conversations.value: The illustrious Golden Theater in airship port city Teren is putting on a new show by noted playwright Jessica Barnsworth. The director is determined to see the show run smoothly, but with airship pirates terrorizing the skies above the theater, a possible haunting, and actors harboring resentments, this show may never get to its curtain call...
  Players will be actors in the Golden Theater's performing company, and there is a spot open for the play's director. This is a sort-of steampunk world, with the now-traditional airships, et al.

conversations.value: Who will be who? Choose carefully, now. A lot's riding on this show.
conversations.prefix: Choose roles:

conversations.value: Fairly young but eccentric, Jessica is the darling of the thespian community. Other theaters have done her previous three shows to wild praise. Miss Martinus hired her to write the Golden a play, as a gamble that it would bring in more patrons. The playwright is very protective of her work, and will often drop by to see how rehearsals are going.

conversations.value: Since acting doesn't pay much, even at a nice job like the Golden, most of the troupe have supplementary jobs. You work at a local bookstore part-time. It's good work, and plus you get a discount. You get along well with the owner, a kind young man who recently lost his wife.

conversations.value: Many have cruised the skylanes, and you are one of them. You found the job too stressful, however, never sure when the next trip was going to be. Now you're an actor, what you always wanted to be since your parents toom you to shows when you were little.

conversations.value: This may be one of your first shows, but you are determined to do well.
conversations.prefix: Inexperienced:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've had the lead once or twice before, and now you think that you deserve it every time. This time you're only a supporting character, which you resent.
conversations.prefix: Not a team player:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are an asset to the Golden Theater's acting troop--the critics marvel at your ability to get inside the head of whatever character you play and become them.
conversations.prefix: Brilliant actor:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The frazzled owner of the Golden Theater, who just inherited it from her uncle a year ago. She knows practically nothing of show business, but is a shrewd businesswoman and is trying to learn. The performing company respects her and is mostly patient as she tries to learn the way of the theater.
conversations.prefix: Alfreda Martinus:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are the director of the show--a thankless job, as you are dogged by tempermental actors, a less-fhan-perfect script, and a new owner of YOUR theater that doesn't seem to know what the hell she's doing.

conversations.value: While not as large as the capitol or as beautiful architecturally as Astonia, Teren does have the largest port in the country. Crews of all nationalities can be found here, loading and unloading their precious cargo.
conversations.prefix: Airship Port:

conversations.value: Equipped with hidden trapdoors for mysterious entrances and exits, these well-trodden boards will be where most of the rehearsals take place. The stage is framed by heavy red velvet curtains and lit from above by the latest gas lamps.
conversations.prefix: Stage of the Golden Theater:

conversations.value: A favorite bar of the local thespians. The spirits aren't great, but at least they're affordable on an actor's budget.
conversations.prefix: Three Crowns:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Smelling strongly of grease paint, actors come here to complain before and after rehearsal and get their costumes on and makeup done during the show. Contains many closets full of costumes from previous shows.
conversations.prefix: Green Room of the Golden Theater:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Despite its lovely name, Lilac Court is a seedy street of apartments. Most of the Golden Theater's actors live here.
conversations.prefix: Lilac Court:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The wealthy owner of an airship line, but a pirate through and through. He has attempted to buy the theater numerous times so that he can build an office/mansion closer to the port, but Alfreda turns him down each time--as did her uncle before her. Declan is used to having his own way, however, and may go to extreme means to bring the Golden Theater down.

conversations.value: Be it somebody forgetting their lines, one of the dancers having (another) breakdown, or paint being spilled on the stage, you can handle it all.
conversations.prefix: Patient:

conversations.value: You are notorious for forgetting your lines, which is why you are usually relegated to a minor, usually non-speaking role.

conversations.prefix: A haunting:

conversations.value: More than anything, you want to be a  famous actor. You started when you were very young, and you hope that you're well on your way to becoming known throughout the entire city. Maybe even the country.

conversations.value: You've got things to do and rent to pay. While everyone else is goofing off, you're memorizing your lines or helping out the director.
conversations.prefix: Mature:

conversations.value: Ms Martinus says the regulars are guaranteed spots, but that doesn't mean you'll get the lead! And if you're new, you're going to have to fight for a place amongst those who have been here longer.
conversations.prefix: Audition!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Show the director and owner what you've got. The cousins can be any gender, so if you're good enough you might get the lead.

conversations.value: Since acting doesn't pay much, even at a nice job like the Golden, most of the troupe have supplementary jobs. You work at a Tailor shop. While you aren't great with creating things from scratch, you have basic skills, can alter garments, and have a good eye for value and craftsmanship, and even some designers. The discount on garments and free alterations helps too. You also help get the show a costume discount, and know a few of the other "great" performers in town.
