Second Floor Common Room [Evening]

Ramona had flung herself onto a couch in the common room, in the interest of actually being social. Now, granted, while she had the television tuned to reruns of Rescued by the Alarm -- because who didn't love reliving the early nineties? Such large phones! -- she did have her nose buried in a book as she kept half an ear on the TV.

Look, the last Barry Plodder movie was coming out in a matter of like, a week, and while she wasn't a super-fan or anything, she had to try and remember exactly what happened when those kids weren't just walking around in the woods all the time. That was all they seemed to do for like, half that book. So she was refreshing herself on the events that took place in the latter half of the book, because she didn't want to be caught off-guard again like she had when she saw the last movie and that cute goblin thing had bit it.

[totally open, omg. I am totally watching SBtB right now, too.]

"Oh, just the Dingo Channel writers are jerks and plagiarists. Though we did teach them a pretty good lesson. We did something to them even Gibby wouldn't do," Freddie said. "Thoooough I am realizing that that sentence makes no sense unless you know about our webshow."

Nope, no sense at all. Nor was she familiar with the Dingo Channel. Though if she was, she might find one of its productions eerily similar to her own life.

"Oh, you do a webshow? That's awesome! What's it called?"

"iCarly," Freddie said, all proud to talk about it. "I'm just the technical producer, meaning I do all the behind the scenes stuff. It's my two friends, Carly and Sam, just goofing around and doing cool and fun stuff while sharing things they find on the internet. It's pretty popular, at least where we're from."

"That's so cool," Miley gushed, leaning forward. "Do you film it here? Are you making episodes now? What kind of stuff do you do?"

The only experience she had with web shows was receiving several dozen requests from London Tipton to write the theme song to her show, Yay Me.

"We do, every week," Freddie said. "Sam goes to school here to, and Carly films her parts simultaneously out in Seattle. It takes a bit of work, but we're keeping up our viewership. "And honestly, it's probably better for me to show you than to explain it. It's way better seen than explained."

"Do you have video clips?" Miley asked, leaning forward. "Or, ooh, can I watch you guys film? I'm totally experienced with being on film sets." She paused. "I mean, watching."

Because she'd totally never been in a movie. Definitely not.

"You can go right to iCarly dot com," Freddie said. "We have old shows available, highlights, everything. And you're more than welcome to come watch. Just be careful, or else Sam might drag you on to play 'What am I licking' or something."

Miley... could probably do pretty well at a game like that.

"I accept that challenge," she decided. "When and where should I stop by?" She grabbed a piece of paper from her pocket and held it up. "I've got a trusty map and everything."

There were some large holes in the map where she'd stabbed it with a pencil for getting her lost.

"We tend to change where we shoot," Freddie said. "But it's always on Friday nights. I'd be happy to let you know where when I know, but first I'd kind of have to know your name."

"Oh!" Miley blushed. "Miley Stewart."

Yeah, she was sort of in one of those hyper forget-to-say-her-name moods.

"Freddie Benson," he introduced as well. "It's nice to meet you, Miley. You spend time on movie sets, you said?"

[identity profile] its-theclimb.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he had to be smart enough to pick up on that.

"Uh, yeah," she said, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "I live in LA. So I know some people who are in, like, movies and stuff."

"Cool," Freddie said. "I've not been down there much, but I do kind of hope to some day direct movies. Assuming I can't just retire on my iCarly work, of course." He grinned.

"So is that what you want to do after school? Movies?"

[identity profile] its-theclimb.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. She'd never given it a ton of thought, actually.

"I guess, yeah," she said, feeling shy for some reason. "I really wanna go to Standford with my friend Lilly, but after that... it'd be cool to be in movies, you know?" If her experience in Indiana Joannie had taught her anything, of course.

Then she grinned. "And to direct. Are you any good?"

"I do work on one of the most popular web shows," Freddie said, with a nonchalant shrug. "So I guess I'm pretty good. Haven't done much else, admittedly."

[identity profile] its-theclimb.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Miley pondered that.

"Well, do you think of yourself as, like, the next Spielberg, or more the kind-of-artsy-but-really-not-so-much auteur kind of guys?"
