[ Okay guys, he gave you all your space. Multiple days of it, even! The time has come for recompense. In this post, Abed makes a lot of assumptions about people being totally up for volunteering their time and resources, as well as their general interest. ]

This is Abed Nadir. My name should be attached to this entry already but I didn't want to take any chances with technological malfunctions. I'm planning on putting together a documentary about the collective experiences that were experienced in the town of Capers.

That means I'll need any footage, photographs or souvenirs that people are willing to contribute to the project (to be returned once copied and documented). I'll also need anybody willing to subject themselves to a one-on-one interview with me and any camera crew. Questions about your home world or daily life in this city may come up, but you can waive them if you think you need to. I won't be needing title suggestions or a director.

A group of people to put their heads together and come up with a fairly detailed outline of events during the "expedition" would also be useful. I have a good memory but I couldn't be everywhere, and I can only establish so much through the aforementioned interviews.

While I'm here: if any imPort is willing to sign up for a general interview about themselves and their life here, I could use the footage for a potential future project.

Contact me to set up an appointment in the future or reply here.

What sort of experience are you looking for from Capers, precisely?

[ And switching formats to match, because Abed doesn't particularly care how he gets resources as long as he gets them. ]

Any of them. It's safe to say we had a pretty diverse gathering along for the ride, and some pretty diverse alternative career assignments. It's really likely that we've got a veritable smorgasbord of individual points of view at our disposal. And that's without even factoring in everyone's climactic showdowns.

Ah yes, the attack. It seems like most got out alright, though. What a victory.

[ He doesn't sound upbeat about that though. Oswald prefers not to fight if he can help it, and the attacker had hurt the flying dinosaur he'd just bought.

He had priorities. ]

It seemed to be a worthy investment of time, going there, if I do say so myself.

I think creating a documentary is a good idea. [ Also potentially useful as a resource, and it's significantly less strange than trying to make friends while being filmed... ] Are you going to make it available for public use when it's done?

I'd be willing to be interviewed for the documentary or the project. The only 'souvenir' I have from being there is, erm, the outfit I was given, so I'mnot sure how much use that would be to you.

Re: voice;

[coolcubed]

Yeah, it'll be available to the public. This level of coolness can't be kept for a private collection. And you can bring the outfit if you want. We could always put together some still shots of it. If you're not willing to wear it for that, I can always find a mannequin or get the idea across with an illusionary reenactment.

[topslug]

[ She's not so sure "cool" is the right word for it. ]

I don't mind wearing it. So you're a fan of this kind of cowboy stuff, huh?

Sounds like an interesting project.

I take it you enjoyed yourself?

Re: voice

[coolcubed]

Yep. As far as transdimensional side adventures go, it's almost impossible to do better than Jurassic Park meets True Grit. And I don't say that lightly.

[osreborn]

Are you planning on interviewing for any of the other excursions as well?

[video]

[notadartboard]

No.

[ Rejection is always part of the process. It's still a pity. He thinks that eyebrow would be great for TV. ]

Okay. It makes sense that not everyone would have experiences they consider worth publicizing. It still would've been nice to have you for the general interview, but that's your choice.

[notadartboard]

What makes you think any of my experiences are worth sharing? I didn't do much besides look fancy.

[never telling anyone he got his ass kicked by a woman]

[aggressiveapathy]

if you promise to let me put it on the website
the power of city hall photoshop and video editing is behind you

[warning: video may undergo creative editing once in April's hands before it's linked to the PR page for the City]

[coolcubed]

That's probably the most beautiful declaration of potential documentary support I've ever gotten. I can get on board with that, boss.

[aggressiveapathy]

you're gonna go far, kid

[psychomancy]

I think I should like to help with that.

[coolcubed]

Strictly speaking, I think you should too. Which is why I put out this call for volunteers.

I guess I can understand where some more experienced, world-weary people would take that point of view. The path into maturity often means leaving behind the classification of some things as "cool." But that's not my experience personally. I thought a showdown at high noon was classic, even though it's a well-explored cliche in the western genre.

[ecphrasis]

This sounds fantastic, Abed! I'll definitely help.

[coolcubed]

Glad to hear it. This is one of those cases where more actually is merrier. You don't get that a lot.

You can interview me any time, buddy.

[ BIG THUMBS UP. He doesn't have any video from Capers or anything, but he's helping okay? ]

[coolcubed]

[ This is why you're his favorite, bro. Thumbs up right back at you. ]

Thought so. You're my go-to opinion for all city-related documentaries.

[slightlyoffchilt]

An interview?

[You had him at those words.]

For a documentary, about imPorts. [A beat.] And no one has thought of this before, because...?

voice;

[coolcubed]

I don't know. Maybe they have at some point. I've only been around for about four months, so I'm not really well-versed in imPort media history yet.

And yes. An interview.
