Okay so like musclesaurus over her was turning out to be a real dbag. Like, now her costar was interested in her after she summoned a nifty looking sword prop. No cap though, the sword was pretty cool but she was not going to let this guy see it. Not while the cameras were running anyways. They would have words after this. That is of course if he landed the job. With the way things were going it didn’t seem likely. After all, they really didn’t have any chemistry. Body? Fit the movie aesthetic. Acting skills? Mediocre. Personality? Trash. She really was hoping for a different leading man.

“Oh, thanks…” Chiyo responded to the comment about not crashing the motorcycle. And not dying. Like really, who says that? Improv is one thing but that was clearly an out of character question she had asked the producers. A roll of her eyes would be stifled as much as she could as there was yet still no answer from the crew. She understood that improv and method acting was a thing but a little bit of direction would be appreciated. Like, was it really that hard?

With no answer she swung her leg over the bike and shifted to the side. “So…like this? I have never been on a motorcycle before. Well, actually, I haven’t driven one. Trevor, from high school, had one. It was some beat up piece of junk. He thought he was soooo cool. I think a Kowanaki? Or was it a Donda? Smarley? Doesn’t matter. I will try.” Remembering back to the one date that Trevor took her out on Chiyo grabbed both handles of the bike. She could feel all of the weight rocking back and forth as she looked down.

Couldn’t be too different from driving a car, right? Just two wheels opposed to four. No cute dangling bits to hang from the makeup mirror. No makeup mirror to check at all the red lights. No stereo for Apple Music. Okay, there was like zero upsides to riding this motorcycle at the moment. Before she knew it Mr. Soldier had taken off as the engine whined and rubber burned against the ground. “Rude…okay…nice and easy…cute girls hit curbs…cute girls hit CURBS!” The bike took off like a bat out of hell. Her terrified scream muffled by the sound of the rushing air whipping past her perfectly placed hair. When Mr. Soldier took a glance back, he would see Chiyo following, than gaining and possibly even rocketing past him as her scream may have reached his ear. The poor girl’s motorcycle was only accelerating towards what was possibly their first threat of the movie shoot.

The man’s bristling attitude billowed off of his frame. Chiyo studied his style and all of the mannerisms as best she could. ‘He is definitely trying for that dark and broody character. Bad boy. Some rom coms feature those and then he softens at the end. It could work. Don’t know if that is what the producers are going to be after those.’ Shuffling her clothing a little she straightened up and attempted to match his energy. “Nor I! To be consigned to a t-shirt in a mall store is a fate worse than death!” She proudly exclaimed. “Though the not saving me from Starbucks is a bit harsh…meanie…” she whispered to herself.

As her costar continued on with his lines he structure a fierce tone. It would be hard to match but she thought she could be up for the task. “Yes, I agree. They certainly must’ve stolen us from our homes and beds in the middle of the night. The fiends! We will have to work together in order to escape this trap! Or else we will be like…really dead.” Each word dramatized and attempting to meet the man’s energy. She was not going to be outshined by the brood over here. Like, as costars you are supposed to make each other shine, not put each other down. Did he not understand that? Amateur.

“Chimera Soldier, it is nice to meet you. I am Glamazon. The most glamorous of all of the Amazon workers that work at the warehouse.” Hands on her hips she would strike a pose. Two could play at the spotlight stealing game. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Mr. Soldier pull up what looked like a script on one of those fancy screens. “Um…how did you…” Verbal commands didn’t work. Maybe jumping jacks? A twirl? A fierce pose? All of these attempts were performed in from of him before out of frustration Chiyo’s hand snapped to towards the ground forcing the shiny blue menu to appear out of thin air. Realizing what she did she stood up, straightened her clothing and began to scroll through the menu.

“So, this is what the background to the character is…” Swords? Bows? Shields? She really was auditioning for one of those nerd movies. She was going to be typecast so hard after this T_T. That said the mention of a fierce woman was spot on. The studio must have seen her videos and made the correct assumption. However, the one thing that was interesting was that is mentioned her charm bracelet. Looking down at the tacky present that her father had given her all those years ago, she couldn’t believe that this would be central to the role that she was being cast for. As she thought about all of the memories, without intention a sword sprung to her hand, causing her eyes to go wide.

“O. M. G. This movie has the biggest budget I have ever seen!” Shock plastered on her face. Looking over to Mr. Soldier. “I did it cuz I wanted to…not cuz you told me.” She offered with a protruded tongue. Had to stay in character for the casting directors. But frankly the man was already moving onto the next thing and ignoring her. Rude. Once again, a command to search for that rod thing came from him. It elicited a roll of Chiyo’s eyes as she tried once more to find this menu thing. Only when she did and plucked the rod from the options. “Yeah. I got one too.” Turning it sideways as Mr. Soldier did a motorcycle formed in the space around her just as it had for him.

“Ummm…so…I should probs disclose that it took me like five tries to get my license…” She trailed off. “Is there like a waiver the studio wants me to sign before we continue?” With no answer coming she would search all around her before turning to Mr. Soldier. “What? Cute girls hit curbs.”

With the option selected Chiyo waited for the script to be given to her. Was a set assistant going to run out and give it to her? Since they had the budget maybe they were just going to send it to her digitally via her phone. Speaking of which, her hands began to pat all over her body. “I just need my phone…where is my phone?” She began to question as she continued to feel around. Maybe the crew had taken it from her when she arrived on set and she didn’t know? That had to be it. There was no other reason that her phone would have been anywhere but with her.

“Huh? Do you mean like screen test?” She called out into the ether. Tutorial was a weird way of describe a casting call. Wait, was she sucked into one of those ‘weird’ casting calls? It would track with all of the nerd stuff that was currently surrounding her. Well, if it was, they were going to face some tough talk from her lawyers and the police! She wasn’t even of age yet! Those deviants! When a script continued to fail to appear Chiyo would start to pace back and forth.

“Helllllooooo? Would someone be able to get me my script please? I had selected Glamazon, the RomCom movie pitch. Totes ready to show off for you guys!” She called out as she began to pace back and forth. She didn’t want to let the producers and the casting directors down just because she didn’t have a script in front of her to work with. So while she wait she began to roll through her vocal exercises, knocking her head back and forth. She wanted to be ready to go as soon as the lines were provided to her. What happened next was not what she was expecting.

Surging forward out of the seeming nothingness was this robotic moving, really buff looking guy. Her first reaction? Let out a yip of surprise as he appeared. When he asked her about whether or not she was seeing all of this she wasn’t quite sure how to react. "So, like, are you my co star here? I mean...you are tall and kinda strong so like maybe you could be that guy that saves me when we meet at Starbucks. But, like, we're going to have to work on your look before the movie comes out, mkay? Like this whole Mr. Roboto looking set is a bit weird. Like it looks like we are going to be in some sort of sci-fi thingamabob like some kind Damgun or Big Q looking thing... I. D. K. A role like that can land you look like you could be found on a shirt in Hot Topic. Super typecasting after that. Mega ick.”

Words shrill to the ear Chiyo straightened up, rolled her neck and cleared her throat. “But a professional must push on!” Closing her eyes again she focused herself. The directors must be looking for her to improv with this guy for a chemistry test. “Yeah! I am seeing it too! It is so strange. Where do you think we are? And what is this maze they are talking about?” Each syllable saturated in overacting to the nth degree. “Perhaps…it is a maze to our hearts…” Trailing off for some sort of dramatic moment.

Her fingers fidgets with the phone. ‘No that’s not the right angle. No that’s not it either.’ Fastidious by nature when it came to this stuff, Chiyo kept at it. Refusing to accept anything less than perfect. After all, her fans couldn’t be beset by something that wasn’t the best that she could muster. Fluffing her hair so that her lovely locks bounced down around her shoulders was paired with a practiced pose of her face. Finally, there it was.

Click

The image was uploaded to her varying social media platforms in an instant. The room hung in silence as her eyes studied the screen in her grasp. Waiting for that hit, that fix that she had been craving over the last couple of hours. It would take just a moment more as she watched the notifications on her phone start to ring up at the top of her screen. One after another. Each one bringing a surge of dopamine that lifted her mood ever higher until it soared amongst the clouds.

Tossing her phone off to the side Chiyo darted to her computer chair. Mouse clicking away she brought up her recording program. Her image appeared on her monitor and once again she began to preen herself as she warmed up. This was going to be a special video today. Today she was going to announce a new partnership with a sponsor. It wasn’t anything too spectacular but it was her first sponsorship deal since she graduated high school and in the run up to attending college, a must dictated by her father, it felt like a new beginning.

Once prepped again she hit record and it all began. “Hey guys! I am suuuuper excited to make this video today. I know I have been teasing y’all over the last couple weeks with an announcement. And I am uber excited to say that it is finally time!” Her voice ringing with that peppy excitement that she had grown to be known for. “So, like, these guys had approached me a couple months back. And we were doing some talking annnnnd like now we got a deal! Soooooooo without further ado, my newest super bestie is…” Her voice trailed off as a bright light beamed through her window, bathing everything in light. “Huh?”

Moments later the entire building began to shake. The knickknacks on the wall began to dislodge and tumble to the ground. An earthquake? Now?! But she was just about to record her announcement video! The entire house threatened to tumble to the ground in a heap when the blinding light fully consumed everything before it all went black.

[earth-to-chiyo]

“You’re like totally gonna fit right in.”

The words hung in the air as Chiyo felt herself curled up in a ball with her hands still grasped at the top of her head. When nothing else came to her, Chiyo stole a glimpse of what the state of her house was in with just a smidge of her right eye. Both eyes snapped open as she found herself in a hellscape of metallic surfaces, cool neon lights and not a soul in sight. She simply stood there as she took it all in. Not a word to say until finally her mouth reconnected with her brain.

“Ewww. Is this like some kind of fantasy from one of the AV club nerds? What is it called…Dragons and Dungeons or Trek Wars?” Pausing she looked all around her. “Or am I being memed on right now? Dad, you can come out! This isn’t funny!” She said stomping her foot repeatedly on the ground. She stopped suddenly, “Wait…is this like some kind of audition for a movie? O. M. G. Sorry, sorry! I like didn’t realize where I was. I hope I didn’t ruin your shot.” She called out with not a soul responding to her.

A blue screen appeared out of thin air. “Wooooah. Movies really can do a lot when you have the budget it for it…” She peaked around the corner of the screen and then back at it again. There was a simple question.

“CHOOSE A CLASS”

[] Charm Hunter

[] Glamazon

[] Dutchess

“Huh…” Chiyo stared at the options. “Is this, like, the part that I will receive a script for?” Turning back to her options they were certainly different. The first one was a hard pass, hunting sounded like it would be a lot of work and that meant there was going to be sweat. Ew. The last option sounded like the title of what Kate and Meghan Markle had over in Britain. But it wasn’t princess, so maybe that would be her fallback role. The final option was that of Glamazon. She wasn’t really sure what it meant but it looked like it was glamorous by the naming convention. Maybe it was something to do with a glamorous person that worked at Amazon. That didn’t really feel like a thing though. “OH! This is going to be a rom com isn’t it?! I take the role of a glamorous young woman that is like totally stuck in a dead end job at Amazon where I am saved by the rich uber hunk that stops me at the local coffee shop.”

Reaching forward she selected that option. “The script for Glamazon please!”
