Hobbit Soulmate Pt 28
Tumblr media
“Hey Richy Rich,” you said with your phone on the bed on speaker as you stood one legged hunched over removing your shoes.
In a chuckle he asked, “Juggling with your shoes again,”
“This zipper, hates me.” Even Lee chuckled while easing his tie looser and you asked, “How is England? Perfectly misty?”
“Yes, you are missing the morning moors, my Love. So, tell me how the film went. And I will be expecting reactions from Lee as well.” Stirring a smirk onto his face being included.
All through the film was shared as you changed into sweats and a sweater with thick fuzzy socks added while Lee had sweats and a t shirt ending up sitting beside you flipping through the muted tv channels for something to fall asleep to. “So what are the plans after this?”
“Well I was heading back to the apartment for some more lounging time but Lee keeps trying to goad me to Canada to try out for a spot on his show starting in January.”
Richard, “Ooh, where does that film?”
Lee smirked answering, “By Niagara Falls.”
Richard, “My film is shooting near there, and a bit farther north, but you should give it a go we could get a place by his. Scope it out.”
Rolling your eyes to Lee’s beaming grin you said, “I’m counting this as a coup.”
Richard chuckled, “You know you’d end up at one of our sets either way, if they are needing actors best get paid for your time anyways.”
“Fine, I will try out for the girl who talks to inanimate objects.”
Lee, “You will love the show. It’s more than just that.”
.
From cuddled up in your own beds to the credits when Richard had long since hung up sleep was hoarded as long as possible until Lee grumbled through picking up the wake up call and warning they would call the taxi for you. Smiling at his hitting the button in your Polaroid to capture your mess of arms and curls right before the struggle to get up out of bed would ensue.
Airport breakfast came with his frozen grin locked your way making you say, “I said I’d audition, don’t you go getting excited like I already got the part.”
“Well, when we land I’ll give them a call see when the next open audition is and we can head up for you to see my place.”
“How is it?”
“It is a palace compared to my place in New York.” Making you giggle, “Two bedrooms with a bath and kitchen, separate, with hot water and a few closets.”
“Look at you all fancy.” Making him chuckle again.
“Still only has an inflatable mattress but I could spring for some lawn chairs for company.”
“How little we actually need when we are just starting out.”
“No doubt with Richard you could afford something much bigger.”
“We don’t need bigger. I have bigger.”
That had him laugh and you giggle as he said, “You have a bed and a half.”
“And a bath and a half, plus closet and sitting room with living and seating room. Little mansion of my own. See, bigger. When would I ever find another like it. You buy a penthouse you got to clean a penthouse.”
“Ugh, just keeping the mildew off the tiles in my kitchen shower is hard enough.”
“Have you tried that mint soap I told you about?”
“Couldn’t find it.”
“Mmm, I’ll show you when we get back.”
Waves from a few of the workers in the diner you’d chosen had you grinning in one of the young ladies timid trot over holding the same magazine you’d posed in the last time you came to California. “Could you sign this?” Just about turned to tears at her lack of a pen until you shook your head reaching into your carry on bag bringing one out that you almost giggled through the half paragraph of a message she wanted. Back again she hurried squealing to her excited friends showing it off as you finished up eating through Lee’s hushed chuckles and muttered comments. Once on your feet to throw trash away turning for the doorway however found a few more workers on their breaks with scattered bits of paper and old newspapers for you to sign for them as well along with Lee. Who after a confirmation of his drop in on Law and Order took turns with your pen as well bashfully scribbling his name for the small crowd that scattered as fast as it had gathered freeing you back to your gate.
Loudly a shriek had you gripping Lee’s arm and a woman hurried over, “Milla Jovovich!”
Once at your side she shoved a magazine in your palms you looked to then up again, “No-,”
“Oh my gosh I can’t wait until all my friends hear I ran into you!!”
Instantly her phone was on and she was calling some woman named Timberlie and you glanced up at Lee asking softly, “How do you spell that name?”
Lee shrugged and you rolled your eyes marking an M followed by a squiggle and the same after what could either be a J or a Y to be safe. Timidly onto the half wall behind her on her pacing around the gate you left the magazine and marker and backed away creeping to the check in gate leaving her to her fantasy encounter. With a grin you reached into your bag to hand over your boarding passes to the just about giggling woman behind the counter who read your name and you asked, “Do I look like Milla Jovovich?”
“I mean, I guess, if you kinda close your eyes a bit. Ignore the hair and the eyes, and I think she’s taller. And not so, curvy.”
“Thought so.”
Lee, “Was she the one in that space film with Bruce Willis?”
“I think that was her name.”
Lee looked you over and said, “They got the Russian part right. Hmm, fun times.”
“Not for her when she finds out.”
Making the woman chuckle and pass your tickets back, “I don’t think that matters, Honey. Just made her year it seems. Either way should be boarding soon. She’s up in first class so she won’t bother you.”
“Thank you.”
“Anytime, honey.”
Once in the seats you sighed and looked to Lee asking, “I’m guessing you have your script with you?”
His smile split wider and in the tucking of your legs onto the seat with knees laid across his leg closest to yours. Scoring closer he passed you the script saying, “Just the one for the pilot, but it’s so good. Just ignore the post its.”
Into your palms the script for Wonderfalls settled and you cracked the cover page hearing the woman squealing to her friend that you were reading a script making the woman behind the counter wonder who you might actually be as she didn’t recognize your name or face exactly. “I work in the gift shop, nice. Tons of retail background.” Making Lee chuckle as you turned from the first page, commenting on first how you got he powers and smiling as oh smirked at the actions the little figurine told you to take to ‘save the day’ as others would in various situations throughout the show.
A call to board had you holding a finger in the script page folded around it as Lee grabbed both your carry on bags following you back to the desk once pretty much everyone else was boarded. Letting you take up your seat in the back of the plane so very far from the woman up front no doubt having expected to have been seated near you. Five hours two bags of pretzels and tiny cans of v8 later and you sighed relenting to Lee after he’d shared from his post it packed notebook on all he’d studied up on the subject his character had his degree in centered around religions of the world that comes into question when he learns about what gift his sister now has. To his puppy dog stare you sighed out, “It does sound like it’d be fun. Doubt I’d have to do much romancing in it.”
“Oh you’ll have a crush, I think, at best a date. No throwing down in this show from what we were told except for my character and Tracy.”
“Wow,” Making him chuckle bashfully.
“Just a shirtless post tryst scene. She agreed to bra and quick pop into jeans after. I will be wearing pants. Just a few make out scenes after so many episodes of rivaling banter.”
“I do love a good enemies to lovers tale.” Making him smile again, “So, who am I crushing on? How does he look? Am I going for muscle head or average joe with a heart of gold or do I have to gag through the falling for the bad boy cliche?”
“I think, joe? He’s not too muscular. Tyron Leitso, he kind of looks a bit like me, blue eyes though. Ooh, he was in Dinotopia, the one breaking all the rules.”
“Ok, haven’t seen that one yet.” you said with a nod. “But I can always pester him with my Dino knowledge, good.” Making him chuckle again.
“Yes we can see that when we get back, I have a copy of the tapes, and our sister is blonde,”
“Bit of a mish mash family picture we have.”
“Yes, she doesn’t like either of us very much but likes me more for having accomplished something.”
“Nice,” you replied through a giggle.
“Apparently also secretly gay.”
“Ooh,” Making him chuckle again, “That should be an interesting twist. Hope we bond over the fact I’m not going to be a dick bout that.”
“Not sure yet. There is some bonding. Mostly you’ll be working with me, which was why it was so stunning the other actress dropped out, sort of leaves me hanging.”
“Must be a very tall tree,” you teased making him smirk again in easing his tray table up while you slid your bag back under your seat readying for the landing he took your hand for.
“Ha ha.”
Outside the gate you exited through following the crowd to the packed halls back out to the familiar luggage claim you kept to his side hoping that lady wouldn’t follow trying to ask you more about a woman you could barely recall the face of in your mind outside of her makeup covered self.
Just the eyes stuck, yet with bags on your backs to the shuttle you went passing the flashes of cameras that went off in your exit you and Lee gave quick grins to and continued along. Apparently one of those friends had called the press and after your semi known self was photographed by a couple of the cameramen the others waited murmuring about the better known actress they didn’t realize was coming to New York. You would have giggled if you hadn’t known that a few of those guys lived off those paydays and missing out could be bad for them if they didn’t make it up somehow with another find.
.
With burgers and fries across a towel laid out on your bed you watched the films on your vhs player refusing to move the tv to the sitting room only to have to move it back later. “He did not just quote Queen,” Lee chuckled around his mouthful and you groaned, “Ugh, and she bought it.”
A bit later you grinned at the ping pong scene, “Aww, Zippo. Now I’m going to have dreams about Dinos for weeks. Cyrus and the Lord Mayor, have to add them to my dream costar list.”
“I think Capt Oonu should narrate books. Such a great voice.” You giggled as he said, “I would listen to whatever he narrated.”
“Rosemary, I’ve seen her in something. The face isn’t clicking but I’ve heard her voice before. And it’s just picking at me.”
“Same as Zippo, I’ve heard that voice.”
Hours you watched the films then to the sunrise you caught his eye and he asked, “Did you want to go pick up our tickets?”
That had you giggling, “You want to leave today?” He blinked at you and you sighed, “Just a day trip or should I bring a bag?”
“Just a day trip.”
You shook your head and sighed, “You could have said something at the airport.”
“But I had to get my package from the desk.” That had you giggle and say, “Alright, let me at least change my shirt.” You said heading to the closet tugging the t shirt off to pull on a clean spaghetti strap tank top you put on under a nicer t shirt not coated in sun stains, though both kept inching up over your middle causing you to grab a baggy flannel and your jacket. Hastily you brushed your teeth as he did the same using his kit from his bag you dropped at his place on the way down along with his package from his grandma out in Oklahoma he would unwrap later. Grabbing a book to go through you added to your bag along with a spare resume and headshot you shouldered. The apartment was locked up and down you went to meet him in the lobby where he hung up from his call to the office for the show he confirmed an open audition was going to be started by the time you got there.
“Will they be open at least or will we be absurdly early?”
“They are open, bit curious why I called about it, they did ask if I’d be up to being there for some run throughs last week. Said I was on my way up.”
“Nice,” you teased through his chuckle on your joint way out of the building back into the chilly air bound for chillier weather off to the airport again. Widely you grinned to the man behind the counter you had waved to on his way in as you were on the way out with narrowed eyes trying to figure out on his own why you were back so soon. “Got ambushed with a request to go to Canada.”
“Is that so,” he said flatly shifting his hands to type up the flights off to Canada. “We have one in thirty minutes.”
“Perfect.” He looked you over accepting your cash and ID for the ticket and you giggled saying, “Don’t worry, this is my second to last flight today.”
“You want a round trip then?”
“Um, I’m not entirely sure when I’ll be coming back tonight, or how long this audition will take. So no thank you, I’ll just have to pester them to fly me back at their desk.”
That had him chortle and roll his eyes, “I swear, you are here more than me sometimes.”
“Just wait till December, no doubt they’ll hang up my picture, number one customer right here.” You giggled out taking the ticket and cards he passed you back guiding you along to the security desk where the guard outside gave you the same giggle inducing once over.
“Don’t you have a home?” He teased taking your bag for the box to scan as you undid your belt to add to the box along with the odd combination of coins and a weird bottle cap you found earlier.
Lee chuckled and said, “My fault, she’s helping me on a show I’m filming with in January. Last minute drop out we need a new female lead.”
The guard said after you passed through the metal detector, “Two kids your age should not be flying this much. I couldn’t afford baseball tickets when I was your age.”
“Ooh, but my Grandpa got me this credit card, I get miles now.”
“Miles,” the other guard chuckled out shaking his head helping Lee through the detector.
The excited smile on your face had him shaking his head and you giggling, “Don’t miss your flight. And hurry back to get some sleep.”
“I’m on vacation till December after this, tons of time to sleep.”
“And I best not see either of you till then.” He called back as you both filled your pockets and hurried off with bags in hand to your gate in time to check in and file in for a mid plane seat this time.
.
One hour didn’t seem very long at all as once the wheels came up your head tapped his arm and you were blinking awake at his gentle nudge awake when the call for landing was given. The time skip showing how tired you didn’t realize you were. Still a ruffle of your loose curls you twisted up into an unrestrained ponytail you let go of for a moment of cool air on your neck and up you stood joining everyone else for the file out of the plane following Lee who had commandeered your bag as if to force a hostage situation.
Just a simple call warning he was coming and outside the airport was a driver who was on the phone, apparently passing on the news Lee was here shockingly with a guest. A bit confused he opened the door for Lee, who let you in first to follow after leaving the driver muttering about what you looked like. Softly you asked, “You did tell them I was coming, right?”
“Nope,” he said with a smile making you scoff and shake your head turning it to look up the window as the driver hopped in and hung up.
“Off to the studio we go!” He said cheerfully but stole yet another glance at you in the mirror.
Breaking the silence Lee said, “Tracy is gonna flip seeing you again.” Drawing your eyes to him with brow arched up. “Oh don’t, I told people I knew you when you won the Tony and were all over the press and I got so many stares like I was lying.”
“So you just show up with me?” You giggled out earning a nod from him in return before his huff and slide closer to let you lean against his chest through a peck on your forehead. “Incorrigible.”
“Always.” He said settling his cheek on top of your head settling in for the forty minute drive.
.
Tumblr media
“You did not bring Jaqi Pear!” The voice was loud and clear from Tracy who was walking out of the studio office. Lee was blocking the view of his guest for the curious secretary peering through the window on the door behind Tracy who was tasked with finding out who Lee had brought and if they were meant to entertain them or not.
Once out Lee smiled saying, “Hey Tracy, look who I brought.”
Stepping aside for you to hop out making her let out an excited squeal of a sound closing the distance for a hug luring another face possibly of a producer to watch the scene playing on whose mouth dropped recognizing you from the premier Lee was photographed at they learned of the night prior. “Girl! I have not seen you since you graduated early abandoning us all for Broadway!” She pulled back at your soft giggle smiling as she said, “Now you have to tell me how you buy a sweater and end up with nine jobs!”
You giggled again saying, “It wasn’t nine, felt like it, but most of them were small. Extra blips.”
“I saw About a Boy, you were no blip.”
“I didn’t know it was that big! I was love interest number four! When do any of Hugh’s flings in his films get more than a blip when they’re not big names?”
She chuckled and Lee said in a nod of his head to the door, “I think we should go inside,”
Tracy said poking him in the side, “You! They were on their heads for a while wondering who you brought out here with you, please tell me you’re auditioning.” Smiling was her answer at the anxious vanishing act of your voice and she let out another giddy squeal guiding you to the door, “Oh this is going to be perfect. You have no idea, just no idea, two girls so far, a Barbie doll and an amazon woman built more for the Terminator than an adorable quirky show about a girl who talks to inanimate objects. Neither of which stayed for the full interview when they asked if there was a nude scene like they had been told.”
“Wow,”
“Well there’s three in the list for their first interview then they take turns with me, now Lee too, for the second.”
Once through the door the secretary smiled hurrying back to her desk after the producer had turned pretending to fix a clock mounted to the wall he couldn’t manage to hang again he hid behind a potted plant in the corner to follow your group to the desk where Tracy said in a point to you, “She’s auditioning.”
The secretary nodded and passed you the clipboard as you turned saying, “Oh go on, you two have work to do. I know this part so stop hovering you’ve caused enough drama Lee.”
Tracy smiled and turned seeing the producer taking wider side steps to catch up to the pair and ask about your wanting to try out for the part. Into an empty chair you sat crossing your legs for a desk to fill out the papers you turned in with the headshot and resume she paper clipped together and hurried in to the next room to the next stunned producer who showed it to the director as the girl in front of them took a breath readying for her scene. Through the wall you could hear loud awkward readings of the lines timed like a metronome in a flat tone possibly signaling she was throwing this audition or simply this was her first time. Looking to your book unlike the other girls watching the beaming girl strut her way out past who you would assume to be her gawking mother you bit back your smirk propping an arm up on the arm of your chair soon covered with your loose curls that had the other straight haired girls stealing lingering stares your way wondering why you and your apparently grungy self had come to try for this part to be lead in this show. They got called back however and both came out to be called in to the second reads while you finished off another chapter in The Way We Live Now, still stuck in your classic mood for novels to just wallow in missing your cuddle happy Richard so far from you.
“Miss Pear?” Closing the book you grinned at the friendly producer’s aid calling you back watching you add the book to your bag you brought with you into the first office you could just imagine Lee and Tracy pinning their ears to the wall between that and the second they were in to hear how this would go.
The bag was left on the seat and you looked over the sheet the producer handed you and to the camera the aid was manning you read off the snarky monologue you recognized from the script you borrowed from Lee all about the perils of working retail in the Niagara  Falls gift shop. By the third line the Producer had his eyes fixed on you and missed his line the aid read for him making him stutter glance her way only to have you pick up again for a rude interaction with a guy who refuses to buy anything after asking you a bunch of questions about a video playing in the shop.
Smiling again from the scoffing shake of your head to the imaginary back of the fleeing customer as you leaned into the chair standing in for the counter they had asked you to use. The page was handed back and moving your bag at his throat clearing in his hand gesture to sit you did settling on one of your bent legs to not be too terribly short across from the pair. “Do you have experience in retail? That seems, very authentic.”
Mid giggle you replied, “Yes, years of it, waitressing to working in shops to get through school to pay what was left on my tuition after scholarships.”
“Yes,” he said looking to your resume, “This says you went to Oxford and Julliard?”
“Yes, I got accepted into Oxford first, mainly for science, my dad said I had to have a backup plan, then my audition, word got back to me I was approved for Julliard too. Bit unusual but I mastered in both Drama, Arts and Science for my degrees.”
After a moment he wet his lips and asked, “How did you hear about this part?”
“Lee, um, I got two roles in two different horror films and my Mate hates to watch horror films in the theater so I asked Lee to go with me instead. He asked if I’d come to check out his apartment out here for the show and the role came up. It’s really a unique idea for a show, had to at least give it an audition.”
“You know Lee well?”
“He’s my best friend, he started at Julliard in my second year,” you answered with a grin making his split wider, “And I believe Tracy was in my year. I kept my head down for most of my first year, I was under five feet still and just didn’t have he energy for comments on that between classes.”
“And, there are, some interesting roles on here. Since your lead role on Broadway you’ve been mainly extras?”
“Yes, I, see I have a habit of being a last minute addition.” Causing his brow to tick up, “For Chicago on Broadway it was a couple weeks before the show was to go on that my teacher, who was choreographing it, tipped my name to the Director and head producers that I could fill in. I got back from Christmas holiday break in England to New York where they had a bunch of films recasting their extras so I got a stack of auditions. The Lord of the Rings was really the only one I got auditioning the old fashioned way and I got that for stunt and body doubling work under pounds of prosthetics. Other than my last film which I got for my ballet and musical training.”
“You’re not limiting yourself to simply musical or dance based roles then?”
“No,” you said with a shake of your head, “No Chicago was just one of my two musical ones with this last film I did.”
“And you feel you could hold the lead role in a tv show? I see this would be your first one.”
“I would be lying if I said I couldn’t hold the weight of it. I give all my projects my all and I don’t imagine filming a tv show would be any less work than for a film, I might not have been your first choice but I won’t let the Producers or Director down.”
“I don’t doubt that, Tony award, plus our other Producer saw your spot in Enough. Went on about how the purple eyed girl could have been given a larger spot to fit the talent.” Holding back your smirk you nodded as he asked, “Why do you think Lee would have thought you perfect for this?”
“We get on amazingly, so it wouldn’t be hard to melt into a good chemistry for scenes, including any sort of familiarity in moving around one another like siblings would depending on how small the sets are made for their childhood household. I suppose also for the retail bit he knows I’d be able to have experience no doubt on unruly customers or how people tend to distract themselves while alone working in a store.”
“Really,” he said with a grin, “How did you entertain yourself working alone?”
“Until Lee got there I would recite from books I’d read a million times until the store emptied then I had audio books I put into the boom box at the store until the guy filling paper goods shouted for some music or he’d fall asleep. Then of course I’d blast opera or the classic musical tapes I had.” Making him chuckle at your smirk, “Then Lee started there and I had someone to rehearse with or just chat on in circles through the night to keep him awake while he got used to working nights and going to school.”
“How do you think Lee or Tracy would take it if we were to choose against you?”
“They’ll survive.” You giggled out, “Honestly it wouldn’t really change anything my Mate has a film he’ll be working on in Canada while you are filming out here so I could still spend time with them and hear how everything is going.”
“Oh,” his brows inched up, “So you already plan on being out here at that time frame.”
You nodded, “I have two premiers in December, some press for a film late January, and another film out in mid to late January. Until September, I have a few things that have been lined up, but it’s all pretty flexible.”
“Well we don’t have much to film for winter scenes,” he muttered on his way to the door causing you to turn and stand at his opening the door, “If you’d give us a few moments we’ll call you back for the second round.” With a nod you went back to your former seat in the waiting room a bit confused if you’d given a good impression or not and with camera in hand he led his aid into the second office where you saw Lee and Tracy off in a third side office reading scripts no doubt until the pair entered the office next to theirs. The door shut and shaking your head you went for your book again and for what seemed to be far longer than you had seen the other girls wait you read until the door opened to the office after you heard a muffled shriek that made you flinch followed by a few loud thuds.
“Miss Pear?” Closing your book your face must have been priceless because she let out a bashful chuckle saying, “There was a bug, it fell on me.”
“Ah, ya, hate that.”
You said crossing to the doorway where you found Lee tying his boot back on letting out a weak chuckle, “You missed it, huge centipede.”
“Glad about that,” you said eyeing Tracy shivering off her crawling skin from seeing the bug just scooped away into the trash.
The second Producer asked, “You’re already planning on being out here in early January?”
“My Mate is filming here, well, in Canada, he hasn’t shared where exactly. Also said we could look into apartments near the one Lee rented. So it must be relatively close for him. I do have to be through Europe though near the end of the month.”
The Director shook his head, “No, no, only two episodes I believe heavy for winter months. We don’t have lengthy film windows for that, and even then we could touch up again in February if we would have missed something. Will you be here then?”
“Yes, one of my extra spots is being reshot in England, but it only should take a couple weeks. I’m just an extra blip in the film for some humor. Then I can just pop right back.”
The Director chuckled, “You really do bounce back and forth around the globe don’t you?”
That had you giggle, “You have no idea. But I’m used to it. Through school summer to fall in Julliard and Holiday break in Oxford then back again until summer for my semester back at Oxford. And New Zealand and Canada seem lovely alternatives for the ocean hopping paths too.”
Smoothing his hands down the sides of his jeans the first Producer watched the second pass you a page you looked over, “If you wouldn’t mind, Lee and Tracy have read up on the scene we’d like you to run through.”
You nodded and they set up some chairs and the spare table along the wall on your right for a mock set. Out of your jacket you shrugged leaving it by your bag along the wall stepping into place for what had the others smirking to themselves at how the three of you clearly had chemistry and a great flow already even just dropped into a scene. A few adjustments were made for the next few times you went through the scene and the second behind that one to ensure you might fit the mold they were looking for.
Facing them again you grinned holding a hand over Lee’s eyes giggling out, “Just ignore his face,” That had you giggle at his bump to your back and hug of your arm now being pinned to his chest so he could inspect the group that had just broken from their hushed conversation.
The Director was the one to say, “Well you certainly mesh well personality wise.”
At the glances from the Producers you knew it was something about how you looked, and the Second Producer asked, “Do you perm your hair?”
“No,” you shook your head, “And if you need it straightened or shorter or even dyed I’m good with that. I asked Lee about that earlier, he said the sister, other sister, is blonde.”
“That’s good,” the Director nodded, “Very good, I think blonde might be a bit too drastic a change, our original thought was for a brunette actress.”
You nodded and said, “Sure, about how long? Mine is to the middle of my back, but it can reach my waist if I straighten it.”
Tracy said, “Original girl’s was here,” she said on your upper bicep about to the level of your bust.
“Oh that’s no problem. I have some friends who have been dying to play with my hair.” That had brows rising on the Producers, “They’re licensed beauticians, work with pageants mainly a few films they’d give me a good deal since I have so much hair and they’d have to straighten it then cut it then dye it and straighten again. Giving them tons of time to play with it.” After a moment you said, “Plus Lee’s brows are kind of similar to mine, I have some colored contacts if you want me to wear those too.”
The Director said, “I think the purple should be fine. From a distance they kind of look blue, besides, the purple is sort of your charm. Can’t hide that.”
Lee’s hands shifted a bit more comfortably around your arm he lowered to rest across his belly thrilled to have had this go so well. “How are you with swim suit shots? We have a scene for a hot summer day with an actor being shirtless and in the script we would have you possibly in a bikini top and shorts sunbathing.”
“As long as it’s a sensible top that should be fine,” you giggled out, “We won’t be filming that in January, will we?”
“No,” the trio chuckled, the first Producer saying, “In Spring when we pick up filming again.”
The Director nodded and offered his hand yours was released for, “Welcome aboard then. We’ll send the contracts to your lawyer along with a firm timeline for filming so you can plan accordingly. Thank you, truly for coming along. We will let you know about the table read dates coming up through the next few months.”

I’m behind on some shows because life so here are some quick hits on some of the stuff I’ve watched...
Fear the Walking Dead - Well, we know Madison survived. She’s my least fave of the cast who may possibly be alive so...yeah. I still don’t understand the weird relationship between Nick and Troy. Looking back on it, the whole weird Madison - Troy - Nick thing could have been interesting but they didn’t develop it in any way that made sense or earned any sort of sympathy for Troy. He just cray-cray.
Also, what’s the point of Alicia going off for an episode only for her to be thrown back into her family again. I mean, I’d rather the story burn through plot that linger too longer but that was lightning quick.
The Gifted - In this week’s episode, Cait gets a case of the incredibly naive for sake of plot and Andy has another teenaged temper tantrum that the audience accepts because he’s a boy. Blink gets mesmerized in a bad way for the right reasons. Reed nearly betrays everyone but has a change of conscience because there’s a child involved n’ stuff. Oh, and Polaris and Eclipse can do some aurora borealis stuff thanks to their mutant powers.
Like everything that happened in this episode happened just so that Reed would get moved to another facility and Cait would have a way of getting that information because her brother knows stuff... so that in the next episode the Mutant Underground can attempt to intercept the transport.
Kevin (Probably) Saves the World - This show increasingly feels like Wonderfalls ... in a good way.
I’m dropping Wisdom of the Crowd. It’s not because I’ve found it so horrible that I don’t want to watch it anymore. I’m interested if it get any better, honestly. The problem is that if I miss the live broadcast I can only catch it if I have CBS All Access. (My web browser claims I have ad blocker running on their site even though I don’t and still refuses to play the episode for me.)
There are a lot of shows. Being this inconvenienced is a deterrent. So, yeah, CBS loses here.

Salsa Never Dips Out! Icons Bring Disability Rights Forward!
31st March 2019
The City's eyes turned to Midnight this Saturday when a press conference at Icon Tower revealed some surprising news to the world; Salsa, the newest addition to the Icons, has returned to the public eye after a months-long leave of hushed absence. The icon, who has only been a member of the team since late 2016, had become increasingly reclusive outside of awareness-raising social media posts since October, had been tragically wounded in action following brief exposure to Sunset during the post-Harbinger Crisis Talent Spikes, leaving her paralysed in her lower body. As she was unwilling to put herself to the front of a waiting list for so called "Miracle Cure" talents, as this would mean putting herself before others who she believed were more deserving of treatment, Salsa remains disabled.
Though the conference was initially intended to include her resignation from the Icons, Salsa once again shocked the world by revealing a state-of-the-art mechanical exoskeleton and announcing that she does not intend to give up heroics any time soon and will not be resigning. This is a groundbreaking move towards normalising disability and providing representation for those living with disabilities.
Salsa rose into the public eye in late 2016, after famously talking down a bomber in the Sunset Central Mall, while simultaneously managing a crowd of several thousand people. Her actions earned her a place on the icons, who have since provided her with the resources to save potentially thousands more. Salsa is an inspirational figure to many, and has helped as many people through her empathy and diplomatic skills as she has through combat. Even without an expensive suit, she is absolutely icon material.
When Salsa opened for questions, the conference was interrupted by an attack by the ex-reporter Lyman "Conspiriseer" Fairfax, who had become convinced that she was a robot. Fairfax, who was supported by Ninox and her Scofflaws, planned to "expose" Salsa by taking control of her exoskeleton using Radio Redd, a creation of the late Dr. Wonderfall. HUI's response was swift, due to the presence of HUI's own chief of security, Vanguard, who apparently recieved a tip from an anonymous informant.
As Acedia and Randall Lanik fought the Scofflaws, Salsa proved that she still has the spark that drove her, as she personally interceded along with hero Valantina "Znakharka" Checkova to rescue a member of the Sunset Herald's press team who was being kept captive.
El Caballero de las Flores, a rare sight outside of his mechanical suit, threw himself heroically onto the back of Radio Redd, before taking part in a duel against Ninox, as she proclaimed vengeance against "her nemesis" Randall Lanik.
The battle drew to a close as Znakharka, having talked the Conspiriseer down, climatically dropped a statue atop Radio Redd, rendering it inoperable. Due to the swift heroic intervention, only one injury was sustained throughout the crowd, and the injured civilian is expected to make a full recovery!
Of note is that of the HUI heroes present, El Caballero, Znakharka and Vanguard are all prominent disabled heroes, each with their own struggles and strengths. It really goes to show that anyone can be a hero. Although what happened to Salsa is a tragedy, it's good to see that she will have the support of Sunset's heroic community in future as she adjusts to being back in the spotlight.
After all, She can do anything she sets her mind to. Literally.
Sincerely, Fluffy Crescent, Sunset Herald.
