Video; UN: Bolin! Backdated to 4th Dec | cw character death

[pabugotmoves]

[Greetings denizens of Trench. You remember this guy? What is Tupperware made of, we're doing Rocky Horror, guy? He's back. Only he doesn't look nearly as jazzed as he usually does.

Bolin looks.. tired. Heavy. Dark. His shoulders hang and has he been crying? Shut up, no, you're crying.

(Yes, he has.)

This could have been in text but it just didn't feel right.

So, after a moment of silence and a snuffle he forces himself to business.]


Hello everyone. I um. This is Bolin.

There's no easy way to say this.. Official news from Rocky Horror at The Raccoon Room. One of our cast members, Dean Winchester, has passed away. Out of respect for him and his loved ones I won't go into details but production will be suspended from today until he is back and we are able to resume.

[But there's a look like he's worried that might not happen. Counting on someone to come back from the dead? Risky. His words are a little awkward but he isn't sure how to pose all this information. How do you tell the world your friend has died? Cast and Crew members will have noticed Dean's no show the previous week. With Bolin standing in for Brad and all the clashing between blood types, rehearsals have been... a situation.]

I'll um. I'll be holding a vigil for him outside the club tonight at 7. Our theater family would appreciate it if you came.

.. So.

Thank you.

Why not? What if other people are in danger?

Am I in danger?

[pabugotmoves]

No, from what I understand it was a personal matter with another sleeper. It's being handled but I don't know anything about it.

[the_obedient_servant]

[So... a murder in other words. How very interesting.]

I see... I hope everything turns out okay. Death isn't permanent in this place, is it? So, your friend might come back! Stay DETERMINED!

[Eugh.]

[pabugotmoves]

That's what people keep telling me. I hope it's true. It was in the last place.

There's a vigil tonight if you are available to attend.

[the_obedient_servant]

I don't know about this world, but I do know that belief can translate into reality. Don't lose hope, no matter what, and I'm sure your friend will return to you.

I'll bring some flowers!

[Buttercups... hehehehe. Private twisted joke.]

[pabugotmoves]

That's kind of you, thanks. I know flowers are so hard to get here.

Sorry, I'm not the best company right now. Are you new here?

[the_obedient_servant]

Nobody could reasonably expect you to be.

I only arrived early this month, so I'm still meeting everyone. I'm Chara. It's nice to meet you, Mr Bolin.

[pabugotmoves]

It's nice to meet you too, Chara. I'm sorry it's under such bad circumstances.

Dean is a really great guy, I hope he comes back quick and you get to meet him. He's starring in our show.

[the_obedient_servant]

[Help. They haven't pretended to be nice in so long, will they have to pretend to be nice to Dean too...?]

I look forward to meeting him. It seems this has all caused quite a stir, it'd be nice to have the community put right again. I only just arrived after-all.

What's the show about?

[pabugotmoves]

Yeah, see? You get what I'm talking about.

Okay, WELL so the scene is set on a dark and rainy night ooohhh ahhhhh two beautiful, newly engaged love birds are driving and their Satomobile breaks down. They need help! They're wet! It's raining!

The nearest house is a huge, spooky mansion and they come across a party, hosted by the great Dr. Frankenfurter.

But!! BUT!!! He is a crazy scientist! And he's building the perfect man. Rocky! Our lovers discover his plans and chaos erupts as they're drawn into his madness! And they like it. It's got drama! Adventure! Love, betrayal, aliens from outer space! It's everything.

[the_obedient_servant]

[They have no idea what the fuck Rocky is, they're eleven but...]

...That's a very strange retelling of 'The Modern Prometheus' by Mary Shelley. I can't say I've ever heard of a version with aliens...

[Just say Frankenstein, I'm begging you.]

[pabugotmoves]

[funny you should mention..]

I thought it was a Frank-n-Stein story.

[the_obedient_servant]

You mean Frankenstein? Yes, that's the more commonly accepted name for it.

Is it not a Frankenstein story?

[pabugotmoves]

No it is. I haven't seen that one but I've been told it's the same vibe but sexy.

[the_obedient_servant]

[Chara's not sure if they should say they're a minor or not.]

But sexy...

I see, I see. Did one of you write it or is it a pre-existing play?

[pabugotmoves]

Pre-existing but I have done a little work on it.

I think you'll love it, you should come!

[the_obedient_servant]

I'll have to check with my partner before making any guarantees, but I'll see if we can make it!

[Would they even be allowed. How old are they, even, in legal terms? Can they drink? Drive? Should they have been paying taxes several timeloops ago...? Oh god, society is falling apart.]

[pabugotmoves]

[Good thing God is dead and nothing matters.

Except the like 12+ new gods here oops.]

If you can that would mean a lot. Assuming we can get back on track when Dean is back. I'm sure it'll be fine.
