carcar 39 for the prompt thing hehe
prompt 39 is “dressing room” and you wanted carcar and i cannot sit on a snippet in silence apparently. so here’s a few sentences of something that may expand slightly…
————
Oscar stands at the main cast dressing room. Headset with the mic piece turned upwards and a clipboard in his hand.
Carlos’s posture is loose and sure in the mirror. He really was an actor in every sense of the word, capable of switching the temperature of a room up or down depending on his desire to, or in search of a particular payoff. Lando had that quality too. And if the social media chatter was anything to go by, this was one of the most-hyped productions of Twelfth Night that London had seen in a while. (Not to mention the most potentially profitable.)
Didn’t make Sainz Junior any easier to work with, though.
“Carlos. Can I have a word?”
A few “oohs” and jeers roll forth from the cast.
Carlos barely spares Oscar a glance in the mirror before he turns back to his conversation with Lando.
“20 minutes. We know, cabrón. No need to worry.”
“It’s not that.”
“Is it so important it cannot wait until after critics night?”
“I need you to comply with what I’m about to tell you because it’s critics night.”
Carlos’s face is thunderous in the mirror. To his credit, the look dissipates as quickly as it came.
Because Carlos after all, was a performer. First and foremost.
