"Battle eachother... what?" Jerry hesitated, just trying to keep track of everything. "No, no I..." Then it registered just who was talking to him. He gaped down at the swollen stomach of the woman for several moments before 'Big J's' words finally sank in. "I... I'll tell you what's gotten into me!" The man's voice cracked as it raised in volume, "I'm... I'm sick of these DAMN HORSEMEN AND... AND THEIR MIND ********! Sasha, please just... just let me talk to you for just a moment..." He begged, trying to break free of the pregnant woman's hold. "PleaseIloveyouIcan'tdothis-" Character Name: Jerry Collins AU Name: Rick Brody Description: Rick Brody is hot stuff and knows it. Notorious for back-room escapes with giggling supple interns, and brilliant TV-character actor, turned Star by the success of the show. Despite his good looks, prefers to play odd-characters, and exceptionally difficult to work with at times. Rumored to have an on-again-off-again cocaine problem, and an adult film or two under his belt, which has been kept hush-hush by the more family-oriented Network Execs.

"CUT. CUT CUT. That's a wrap!"
A shrill bell went off, several of the actors immediately vacating the premises to get themselves something to drink before seating back down in the little 'spectator's area' chairs.
"What the...hell?" Some of the producers were rewinding the recorded scene. "What is going on with their acting, its utter cra-"
"-We don't have time for this!" The director barked, "Just-just cut them off the scene or something. They can have another touching reunion later. God. What is wrong with people today."
The bell rang again.
"Clear the set for the next stage, thank you, extras, if you could fill around the semi-circle that makes up the arena that would be great. This is the scene where some of the Hunters are sent into the Colosseum to fight the released monsters, after the stunts scene, so they are now all cornered. A crowd of horsemen are looking down at them jeering at them. Things look bad, we're gonna fade to commercial right after this scene so make sure you look tense, nervous. Freeze frame. Make it count, princesses!"
The director moved to two poles in the center of the tiny "arena" recording space. Madeline, your chains are tied with Robert and Jerry, so you three have to work together to try and stop one of the three released monsters, here's the monster concept design one more time." A picture was shown of a vicious looking sabre-tooth creature. "Next in the center one we'll have three of them, Deryk, Kat, and Ryan. You guys are fending off this guy," He pointed to a sketch of a large yeti, "And lastly we have Dakota, Matt, and Tori, in the last section, you guys are fending off this guy," A picture of an oversized armoured scorpion was shown."
Each trainee was also given what could only be explained as a fake version of their weapon in shape, covered with strange buttons all over it. They were clearly expected to hold on to it.
"AND... ACTION" OOC SCENE 1 IF YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN LISTED:ALL LISTED ACTORS ARE NOW PART OF THE SCRIPT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE SCRIPT BELOW. If it is your line, you need to recite it. HOWEVER. Roll a 10-sided dice each time you get a line. The HIGHER you roll, the better you do. The lower the roll... well.. you really suck big time. You forgot your line. You stared off into space, you fiddled around when you shouldn't have. You stared at the camera as if it was the best thing ever. - Basically you sucked. - If it is your TURN ON THE SCRIPT to say a line, make your post and say the line/ rp it out/ roll the 10-sided dice. Then wait your turn, and do it again when it is your line again. - Actual actors do not need to roll because they know how to professionally act. They can post IC reactions as they wish though. - Make sure to write ACTING at the top of your post. EXAMPLE SCRIPT: Bob: I love you, Sue Sue: I love you too Bob *moves closer* Steve: I LOVE BOB MORE. In this case, Bob would post their line first and Sue shortly afterwards. After Sue has posted, then Steve can post their line. Both would have the words ACTING on top of their post. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN LISTED.You can rp reactions/ post comments as you need. Simply write SPECTATING at the top of your post. You can even comment/ gabber/ chat with anyone else waiting on the seats, noone can really hear you on set! THE SCRIPT *insert a huge roar. The SFX placeholder for the first monster circles around Madeline and Robert and Jerry. Robert is in the front, blocking Madeline, Jerry is to the side* Robert: *heavily injured* Hey, can you do me a favour? If I die here, at least give this to Petra. *he slips off ring* Tell her how much she means to me, even right here, right now. Madeline: Robert I- *she pauses, taking the ring, before giving it back to him* No, you tell her yourself. We need to get out of this together. *Brandishes her weapon, determined, staring at the monster in the eyes* We fight as Hunters! Jerry: *starts singing* "They might burn us, They might bite us, They might and scratch and claw! But we won't stop, we won't rest. Until we've gone and killed them all! WATCHOUT! HERE WE COME! WATCHOUT! Here comes the sun! *next scene has sfx monster circling Deryk, Kat, and Ryan* Deryk: Ahhh!! We're so dead we're so dead we're so dead we're so dead!! *flails and runs around the pole in circles* Kat: Shut up Deryk! You're not helping! Ryan! Do something! *desperately turns to shoot her guns at the monster* Ryan: I'm trying, these chains are way too short. We need more leverage! Kat, buy us some time, I'm going go try something. *Ryan wraps chains around himself and strains it against the pole. They snap.* Holy crap it worked! *last scene has the fake sfx monster attacking Dakota, who is trying to fend it off* Dakota: *heavily injured, holding weapon, breathing heavily. Turns to Tori* Hey babe, if we make it out of this, how about you and me, and some quality time? *moves to look at monster, grimacing* Even if we don't I'm still totally ready for a threesome baby. Tori: Thanks but no thanks. *flat look* And oh, by the way, if we make this. Your a** is grass. Matt: *tired gasps, clutching at his side, which is openly bleeding* All this time, I have been sleeping, entirely unaware of everything going around me. All this... these monsters... all this everything, it is real? So everyone else above us, is just going to sleep, unharmed and unaware of how much we are sacrificing for them? Is this what it means to be a Hunter, because I would have thought we would have made a difference. I thought, when I signed up to be a Hunter, I fought for myself and for others, not- not as this. Who is going to save the world if we don't? Who is going to change things if we don't take action? You guys have been here longer than I have, you can't just give up right now, this isn't how it should end, ever. *silence, Matt gazes at the other two sincerely* I believe in you.

" Sasha?" Now J just looked confused. "The hell, man. That's ANA. Sasha is her CHARACTER. That must be some good s**t you on today. I think izza 'bout time you take a little breather. Somewhere else." "And let go o' my arm before I ha' ta get off my black a** and pop you one." Fortunately, the director soon called Rick onto the set. With a smirk, J settled back into his chair, dragging Ana down to sit on his lap. "Break a leg, b***h."

Spectator Rick's personal assistant then eased on by, and Katie let go of him to let them do their magic. "Here you go sir, something to take the edge off and get you into your Jerry Place." The flask was quite nice, and the rest of the cast studiously ignored it. Anything to get the shoot taken care of.

ACTINGBefore they could say another word, someone was pulling him on set, adjusting the giant bloody 'gash' in his costume, and setting him on his marker. He looked down at the floor, put his feet firmly in place, and then turned up to the cameras. Mmmmmm. Robert was in his element. It felt good to be in front of the camera's again. The color filled his face with excitement, and he flipped through the script hungrily. Only one line, how sad.. but at least it was a good one. A real good one, in fact. He threw the script over his shoulder dramatically, pressed his back against Jerry and Madeline, and waited for the call, while his face crunched up into super serious dramatic mode. They even gave him a prop Jezebel. The tip looked worn, but otherwise it looked pretty spot on. "AND... ACTION"Robert's voice became gruff, low, and ridiculous. There was a sense of drama in his entire persona that simply didn't need to be there. The fact was, the stage required far more dramaticism than television. And he was overdoing it. He slipped off his ring, and held it up to his face, staring at it for a good five seconds. "Listen, sister." Improvising? You bet. "You gotta promise me something. If we.. if I die here.." His hand pressed against his fake wound, hamming it up thickly. "You gotta get this back to Petra." He turned his head and handed Madeline his wedding ring. He closed her fingers around it, and patted her closed hand, giving her the most tragic wounded puppy look he could muster. "Just.. tell her how much... she means to me. Even right here. Even right now." His eyes flickered to the real Petra, and he gave her a wink. Which kind of ruined the moment. Oh, Bubba.

Jerry huffed, eyes wild as his fists clenched, ready to slap some sense into Wash but... No. No this... they were puppets. Puppets. A dream. It wasn't them. Couldn't be them. A flask was suddenly pushed into his hands as he was lead toward the stage. Get him into his Jerry Place. He gave a sudden, sharp, wild snort and series of laughter, "My Jerry Place. Right. Right. My... my... my frickin' Jerry place..." He babbled before twisting off the cap and taking a swig. It was empty by the time he had stepped under the lights and traded for a massive block of foam with spines. He also found this absolutely hilarious apparently, laughing even louder as he was shoved into his mark.

Looking over the script, Deryk soon froze as he realized he was being called up to the stage now. W-wait. He had to go act? Now? He was pretty much prodded ahead after given a model of Tooley.. who now had buttons. Man, he wished he could hear her right now. Frowning, he shuffled over nervously to where he was supposed to be, shifting in place as things looked like they were supposed to get started. Quote: Deryk Bond played by James R. Byren. A talented actor who has an unfortunate history of substance abuse. Has been to rehab once during his career.

Free from their roles for the time being, Rep finally edged off the set, an arm resting lightly on Harrison's back, just in case he got dragged off somewhere else - determined not to lose the moon. So Jordan was captive. Here? Wherever the ******** they were or back at the hive.
"I'm just ******** glad to hear with certainty he might be alive."
Spotting Rin seated off to the side, he remembered the bizarre way she'd acted only moments before. He gave Harrison a serious look. " You are still you right? I mean. You aren't suddenly in love with Clarice and s**t right? Unless you were before."

Unfortunately for Dakota, their date in the closet would have to wait.
Before she could even think, the Sun trainee was on a stage, being asked to act. Act? Like, as in, well?
Okay. It couldn't be that hard. Right?
Noticing Robert screw his face up into super serious dramatic mode, Madeline followed suit.
And if she'd thought fighting twin centipedes was a ******** chore, she hadn't seen Robert act yet. Throughout the man's entirely overdramatized part, she was screwing her face up and trying not to breathe in fear of laughing her head up, accumulating the look of a ripe tomato and a constipated old man. She stared down at the hand the fake ring had been put into by fake Robert, and she tried to exhale and not sound like a dying pig.
"Robert," She said loudly, and for all intensive purposes, like she was in a Shakespearian play, slapping a hand over her chest, "I - "
Cant remember my lines.
"I. Know not. How we'll get. Out of this." She continued after a long pause, still in overdramatized-Shakespeare mode. "But you can ******** tell her your ******** self." She reached forward and grabbed hold of Roberts face with her hands, staring deep into his eyes. "We need to get out of this together, because - " She caught sight of fake-Allan ( who she only vaguely remembered as the anime-crazy division lead that called them all strange things, ) and Wilson, and in a sudden burst of completely unneeded inspiration, said, "because we are nakama."
... That definitely wasn't the line.
And then, because if her acting wasn't bad enough, she reeled her head back and headbutted Robert square in the face, standing back and sticking the ring out at him. "Now take your ******** ring back - " She raised her other hand, fake-Arsen included, in the air.
"We fight," She shouted, "AS - ******** - HUNTERS!"
If she wasn't fired by tomorrow, there was something wrong with the world.

Whaaaaaaaaat? She had to act as well? Gawd, she really hated this place! Storming her way onto set, she stopped by Mark. Mark..smoking..? Pulling the cigarette from his mouth, Kat tossed it onto the floor and stomped it out. "No smoking for you!" And she continued out onto set.

'Mark' chortled and made catcalls at Kat. "Love ya too babe." He winked and made a fake telephone with one hand. "Call me sometime, bed's looking lonely without you."

SPECTATING
Harrison shook his head, miserable. "The only girls I ever been with are-" he looked awkward, "...you and Jordan. You- you know that. I'm me. And you're you, right? None of this s**t makes any sense."
He watched as they cuffed the hunters together with cheap shackles.
"Clarice asked if I'd been having nightmares, she said- in that script, you heard my line, they know about Julie, they got our weapons...I'm-" Harrison rolled up his shirt again. "They're gone. I'm not scarred up. How'd they get rid of them? She kept calling me Paul."

SPECTATING
The scene ended. Wilson fought back the relieved smile spreading across his face as he walked off set. He planted himself in one of the empty seats, his legs sprawled out. He gripped the edge of his seat and tapped his fingers against the edge while he watched the others gather onto the ‘arena.’ Wilson made a face at the prop weapons in the other trainees’ hands. After a while, he looked around at the other ‘actors.’
He made another face at Medea, but then hastily decided to turn his gaze toward another person.
Wilson stared at Allan.
He stared at the textbook.
He stared for a long time, his mouth open. “What.”

Ryan was absentmindely looking over the script when the director began barking orders at them. Of course them being 'actors' were expected to actually act. Which if he had known that, Ryan might have actually opted to stay back on the island and take whatever punishment the leads could dish out. Unfortunately, because he didn't, he slid out of his chair and quietly followed the others out onto the set.
Just in time to witness Kat and Mark's display.
"I think he likes you, Kat." He whispered to the sun trainee with an amused look.
