Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine had woken up this morning feeling terrible. So, oddly enough, he had no trouble rolling over and sleeping through the entire day.

And his dreams during the course of the day were insane, even by the standards of one such as himself. And when he had roused himself again, he felt welling up within him the oddest combination of cranky, giddy, and creative.

Which was why Valentine was now posing as Star Director Ricardo Valenteen once more, steadfastly building a pillowfort in the hopes that he could get someone to SMASH IT TO BITS FOR HIM. It was cathartic. And Fandom Chicken Four was screaming to be made.

Even if the thought of smashing the fort to pieces made him a little weepy. You'd have to excuse him. He'd need a tissue. And a non-whip low-fat soy... hot chocolate.

Just Hanging Out!

[dark_slippy_thing]

You know. If you don't want to be a star. I understand. *sniff*

"Please explain again," said Valenteen's fabulous girlfriend, who hated her life especially today, "what the plot is supposed to be?"

Re: Just Hanging Out!

"I was thinking perhaps something with strawberries. And fish. And chocolate," Valenteen mused, tapping a finger to his chin thoughtfully. "And then somewhere in there, something has to explode or be hit by a bus, and then..." Then.

He couldn't think of anything else. His well of inspiration had run dry! It was the end of the world, clearly, and he hated everything and he'd have to blow his nose on his sleeve. One moment.

"Then something else or other. I'm sure."

Sokka looked around the room, and recognized what was about to happen. "I'm not going for lattes," he pouted. "Get 'em yourself."

Re: Just Hanging Out!

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine pouted right back. "After I've gone through the trouble to build the set without you? You're terribly, horribly unfair," he sniffed, indignantly. "And besides, latte is so very Fandom Chicken Three. I require Hot Chocolate. Or just chocolate, perhaps. Heated."

He was being perfectly reasonable, here. Why was everything else in the world being so dreadfully difficult?

"Oh, good," Naminé observed. "It's you as well. I should hate to think it was only Valentine that was being irrational and irritable. Particularly if you're all to stand around while I draw."

"Hey guys what's going on?" Sora grinned. He didn't seem to be effected by the days strange occurances, well at least so it seemed.

Re: Just Hanging Out!

[dark_slippy_thing]

"I am making movie magic!" Valentine was very proud of his movie magic!

...

And then he was a little desperate.

"Please tell me you know of someone who has a videocamera."

Re: Just Hanging Out!

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Sora," Naminé said, looking up with a somewhat wary smile. "Are you ... feeling all right, today?"

Casting call!

[dark_slippy_thing]

YOU. YOU WILL DO NICELY. I HATE YOU. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY GENIUS.

Re: Casting call!

Poor Jen. Poor, unsuspecting Jen, wandering into the second floor common room in search of cookies, or some kind of junk food that she didn't have to get out of the vending machines since she didn't have the money anyway . . .

Re: Casting call!

[dark_slippy_thing]

"YOU!" Valentine pointed at the unsuspecting victim instantly. "YOU'RE PERFECT."

No, he wasn't going to clarify. Brilliance needed a moment to percolate, here.

Re: Casting call!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"So," Sokka said, rubbing his hands together, "what's my role this time?"

Re: Casting call!

[dark_slippy_thing]

"You get to be," Valentine mused for a moment. He had already cast the wonderful brilliant amazing girl whose name he hadn't caught as his giant stompy monster. Which left one more role to fill! "THE FANDOM CHICKEN."

He was pleased! See how pleased he was? He was going to bounce a little and try not to squeal with joy.

Dressing Room?

[dark_slippy_thing]

Behind the couch is a dressing room. Shut up. I'm not sharing my hot chocolate. Meanie. *sobs*

Re: Dressing Room?

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Deciding she'd better humor the strange boy (she hoped she wasn't right about the PMS but from personal experience knew better than to go out of her way to upset anyone so afflicted, and wasn't taking the chance), Jen headed behind the couch and cobbled together a fairly -- well, not convincing, but passable monster costume from the cardboard-and-duct-tape pieces she found back there. Any vague resemblance to Commandocon was purely unintentional.

She felt kind of silly, but she'd been in goofier situations before. So she had experience at keeping the WTF-self-ing to a tolerable minimum.

Re: Dressing Room?

[dark_slippy_thing]

Star Director Ricardo Valenteen was thrilled! Thrilled to no end! In fact, her costume was perfect! She was going to be the best monster EVER.

Excuse him. He had to blow his nose.

"We ought to start shooting right away," he said. And then blew his nose again.

[OOC: Setting up the first ooc thread in filming. It'll be open for pinging asap!]

Re: Dressing Room?

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka found the cardboard-and-duct-tape Fandom Chicken costume and shook his head. "No, no, no, this is all wrong."

He immediately tore the costume into pieces and proceeded to rebuild it.

Re: Dressing Room?

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine stared, mouth agape, as Sokka tore apart his masterpiece.

... He was trying to reason with himself that Sokka was, in fact, the costume mistress, and this was his job, and it was entirely okay. But it was so very difficult to not take this personally.

It made him sad.

See how sad he was as he handed Sokka another roll of tape?

AND ACTION.

[dark_slippy_thing]

This will, as usual, be broken up into its component scenes as DIVINE INSPIRATION hits. Even if I feel useless and bloated and achey and I want to RIP UP THE SCRIPT. RIP IT UP.

Re: AND ACTION.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Artoo had been having a wonderful time today, taping all kinds of emotional breakdown.

Oooh, what was going on in here?

Re: AND ACTION.

[dark_slippy_thing]

"YOU!" Valentine pointed at Artoo! He remembered Artoo! "Do you still have a camera? I will gladly pay you with another bow and a second juggling lesson if you film my masterpiece!"

AND ACTION. - SCENE ONE!

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valenteen clapped his hands together and grinned. Everything was coming together so very wonderfully!

"In this scene, I need my monster to demolish the city! And then the FANDOM CHICKEN or her lost lost twin," sniffle, "SWOOPS IN TO SAVE THE DAY!"

...

"AND ACTION!"

Re: AND ACTION. - SCENE ONE!

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen stomped onto the set, waving her cardboard-box arms in the most threatening way she could manage -- and if her stomping was ungainly, it wasn't an act. This costume was cumbersome.

No wonder they'd won all the battles. Sheesh.

OOC!

[dark_slippy_thing]

... Because Fandom Chicken needs organization, or something?
