A guy wearing a hoodie with his head covered, socks, gloves and a mask was walking to the nearby theatre absentmindly not realising that he is scaring the people near him but it's not his fault, okay?
"Son, don't look at him..... " A mother said as she snapped her kid's head away from the weird guy.
Finally Kyle heard it and hastened his steps into the theatre from the back door known only to the actors and workers.
At the director's room,
'Knock knock-'
"Hm?" He raised his eyebrow as he wasn't expecting some one so early,
"Old man, it's me?"
"Come in Kyle-"
Then suddenly the door was banged open,
"Huff hff- Ah.... "
Fun fact, Kyle is a socially anxious mushroom!
He is scared of every species.
The room smelled of old books and scripts-- exactly the scents that Kyle likes apart from blood of course.
He sat on the floor reading multiple scripts that were offered by Jonas, the director.
"Old man, I like this script?" Kyle muttered nervously as it was maybe going to be the first script which he will act in.
"Hm? Oh that script? Its written by a new writer named Aiden Lyre..... Would you like to act in that script?"
Jonas asked as he drank coffee sitting on the single sofa.
"Can I?"
"Sure you can.... You have good story sense,Kyle. 'The Black Swan' is a very good script to act in, I'm sure you will be recognized as a one time actor after this and maybe then, you can be added to a crew as an official actor?"
"Crew?" Kyler raised his brow.
"In my theater, There are 10-15 crews and one crew consists of 12 or more actors.... All these Crews have different names Considerably, the most famous crew in my theater is the Fedora Crew. Right now you are a one time actor, one that doesn't belong to my theater but you can still act in independent Scripts and The Black Swan is one of the Independent scripts. "
Kyle can see that Jonas loves explaining stuff because of how Jonas's eyes are shining.
"Thanks old man, help me prep for the Act to get the role in The Black Swan?" He asked helplessely.
"Sure, what role is it that you like?"
"Hm, The Antagonist."

A few days later.
In the theater, there is a small space in which Auditions are conducted.
The room is filled with a stage capable of keeping 12 actors and in front of the stage, there is a long table in front of 5 chairs situated at perfect distances from each other.
Behind the 5 chairs are more chairs similar to a theater's, where the contestants sit.
Kyle was fidgeting in his seat wearing a hoodie-like shirt and crumpling it out of nervousness.
He has sensitive ears so he could hear the nervous shuffle of the other contestant.
Then suddenly a voice rang out calling for his name,
"Kyle? Is there a Kyle here?"
Kyle slowly raised his hand,
"Okay kiddo, start preparing since you're the first contestant. The judges will be here soon so maybe the other contestants should start preparing too."
Minutes passed.
A young looking guy with the blackest of eyes, soft deem white skin and black curls.
He was the main investor....and also the only writer of The Black Swan.
The strangest yet coolest thing was that he was only 22 years old,and made the most money out of everyone here.
"Hey, I'm Aiden Lyre and you already know who or what I am so let's just stay quiet."
Aiden felt a strange smell around this room but due to the number of people in this room, he couldn't understand whose scent it was so he just scrunched his nose and went to the 5th seat behind the table.
The Atmosphere was worrying.
Kyle swallowed hard. His heart pounded, but… he had to do this.
