TALK TO VP-TAN

[fangirlitis]

[glorifiedtrash]

All right. Before we even get started... Who knows what anime is? ...Because I was of the opinion it was porn.

[APPARENTLY IT'S NOT????]

[secretofthefox]

Mmm... I think it's some kind of TV show?

[sob if only he remembered Kim properly...]

[glorifiedtrash]

Great. What's a TV?

[secretofthefox]

It's like a box that you can watch movies or play games on.

[glorifiedtrash]

Oh. ...Weird. So it's some kind of game or a play I guess? ...And none of you remember any of that stuff, do you.

[killerfields]

Shouldn't you be asking the Echo that sorta thing?
It's probably something stupid.

[man it's too bad ventus doesn't remember, huh]

[glorifiedtrash]

If you think she even has two brain-cells between herself and herself after that... [Look, he is just saying. The possibility is limited. ...ALSO SO HELPFUL GUYS LMAO.] And yeah. It probably is. But we have to make something all of them like. ...I know Sepsis likes festering wounds, but that doesn't seem like it'd have a mass market appeal.

[killerfields]

Something all of'em like...
A horror story would hit a few of them, at least.

And throw in a little romance, I guess.

[glorifiedtrash]

Like the beautiful shrine maiden gets rescued from the possessed feudal lord by the handsome groundskeeper kind of thing?

[cosmetician]

It sounds like some kind of play.

[what is television, what are movies]

Doesn't rule that option out, but it's likely more than just that.

[killerfields]

So, basically we have to come up with some kinda story.
Doesn't sound too bad at all.

[He can use his ULTIMATE ARTIST SKILLS that everyone got to see during The Sticky Incident. Clearly.]

[cosmetician]

Yeah, I already have some ideas. What about you?

[no drawing me as a cat]

[killerfields]

Well, a lot of these Echoes seem to like doing terrible things, or at least, that's what Nightingale told me.

So, a horror story. Maybe something else with it to appeal to the rest of them?
Romantic side-story?

[he can't write romance though sorry. THAT'S WHAT ZELOS IS HERE FOR]

[glorifiedtrash]

That begs the question though: do any of you remember plays besides me?

[cosmetician]

No specific ones, but I know what they are. Making up one of our own won't be hard, and is kind of the point.

[glorifiedtrash]

Are you suggesting we put in an honest day's work here? You?

[secretofthefox]

So we just make up a play. Doesn't sound too hard.

[killerfields]

Yeah, not hard at all, if you ask me.
Got any ideas?

[they have to consider everything, after all!]

[secretofthefox]

Maybe a story about a knight who goes around helping people?

PITCH

[glorifiedtrash]

[There's a sheet tacked up and hanging from the ceiling. In front of it stands lovely presenter Gloss to start the pitch.]

Re: PITCH

[killerfields]

[Ventus, of course, makes sure the main lights are off and their backlighting is on, as well as makes sure everyone who's using puppets has them!

He's standing next to Sol, holding a couple of the ghost puppets himself as he waits for the narrator to start... MAKE HIM PROUD GUYS]

Re: PITCH

[cosmetician]

[rude

clears throat, and then launches into it, keeping her tone appropriately nuanced throughout]

The story begins with a young couple on the brink of getting married. Looking to the future, they buy a house that's fortunately, if rather unusually, quite cheap despite being so grand. But much to their horror and despair, the reason why quickly becomes painfully obvious: it's haunted by an entire family of ghosts! Many years ago, these doomed souls killed each other out of greed over a fabulous inheritance that's yet to be found!

Still obsessive over their forsaken treasure and viciously hostile to any intruders, these ghosts force the unlucky that are touched by them to relieve the painful death of the ghost in question as though it was their own.

Now the two ill-fated lovebirds must quell the anger and bitterness of the ghosts, one by one, before they end up driven not just out of their home, but completely crazy as well! Only by following mysterious clues scattered around the estate can they hope to find the vanished inheritance, which awaits discovery somewhere within the dark heart of the house itself.

[The lights go out to illuminate a sheet held up by Zelos because he's conveniently tall. Gloss steps out and clears her throat, launching into a nuanced tale of woe and heartwarming dokis:]

[Two shadows, one of a heroic man and one of his lovely fiance appear on the sheet.]

But much to their horror and despair, the reason why quickly becomes painfully obvious: it's haunted by an entire family of ghosts! Many years ago, these doomed souls killed each other out of greed over a fabulous inheritance that's yet to be found!

[Behind her on the sheet shadows of ghosts appear! They begin to violently circle the couple while sad...prepubescent wails can be heard. Wails of mourning, loss, anger and hate! Maybe there's a fox in there somewhere.]

Still obsessive over their forsaken treasure and viciously hostile to any intruders, these ghosts force the unlucky that are touched by them to relieve the painful death of the ghost in question as though it was their own.

[Angry, red light flickers behind the sheet. The ghost shadows fly more fervently, pained and angry!]

Now the two ill-fated lovebirds must quell the anger and bitterness of the ghosts, one by one, before they end up driven not just out of their home, but completely crazy as well! Only by following mysterious clues scattered around the estate can they hope to find the vanished inheritance, which awaits discovery somewhere within the dark heart of the house itself.

[There's a white flash and then all the ghosts disappear as the sun slowly rises behind the sheet to bring new hope. Or, you know, Zelos pulls out his wings because apparently he's a great light show. The end.]

[secretofthefox]

[Sol will contribute by playing the shadow puppets of our lovely heroic couple.

Fiere will hold up a ghost or two in his teeth, too.]
