Special: A game of Hearts

How this works:
Old tab-recycled, this tab is applicable for today but has already been taken
Old tab*- action remains needed
New tab-new tab, this issue/compliant is new today (or has been unnoticed until now)
New tab*-action needed, opinion stated, etc.
[Switzerland]...[Anything in these]-a group of tabs is labeled by those brackets. Watch for them.

MOST REASONABLE TABS WINS! ('Nathan was wearing a Black blazer today' would not be a reasonable tab unless heavily modified and with purpose)
==My Hand==
Tab: Katie reasonably happy today. Even skipping, smiling, might even mean it a little. Yessss!
Old Tab*: Kate unsure of Katie.
New tab: [Switzerland] Katie's possibly-considered overly-affectionate actions towards Kate are causing discomfort. Mirror those actions personally (but on a slightly lesser degree) in order to secure the stability of their happily-budding friendship. Kate will consider Katie slightly ''infatuated'' (but mending) and Katie can act how she wants without worrying about offending Kate with what is normal friendship behavior for her.
New tab: Nathan Kozak getting used to me!!!!! Held hand without complaint, genuine smile, laughed at my jokes. *Boner (address?)
New tab: Valerie is nervous as fuck. Flitty eyes and clippy movements, overly apologetic, fidgeting constantly.
New tab: Aww, Jane! Way to comfort Valerie. I saw it and I appreciated it. Way to look after your own, honey.
New tab: Hannah Engstrom worried about possibly needing to defend her father. She hasn't yet (won't, more like than not unless some shit really goes down) but is attuned to it. Worried about how she is compared in comparison to Mr. E. Is it bad to be compared to him? Good?
Old tab*: Schultz is really being very nice about trying to give Hannah her own voice, and the cast is mostly doing their best to follow the example of her leadership.
Old tab*: [Switzerland] Reinforce this. Both could use the help.
Old tab*: Schultz is ready to blow a gasket, and why shouldn't she, with this much to do? Do whatever possible to lower her stress level, help however possible.
New tab: Hannah is a younger version of "Schultz" in some ways. Stress starting to affect her; snappy, less eager to laugh or please, withdrawn, distracted.
Old tab*: Jacob feels very anonymous as a Stage Manager. Although he's happy, he appreciates when people talk to him. Visit him more often.
New tab*: Morgan is really apprehensive about this new group of people. Help her through it (delicately) when needed until she gets used to this whirlwind of awesome.
New tab*: Regarding previous: pointed by KT--especially without April. Is Morgan trying to fit in by being an "air-head"? Mm. Needs further study.
Old-ish tab*: [Switzerland] Comfort new-comers to the new environment.
New tab: Mm. Kellie's been upset and now she's gone. ''Sick''? Bullshit. Nothing can be done for Kellie; it isn't a Payton she needs. Try best to make her smile and laugh unless (unlikely) she comes to you.
Old tab*: Conner's responsibility is drooping his shoulders and keeping his eyes on the ground. Conner tries to smile (especially around Dominic in order to make Dominic think that he and Schultz are ''happy'' with him, a detail I appreciate even his subconscious recognizing) but it never reaches those eyes. Conner's ''Roy'' is much better when especially affected by being Assistant Director.
New tab: Previous especially bad today. If all Schultz wants sometimes (according to JTF) is appreciation, Conner needs to be told I appreciate the knowledge I have garnered his actions (and that I've noticed that effort more than he thinks or gives himself credit for). Note: Done.
Old tab*: Help Dominic in any way. This show will be a blow for him if he doesn't have the support he needs and deserves as ''head of the show'' in a way.
New tab: 10-4, Previous. *Dominic's Beard: help (?), Run lines with Dominic (?), make Dominic laugh (!!!) and smile. We love him, he's our precious baby...and he's growing up... :(
New tab*: Keep an eye on Schultz. She'd never let you help her, Payton, but you need to keep an eye anyway. This is her last show and with your help especially it could be fucking awesome.
New tab: Whoa, Chali. You're really good at acting.... off-stage and on.
New tab: It's okay, Nathan. Sheesh.
New tab*: You're glancing nervously, Kate. Why nervou--Oh, just kidding. It's late, isn't it?
Old tab: Lee having emotional difficulties.
New tab: Lee and Jenny terrible for each other but playing stupidly with love like we all (stupidly, did I mention stupidly?) do in High school. They are not going to last. Currently, Lee is trying to remain with the butterflies while fighting to stay with Jenny. Jenny is fighting off his affections while really wanting them to come forward like in the crappy ABC family romantic comedies.
New tab: [Needed] *Help when you can in the case of Lee and Jenny. I think we'll get more trouble from Jenny (who hits) than Lee (who gets the bruises), but I think that both are too stuck in their roles for a mature relationship. Jenny needs to address her self-confidence issues more severely before striking in order to make herself feel better about who she is right now, and Lee needs to fight back more when he's hit.
New tab: Oh, Finley. You hurt and I know it, I can feel it right here in the fucking middle of rehearsal, and I can't do anything. This time it isn't a Payton you need....
Old tab:*[Needed] Molly on verge of breakdown. Leave her alone and let her do her thing.
New tab: Brad!!! You're a great Halo player! Glad Finley held his own, though.
New tab: Dani, keep an eye on what you laugh at. Schultz isn't always amused by your well-meant tomfoolery.
New tab: Taylor of the backstage, I understand your job is difficult, but don't take it out on us unless we really deserve it. Having Schultz address us regarding the backstage crew to get your boyfriend's attention back is really immature.
New tab: Schultz didn't see through that? Mm. Maybe there's a little more to that, but the above supplied more than a needed motivation. I guess she can't guess *everything*...
New tab: Sam!! So adorable! Good-hearted but mis-guided with A LOT of self-esteem issues WAY worse than the average girl.
New tab*: Watch out for that one. She might need a Payton soon.
New tab*: What's this? Katie and my mom are friends? Fuck yes, people. Confetti to all involved.
New tab*: Watch for Emily, she feels left out and even ignored. That makes her even more nervous than she already is.
New tab*: Huh. Payton lied to Schultz about why you were late to that entrance.... Is that because you don't want Schultz to know?
New tab*: Wow. Ah, that is.... [Needed]: Payton does not think Schultz knows of (or would care about) her ''ability to play Hearts''.
New tab*: Mm. What is it with Payton wanting to touch people today? Why does her heart flummox when they smile when she touches them--she expects revulsion(?).
New tab*: Especially Katie. Why is Payton so happy when she touches Katie? It isn't a Sexual thing or even a romantic pursuit thing, obviously. That's creepy for the others, and probably her, to boot. Find a way to address and dim that severely.
Old tab*: Watch Johnny. Poor boy's ready to explode from a lack of appreciation, being stepped on A LOT more than I think he cares to admit, and so on.
