thethespian Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 RIING!! RIING!!! RIING!!! RIING!! Sky reached over to his bedside table and turned off his alarm. Although Sky had set his alarm to wake him up at 7:30, he didn't need it. He had been awake all night thinking of what was to come later that morning. His audition for this independent film. Of course Sky was extremely mad at himself for staying up all night, this meant less energy to try and impress the judges. Ah well, he had done what he had done, and he had to live with it. Sky got up, went to take a shower and got dressed in the most casual/formal thing he could find. He then went to his mirror and took the hair gel from off of a shelf. He put his hair up so it flipped up in the front and went out to his car. Sky drove his blue "mercury messenger concept" through the city until he got to the place where the auditions were being held. It was a pretty small building with many windows in every place you could look. Sky got out of his car, took a deep breath and walked inside the building. There were many people there already. Most people were keeping to themselves being quiet, or messing with their attire. There were a few, however, that were standing up talking and laughing with people. Sky walked over to a string of people in front of a desk. The line slowly waned down until Sky was in front and the receptionist asked, ?Name?? ?Sky Mortin?, replied Sky ?Do you have a comp card??, asked the receptionist. ?Yes?, Sky replied, handing the receptionist a glossy paper with two photos of him on the front, and a bio of him as well as past experiences on the back. ?Thank you.?, the receptionist mumbled. She then got out a piece of paper and told Sky that he needed to fill it out. He was given a number and the paper, and he set out to go fill it out. Once he was done, he sat down on a chair in the hall. People started to disappear through a door at the far end of the room and come back either smiling broadly, on the verge of tears, or with worried faces. No one had come into the building after Sky, meaning that he would be the last one. So he sat there for six hours, playing around with his outfit, fixing his hair, and practicing his monologue that he had prepared. Luckily, there was a vending machine in the building so Sky didn?t have to starve. He hadn?t had breakfast. Finally, the moment arrived. ?Sky Mortin? called a voice from the room everybody had been going into. Sky got up took another huge breath, and went into the room to find two male judges and one female judge. Sky: Hello Male Judge 1: Hello, are you Sky? Sky: Yes, I am. Male Judge 1: Alright, My name is Scott Braythen, that is David Selta, and that over there is Mary Vorten. Mary Vorten: What have you prepared for us today? Sky: I?ve prepared a dramatic monologue entitled ?Roses are Red? David Selta: Alright then, get to it. Sky performs his monologue beautifully with smiles from both Mary and Scott and much whispering between the three of them. Scott: Wonderful! But, what else have you got? Can you do something comedic? Sky: Of course. Let me just think of one to do. And this was the truth, Sky had learned many monologues in his day and he performed a comedic one with as much talent as the dramatic one. Scott: Thank you very much Sky. We?ll contact you in two weeks. David: If you make the cut. Sky: Thank you for your time. Sky hurried out of the room and started to pack his things up when Scott came out of the room again. Scott: Sky! Listen for a second. I just want you to know that you were the best we?ve seen today. You?re definitely going to get the role. David wasn?t?. well, to say the least, he wasn?t very fond of you, but don?t worry, I have the most influence of this production, for I am the director, and main caster. Sky: Wow!! Thank you very much. Scott: Well, good bye now. See you in a couple weeks! Sky: Bye! And with that Sky walked out of the building with a broad smile on his face. He felt like that happiest man in the world. This, of course, was before the thing happened that would make Sky go on an adventure he had never dreamed of. But, that was the next day. OOC: for your first post, don't automatically go into the people getting attacked. Use the first one as sort of an intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 OOC: In the signup, I said at the last minute that I was just going to be a ghost, but I'll still start with Mori being alive. IC: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [color=sky blue]Mori walked down the streets of Miami with her mother, happy that they were going to go to the movies that day. It was a dark October night, and people were running around, giggling. One group of boys bassed by with mischievous looks on their faces. "Where are you going?" one of them asked. "To the movies," Mori's mom answered. "How about you?" she asked. "Oh, we just passed by the cemetary. It's on the way to the movie theater. You know, you really shouldn't pass by there. It'll give you the creeps, especially when it's nearing Halloween. I heard something bad's gonna happen that day, but we don't believe that, right?" "Right," the other two boys declared. Mom nodded, but Mori put her hand on her shoulder and shook her head. "I know that something will happen," she said. Then she whispered into the boy's ear, "I passed by here before, and I heard a ...voice... talking to me. It said something about a gathering, something about a group of lonely ghosts... I'm not a psychic or anything, I just know. And don't tell my mom, OK?" The boys nodded in agreement. When Mori and her mom got to the movie theater, the place was dark and deserted. Mom gasped in fear, muttering something like "cemetary's not cursed..." under her breath. "I don't believe in ghosts," she mumbled. "Or ghost stories. And I DEFINITELY don't believe in curses." "Nooooo, Mom," Mori thought. "There IS such a thing as ghosts, and I'm going to prove it one day." Then, out loud, she said, "Well it looks like this is our unlucky day. Come on, let's go home. If we're all going to die or something, we still have a week to enjoy our lives." Mom cast her a dirty look, and Mori looked away from her. Was her prediction right? Was there something funny about the 31st of October that made Mori and the three boys worried?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 [color=Darkred] Percy woke with a start. Where was he, what was doing. His mind became less cloudy he realised were he was. He was in his room, infront of his computer. Since hsi mother died he kept collapsing at the most inopertune like in the lecture hall at college, in the train on the way home. It was because of this that he wasn't allowed to drive a car for fear of falling asleep at the wheel. Percy looked at the clock next to his computer, which read 8: 45am. After a short time he realised that he had a lecture due to start in 15 mins. Percy hurried to get out the door. As percy normally did he checked his pockets to make sure he had his keys to get back inside when he returned but as he tapped his pockets a draft blew the door closed behind him. At the exact same moment he realised that he didn't infact have his keys, meaning that he was locked outside his apartment. He had no time to worry about that now Percy had a lecture to get to and if he didn't start attending more lectures soon he would flunk his college degree. When he got to the train station Percy saw the train he had to catch leaving the station he ran on his short stubby legs in an attempt to get to the platform before the train disapeared in to the black abyss know as the subway network. It didn't seem to be Percys day because by the time he got to the college he found the lecture hall completly empty. He decided to head home as there was nothing for him to do at college. The fact that his life blood the computer beckoned him had nothing to do with it at all. The challenge for Percy when he got back home was another story. he managed to get into his appartment by jimmying a window open and crawling through it.
