The Return of the Actor Meme!

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Reviving a meme for great justice! Quoted from the original post:

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.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's have some fun!

Zouichi shrugged, still smiling. "Well, it's the business. What can you do? ...except hope that you don't end up in a full-body suit, I guess. That guy's got it rough."

He motioned vaguely at his costume. "I'll meet you back here in five?"

"Tell me about it... And sounds like a plan. See you in a little bit!" Ildraniath wave and headed for her trailer. Time to change!

Zouichi was relieved to finally be able to return his costume and change back into normal clothes. It looked cool on television and all, but it wasn't really designed for everyday use. He couldn't imagine what the designers had been thinking when they came up with it -- no one would seriously run around battlefields in that getup... would they?

The guns were pretty cool, though. Even if they were just props.

When he made it back, he was dressed considerably more casually. He wondered where that guy that played Howard had wandered off to. Nice guy; too bad he got so much fan hate.

Ildraniath returned a few minutes later in street clothing, look much more casual and much more comfortable. While the costumes looked amazing, they tended to be a bit awkward to move around in sometimes. Even if she did have to make it look fluid and graceful the entire time she was on-screen. She flipped a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she walked up with a grin.

"Ready to go?"

He nodded, smiling back. "So, what are you in the mood for today? I think there's a new Indian place that was supposed to open up a couple blocks down. Or I guess there's always the deli."

Zouichi paused for a moment. "Oh yeah, I was thinking I could pick your brain about something. Do you talk to the Nanoha cast very often?"

"Indian food sounds decent," Ildy replied with a shrug. "May as well try it out."

His question made her furrow her brow, "Oh, sometimes. I've done a scene or two with them. Why?"

Zouichi nodded, then frowned slightly as he headed toward the exit. "Well, I heard a couple of people have spotted this guy hanging around their trailer. I mean, he hasn't done anything yet that I know of, but... you know how quickly that can change."

"I guess he could just be a harmless fan, but security's usually pretty good about not letting them slip past."
