Geezerville Movie Lots

[katana68]

She opened her mouth to tell that stubborn man that she hadn't agreed to any damn thing when he turned and walked away. stressed Shaking her head, like she seemed to do a lot after taking to Franco, she took a drink of her Bloody Mary.

"Hmph, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and at least read whatever the hell he's talking about. Gawd, why, why do I let him get to me? gonk "  

[Psyzapp]

Excellent. emotion_awesome

Picks up megaphone and flips it on…is squelches loudly and she lowers the volume just a tad.

ALRIGHT, PLACES EVERYONE. CROQUET SCENE WILL BEING SO ON YOUR WAY OUT TO THE COURTYARD IF YOU DON'T HAVE A RED MALLET AND RED BALL GET ONE ON YOUR WAY OUTSIDE. scream

Stands and starts walking toward the double doors. She flings them open and a rush of arctic air fills the enormous room.

PLACES … PLACES… scream She yells as she walks outside. When the cameramen are in place she hands Kyle the megaphone and cues him. xd

ACTION!! scream

Each player was handed a red mallet and red ball before entering the courtyard. As to be a most gracious hostess, she speaks to Miro.

Normally, I would go first. But, I insist our out of town guest has the first shot. whee Outwardly, this was meant to come off as gracious, but really this was a strategic act. She has no idea how to play croquet really. So to have Miro go first, she could observe what she does and most likely pick up on it along the way. ninja

The only reason she wanted to play croquet is she was reading some romantic trashy novel and the characters in this book were playing the game. Not that the game was described in any way at all, but the interaction between the hero and heroine during the game was SOOOOOOO romantic. emotion_kirakira

*blinks a few times and notices she's carrying something. In one hand is a red mallet and the other, a red ball. She doesn't remember acquiring these at any point, and yet there they are. What's more, her outfit has also changed. It's somewhat similar to what she was wearing before, but now red and black instead of blue and white. It also has sleeves and is warmer, which she's quite thankful for, given the freezing cold. However, she doesn't remember changing at any point either. confused Last she remembered, she was stuffing tarts in her bag and being dragged out of the dining room...*

Eh? M-Miro first? gonk

*she looked again at the items in her hands and at the courtyard before them, covered completely in red snow*
Uwaaaah! Why is it red!? gonk Miro's seen red sand before, but not snow!  

[Psyzapp]

Why…yes. 3nodding This is the House of Hearts and the Royal color is ROSSO. heart So …… get on with it waif. You have the honor of teeing off this game.

You wouldn't be so vulgar as to refuse my generosity…… would you. emotion_eyebrow Eyes Miro suspiciously.  

[Naamio]

Someone grabs Franco by the hand and drags him in the direction of wardrobe,
not knowing what was happening he reaches for his pistol but finds someone snatched that too eek .

Who were these nimble fingered, silent cat burglars! gonk
All he can hear is something about he can't wear white if he's the Prince of Hearts.  

[MiroIsBored]

*shakes her head vigorously as Psy gives her the evil eye and steps out in front of the group. However, she has no idea how to play this game! gonk She thinks she might have heard of it in a book or movie or something at some point, but she has no idea how it even works. Not wanting to say anything, she looks around at the others gathered around to see if someone... ANYONE would come to her rescue and tell her what she's supposed to be doing* gonk

Well? Go on! We don't have all day talk2hand  

[Naamio]

Checks himself at ever angle in the mirror cool
Ehhh, yous gots some talents 'ere.  

[Alfonso Giovanni]

Sighs annoyingly. stare Filming is starting and he’s in this scene. He stands and glances at the cops tablet again. Paperwork. He’s doing paperwork. What a putz. Duties call. Later, cop. talk2hand

He heads outside with his red mallet and red ball and it’s ******** freezing outside. stressed There stands the Queen of Diamonds which means the Knave hasn’t done his job and there is no warm winter vacation castle yet!! stressed He puts the red ball in his pocket and drops the mallet to blow his warm breath into his hands for warmth. One of the servants goes to retrieve the King’s mallet and Giovanni takes the ball out of his pocket and tosses it to the lad. And yous gets ta be Ol’ Gio’s caddy. cool  

[ThisEmptySoul]

*once it's called for everyone to get into place, he ignores the Draa clones, figuring he'll get to them some other time, and ducks into a bush near the group, watching and waiting for a good time to stir up some mischief* twisted  

[Kits Rose]

*fixing the Cheshire grin on her face, accepts the ball and mallet as she goes out to the courtyard, though she has no intention of actually playing* cat_biggrin

*watches Miro beg the crowd for help for a moment, then shifts to a closer position and whispers loudly* Put the ball on the ground and hit it with the mallet. *since it seems the others don't know how to play either, it won't matter if she gets it wrong after that* cat_lol  

[MiroIsBored]

Eh?
*looks around, wondering who said that. It sounded like kitty boss lady person, but she didn't see her anywhere, and no one else seemed to have heard it either. It was rather quiet. Shrugging it off, she takes the advice and drops the ball in front of her and it promptly disappears into the blanket of red snow they're trudging through* gonk

*again, not wanting to say anything, she just swings her mallet blindly, stirring up a spray of red snow into the air in the process without seeming to make contact with the ball* sweatdrop  

[Lia_Trovaras]

Almost forgetting her size was supposed to be much different in this movie Anira did a quick shrink spell and had Hauk pick her up to lay on his shoulder while he and Liada followed the rest of the gang out into the field of red and politely waited for their turn. Seeing that the poor girl was having issues. Liada swished her tail to nudge the ball a little towards the first hoop so as not to anger the queen further with her impatience.

Well that was certainly a meager hit. Hare Hauk mentions grudgingly to the crowd. You would think she has the strength of a mouse with that. rolleyes

Yawning beside his face Mouse glances at him through one eye. I resemble that.... emotion_zzz  

[SP-O Wlm Dougherty]

*While looking at various subpoena forms, he notices Gio taking a seat across the table from him and the guy pulls his tablet down flat on the table. With palms up, Will takes his hands away from the tablet so Gio could see what he was working on. No big deal. Though, he did find it rather unusual for Gio to be asking if he wants to play a game of croquet, but before he had a chance to answer, his ex's voice is heard loud and clear over the megaphone. They're ready to start filming the croquet scene. Gio gets up and brushes off his question. Doesn't matter, as Will isn't in this scene anyway.* Whatever ... emotion_eyebrow

*The moment Trina opens the exterior doors, a burst of cold air fills the room. Brrr ... After watching everyone file out the doors and into the courtyard, Will stands up, grabs his tablet and now barely lukewarm coffee, and heads over to the huge fireplace. He takes a seat in a warm, red upholstered wingback chair and gets back to forming a proper Red Letter subpoena.* emo  

[Kits Rose]

*Cecil floats over the castle wall and sees people standing in the courtyard. As he gets closer, he recognizes the dyed blue ears of his mistress* surprised gonk *not wanting to be caught and sent home, he stays out of her line of sight, dropping back behind the group as he watches them* ninja
