If you could be any you, who would you be? [OPEN]

[radiopalkiller]

Who: EVERYBODY!
Where: TV Wonderland
When: June 29th - July 1st
Rating: anything from Teletubbies to Game of Thrones
Summary:
As announced this will be a catch-all post for shorter scenes, commercials, or things you simply don't want to make an entry for.

1. If you want to involve your character in anything and everything, leave a blank comment with them and see what others drag them into! Other characters will respond and set a random scene for the two (or three or seven) of you.


2. If you only have one particular thing in mind then set it up in a comment and wait for replies of anybody who wants to play along with the idea and stumble into that scene in their next response (or mark the thread CLOSED if you already have participants in mind)!

The Story:
Over the course of the event, everyone will be forced to act out various stereotypical roles and common tropes. The setting immediately around them will change randomly into settings from cliche popular media, complete with mediocre side-character NPCs who will never break character. It will become clear very quickly that they are expected to act out a particular role in the scene. They might be expected to be a tough cop, or a handsome sexy doctor, or someone’s evil twin come back from the dead, or any number of terrible tropes – and these tropes do not necessarily have anything to do with who the character is or what they do for a living. They could be the most innocent person and suddenly find themselves forced into the role of a hardened criminal.

Blake is immediately sucked in. At times he gives off noises of protest or small signs that things aren't going the way he's hoping they're going to go, but for the most part, everything just happens and he (for the most part), goes along with it.

As if from nowhere, John kicks up the pink petals of some unseen cherry blossom tree. They engulf him in a thick, obstructive cloud, and when they settle, John is standing at the ready with some kind of practice sword in hand. No doubt, it Vincent looks, he'll find one just the same. Otherwise, they'll be fighting with what they have, and that's suitable enough for a montage, too.

"See you've come," he said, voice carrying over the wind. "Was expectin' this battle was made for today."

my apologies for the delay!

Vincent does indeed find a sword just the same. He rises to his feet, sweeping his cape aside in a dramatic flourish with one arm, scattering petals of his own.

"Or perhaps this day... was made for this battle," he intones in return, sinking into a ready crouch.

Likewise! XD

Oh damn, that felt like a real movie moment, Blake realized. The line was good, the pause was dramatic, and the delivery and execution precise. If ever the veil between non-fiction and fiction were ever thinner, he'd question whether or not he'd gone utterly insane and slipped into some kind of cliche coma dream.

The fight. Right. John stands at the ready, his sword held up in a manner of salute. "Grown wise with the years. S'pose the swords as sharp as the wit?" Hey, Blake was allowed to be impressed, wasn't he? The form looked good, and he feels like he's clearly the proud mentor in this situation, despite the fact that they're sparring as if enemies.

It's a little odd to stand here, facing this man as if he were an old master that Vincent had come to prove himself against, considering that he was fairly certain he was older and that he was not partial to swords, but there was no reason not to roll with it. The other man's form was still more impressive, and for a moment he wonders if he truly his ready...

But no, now was neither the time nor the place for doubts. He smirks instead. "Sharper than when last we parted - sharp enough, now, to defeat you."

And with that, he launches his attack, springing forward.

This was the moment. The test. Blake didn't know their history — perhaps they had none — but he felt as if he was supposed to be here. The fight wasn't unnecessary like some between two people can be, but instead important in testing skills.

His feet moved swiftly in response, the sword coming up in a high arc. He means to defend as long as possible, but his attacks will come soon enough. "Maybe spoke too soon," he said during a parry. "You're confident, but sayin' as much doesn't always keep you lookin' that way."
