Actor Meme!

[killsfengshui.livejournal.com]

It's Transmigration 9 Studios. No, the name doesn't make any sense, except that the owner, Stacy, has owned eight studios before this and they've all crashed and burned. Which feels so great for the actors and their sense of job security, let me tell you.

As soon as they're done with their scenes, the characters stop playing their roles and make it real. The scripts are tossed aside, and they can relax now that the cameras are off of them.

What does this mean? Well, perhaps Billy is an actual college graduate, who is disgusted with the scientific inaccuracies and techspeak mumbo-jumbo of his character. Perhaps Kang is a fit Japanese man in a rubber dragon suit. Maybe Renne is a former theater actor that speaks with a posh English accent? Who knows, perhaps Nehaa is a conservative Catholic who finds her role as a stripperiffic space goat horrifying! And it might an ongoing joke off-screen that Leon can't fight for shit, Steve's actor stands in for him during action scenes.

Just roll with it, guys, it's better than my first idea of the night.

"I don't understand my damn motivation," Aibghalien said, tossing down the staff the moment the cameras cut out. "Blow myself up, blow myself up, blow myself up, seriously, what the hell."

He dug into his robes, produced a cigar, and quickly lit it to take a sanity-restoring gag. "I should have signed up for that whatsit movie, with the... Hogwarts and things. Could've at least worked with Alan Rickman. Better than THIS crowd."

"Like, bro? Don't even get me started."

First thing Tavros does is stand up and kick the chair away from him.

"CAN WE GET A PROP GUY IN HERE ALREADY? Anyway. Shut up. At least you get to do sparkly magic crap, okay?" He crosses his eyes and pulls a stupid face. "Uhhhhm, I'm Tavros, and ummm, I get a perfect ass-eye-view of everyone all day, uhhhhhhhhhh, and I don't know how to say sentences even though, duhhhh, I'm thirteen."

Angryface.

"Seriously. I'd fire my agent, but she's my mom."

"Hey, food guy. Tacos, por favor." Ron calls out.

"Guys, If you hate it that much, just get yourself written out. It's not like it's really all that difficult."

"Magic! Pfah. Standing in front of a green screen waving my hands. Years! All those years in Julliard so my best scenes can lie on the cutting room floor, to showcase more of this graphical spectacle."

He looked sour for a moment. Someone better damn well get him a taco and a flask now.

"Written out? I couldn't do that. It wouldn't be professional."

The intern in the minion suit set the hilariously fake dummy book down to go get a drink.

They'd CGI the full effects in later.

"Oh god, here we go. 'Bluhbluhbluh, classically trained at places fulla dudes so old they fart dust,' like that stuff even matters in the days of Youtube and autotune."

Tavros tosses the horns aside and peels off the wig. Messy blonde curls. Messy blonde curls everywhere.

"Face it, you couldn't hack it at Cambridge or whatever and crawled into the first studio that'd crack the door. And you," looking at Ron now, "should try dealing with my 'agent' before making suggestions like that. I'd like to see my eighteenth birthday, okay."

"Hey, was just a suggestion." Ron replied. "Anyways, see you guys tomorrow. I'm gonna go find Jason."

"I LIKE acting!" Aibghalien sputtered. "It was my dream as a youth!"

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Tavros stops scrubbing off the grey facepaint and glances back at Aibghalien. "Is it really acting if you're the stuffy old dude on and off the set, though? Face it, bro. We got typecast. Next season we'll probably be mentor and student or some shit."

"I believe I'm lined up to play a villain next season, come to think of it," he said, eyes shining with the joy. Everyone knows villains are the truly admirable and nuanced roles.

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

"Like anyone will even notice you after that whole Big Zero takedown plot. They'll probably just have you blow yourself up again." There's no hiding it though. He's totally jealous. Villain roles can be amazing, but he keeps getting these nice guy kiddie roles. "Speaking of. That whole Punishment thing? Fucked up. Can they even show that? I thought there were, like, decency laws or something."
