Ok so allow me to introduce the concept for this story to you first and foremost. It is an AU that I, @WorthyGames_Test and @Wolfie05 have together which is the Actors AU. It is basically "Everything that happens in story canon is actually a TV show and all the characters are actors and live in a big mansion together and also one of the directors is dating one of the actors" wheeze- It lends to....a lot of chaos XD But! I took two hours to write this "short drabble" and was convinced to share here so uhhh have this five and a half page "short drabble" wheeze- But I only have so much description space so part 1 of idk -------- It was mid-season filming for everyone at the DumDum Inc. filming studios. Finite Harmony was using studio 1 at the time, Gal’Huria Chronicles in studio 2. And in Studio 3 was the current dumpster fire that is The Games. Across all three filming studios, the directors were each working hard at their respective shows, trying to keep everyone in line and get everything organized. Wy sighed heavily, looking down at their script for today’s episode. If they were quick and everyone stayed focused, they could get this mid-season episode filmed and sent to editing quickly. And yet… They looked up where Ray and Winter were having a very heated debate about how they should react to the news of the Games in show being canceled, each seemingly had a different opinion for how their respective characters should react. Winter was positive that she shouldn’t act surprised at all, her character having known this information, and Ray should act absolutely shocked, the audience assuming she’s never heard this information before. Ray on the other hand thought that Winter should act somewhat surprise to keep up appearances, and she herself should follow suit, her character having actually had this information given to her way beforehand. “I’m telling you, Ray! You have to act shocked! You’ve not received this information before!” Winter huffed, crossing her arms at the shorter pink hognose snake. Ray laughed. “But I do know beforehand! The audience doesn’t know I’m in on it yet!” She laughed. “I’m going to act surprised but not shocked! The audience needs to start guessing that I’m in on everything.” “Bold of you to assume-!” “ENOUGH.” Wy shouted, standing up from their chair, instantly a whole foot taller than Winter, wings flared out. “We are so close to filming for the day, can you two PLEASE just read your scripts and work with them? It already says that Ray will act surprised but not shocked, stick with the script.” They frowned, sitting back down as Winter and Ray both nodded. Ray shot the Changeling a smug look which was returned with a growl before both got into position to continue filming. They didn’t notice a lil bean watching the scene with a frown, paws in her dress pockets. Down the hall in Studio 2, Ori was in the process of dealing with some rather rowdy Daizan as they argued, about...nothing really. Deldemos made a remark and Achradel responded in anger. Enthonia somehow got on Deldemos’ side and Mesmin was trying to steer clear of the situation. Keliir had joined Achradel for stars knows what reason, and it was...a mess. It was a mess, and they were in danger of having the whole set wrecked because all the Daizan were in natural forms and clearly ready to throw hands. “WHY ARE YOU ON HIS SIDE?! DIDN’T YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID ABOUT ME?!” Achradel shouted. Enthonia huffed. “And yet you responded poorly to it. REALLY Achradel, I thought better of you.” Deldemos grinned, looking Quite Smug at the turn of events. Keliir responded by sneering at his father. “guys please can you stop fighting-” Mesmin begged, standing unfortunately between the two sides. Ori stood up from her seat, finished reading over the next set of scenes, and walked over. “That’s quite enough everyone.” She frowned, hands on her hips as she stared everyone down. “Unless you all WANT to look for other jobs? We can easily cast someone else to take your places.” That was about the only way of really getting her message across, threatening everyone’s jobs. Achradel and Enthonia both backed down, looking somewhat guilty. Mesmin shrunk into a lil guilt pile, and Deldemos and Keliir glared off for a few more moments before Ori clearing her throat got them to back off. She didn’t notice the tiny bean watching from the corner, his ears and tail drooping.
Up at the front of the building in Studio 1, Dennis wasn’t having all that much luck dealing with his crew either. It was Finite Harmony filming day, so he had that crew to work with. Why in the heavens he agreed to direct two shows at once he never knew, but he knew that Wy had to do the same so at least he wasn’t alone in that regard. He sighed, watching Zenic taunt Jin-el from the air, with the latter of the two starting to get Quite Annoyed at the situation as Zenic stayed just out of reach of the Naguul. Sylvius was trying quite in vain to get the two to stop, the Alennant being too nervous to use his powers on the two for fear of hurting them. Zenic chuckled, floating a little higher than the Naguul could reach, waving at him teasingly. “Ohh, how cute~ Keep trying, little man! Keep trying! One day you’ll be big and strong enough to reach me~!” He laughed. Jin-el growled, coiling down in preparation to spring up and grab Zenic. Slyvius reached out, patting Jinny’s arm. “Now- Jin-el- What did we say about letting other people get the best of you.” He murmured gently. Jin-el glared at him. “Y’think that’s gonna stop me.” He growled, springing up. Evidently, Zenic wasn’t expecting that and he was quickly caught by the ankles and dragged down by the Naguul, who quickly pinned him to the floor. Zenic squeaked in alarm, trying to get away and he almost did when Dennis walked over and bwapped Jin-el on the head with a paper towel roll. “No, stop. Bad Naguul Titan, we do not devour our co-workers.” He stated firmly. The action earned quite a glare from Jin-el, but the Naguul did eventually release Zenic, letting the other get away and brush himself off, grumbling about the indignity of it all. Dennis just..sighed. “C’mon, back to work. We really need to film this next scene. Pine! Masel! Come get your scripts, you need to be prepping.” He shouted, walking off and letting Sylvius consol Jinny. None of them noticed the smol bean watch everyone through wide green eyes, chewing on his finger nervously. He scampered off, an idea forming in his mind. “Justice! Zodiac!” It was lunchtime, everyone across all the studios were on break to get food. Many people were in the large courtyard eating various lunches. Justice, Zodiac and Venive always ate together. Justice looked up as Venive ran over, her tail thumping on the ground happily. Zodiac followed suit as both of them waved excitedly. “Hi Venive!!” Justice beamed. “HI VENIFE-” Zodiac squeaked excitedly through a mouthful of food. Venive just shook his head and knelt down next to the two. “Hi-- Look over there-” He murmured softly, pointing at where the directors were sitting. Wy was clearly trying to not cry, Dennis was half asleep and Ori was stressed out of her mind. The kids all frowned, looking at the scene then looking around, quickly realizing no one else noticed. “They look awful..” Justice murmured sadly, nomming on her salad. Zodiac nodded in agreement, taking a large bite of his sandwich. “I wish we could do something to help them-” “Yeah-- Everyone keeps fighting and i.. I think it’s making them upset.” Zodiac frowned. “Mr. Deldemos, Mr. Achradel, Mr. Mesmin, Mr. Keliir and Ms. Enthonia were all fighting earlier. “Yeah- And Mama and Missus Ray were fighting too.” Justice chimed in. “And I saw Mr. Zenic and Mr. Jin-el fighting as well, and Mr. Sylvius was trying to stop them.” Venive confirmed. Zodiac frowned. “What can we do then?” At this, Venive grinned. “I had a great idea, wanna hear it?” The two canines nodded excitedly, leaning in close as Venive whispered his plans to them. All three grinned, and nodded, quickly packing up their lunches to finish later. They needed to do this fast if they wanted to get it done in time! -------- part 2 ; https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/437505211/
