The work of a can be summed up in two words. Why and How.

“Have fun pretending then.”

“And you can have fun being an insecure ass hole...ass hole.”

✴︎ — “ I’m just sort of writing miscellaneous lyrics. But I’m kinda hoping to be able to turn some of them into an actual play, ” Nataliya replied. “ One of the composers I’ve worked with a long time is working on some of it with me. ”

“That’s actually pretty cool. I’m honestly more of a story and visuals person. I’ve never really had a knack for music.” He said “What kind of style of music do you work with?”

At the man’s apology, Leo immediately felt bad for being so aggressive. His pride was to hard to swallow, so he shrugged. “You have ace survival skills.” 

Derrick paused for a moment before saying “I’m going to pretend that wasn’t sarcasm and say thank you.” Rick’s really trying to keep calm but the dudes really pushing his buttons.

“So I’ve seen.” She agrees, thinking of some plots in past flicks that matched up in her head. Though it never did turn out great for the ones trying to get revenge. “I bet they’re designing tasks around our jobs and stuff.”

“That would be interesting to see. It would take a good bit of creativity to work all our jobs in.” He already had a couple images running through his head.

✴︎ — Ana-Mariya had been lying on her stomach in a common room, The Human Condition resting on the ground below her. She looked up when she heard the door opening, pushing herself up to sit on her knees, staring at the person who’d just walked in. “ Perfect timing, I was just about to go find something else to do, possibly with company. ”

Rick entered the common room with no particular reason in mind. He didn’t really have anything to do and he just needed to get out of his room. He was considering checking out the arcade, he hadn’t been in one in years. “I was honestly thinking about going to the arcade. I heard there was one here and it kinda caught my interest.”

✴︎ — Nat smiled, “ thanks, hun. I’m usually way less clumsy, ” she chuckled. Nat shook her head, “ sort of. I’m an actress, and I’ve been branching out into playwriting and composition recently. This is mostly lyrics though, ” she waved a hand towards her notebook.

“Cool.  I know more about screenplays than I do stage plays. Are you building a play around the soundtrack or are you just writing miscellaneous lyrics at the moment?” He asked “If you don’t mind me asking.”

✴︎ — Nataliya had been wandering through the gardens, trying to clear her head, and in an uncharacteristic show of clumsiness, she managed to drop the bag she’d been carrying causing her lyric notebook and a mess of writing utensils to spill out. A couple of her pens landed at someone else’s feet, and rather than invading their personal space, she stood a couple feet away behind them, and cleared her throat to catch their attention. She plastered on a smile in response to theirs, and spoke, “ I dropped my bag and some of my pens rolled over here. I’m not fond of invading others’ personal space, though, ” she motioned to the pens laying on the ground.

Derrick reached to pick up the woman’s pens  “Here you go.” as he handed them to her he noticed she was placing a well-used notebook back into her bag. “I’m sorry, but if you don’t mind me asking, are you a writer?”

Leo narrowed his eyes. “You’re walking awfully slow and making it next to impossible for me to go around you. Honestly, I was counting on you not looking up from that phone long enough for you to run into a tree.”

"Sorry about that, I was just so caught up in what I was doing that I stopped being aware of my surroundings.” He said trying his best to be polite, but his tone still sounds slightly defensive.

haebtina-chai:

“Revenge stories are the best!” She cheers happily again, a bounce in her step as she did. “We’ll have to talk to the show people and get it brought in or something, that would be so cool. They talk about our jobs at some point, don’t they?” 

“They do give a good filmmaker a decent amount of creative leeway.” He shifted his feet and smiled glad to see someone excited about seeing his movie. It was originally why he got into filmmaking in the first place. To share his vision with as many people as possible. “They probably will talk about our jobs sooner or later, seems like to big a detail to not explore.”

“I know this is an odd question, but do you mind if I take your picture?” she asked. “I’m documenting my time on the show for my instagram account, and you have this nice look to you. Don’t worry, I won’t show your face if you’re afraid of that sorta thing,” she said holding up her camera. 

“Oh, sure go ahead.” putting his phone in his pocket, he smiled “I’m cool with my face being online, so you don’t have to worry about that. Do you want me to look at the camera or are you looking for something more natural?”

Task 1

"Um...well...” Derrick said not necessarily due to awkwardness, but more out of a need to organize his thoughts. He had really only talked to one other cast member but considering that she was, well a she, Haebtina couldn’t exactly be his pair. Considering he had to pick someone he just decided to go with her. “I’m not exactly into women, but considering the fact that I’ve only spoken to one person so far I’m going to guess Haebtina.”

haebtina-chai:

“That sounds so good actually, if there’s one thing that the humans did well it was the horror genera.” Tina loved everything that was horror really, which is funny considering her life was a horror movie. Her eyes skimmed over the phone and then she looked back to him again. “I’d be excited to see it. Will you show it here at all?”

He shrugs, her comment boosting his ego a bit  “The concept is just a basic supernatural revenge story.” he pressed the side button making the screen go dark  The review itself was mostly positive, he’d read the rest later. “As for showing it here, yeah if the theatre’d be willing.”

haebtina-chai:

“Aren’t they?” She asks while pausing to smell one quickly. She wasn’t an Earth Fae but she loved flowers just the same. “Oh? What movie?” Haebtina perked up again, walking to the man’s side to peak at his phone again.

“Oh, it’s an independent horror film.” He states “It follows this kid who was basically a mass murderer and is haunted and eventually killed by the kids he murdered.” He tilted his phone a bit so she could see the screen better “I know the premise isn’t terribly creative, but with way, I shot it and with how the script was actually handled kinda made it come out better than expected.”

haebtina-chai:

“What’cha lookin’ at?” Haebtina asks curiously because for a moment she’d followed him and couldn’t help but hate how slow he was walking and how much he wasn’t looking at the things around him. “It’s beautiful out here so I really hope that’s better than some of these flowers.”

“Oh yeah, these flowers are absolutely beautiful,” Derrick said looking around to actually pay a bit of attention to the scenery. He kinda puffed up a bit, Rick was always happy to talk about his work and he was particularly proud of his latest film. “Well, I’m a director and my most recent movie has just been released. I was trying to see what the reception was.”

[f-rick-tion-blog]

Derrick was bored so he decided to take a stroll through one of the gardens. The flowers were beautiful and Rick had always had an appreciation for lovely imagery, not that he could enjoy it too much as he was scrolling through his phone in an attempt to keep up with the reception his newest work. He had finished work on a small indie horror film that had finally been shown at its first festival. He was in the middle of reading one of the reviews when he heard someone behind him clear their throat. He turned to greet them and smiled.
