Establishing Shot: A typical board room, of the sort generally used for
press conferences. Across the back, a blue curtain displaying the stylized
logo of Inevitable Outcome Studios -- a large anvil dropping towards an
unknowing stick man. In the center of the room, a lectern with an affixed
mike.
ANNOUNCER
Ladies and gentlemen of the FFML,
the president of Inevitable Outcome
Studios, Mr. C. Richard Davies.
CHRIS walks onto the screen, wearing blue jeans and an open heavy black
trenchcoat. Beneath the trenchcoat is a T-Shirt with a picture of Utena and
Anthy (from Shoujo Kakumei Utena) in a close embrace and the logo "Girl
Power". He steps up to the mike, and takes a deep breath.
CHRIS
Kon'nichiwa. As you're all aware,
I've begun writing the third and
final chapter of the "Together
Again" series, which has recieved
strong support from the FFML from
its first appearance here. What I'm
about to suggest is a way for me to
say, "Thank you" to everyone who's
ever supported my feeble attempts at
mythmaking.
Another deep breath.
CHRIS
"Together Again: Silver Millenium
Chapter" will be a very large, very
broad story, with a large cast. But
there is abundant room within it for
brief, cameo appearances ... and
what I'd like to do is have FFML
members making some of those
appearances.
He adjusts his glasses.
CHRIS
If anyone would like to make a brief
appearance in this story, please
send me a brief description of
yourself -- being as realistic and
honest as possible, please -- and
your choice of one of the following
locations: Thaumobik, an Earth
"trade city"; Tritonis, the capital
of Neptune; among the Jovian army;
among the Martian army; or in the
Royal Court of Queen Serenity.
A quick smile.
CHRIS
I should probably emphasize that
parts of this *are* a war story, and
that there's a fairly good chance
that your "avatar" will get killed
if you choose to appear with either
army. I promise that I won't kill
anyone who volunteers, until *after*
they've given a few lines. <quiet>
Which is a better deal than you'll
get in your average Hong Kong movie,
you gotta admit.
He looks around.
CHRIS
Well, that's pretty much everything
-- the first chapter, which will
definitely include *one* cameo by
an FFMLer, should be out in a month,
if work proceeds apace. Thank you
for your time. Matte ashita!
Chris steps back and walks off.
THE END
What, were you expecting a preview or something? G'wan witcha!
