rose: be prepared

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

Merely out of curiosity, how is Halloween usually observed here? It seems right up the castle's proverbial alley, and I'm wondering if I should invest in a padlock and armaments ahead of time.

[Said with a bored, drowsy sort of sarcasm. But with the unwelcome gusto with which Paradisa began autumn, and having heard and read of various horrors in past years, she's curious – in a vaguely morbid sort of way.

She dictates this from the roof, where she's sitting on a little purple pillow and working on what seems to be the beginnings of a knitting project. Christmas is still months away, but one never knows what disruptions might happen before then.]

((ooc: open to roof or journal!))

It's okay, I forgive you! I forgot most of it by now anyways. To be completely honest I don't think I really registered most of what I read anyways.

If we make a run for the Dead Zone though, the zombies will probably fall apart and be normal corpses and we'll be safe. ... Which is pretty ironic, considering the name!

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

Yes, that does seem a bit backwards. "The Dead Zone" still sounds uncannily like a bad zombie flick title in my opinion.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

... Now I kind of wish someone had made a zombie movie with that title.

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

It is a script-full of terrible puns waiting to happen.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

This needs to be written now!

I'm already regretting my contribution to the conception of this brain child. John, when I said "bad" I truly meant bad.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

No no, it'll be really good. We can work on it together, Rose. We can make a movie here at Paradisa! Do you think anyone would want to act in it? I mean, if they don't I guess we can cast ourselves as the leads, but I don't really have any acting experience.

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that there are fame-hungry attention hogs in Paradisa just as there are on Earth, dying to be in a movie of dubious quality. Just leave my name out of the credits.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

What? No way! This was partly your idea. But we can always think up a nom de plume for you if you really have to have one.

[Playing along since she knows he will have forgotten all about this in another day or so.]

Fine. But only if you don't take it from the filmography of Nicolas Cage.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

[ He would never!! ... Okay, yeah he probably will. And oh god, she should be happy she can't see how his face is lighting up right now. ]

Tricia Poe! That should be your pen name!

[Facepalming. Facepalming so hard.]

John, are you attempting to drive me to alcoholism? Because that may be the only way to deal with that monstrosity of a name.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

What? No, come on, Rose! It's a great name.

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

If it is such a brilliant name then take it for yourself.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

I can't! I have to be Cameron!

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

... This is rapidly devolving into Con Air LARP. I refuse to be a part of this.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

It's not LARP! It's just putting our names down as them on the film credit, which is completely different.

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

It's still an unfortunate association that I would prefer to keep firmly at a fifty-mile radius from myself.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

You could be Casey Poe instead? That would make even more sense, if you were my daughter in the movie.

[fluthlu.livejournal.com]

[This is no longer a battle worth fighting.]

... Oh, all right.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Yessssss!
