Rita's First Major RP

"RITA! YOU'VE GOTTEN INTO A NEW ROLEPLAY(RP)!" Talis, their director's yell came from down the corridor. Rita, one of Talis's OCs, shot upright, eyes frightened. "Isn't it enough to be a side character in that Dragon RP?" She asked. "Shlapenka." Aria, another OC, supported from the side. "WELL, ARIA AND SUMMER ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH WORK!" Everyone in the room cringed at Talis's yelling. She really underestimates her own volume. With a long sigh, Rita reluctantly stood up. "Good luck!" Summer, another OC as well, called from where she lay on the couch upside-down. Rita returned a half-smile and rushed off from the living room, where they were in.

She came to the recording room, where Talis was waiting. The room had all sorts of filming equipment. She went into the center of the room and began to talk as the script rolled by on the other side of the cameras.

When the filming was complete, Rita shot back to the living room and promptly collapsed. She had filmed multiple scenes at once because the first-time RP was so active. "Now I see why you two always need coffee to keep awake..." She mumbled to Summer and Aria. She then promptly fell asleep. With a sigh, Aria draped a towel over her for a blanket. This kind of thing often happened.

Character Confusion Escalated

"How many more times are you going to confuse us?" Rita asked Talis, an extremely annoyed expression on her face. Aria stood a bit to the side, a fierce glare in her eyes.
"Sorry!" Talis yelped. "I'll try to not do that again!"
"Humph!" Rita flung one of the vases around the room made for smashing into the wall. Felice, a pretty new member of the group and an Empath, shuddered fiercely. Summer grabbed her arm and held her back. Otherwise, Felice might start smashing whatever she could see. Rita then stormed off. Aria went after her.
Talis flinched slightly. "That's my fault as well, huh?"
"I see what you mean about shaping us in a RP like who and what you want to become." Summer came up to her and hugged her. Talis curled in in Summer's arms, glad that Summer's persona was portrayed taller than her. Talis usually shapes her RP characters partly after herself and partly after what she wants to be. For example, Aria in an RP was very good at comforting others. In another, Rita's a Pacifist. Talis wanted to be both but, in her opinion, she was neither.
"You're good. I don't blame you, and Rita's just frustrated. She doesn't hate you." Summer mumbled.
"Th-thanks." Talis cried surprisingly easily. She slowly pulled back and left to write the next script.

Dude, you’re sick!

“Talis, why are you here? You’re down with a fever!” Summer’s worried exclamation made everyone rush over at once. Talis leaned against the corridor, visibly dizzy, and Summer was struggling to support her.
“No... Social responsibility...” Talis rasped.
“That doesn’t matter! Please, you have to rest!” Summer begged.
“No, I... RP... waiting for me...”
The other OCs exchanged worried looks. Talis’s mindset came from seeing many RPs discontinued after one person never posted, and she always reasoned that checking on RPs was due to social responsibility. There wasn’t much they could do. One trait Talis passed on to all the OCs was her inability to persuade others.
Eventually, Summer opted to let Talis through. What could they do? Nothing. How did they get such an irresponsible Director? No idea either.
