☆TRACK IIX: BETTER TO PRETEND PT. 2

Who: Royals, Heroes, and Rebels.
What: Hit gameshow series “Fairy Trial” is celebrating one of its anniversaries, and it’s invited you onboard. Check out the OOC post for IC match ups!
When: March 21st.
Where: Sevetop Entertainment’s studio.
Warnings: Mingle log mystery bag.

“Every prince is a fantasy,
The witch is inside of me.
Her poison will wash away the memory.”

☆BETTER TO PRETEND



The day has finally come for Fairy Trial filming to begin!

No matter if they’ve arrived by limo or taken the bus, everyone involved gets star treatment as the makeup and costume departments go wild with the models they’ve been given. At least Sevetop has good accomodations. While it’s a chaotic and crowded scene, everyone still manages to fit in the two buildings Sevetop has dedicated for Fairy Trial’s purposes in this area. It’s one of the only points today that anyone will have a chance to everyone else. After all, once everyone involved in a particular challenge is done with, they’re hurried out the door and to their particular destination.

Every challenge has a different area it takes place in, after all. For some pair ups, they’ll find themselves merely being escorted to another set on Sevetop’s huge property. Others will find themselves being escorted to some very classy transportation and taken outside of Vista City to special obstacle courses that simply wouldn’t fit anywhere else. On the bright side, once the actual filming is done no matter the location, the crew involved seems to relax considerably. Whether they’ve done great or not, Heroes and Royals are treated to dinner and a change out of their costumes. Good job, everyone.

“We kill the lights and put on a show.
It's all a lie, but you'd never know.
The star will shine,
And then it will fall,
And you will forget it all.”

Artolo and Usagi

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-03-23 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Artolo doesn't even need to consider what he's going to do. He was already set from the start, and when he gets a glimpse of his 'dashing hero' when they're being escorted to the set?]

[He fairly cackles.]

[This is probably proof he's not a good person.]

[Cracking his knuckles, Artolo grins at the various screens in front of him and leans back. This is gonna be good.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (The things I deal with)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-03-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Of all the challenges, of all the people, it had to be this and it had to be him. Usagi sighed, adjusting the tie on her costume. She rather be wearing a mini-skirt, but she supposed that wouldn't be possible in this place.

She took a deep breath as they counted down.

3...

2..

1.

GO!

Usagi started heading in, and since she was very familiar with boots, she was doing alright, honestly. Any time she though she heard something, she would press herself against a wall or in the shadows of a statue. She glared as she watched security come for her again and had already done two sweeps prior.

What. A. Jerk.

She was starting to sweat as she was pressed back to back with a statue, the security guards on her path and she closed her eyes, having to remind herself that this was just a game and praying she didn't need to sneeze.

iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (Good night I hope you dream about)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-03-25 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course it had to be him.]

[Elbows on the console, he rests his chin on his knuckles and watches her progress through the screen. It's actually a little surprising to find that she's not as atrocious as he would have pegged her. Still not exactly the stealth master, and he sniggers as he watches her hide behind a statue.]

[Classic sneaky maneuver. Sure would be a shame... if someone were to ring the alarm again for the security...]

[He doesn't.]

[No, what Art does is that he waits until security has moved on and she's on the move again. Then he presses the big shiny security button for that area.]

[Ain't he a stinker?]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (This is so exciting)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-03-26 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Usagi was torn between crying in frustration and screaming in rage as she got to a shadowed alcove, hiding herself completely. They couldn't even give her black to do this.

She was only 50 feet away now. She was panting and leaned her forehead against the wall. What did she do to deserve this?

She took a deep breath and watched as the security passed her. Couldn't there be a limit on the security or something! Usagi made her way to the next hiding spot. This was the trickier part. There were absolutely no hiding spots for the last 25 feet. She took a deep breath as she looked at the door that would have what she wanted.

Jerk better not be able to lock it.

Usagi made a mad dash and was quick to get into the room, slamming the door behind her. She leaned against it and let out a breath. When she was in the brightly lit room?
]

EEEEE! [She jumped in victory at having made it.] I'll be taking that shoe now. [He wasn't allowed to stop her from that at least.]
iitrebel: (sassybird) (Troll Jesus was obviously not given)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-03-28 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Uuuuuuugh.

[All his best efforts, and she still reaches the shoe? Maybe he should have accepted going next to her just to be a pain in the ass. Impatient, he drums his fingers along the console, ready to slam the button as soon as she's out again.]

[He's not going to let this go easy, come hell or high water.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Don't like it one bit!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-03-28 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
The shoe. Now... please. [She demanded, holding out one hand while the other was on her hip. She wasn't going to waste MORE time in case the security guards could check in here too.] You aren't allowed to hoard it.
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (I feel like the Devil slapped me in)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-03-30 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm not. [Leaning back, he sticks his tongue out at her.] By all means, go get it.

[A lazy gesture to where it's sitting.]

No one said I had to just give it to you.
lightthedarkness: (Usagi)(Luna) (GAAAAAH!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-03-30 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph! [She scowled before she moved to grab the shoe. She never wanted to talk to him after this if she could help it.]

Well, bye. [Such a jerk!

Just as Usagi was heading through the door, shoe in hand when the security were coming through the back door since that was how they had to circle. Her eyes widened and she let out a scream without thinking she grabbed Artolo and bolted, the security running after them.
]

iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (You gotta pick a side. My)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-04-01 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[What he's expecting: For her to wander through the place again, him smashing his hand on a button to try and delay her the whole way.]

[What actually happens: everything suddenly a blur, his feet scrambling beneath him and a pressure around his wrist.]

[Artolo can barely parse out what's happening, and his body simply reacts on instinct. When he finally realizes what's going on, he bursts out into a hyena cackle that would alert the whole building even if they weren't being chased.]


Holy crap, what are you thinking!?
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (WHY YOU LITTLE!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-04-02 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I PANICKED! [She yelled back, able to keep up a break-neck speed, the guards chasing after them but there was such a distance it didn't much matter. Nor did the fact that she was tripping every "laser" as well.]
iitrebel: (sassybird) (I'm drunk with people I love less)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-04-03 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
YEAH, I kinda noticed!

[It's getting hard to laugh with all this running, and, as he's catching his breath, his vision seems to swim for a second. Suddenly, it doesn't seem like the inside of some stupid show challenge level, but grim city streets, and the hand around his is clawed- green and yellow eyes glancing back at him, long wild black hair, those horns- ]

[Panic, drumming up a storm in his heart, and he can hear the blood echoing the frantic beat in his ears.]

[Without really thinking about it, Artolo finds his footing beneath him again and starts to speed up until his long legs help him keep stride with the blonde easily. His gaze, what can be seen of it with the contacts, seems a bit far away.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (I have to reach them!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-04-04 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well maybe if you didn't send them after me every five minutes, I wouldn't be so on edge!

[She was yelling, but he was also a jerk and she didn't care as she kept a hold of him and the show as they ran, getting further and further from the guards even though she was faster than Artolo. But then suddenly, he sped up? Was he trying to help her?

She glanced over to him, wondering what was going on but refusing to lose speed.]
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (I feel like the Devil slapped me in)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-04-06 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Artolo refuses to answer the curious look. Instead, he just shouts back at her.]

Listen, you should be thankful I didn't come with you or else I'd have shoved you into every single dumb laser! Although you seem to be doing just stellar on that front yourself!
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (I'm late I'm late I'm late!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-04-07 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
It sorta doesn't matter about avoiding triggering the security IF THEY'RE CHASING YOU.
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (I feel like the Devil slapped me in)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2016-04-09 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah and GUESS whose fault THAT was! [Another cackle.] You can't blame that one on me!

liarmonstersnappydresser: (ominous)

Bill Cipher and Muraki

[personal profile] liarmonstersnappydresser 2016-03-26 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Initially, Bill had complained when the script cast the Royal as some poor sap waiting to be rescued. EXCUSE HIM, but didn't a position of higher status denote having POWER of some kind? If we was to be a ruler in this story, he better well damn get some respect for it!

"Now THIS is more like it!"

He has since, changed his tune.

Is there an intercom? Oh PLEASE tell him there is an intercom. If Bill is to be in charge of this poor mortal's fate, he wants to be able to interact and taunt him as much as possible. He grins at the screen in the security station. Maybe if this guy proves entertaining enough, he'll cut him some slack.

"Sorry, buddy, but you're in MY GAME NOW~!"

Re: Bill Cipher and Muraki

[personal profile] psyvampexperiment 2016-03-29 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sariel's dark hunter's costume is almost perfect for hiding in the shadows, but he suspects there's night vision on the cameras. Even still, he'll be slinking along the walls, scanning around for anything that looks like a camera.

Sure enough, an intercom clicks on, that voice booming out. He pauses in the shadows, lifting his head under his hood. He chuckles in his throat, then replies, projecting his voice to try and hide its point of origin, "Funny, I thought that it was everyone's game, though I suppose every character in a story, even the villain, views themself as the hero or the protagonist."
liarmonstersnappydresser: (Didja miss me)

[personal profile] liarmonstersnappydresser 2016-03-30 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"AW, but where's the FUN in that, chief?! Heroes wouldn't even be a thing without some good old fashioned villains!"

As if being a hero or protagonist was better than evil overlordship!

"Besides, you ever heard the expression, 'history is decided by the winners'? He whose story is remembered the fondest is the one who invents the truth. Whether I'm a hero or a villain ain't up to ME- it's up to who tells my story!"

This guy is good. Bill nearly laughs when he checks the sound quality of his cameras only to realize this guy is actually throwing his voice. While that hardly impedes Bill's perspective-- really, it's cute to think the guy is putting in this much wasted effort!- Bill supposes it might give a slight advantage over the guardsmen, but he hardly had much hope in them to begin with. Pff if they were anything like the security he had at Virgo, they couldn't follow his instructions to save their life!

His hand hovers over the call button.

"And do you know what type of story audiences like best?"
psyvampexperiment: (Scheming/stroking chin)

[personal profile] psyvampexperiment 2016-03-31 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
A throaty chuckle rustles from the shadows: this Royal fascinates and pleases him, then after a pause, he speaks again, this time his voice coming from a different side of the room. "Mmmm, but every villain or antagonist needs a worthy opponent and vice versa: may there be such opponents in this challenge," he says, with a hint of relish. "And as they say, one man's villain is another man's hero, since every story worth telling has more than one angle to it."

He draws in a breath quietly, doing his best not to give away his position. "If audiences are consistent, they like stories where the heroes get hurt in some way shape or forms. 'Kill your darlings', as one writer put it famously," he replies, sliding along one wall, making himself a moving target.
liarmonstersnappydresser: (HA!)

[personal profile] liarmonstersnappydresser 2016-04-03 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ha! Got it in one, smart guy! I wasn't even going that far, but I'm not complaining. Nothing like a good tragedy to liven up a plot!

You're right, Mr. Macabre-
The most interesting narratives are the ones with a little element called DANGER!"

He pushes the button.

"Guess we'll see if our viewers count you as one of those darlings~"

Don't disappoint him now.
There won't be much warning on how quickly the security team will sweep into the room. Given how the set is decorated like a museum for the purpose of the heist storyline, there should be plenty for Muraki to hide behind, at least.

psyvampexperiment: (Smug fella)

[personal profile] psyvampexperiment 2016-04-04 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Another throaty chuckle, then he replies. "We'll say that I'm not a man who goes by half measures, and I welcome a like-minded soul," he says, his voice taking on a dark note of delight and contained excitement.

Footsteps clatter into the hall and beams from flashlights pan over some of the display cases. Sariel has just enough time to duck behind and beside a suit of armor, posing himself almost in the same pose, in a bid to blend in with his surroundings at least for the moment...

Nia and Sabo

[personal profile] vivelarevolution 2016-03-29 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[all in all it doesn't look too difficult. Sabo kind of wishes he hadn't worn so much blue, but on the other hand, it pays to look good for the camera. He finds one and salutes it in a cocky manner before waiting for the run to begin, absently searching the room for his "rescuee"]

[personal profile] loveconservative 2016-03-29 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Nia is not nearly as mischievous as she could be. Not nearly at all. For all of her plotting to become Ankh's evil apprentice of a sort, she's entirely too naive to be outright cruel.

Besides, after the last couple of months, all she wants to do is do something right. So when she's waiting at the security center, she isn't even thinking of messing this up for Sabo. She's gonna do this right.]
vivelarevolution: (salute)

[personal profile] vivelarevolution 2016-04-01 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's good for him. As invested in this as he is, which is to say, only about eighty percent, he wouldn't look forward to someone who makes it actively harder for him.

At some point he realizes that she's not going to be by his side so he will have to get the slipper on his own. Fine with him. He'll work better without the dead weight.

He cringes a little at the lasers that twine across the obstacle course and sheds his jacket, knowing it'll just get in the way before making his way through them, lithe in a way he didn't even know he could be.

At some point, trying to dodge a security guard, he ducks behind the shadow of a pedestal, noting a security camera and giving it a salute. If he's going to do this might as well give them a show]
