@blndevision. : Starter call

Betel’s head snapped left && right, searching for any sign of a camera or crew because somebody had to be FUCKING with him right now . The land of the dead’s population was so INCREDIBLY LARGE that your odds of meeting a celebrity were just about slim to none. 

But there the poltergeist was, standing in line just spaces behind Marilyn-goddamn-Monroe. Death’s second most famous celebrity, aside from maybe Elvis… In the flesh! 

or, well, sort of…

Ever the opportunist, the ghostly man shouldered his way ahead of two or three rather angry looking ghosts, so he could stand closer. The con-man cleared his throat && leaned ‘round the bottle blonde icon’s shoulder with a rakish (and utterly sleazy) smile.

“ ‘scuse me there, MISS, but you look AWFULLY familiar… like somebody famous, maybe. Or maybe weknew each other in our past life…” feigning ignorance, the bio-exorcist continued with all the charming suavity of a snake, “&& can I jus’ SAY, ma’am, you don’t look a DAY over two hundred. I wish death treated everybody that nice, know what I mean? ”

    A voice makes itself heard over her shoulder, startling the blonde and causing her to give a little JUMP. Well, yikes! You'd think that, now being dead, she wouldn't be so easily scared... and yet. Head turns, eyes peering into the... peculiar man's; lips parted as she hears him speak. Oh, boy... this one didn't have any good intentions, did he? 'You don’t look a day over two hundred'.... she had to snicker at that. Getting COMPLIMENTS from a ghost was a level she never thought she'd reach. Straightening up, she allows a smile to spread across her face -- deciding to play along with whatever he was throwing at her. "Maybe, maybe not. But for what it's worth --- name's Marilyn." He probably knows that and is just playing dumb... but hey, gotta introduce yourself anyways! "What's yours?"

Marilyn Monroe behind the scenes of There’s No Business Like Show Business, 1954.

I like people, but sometimes I wonder how sociable I am. I can easily be alone and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind it- it’s like a rest, it kind of refreshes my self. I think there are two things about human beings- at least, I think there are about me: they want to be alone and they also want to be together. I have a gay side to me and also a sad side. That’s a real problem. I’m very sensitive to that. That’s why I love my work. When I’m happy with it, I feel more sociable. If not, I like to be alone. And in my private life, it’s the same way. -Marilyn in an interview with Georges Belmont, editor of the French magazine Marie Claire, 1960 [Photographed by Andre De Dienes]

❛ I didn’t know you were a fan of horror movies. ❜

❛ Who doesn’t enjoy a good scare every now and again? Especially this time of year. ❜

❛ Ritual sacrifice. It’s slightly different. ❜

❛ There’s no flying in my life without you. ❜

❛ The only person you’re gonna scare is yourself! ❜

❛ This has to be our little secret, okay? ❜

❛ I got you something. ❜

❛ I love you, NAME. ❜

❛ All women are taught to fear power. Own it. ❜

❛ Oh, you had me at boys to torment. ❜

❛ Are you going to do something here? ❜

❛ You’re a rebel, NAME. It’s how I like my witches. ❜

❛ I’m done being a coward. ❜

❛ It’s not a tornado that’s coming. It’s something much much worse. ❜

❛ The witches are coming. ❜

❛ You’re cold. ❜

❛ Will you stay with me? ❜

❛ That sounds like a dream. ❜

❛ You don’t know what I’m capable of. ❜

❛ Hi there. ❜

❛ How did you get in here? ❜

❛ You’re only supposed to start missing things after you’ve said goodbye to them, right? ❜

❛ Just promise me you’ll be careful. ❜

❛ Can we take a rain check? ❜

❛ I don’t want to lose you, too. ❜

❛ That wasn’t so bad in the end. ❜

❛ Everything has a price. ❜

❛ So dramatic. ❜

❛ I’m dying for a warm buttermilk bath. And a plate of macaroons. ❜

❛ I can get behind that. ❜

❛ I can see things, things I shouldn’t be able to. ❜

❛ You’re a terrible liar. ❜

❛ I’m so sorry. ❜

❛ You have to go. ❜

❛ You’ve done enough. ❜

❛ You lied to me. You did the one thing I told you not to do. ❜

❛ We have a big problem! ❜

❛ I’ve done something rather impulsive. ❜

❛ The best and worst things  happen in the shadows. ❜

❛ You changed your hair. ❜

❛ What if we start over? ❜

❛ I don’t think that’s such a good idea. ❜

❛ I don’t know if it’s safe for me to be around you. ❜

❛ I love you too much to risk anything bad happening to you. ❜

❛ Can I have one last kiss? ❜

               A curt nod to the woman. He picks up his penpad and his pencil, all ready and eager to start the interview. He had a few questions ready from fans, and a few he was preparing for himself. It’s quite interesting the woman asks about the ol’ patriotic uncle. His questions were going to be geared toward the truth – something he never knew back in Wellington Wells.

               “   Yes! Well, he’s told everyone about you. I don’t know if you read my articles, miss, but a big part of my work is talking about my life in Wellington Wells. Have you heard of it?   “     he sits back now, a leg lifting to rest upon the other knee. A casual and soft smile as he tilts his head toward Marilyn. He’d be quite surprised if she didn’t! Then again, she must have been a busy woman.     “   He always acted like big people. Mainly oldies, like Queen Mary and King George III. But sometimes he went a bit out there, and picked up on some other, not so well-known people on the islands. Like you, Miss Monroe. He told us how desperate you were for fame, and how Joy would have made you love life regardless.

               “   It’s why I wanted to interview you, actually. I wanted to find out who you were myself. Not by some hyped-up Joy addict who acted like the best man in Wellington Wells for us. I wanna see you for you.   “

    Oh. His articles. There it is -- the reason she knows just about NOTHING about it. She hasn't picked up a newspaper in a while! She has very little free time lately... and, when she does, she prefers to pick up a book instead (mostly because she has a few unfinished ones waiting for her to finish reading them!). But... now she's thinking she should really LOOK for them, and sit down to see what the whole deal is. She's interested, that's for sure. As he talks, she simply peers up at him with curious eyes -- paying attention to his every word. So this... so called Uncle Jack would dress up as famous people. And she was one of the lot. Okay... now she's trying to picture it and wondering how THAT would go.

"Huh." It's the only thing she mutters in response; such accompanied by a nod. Desperate for fame... she doesn't know about that. Maybe she was, once... but that was long ago (when she was still naive). Now that she has it, she's not so sure she likes it as MUCH. "Well, y' ask me whatever you want... and I'll do my best to answer truthfully. Swear to god!"

“She was extra photogenic and enjoyed being photographed. Most people do not enjoy the process. It usually shows if they don’t. They unknowingly create a barrier between themselves and the camera so that you don’t see the real person, the natural individual. Marilyn had no such barrier, and she was very willing, able, and athletic. She told me she’d do whatever I wanted – cartwheels, handstands, climb a tree….I photographed her doing all of those. She did a superior cartwheel!” - Earl Leaf
