Geezerville Movie Lots

[SP-O Wlm Dougherty]

*Hears a commotion down the Grand Hallway, and sees several crew members and extras scrambling, last minute readying for the filming to finally resume. Will heads down the long hallway, pausing at a mirror for a moment to check over his Red Knight costume. and carefully smooths down a few stray fake stache hairs in the process. With everything appearing to be in order, he continues on and joins a small group hanging around just outside of the double doors to the dining room.

Watching the scene play out, he finds himself somewhat startled almost every single time the Red Queen slaps the riding crop and speaks out with vehemence. The acoustics in this castle are perfect for conveying her power, as well as for orchestrated music. Will stands there, looking around and patiently waiting on his cue, of which is right after Miro joins the 2 Royalties for dessert. Unfortunately, it appears that Miro has not arrived as of yet.* ninja

Hearing Psy call action, she grabbed Miro by the arm again and led her over to her "carriage" Reaching up to open the door, she turned and scowled at Miro.

"Get in, we're heading to see the Red Queen now! I'll have that knight's head on a pike before this day is done!"

Miro gave her a confused look, and she remembered that this girl has most likely had never ridden in a 4x4 truck. stressed She tapped just under the door with her boot and a step ladder automatically came down to assist the vertically challenged. She made sure Miro had made it inside before going around to get into the driver's seat.

"Hang on, and I suggest you buckle up too!" She pulled the seat belt across her and fastened it as she turned the key in the ignition. Punching the gas, she spun out, spraying gravel and roared towards Castello Rosso.  

[katana68]

Soon they arrived at the front of Castello Rosso and she screeched to a halt near the staircase leading up to the main doors. Leaning over, she unbuckled Miro's seat belt and then she hopped out, tossing the keys to a nearby guard.

"Go polish this up for me, and don't scratch it! scream "

She yanked open the passenger door and half pulled Miro out of the truck.

"Let's go, and remember, you're my witness! You saw that pitiful excuse of a knight enter my castle without permission and without even showing the proper respect due me as QUEEN!!!"

She escorted Miro up the stairs and rang the bell, breathing deep to calm herself before hopefully having an audience with the Red Queen.  

[MiroIsBored]

*given the Queen of Diamond's temper, Miro thinks it best not to say anything or object as she gets pulled and tossed around. Better that than executed eek But once they're stationary, standing outside the noticeably larger red castle, Miro takes a moment to glance back at the monster truck they arrived in, then over at kat, speaking up with a measure of reluctance.*

Are you sure we didn't run them over on the way here? sweatdrop Miro doesn't remember seeing them on the road.... or there being a road to begin with... but they could have been hard to see with how tall the carriage was and all sweatdrop

*once again eyes the truck as it pulls away, looking for evidence of a squished Tes*

Also also! Aren't you cold? gonk
*rubs her exposed shoulders to try to warm them. The climate at this red castle was so much different than the other red castle*  

[Psyzapp]

As the two ladies stand outside on the steps in the cold, a small ornate peek slot slides open and behind it a glowing red eye appears. A little bit of smoke escapes from the small opening as the red glowing eye moves back and forth, up and down. The small metal opening closes abruptly and the large crimson doors start to creek open slowly exposing the black and white tiled marble flooring of the entry and the red damask wall covering. Candle sconces flicker all down the corridor and the coffered ceiling has red jeweled chandeliers hanging down the expansive space one after the other.

Out from behind the door, a black hoof stomps in front of the entry and then another. The two ladies find themselves face to face with one of the beastly red guards. The beast snorts and smoke emits from its nostrils. Red eyes glowing crimson staring at them. Dressed in the same armor as the others, its stands very tall and crosses his large arms over its muscular broad chest…so massive it fills the entry as glowing red eyes peer down examining the ladies.

It then leans down and speaks in a very low demonic tone. Whoooooo wissssshhhes entrance to Casssssstello Rossssssssso? twisted The beast sniffs them both. First the Queen of Diamonds and then Miro. Aaaaaaaah Missssssss Katana. Enter at your ooooown risssssssssk. twisted The beast slowly steps aside and holds the door for the ladies, but carefully eyes the blonde small one. twisted  

[MiroIsBored]

*hides behind Kat when the scary looking doorman answers, though her hopes of not being noticed are dashed as the creature seems to pay extra attention to her gonk If she weren't so sure that she was unlikely to outrun it, she might have tried to make a break for it right then and there rather than sticking around. Whatever she was dragged here for wasn't worth it if there were going to be monsters roaming around looking to make a meal out of her crying But there was nothing she could do about it now except trust that the Queen of Diamonds wouldn't allow her to be eaten... yet. emo Who's to say if that would still hold true after she fulfilled her purpose as witness.

Miro was, at least, thankful to be out of the cold. The weather had been rather temperate through the rest of her journey, so the snow and freezing temperatures were a shock to the system, and her lack of sleeves certainly didn't help matters.

She tried to stay to the side of Katana as they made their way down the hallway so that there was a buffer between her and the beast that answered the door. Though, with how much he towered over the both of them, even with the Queen of Diamond's apparent battle experience, she's not sure it would help much if the doorman did try to get at her suddenly.*  

[Ryzan Vixtul]

Your coffee, Mr. Vixtul.
*for once, he's actually overjoyed to see Misa*
Oh, thank the goddess...
*reaches desperately for the cup offered to him and takes a careful sip. He has no idea where either she or Jeremy were getting the stuff, but she was clearly more discerning than the intern*

Here I thought my dear m'ranndii had been starting way too early. Jabbress certainly wastes no time sweatdrop

Speaking of, where -is- Mr. Tes? Shouldn't he be directing?
*is far too tired and distracted with keeping Miro immersed to get angry at the assistant for being so interested in his husband*
Indisposed.
*takes another careful sip. At least with there being an actual castle being filmed in now, there was less work to do to limit and embellish the cleric's perception. All he needed to do was hide the cameramen and boom operators, who were already trying to keep out of the way as it was*
Wouldn't that make -you- director then?
Perhaps in a normal situation, rilu'oh this woman... *gestures to Psy on the screen provided for onlookers to observe the filming from a side room* ... is the one funding this whole project. If she wants to direct, I am not going to be the one to try to argue. It never goes well for Quortek when he argues with her... not that it ever stops him stare Besides, I wouldn't know what to do, anyway. It is really for the best this way... except for the horrendously early start, of course stressed
*takes another sip of his coffee*  

[Alfonso Giovanni]

The beast follows the two ladies down to long corridor to ensure they don’t go snooping where they don’t belong. Once the ladies reach the entrance to the Grand Room the beast quicken his pace and his hooves make a louder stomping noise on the tile. He reaches the Queen of Diamonds and the small blonde girl and the beast again leans down to sniff them. He gets extra close to Miro and those piercing red eyes scan her figure so her scent will lock onto a visual. twisted The creature stands and opens the door for the ladies and exhales a quick burst of smoke from its nostrils upon the two ladies before announcing them. twisted

Her Highnesssssss, the Queen of Diiiiiaaaaamonds and……… confused the beast takes pause …… her lady in waaaaaiiiiting. twisted  

[Psyzapp]

Thrilled Katana is here, she stands and makes her way over to the Queen of Diamonds to greet her with the customary Italian style greeting of a brief hug and a kiss upon each side of the face. Kat! How ARE you, darling. You’re just in time for tarts! 4laugh  

[Alfonso Giovanni]

The King drags the palm of his hand down his face. stare If the Queen of Diamonds is here, it means the friggin Knave of Hearts didn’t get the job done. stare The Queen of Diamonds territory is the South and her castle would be PERFECT for a little vacation get away. A little “winter home” for he and his lovely bride so he doesn’t have to endure peak cold season. stressed They could just go down there for a few months out of the year. Is that SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!!! stressed

He decides he had better sit in close proximity to he can try to get any info on the situation and possibly find out where the Knave ******** this up. stressed stare He takes a seat at her end of the table and orders someone nearby to get him a ******** Bourbon. stressed  

[MiroIsBored]

*flails as the doorman gets uncomfortably close and once again wants nothing more than to run away crying , but then tarts are mentioned* ninja
Tarts for Miro? ninja

*looks past the women in front of her and eyes the table*  

[Psyzapp]

The Queen turns her attention to the young blonde girl who’s accompanied Kat. She raises her head slightly as well as one eyebrow and motions with her riding crop to the girl. emotion_eyebrow Interesting ensemble your waif is wearing, Kat. emotion_eyebrow Practically sneers at the sight the disheveled girl. Clearly she could use some time at finishing school. rolleyes

You there……girl. Narrows her eyes. You do realize in casa di colore rosso there is a dress code and edicate. emotion_eyebrow  

[MiroIsBored]

Casa di wha...? confused Miro never learned that tongue surprised

*takes a second look at the woman addressing her. She was the one person so far that didn't look familiar to her, aside from the monsters of course, but the language she spoke and the sound of her voice was familiar. After a more careful look at her facial features, it clicked and she pointed at her suddenly*

Oh! Oh! You're the dark mistress lady person that boughted Miro's house! Isn't your hair usually black? confused Miro thought red hair was this lady person's thing.
*gestures to the Queen of Diamonds*  

[Psyzapp]

stressed Grows impatient with the girl and turns to scan the room. WHERE IS RYZAN?! scream I’ve asked for him and I STILL DO NOT SEE HIM!! Just WHAT is wrong with everyone today? stressed Hmmmmmmmm?!! The room once again goes silent as the Queen starts to slowly walk along side the long table while tapping her riding crop on one of her palms as she speaks. Since NOBODY had the insight…even though I explicitly expressed my wishes earlier…to actually get off their ASSES to go and FETCH Ryzan, you are either all intoxicated OR maybe you all have just gotten lazy. evil Suddenly turns and rushes right over to Miro and gets right in her face and shreiks. AS LAZY AS THIS MANNERLESS CHILD WHO SPEAKS OF TREATS BEFORE BOWING BEFORE THE RULER OF WONDERLAND!! scream evil

The King stands and whips out his pistols. twisted Someone is gonna get whacked.

At least 20 people flee the room and start to call out for the Dutchess to locate him. eek gonk And the beast at the door snorts and stomps right behind the blonde girl so he can grab her if the Queen desires. twisted  

[SP-O Wlm Dougherty]

*Will takes a couple of steps back, totally overwhelmed by the size of the beast introducing Kat and Miro to the Red Queen. eek Man, he is sooo glad that he didn't run into this monstrosity when he got turned around downstairs in the dark dungeons! sweatdrop Though given that he's on the "Red Team" in this film, he is most likely expected to work alongside these beastly red guards. ninja

But now that Miro has finally arrived, it is his cue to be prepared for his Red Knight character to take part. He watches as the foreboding scene escalates before him, and instinctively, he reaches for his gun. It is then that he realizes that the only weapon he has on him is his character's sword stressed which won't be very effective against that massive beast and Gio's guns, -should- it ever come down to that. Taking a deep breath and readying to step into the Grand Room, he suddenly makes a split second decision to ... just - wait - it - out ... before he makes his entrance.* ninja
