yar har fiddle di dee, being a pirate is all right with me

WHO: Tuuri, a bunch of her friends, a bunch of their friends, and so on; this is OPEN TO ALL EXCEPT ELLIOT CRAIG
WHERE: The many parks, public places, and cool filming locations of Recolle
WHEN: September 28 and on for the next week or so!
WHAT: In a truly absurd comedy of errors, Tuuri is making a fake movie ("MAGIC PIRATES," in Finnish) to cover up an unnecessary lie that she told her roommate. This is the making of that movie.
WARNINGS: Idiocy

Considering Tuuri planned this movie in thirty minutes, the setup isn't half-bad. They start out in one of the many parks in Recolle (though Tuuri is ready and willing to move as inspiration dictates), with a legitimate video camera (courtesy of Dave Strider), a pretty nice spread of catered tacos (courtesy of Tuuri and the food truck on the edge of the park), and even managed to dig up a handful of props (courtesy of you?). What they don't have is a complete script, or a plot, or a defined genre, or really anything more than a title, and even that title may be "more metaphorical than literal." Tuuri wrote about a scene and a half last night, and Dave probably wrote another scene and a half, and they're just going to have to cobble together the rest based on however inspiration strikes their actors.

Take the opportunity to act out a scene from your hallucinomemories! Go off-script for the one scene that Tuuri actually wrote! (She wishes you wouldn't, but fine, keep rolling) Show off your brand new Retrospec abilities, or that one acting class you took in high school, or any other entertaining act you can think of to fill the 90 minutes that Tuuri needs to squeeze out by next week for her roommate movie night! Just do Tuuri a favor and stay away from delivering your lines in English, or at least try to make it easy to dub over them.

Or, hey, grab a taco, work the lights, chat with the other cast members. Try to figure out why this is happening in the first place. Maybe teach Tuuri how to check the Retrospec user list. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players who are too polite to point out that this is hands down the most convoluted solution possible to a problem that Tuuri created for herself.

Note: this is truly open to all (except to Elliot, Elliot isn't allowed in this log) even if your character has never spoken to Tuuri before in their life. Feel free to have your characters invite their friends along, crash the film set when they walk by in exchange for a taco, or if you want Tuuri can misfire an invite to join her in this misadventure.

[...so maybe it wasn't so bad to lose this round.]

C, obviously, since more people say R. I cannot believe you also came up with X. Nobody comes up with X.

I believe the records will show I just did come up with X??? You have like ten years to go before you are ready to tango with me on the topic of "how many different ways can you think to answer this one single question".

Good think I plan on sticking around for ten years? Probably, I mean. ...at least four. But just because you can come up with answers does not mean it is the right one? So nice try. You just got lucky this time.

You are definitely going to admit my superiority on this topic once I've done it like twenty times to you. But okay - about this measure, what if it were like, more percussion-y? I'd like to overlay it on the scene where Mafuyu was...here, I'll show you.

[ and probably they talked about the movie and music and we can close this because september ]
