I'm still having a hard time believing that Thespian Phong actually thinks Wu is a male actor in costume, but never mind that. Come talk to me when youve got it and well get you into final costume and onto the stage. That said, maybe we should make sure what actually constitutes ruining the scene before we get up there. We'll happily pay you the going rate for a lead, especially since this is short notice.Īh yes, the guild. I'm sure your actor's guild told you that we have standard rates.

Our writer wasn't that happy, but we accepted the revisions and here we are.

Well, a southern noble funded the location and travel for us, but wanted to make a few tweaks.

The script's recently been revised, so even if you're familiar with the old version, read it again for the changes before you head on stage. I don't think this dialog choice makes any difference whatsoever, but it makes more sense not to show off Incisive Chorus' script unless we have to. I don't think we really want to show the original script to Phong since it's the one we're supposed to read from, so we'll lie instead. Plays in Imperial China generally featured both male and female actors in lead and support roles, but apparently that isn't how theatre works in the Jade Empire.ĭid they give you a copy of the script when they sent you over here? You? You're the replacement? By the starry river, that is the best makeup job I've ever seen! We'll barely have to touch you up to play Lady Fourteen Flowers!Īs Incisive Chorus mentioned last time, practically all the roles in these plays are performed by male actors and a woman playing a female character (without first dressing up as a man) is unheard of. We can just about see First-Degree Thespian Phong next to the pagoda to our left, so we'll go introduce ourselves. The first thing we're doing today is act in that play Incisive Chorus roped us into, so that should be exciting. You only see these backgrounds when you quit the game and return to the menu, you just get the default Two Rivers background when you boot up Jade Empire. Oh, and before I forget again, here's the Imperial City version of the main menu screen, complete with stretched logos as per usual. The fortress lies at the far end of the Necropolis, but we're not going there yet because we've got sidequests to complete. Last time, Sagacious Zu seemingly decided he wanted no part of our plan to infiltrate the Lotus Assassins' fortress, so he sneaked off while we were busy chatting up Silk Fox.
