[open!] it's a hard knock life

Who: Riku and you!
When: 3/31 ic
Where: Various places
What: Come join Riku in an exciting day filled with stunting doubling and mascara mishaps.
Warnings: n/a

a. on the set

[back in the city, back on the set. being a stunt double wouldn't have ever been his first career choice, but it's not a bad one. actually, it's been sort of fun. all it involves is pretending to get shot or drive stuff into other stuff or stuff. if the whole keyblade master thing ever gets old, taking this up as a side gig might not be the worst idea.

somewhere near the pleasure district is where today's filming is taking place. who is he a double for? a premier soap opera star. yup. some long lost cousin who turned out to actually be the twin brother of the husband of-- whatever. riku stopped paying attention halfway through the synopsis. apparently the long lost cousin whatever is getting 'killed' this episode and then dropping in to ruin the wedding of his baby mama to his murderous best friend next one (sorry, spoilers).

riku can be found various places during today's shooting and is dressed in a very snazzy tuxedo, with the itchiest blond wig in the world to go with it.

maybe you catch sight of him at the crew food table munching on a bagel. maybe you saw him get 'shot' atop a tall building and fall off. weirder yet, maybe the falling involved no safety equipment and him vanishing briefly before appearing safely on the ground seconds later. or maybe you're a fan of the show who wants backstage access and thinks the stunt guy might be able to pull some strings for you. good luck with that.]

b. ViViDa

[stunt doubling it up, not bad as it is, lacks too much in the way of effort or real exercise. what he really needs is a work out. only a complete lazy bum would let themselves sit still after that jungle adventure the other day. why not vivid? riku hasn't been back since that fun retro gaming stint. someone mentioned it not being AS glitchy normally so why not? worst comes to worst he ends up eating garbage again. please let that not happen. it took 3 days to get that smell off.

impressive is the first word that comes to mind upon stepping inside.]


They went all out with the place, huh?

[what a shame they couldn't have wasted the money on toning down on the near death experiences. there's definitely a lot to take in, almost too much. observing things a little might make things easier. he'll stand and watch some other people's games. sorry about the audience if someone happens not to like it.]

ViViDb

[watching people doesn't make the level choosing any easier. there's still so many options, even with just fighting stuff. options aren't bad. question is which of these options won't glitch him into a second date with a dumpster?

why not get a second opinion? chatting people up can lead to some interesting information, too, especially with so many different worlds all dragged into one. without much more of a second thought, riku casually approaches whoever's close by.]


So which one of these levels do you like?

c. around the residential district

[stunting falls under the fun job umbrella. testing mascara? not so much. or at all. the job got clicked accidentally upon arrival and the tester kept on spamming him with 'we need you!!' messages at all hours of the day. riku yielded, if only to get the guy off his back. that earned him a nice reward, one in the form of stabbing himself in the eye with a mascara applicator. rewards like this are definitely ones he could do without. how people manage to apply this stuff without losing an eye...

it's this deep philosophical thought that preoccupies his mind on the way back home. riku can be seen walking while grumbling under his breath and blinking his left eye far too much, an eye that's really red. doing so makes him pay way less attention than normal while walking. did he walk into a pole? only once. trip over a bump in the sidewalk? maybe twice. walk into a person? possibly.

oh and maybe he forgot to wash off that mascara, too. whoops. at least his eyelashes look fabulous.]

... That just makes me sound silly, though.

But silly doesn't usually get taken seriously, either.

... Um, and who are you?
immobileyes: (Not sure if want)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2015-12-30 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
