Unless a miracle happens, I'll almost certainly need to wait till next year's Fanime to perform it.  I'm looking for all of Yuna's guardians except for Kimahri.

This is going to need lots of rehearsing as a group, but if worst comes to worst, we can memorize our scripts on our own, meet up once to record the whole thing, and then practice REALLY hard at the con before the Masquerade.  Also, I need someone who can record/burn CDs since my recording program is on the fritz.

For the actual skit, it's essentially FFX set to RENT's music.  Plot in a nutshell:  Yuna and Tidus sort of admit their feelings (using about a minute of "I Should Tell You"), and then everyone gets together and parties before their huge battle against Sin ("La Vie Boheme B").

It's about 2:30 minutes long and everyone needs singing experience (duh), but a LARGE part of this skit involves dancing like in "La Vie Boheme B"--if you can't/won't dance for whatever reason, this skit is not for you.  I'll cut Lulu and Auron some slack, but everyone else should be able to dance for most of it.


90% completed draft:
-
[Everyone sits in a circle, as in the beginning/end of FFX.  Tidus puts a hand on Yuna's shoulder.  After he lets go, Rikku comes over.]

Rikku:  What do we do?  We don't have a plan to save Yunie yet!

Tidus:  I don't know, but we'll come up with something.  I promise!

Yuna:  Tidus?  Can I... talk to you for a moment?

Tidus:  Huh?  Sure, go ahead!

Yuna:  Um...  (sings)  I should tell you, I'm having my doubts about the Final Aeon.

Tidus:  (sings) I've been trying to find out a different way to bring the Calm.

Yuna:  I should tell you--

Tidus:  I should tell you--

Both:  I should tell...
          Well, here we go.
          Now we...

Yuna:  Oh, no.
Tidus:  I know, this something is... here goes.

Both:  Who knows where?  Who goes there?
          Looking for answers to find the way
          Trying to live through another day
          Clinging to hope for another choice
          Now at the ending, we find our voice
          So here we go...  Now we...

Tidus:  Oh, no.
Yuna:  I know.
Tidus:  Oh, no.

Both:  Who knows where?  Who goes there?

[As they finish, La Vie Boheme B's intro starts and the rest of the group brings a low table onstage (if possible--if not, Yuna just goes to the center.)]

ALL:  To dance!
Yuna:  No way to make a living,
          Pyreflies and no defenses,
          Years spent on the pilgrimage,
          Shortened lives and summoning!

ALL:  Guards!
Lulu:  (gets on as Yuna gets off)  Adventure, tedium, no family, waiting in temples,
          Magic, risk of failure, egos,
          Battles, Zanarkand, unease!

All:  Blitzers!
Tidus:  ________, _________,
          Admiration, lots of pressure,
          Power, status, money, ________, and heavy competition!

ALL:  Anarchy!

Auron and Rikku:  Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions,
          Forcing changes, risk and danger,
          Making noise and making pleas!

ALL:  To airships, blitzers, thieves, and unsent too!

Wakka:  To me!
Rikku:  To me!
Auron:  To me!

ALL:  (pointing on each "you")  To you and you and you, you, and you!
           To people living with, living with, living with--
           Not getting killed by Sin!
           Let she who wants to bring the Calm be the first to condemn...
           La Vie Boheme!
           La Vie Boheme!

Tidus or Auron: Anyone out of the mainstream
           Is anyone IN the mainstream?
           Anyone alive or with nothing to hide
           Tear down the wall!  Aren't we all?
           The Final Aeon won't bring us peace--just destruction!

ALL:  (Cheers)  La Vie Boheme...

[A few seconds of dancing on the table as the music slows down.  Then, everyone faces the audience.]

ALL: Viva... La Vie... Boheme!  (punch the air)

Please feel free to post if you want to be in this.  If you have any suggestions for Tidus' lyrics, I'm good with that, too.

The problem now is finding people who aren't across the country to be in it.  :'(
