☆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.”

Bill Cipher and Muraki

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~!"

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."

"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?"

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!)

"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.

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...
