"dennis, before you say anything, i'd like to address what i suspect is your primary grievance with my sectionals proposal." julian devereux isn't the type to beat around the bush, and could only assume that his friend wasn't very happy with him right now. mostly because julian wouldn't be either, if he were standing in his shoes. "namely, your inclusion in only the opening number. in my defense, i was forced to edit my original proposal under entirely unreasonable conditions. only four songs, an absurd amount of people wanting to be featured, and a co-captain who has apparently convinced them that their voice matters and that they're somehow entitled to a center spot on stage. frankly, i blame stella for raising such ridiculous expectations and kelmeckis for encouraging this irrational descent into show choir democracy." julian sighs dramatically, folding his arms across his chest. "now had i been granted complete creative authority, as i've repeatedly and sensibly suggested, of course you would have been featured considerably more. even if opening the set is hardly a punishment, i can understand that you're disappointed. however, in all fairness, direct about seventy percent of your frustration toward kelmeckis, twenty-five percent toward stella, and perhaps… five percent toward me. no, make that only three."
