☠ twelve [translated from eldritch]

[disillusionists.livejournal.com]

[ The video opens to a black screen and the dulcet tones of Nic Cage being dramatic before it shakily focuses on a television screen. There's Gerard Butler (with white hair and familiar black headband on) and Rob Lowe (dressed like a familiar magician, sans the fishnets), running and jumping as an explosion occurs behind them. Then, the narration begins: IN A WORLD WITHOUT HOPE, ONE COP DARES TO STAND ABOVE THE LAW -- a flash of Gerard Butler looking bad ass -- ROSE LALONDE. AND TOGETHER WITH HIS BEST FRIEND -- a flash of Rob Lowe and some poorly put together CGI magic -- ZATANNA ZATARA, THEY'LL BOTH SAVE THE CITY.. There's more action and explosions, but nothing really explaining what the movie is about. And, just when they seem like they're going to clue you in, the camera is turned around and you get a view of two unimpressed ladies kicking back on a couch in what appears to be Zatanna's house, to those that may be familiar with it.

there's a dead silence from the two ladies, with the trailer still playing in the background, saying something about a Thanksgiving premiere date. Rose and Zee who are still just sitting there (Rose with a fat cat in her lap), exchange glances. the silence continues.

and then, Rose speaks up. ]

They got my hair wrong.

[ooc: There are a few commercials out now for "AbracaDAMAGE!" a movie made with footage from the battle at Magic*Con. Some include Kristen Stewart as James Bond.]

Jesus, you had to go there. Have you ever heard of a joke?

Only funny ones. So what was that?

Voice

[viced]

Obviously, a bad, awkward attempt at it. My comm thought it was funny.

Trusting electronics for humor approval. That might be the flaw in your design, there.

[viced]

They're a huge audience! Completely untapped, too.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

And yet, still slightly removed from humanity. There might be a comedy miscommunication at hand.

[viced]

Probably. They've got a ringleader of one.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

You would know.

[viced]

You have this way of making me feel so special. [ Sarcasm... ]

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Oh. That gives me tingles.

[viced]

You might want to get that checked out, it could be ca--

Wait. No. Give me a second on this one.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Oh no, did you just really?

[viced]

Until my brain caught up with me I was about to!

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Mitchell. You know why that's distasteful.

[viced]

That's why I stopped! I'm trying to come up with something better.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

But you're taking so long!

[viced]

The anticipation's killing you, isn't it?

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

It certainly puts you on the spot.

[viced]

You know, the more you put me on the spot, the less likely I am to perform!

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

You don't tell your machines that, I bet.

[viced]

Well, no. Machines don't judge. Shit, I think they're just happy someone's around to listen to them.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

So you're most content around desperate company?

[viced]

I didn't say I liked listening to them! Desperate machines are like desperate people, they'll annoy the shit out of you.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Oh. I know.

[IMPLICIT SMIRK AT YOU.]

[viced]

Oh yeah, I'm sure you do.

[ DON'T GO THERE EDDIE... ]
