever cared for that? He'll just blame it all on them. Not like anyone could actually harm them with all the powerful people of their school on their side...
"Hmm?" As his eyes drifted to the note Yuu was holding, he found something odd.
"You're going to put Azul-senpai there? It'll take a lot of convincing for him to perform in his mer form."
"I'll just split the profit."
"...Alright..." Scarlet did not know if Azul Ashengrotto would be happy with that. But he also knew that regardless of Azul's reaction, Yuu-with how hyped they were right now-wouldn't back down.
"The problem is, who to put in as Antinous." Yuu frowned, tapping the note with their pencil. "The only one left is Sebek, so maybe we should just..."
"Absolutely not." Scarlet interjected with strained smile. "Do you want to deal with the angered Diasomnia seniors? Because I don't."
At his words, Yuu sighed.
"Then who? We don't have anyone left."
"...You know what? I'll just do it."
"Wait, really? But wouldn't your family be shocked at your role?" Ace, who has been keeping quiet because he did NOT want to get involved, suddenly spoke up.
One reason was that Scarlet didn't really perform in any of Yuu's song-well, except for The Blessed Messiah and Tower of Ai. And the second one was that when Yuu gave each of them random numbers from the musical to listen in advance, he got <Hold them Down>. He threw up after listening to it, thank you for asking.
"Ehh... I don't exactly have family to be shocked, so I'll be fine." As Scarlet shrugged, winking jokingly, Ace covered his face with his hands.
"Don't just drop that bomb on me like that?? Great Sevens, I hate you two so much."
"We love you too, Ace~" As Yuu patted Ace's head with sing-song voice, Scarlet glanced at their casting list.
This was definitely going to cause chaos.
But he did want to see this musical again.
...
His desire outweighed the mental health of the audience! A Night Raven College Student, through and through, he was.
The Roles
Narrator - Sebek Zigvolt
Not gonna deal with angry Hornton, Silver and Lilia. -Yuu.
::Sebek is half fae, so I thought he would live longer than Silver and shorter than Malleus. So I thought that Sebek, in the future, would have the role of someone who holds story. Someone who remembers Silver, tells his legacy to people... And someone who will spread stories about Malleus so his lord wouldn't be lonely when Sebek is gone. Not to mention that his heritage would also have him look at things more unbiased when he becomes more mature.(::=Author)
Troy Saga
Odysseus - Rook Hunt
Odysseus is romantic, in some way. Both before and after he became monster, he holds ideal dear to him. Before, to greet the world with open arms-the ideal by Polites. After, to become a monster-the ideal given by Poseidon. He believes in both of them deeply, which causes him some consequences. Yes, I still remember him almost drinking POISON. Consider this a payback for my trauma. -Yuu.
Zeus - Hornton Malleus Draconia
Who else would even fit? All the thunders, the role of the king... And the fact that faes are often seen with different mindset with humans, which causes both fear and discomfort. No hard feelings except for that time you fucking overblotted -Yuu.
Polites - Kalim Al-Asim
Polites is kind. Optimistic, naive. It served Odysseus greatly, yet it also brought harm upon himself. Kalim's naive, optimistic nature(Although I'm starting to suspect that he is just ignoring his problems) did brought some harm upon himself, didn't it? -Yuu.
Eurylochus - Ace Trappola
You performed at VDC, you can perform now. -Yuu.
::Ace is someone who goes against authority when he thinks the situation is weird(And affecting him). Him going against Riddle? Did end up in drastic measure, but it was needed. Eurylochus' actions ended up in the drastic consequences, but most of his actions were logical and realistic if you see it closely. I thought Ace would be great person for this portrayal.
Athena - Lilia
Strict before, goofy now. -Yuu.
::Athena is someone who, by interacting mortals, begun to understand and defend them more. Lilia had also came to understand and look at humans more kindly after his encounter with both Dawn Knight and Silver.
Polyphemus Saga
Polyphemus - voiced by Azul
LOL. -Yuu
Lotus Eaters(And Winions, by extend) - voiced by Ortho
He can modify his voices! -Yuu.
Ocean Saga
Aelous - Epel Felmir
Epel looks delicate, but he is strong beneath it. He has fire in it, and can be cruel(Give me back my juice, Epel) just like Aelous -Yuu.
Poseidon - Azul Ashengrotto
It would be so cool and intimidating if Azul sang in his mer form with some CGIs -Yuu.
::Azul is someone who made students pay for their naivety(yes, book 3). He was fixed on his way of thinking so much that later it harmed him, so yes. He is playing Poseidon.
Circe Saga
Circe - Jamil Viper
Elegant, Can sing, so pretty it's scary -Yuu.
::Jamil is someone who hides his true nature so he would have others underesitmate him. He is someone who will not hesitate to harm others for his own safety as well(Like when he complained that if Kalim didn't get involved the only casualty would have been Neige LeBlanche in book 5)
Hermes - Ruggie Bucchi
He knows what he did. Give me back my thaumarks. -Yuu
::Setting the fact aside that Hermes is god of thieves, he is also someone who made the name for himself. When Hermes stole cows of Apollo, he sacrificed one of them to himself, making him a god and his own priest. Ruggie is also someone who made a name for himself(considering the fact that he is usually considered to be the closest thing Savanaclaw have as the Vice House Warden).
Underworld Saga
Anticlea - Yuu
No one was gonna fit tbh. -Yuu
Tiresias - Idia Shroud
If he doesn't see the audience, it should help with his anxiety, right? -Yuu
::Tiresias is someone who had his life affected deeply by the gods. His gender turned into the opposite one twice(By killing fuckass snake??) and he was both blinded and given the power of prophecy as Zeus and Hera involved him in their fight. Idia, whose life was deeply(and still will be) affected by his ancestor, would fit the role.
Thunder Saga
Sirens - The Leech twins
:3 ;3 -Yuu.
ㄴWhat does this mean -Ace.
ㄴㄴWouldn't you like to know weather boy -Yuu.
ㄴㄴㄴ??? -Ace.
Scylla - Silver(with CGI)
Ehh it was this or Antinous I have no regrets -Yuu.
::Scylla is someone who was cursed to be a monster for falling in love. I thought Silver, after the events of book 7, would still have this lingering hatred towards Dawn Knight and himself because the closest person to him, Lilia, was hurt by war. I thought that sometimes he would look into the mirror and see Dawn Knight for just a second.
Wisdom Saga
Penelope - Trey Clover
Mom of Heartslabyul -Yuu.
::Trey is someone who was forced upon situations he didn't want, just like Penelope. Trey didn't want to become a vice or mediator between Riddle and the dorm. Penelope didn't want the suitors in her palace. Both of them endured, and honestly I just rlly like RookTrey
Telemachus - Deuce
That is literally him -Yuu.
Antinous - Scarlet Climber
Thank you for your sacrifice my man -Yuu.
ㄴYou owe me a coffee -Scarlet.
::I didn't want to put any of the NRC boys to the role of Antinous, so off my oc he goes. You're doing amazing sweetie! Just ignore students' insults and outbursts after the performance!
Calypso -Riddle Rosehearts
Ehh... I'm gonna use my right to remain silence -Yuu.
::Riddle is someone who, after being isolated for years, started to believe and cling to his beliefs. Calypso clung to the 'love' after being isolated in the island for years. Both of them held the power, and in attempt to cling to their beliefs, used it to harm the others.
Apollo - Ortho
Bright, shiny, cool. -Yuu.
::Apollo wasn't always the god of sun. He slowly became one after years passed, when the belief shifted in ancient Greece. Like how O.R.T.H.O. became real brother of Idia after book 6.
Hephestus - Jack Howl
He is someone who would care about the cohort. Will not back down easily, but will also accept it once he understood. -Yuu.
Aphrodite - Leona
Pretty Unca lol -Yuu.
::Aphrodite wasn't just a pretty goddess. She, as she was often considered the same with Preya, was also a goddess of war. Her wrath was terrifying, and love hurts other as much as it envelopes one. And this is kind of my rebellion against those SOME LeoVil shippers who reduce them into "Beauty and the Beast". Bro your Beauty literally breaks a table with his bare hands and your Beast calls his dorm adorable bunch.
Ares - Vil Schoeinheit
He is strong enough to do it, and I need someone to land on a heavy effect. -Yuu.
::Ares was not just a brute god. He loved Aphrodite and his children. He was the first male god who took a revenge for his daughter after she was sexually assaulted. Him and Aphrodite literally has a god whose domain is reciporated love. Ares is brutal, but he has tenderness for those who is dear to him, and I thought that fit Vil.
Hera - Cater
Swag, vibe, perfect. -Yuu.
::Hera is a goddess of family. I thought that the reason Hera let Odysseus go was because while it may seem like she is thinking of Zeus' infidelity, it would mean that Odysseus honored the vow he made upon her. Cater is good at hiding himself but would still appreciate it if someone gave something that fills his needs, so... yeah. Also vibes.
