Zincz felt a vein bulged in his head from Leon's acting. Its not that Leon is doing a bad job nor does Zincz feel offended by his words as it was, after all, just an act.

But his manner of speaking... reminds him greatly of a very annoying man he met months ago. Oh, how Zincz would relish the chance to get right up to his face and just smack the living daylights out of his arrogant ass. He is probably the very few people he knows that just instantly ticks him off, that even a person acting like him is enough to make his blood boil.

However! He cannot allow such petty grudges affect his acting!

BUT IT DOES ANYWAY!

"I... despite to serve a man as foolish and inferior as yourself. But... I will... allow myself to grovel...", Zincz bit his lip till it bled having to say these words. It truly hurt his pride, and will probably make his grudge on Gillian grow even more.

He was so mad in fact that his semblance slightly activated, showing a nearlyi-transparent, ghostly image of a wolf's head with an incredibly large maw envelop around ZIncz's own head. The sight was very haunting for the children, with many shouting that they saw an apparition of a monster over Zincz. This, hilariously, made every child yell out for him to "Calm down!" as they thought that he was being plagued by an evil demon.

The children's calls of concern made Zincz's heart feel very warm and uplifted, not knowing that his semblance activated but that isn't really important. Thanks to them he was able to keep himself still as Leon finishes his arrogant speech and finally gets to the important part.

He is given his first task. His first labour. And it was to kill the great Nemion Lion of Nemios.

With that the Director calls for the lights to go out and allow the scene once again to change. Now he brings Zincz back in the backstage to allow the narrator and the props crew to do their small puppet show, if you can add robots as props, to set up the next scene.

"Alright, with DJ girl still out for the count-", turning to the slightly open door of a small lounge-like room where Hayate is nursing Artoria. Akiba came out when he heard the Director call everyone out, expecting that he's not excluded from the group as Hayate's already doing more than enough help for Artoria. Though it was nice to be able to converse wih an old childhood friend again, at least. If you can call using text in a scroll as conversing.

"Alright, the next scene's gonna need us two more actors AND two people to man the Lion.", stated the Director with a sip of his cup of tea which he made just awhile ago. When Akiba heard the last order he raised his arm up as a question popped in his head.

The Director notices it and allows Akiba to ask his question, but since he can't speak he instead went up to him and gave his scroll to him with said answer being written on it.

""What's the Lion?", you ask? Obviously the Nemion Lion.", this made Akiba tilt his head to the left, still confused.

"You see kid-", the Director says in a more casual manner. "Just like Atlas' advances in military technology with those robot armies that their all so proud of, we in the performing arts business have also making advances in the fields of stage play."

He walks up to the curtain and pushes a bit of it back to show everyone robots moving around the stage, doing hammy poses like actual actors.

"No one is still ready for a fully "mechanical" production, but that doesn't mean we can't try to use these advances in technology to our advantage.", the Director then gestures everyone to follow him, and he brings them all to the other side of the backstage to show them a large object covered by a just as large sheet.

"And as such I would like to proudly introduce to you all-", just like the chirpy tone he used to say this line, he pulls down the sheets with all of his might to show everyone a large lion designed to look as real to an actual lion as possible.

"This is our 'Nemion Lion'! It is a two-man operated mechanical lion with just as wide range of movement and facial expression as the real ones. This baby took us years to design and finally build, and now I'm entrusting this to two of you for the play.", proudly stated the Director before lowering his tone when she spoke of about the two people needed to pilot the behemoth.

"...And I have no choice but to give it to the two of you, Grape-boy and Tomato-kid.", he then ended in a defeated tone. He honestly doesn't know what to do with the two, but he's just gonna hope that they do well with the thing. Its way too precious as it was a long and arduous process that his crew had worked on for many years.

"AND DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO BRAKE IT YOU TWO, AS WELL AS YOU WOLF BOY!!!", he followed with a loudly warned the three.

"Alright, back to serious talk. The next scene will be following you, Wolf boy, meeting a farmer. You-", the Director points to Tanner. "Will be that farmer. You come up to him because you noticed him heading towards the lion, and you'll guess that he's going for the Lion like many others before him. You'll also tell him that he lost his son to it, and he wishes to take revenge on the beast. You then tell Heracles that he needs to kill it in 6 days or else you'll sacrifice a lamb to mourn of Heracle's death. If he does the job however, you'll sacrifice a lamb to his parent god in honor. You two will do ONE task, and that's to pilot the thing to attack Heracles. When I give the cue, you'll then press a specific button hidden behind a cover. That'll make the Lion perform a death roar and perform some movements that'll add to the realism. That's it.", and with that, the Director asks the aformentioned actors if they caught it before telling them to get on over and get ready for their acts.

(I'll allow you guys to use ZIncz during this time. He won't actually need to talk at all actually, just guide him like a silent protagonist in a video game. So the people in the running are Sebi and Amil. Good luck you two!)
