Grand Opening (open)

[Ayen]

A large crowd gathered outside the “All In One Center” studio which had a red ribbon wrapped around it. In-between the entrance of the arena and in front of the crowd was a podium. Several different news crew were on scene, all owned by the same company, holding up their video cameras towards the podium just as their boss Carari Grey, accompanied by David Spense and security guards, came up. Carari taking a step up to stand behind the podium while David and the security stayed by the side. Flashes from the crowd by cameras went off taking photos of the Chairman while every news station in the city began broadcasting live.

“Thank you! Thank you very much! It's a honor and a privilege to stand before you all here today for the grand opening of the All In One Center Studios. Where movies, television, music, and everything you can think of all comes together under one roof. We would like to take this time to thank Mr. Kain and the good people of Kari for making all of this possible. And now, here to tell us about All In One Center first major project, Mr. David Spense.”

Carari stepped to the right of the stage by the podium, leading the applauds as David made his way up to speak to the crowd now standing behind him.

“Thank you! Thank you! I am one lucky boy here today because I have been chosen to direct “The Night Angel” based on the true story of Genesis' most prominent hero and immediately after the ribbon has been cut, casting call sign ins for the role of Amoura can be found inside and one lucky lady will get the role. So without further ado – where's Ms. Grey at – there she is – let's get this ribbon cut!”

Carari and David stepped down from the stage and walked over to the side where they were handed the big scissors, holding it together and posing for more pictures before cutting the ribbon. Not long after the ribbon was cut did all the ladies in the audience rush the entrance of the studios that were pulled open. Carari stepped back and watched as David was nearly trampled on by the girls who wanted their shot to play Amoura and become a movie star.

“You should be more careful,” Carari joked as David came back to stand next to her.

“If I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to kill me.”

“Don't be ridiculous. If I was trying to kill you you'd be dead.”

[Ira]

She had been bouncing between Kari and Isafaro a great deal considering the location of her new temple, it made it easy to travel to these places.

Ira applauded lazily as the ribbon was cut, using the Force itself to guide people around her to prevent herself from being trampled by the crowd of women. She had been hoping for something a bit more entertaining with the size of the crowd. No. Some stupid recording studio instead. Perhaps useful for a public relations issue. But right now, that wasn't the case. Back to trying to find something more interesting to do or things which might be useful for her new home.

[Kragen]

Roy and Rose Campbell were having their first peaceful walk in what felt like centuries across the pavement of Kari, the city they had moved to after fleeing Isafaro. The worry for Meryl still existed in both of them but for now there was nothing they could do, for Rose though another thing continued to haunt her. The lingering guilt of her affair with Drake White. And though Roy was none the wiser to it, he could still sense there was something Rose wasn't telling him.

The two stopped when they saw the crowd, standing behind all the people as they listened to what was being said by the people on stage. Roy hasn't seen this much happiness and excitement in a long time, it was good to see. After the ribbon was cut and the people started flooding the inside Roy started to walk off but turned to find that his wife was no longer present.

"Rose?"

A woman grabbed a pen and wrote down her name across the sheet of paper on the wall, that woman took a step back and smiled at her signature. That woman's name...

Rose Campbell

"I'm going to be a movie star!"

[Mewtwo]

”Hmm…so this is a movie studio?” Luna said to herself as the young witch had left Sazan for the day and was exploring the place. She liked exploring places, one couldn’t know whether they would discover something valuable to them, that was how she found a lot of shops in Diagon Alley that had gone unnoticed by the general population. That habit had now directed her to the opening of the All in One Center studio, she then stayed and watched the opening ceremony before she had to step aside before she got trampled by the rush of females going in, ”I wonder what’s the rush?” Luna wondered to herself as she herself went in. She saw that all of the women were going to an area and seemed to be writing something down, she then heard a woman yell that she was going to be a movie star, ”Oh so she’s going to be a movie star? I wonder if she can make it?” Luna spoke her mind out loud, as she continued to explore the studio despite the large crowd.

[Zira Firestone]

Zira was among the people in the crowd listening to the speech, curious to see what this big announcement was as her eyes spotted the man to come up after Carari was done talking. He was cute and she only half-listened to what he was saying while admiring him, that was until he uttered Amoura's name and had to do a double take.

"Amoura? Who would want to play that old bat?"

The Firebird's answer would come in the form of women trying to trample her for their shot to audition the part of her no fun older sister. She fought her way through the crowd and watched them head inside in shocked.

"People are crazy."

Zira turned to walk away from the studios but the more she thought about it, the more she was coming to be fond of the idea and to top it all off the director was easy on the eyes. And her sister was long overdue for a repackaging, she could make her sexy and cool again. And who doesn't like a sexy young lead? The Firebird entered the studio and found herself fighting through a crowd again to get to the sign in sheet and signed her name.

"Watch out, Hollywood, here I come."

Minako heard about someone opening a multi-purpose studio in town and became excited at the idea of breaking into the movie, TV or even the music business. Joining the crowd of people who had gathered there she listened to Carari speak, then David, squealing at the announcement of a casting call and then running with the others inside the building. Grabbing the pen that hung on the wall by the sign in sheet and writing down her name.

Minako Aiko

Already she could see herself getting the part and becoming rich and famous for it, walking the red carpet and signing autographs with a man on her arm and millions of screaming fans nearby.

She couldn't wait.

[Ira]

"Foolishness," Ira muttered turning away from the studio. She paused for a moment though. This was a a moment to stroke the competitive streaks in people. The fan the flames of their desires. And make these people bend to the instinctive nature to take what they felt to be their's, what they felt they desried over everyone else.

She threw a glance over her shoulder towards the studio. She seemed to react in just the manner in which Zira had; beginning to walka way before turning around and moving towards it. However, Ira's attempt were weaker when it came to pushing in towards the paper. It was not like she cared to actually try to get this position. Her goal was simple - to get as close as she could to people to stroke them with the Force and use it to whisper ever so gently through it. She would use it to twist their minds, put the whispers of doubt and paranoias in ther heads, and encourage elimination of that which could be seen as a threat.

Ira's hand touched the shoulder of one woman, letting the chilling touch of her manipulation of the Force pass from her palm to the first woman, letting it crawl up her arm and touch her mind. Let that seed of doubt take root and the whispering thoughts which invaded the woman's mind grow louder and louder to let the woman believe they were her own. There was a reason, at least to Ira, a Jedi could never ue Mind Tricks to their full potential - they were afraid of doing so.

She continued to push forward, repeating the process with each person she touched to push past them. Her right hand this time touching someone's back, then her left hitting another's side, and again her right touching someone's shoulder. Potentially it put her in the line of fire here, but no matter. She still had means of protecting herself if it came down to that.

April decided to visit the only other city on Jherra that could match Isafaro's in terms of technology to satisfy her curiosity on the city-state. What she didn't expect to find here was a brand new studio holding auditions for major Motion Picture that was going into production. Since her last job had gone under April was at a lost on what to do to make money over in Isafaro and this may very well be her ticket to make a new life for herself in Genesis now that she couldn't go home. Waiting for the crowd to calm down April made her way into the studios and found the sign-in sheet writing down her name with the other signatures and keeping her fingers crossed that her new career will be arriving to her shortly.

[Kyrie]

Another woman approached the sign-in sheet, her hand coming up to the pen hanging by the sheet's place on the wall and taking it into her hand. Bringing the tip of the pen along the line under the last name that was written down and writing down her signature in black ink and put the pen down looking over what she wrote.

Kyrie

The White Mage looked around the halls and then continued down the hallway to the right to explore the rest of the studios.

[Red Queen]

Sherri saw this as the perfect opportunity to do what she loved and made her way to the sign in sheet. She had no idea who this Amoura person was but that wasn't as important to her as getting a Movie Career.

Sherri Magnum

Just signing her name was nerve racking enough but she did it regardless and then took her leave to begin researching this Amoura in time for auditions.

[Ayen]

“Hey! What do you think you're doing?”

The words of David and the serious expression on his face on his way towards Ira would have suggested he knew what she was doing, but that couldn't be farthest away from the truth as he grabbed her by the arm and started dragging her off to one of the recording studios inside the building.

“Space Invaders is this way.”

He entered the room and then let go of Ira for the directors inside to take a look at. The sets were all cheap and made up foreign worlds for the show as everyone were in really bad alien make-up. Ira stuck out as easily the best paint job in the room so everyone thought she was part of a show with a bigger budget but yet here she is.

“Found one!”

He looked to Ira.

“Don't wander off again you hear?”

[Ira]

She reached out once again, this time her chilled hand aimed to take someone by the back of their neck; tempting, it stood out begging her to take it in her hands and threaten to snap it while putting thoughts into their minds. At least, until someone grabbed her arm. At the feeling, an instinctual and inhuman growl came from the woman as he pulled on her. If he would have made the mistake of being too far from others, out of line of sight of them, or just made the mistake of going into a room alone with her, she would have acted on the frustrations on the hungers pulling on her.

Even as he released her, a low and quiet growl could be heard from the Sith Lord.

"What is this foolishness, boy?" She demanded, looking towards David before glancing around to those gathered here and the awful props. Ira wrinkled her nose. She wanted to watch potential mass chaos blossom out there at the sign up sheet. Yet here she was. "You better have a damned good reason for dragging me here."

[Ayen]

"What is this foolishness, boy? You better have a damned good reason for dragging me here."

“A diva are we? Listen, sweet cheeks, if you want to make it anywhere in this business you're gonna have to lose the attitude and start your way from the bottom on up.”

David pointed his finger over to the director in a black suit and tie who was overseeing the project across from the entrance telling Ira who to speak to before leaving the studio and going back out into the hall.

[Ira]

Ira turned around. What kind of business was he talking about exactly? Acting? As if. She had mastered that art well enough with the Jedi of her place. Not even a challenge for her. And the bottom up? Hardly a challenge here. Look at what she had to work with here. Ugh.

She sighed. However, the corners of her lips twitched upwards. This could be useful still. Extremely so for her. Make a show a hit, be the star of it. Get that influence over pathetic little minds...It was perfect. A soft 'heh' came from the togruta. She made her way over towards the director, deciding it best to start talking business with him.

"So, what do we need done here to make this the hit we all want it to be? To get us the big money."


As that conversation began and David left the studio, the whispers had finally taken hold of the women in the crowd. Shrieks ripped through the air as they suddenly realized everyone else there to sign up were threats, dangerous ones too. Their attentions turned to whoever was closest to them, regardless of who or what they were, for all these women knew was that they had to defend their potential stardom. Fists started to swing towards other women, kicks swept some off of their feet and onto the floor to leave them to be potentially trampled. And all the while, yells of determination to secure their future accompanied the violence.

[Ayen]

“Hey! Can we please not damage the equipment while we're killing each other? Is that too much to ask?”

David was ignored and the women continue to fight through the halls, crashing through walls and interrupting the production in other rooms as David turned around with a headache and began to search for help.

“Bloody hell! Where's security!?”

The director looked over to Ira with an “are you serious” glance, removing the glasses from his eyes as he addressed her,

“Don't be ridiculous. This show won't make it pass the pilot.”
