It's so...shiny? Beautiful, modern, AMAZING! I said to myself, gazing around the lavish furnishings of my trailer. Yes that's right I have my own trailer with a little door sign and everything; I'm so proud.
Anyway I had eventually found the director and we talked a bit about my flight, and he told me how happy he was to have me here, I think I may have been smiling so wide that my face cracked.
Anyway he essentially told me that today was just about getting used to the set, meeting the cast & crew and learning a bit about the cameras, stage directions etc. as I had really never been in this kind of situation before.
I looked down at the schedule that someone from the crew had handed me, I saw that there was a story board meeting this afternoon, from what i had been told, they wanted to talk to me about my character and her background because honestly, i had no idea who she was. As much as I'd love to pull this off as me auditioning and being THAT amazing that they just had to have me but no... I was walking through one of the shopping malls with my friend grace when this guy runs into me, and he like gasps and starts doing this weird sort of happy dance, so of course me and my friend through RUN! So we sort of shuffled slowly out of the scene, it was quite funny actually, the second we left she muttered me that he was walking behind us, so we sped up, I felt like I was in one of those old movies. He seemed pretty harmless though, if not a bit...strange. So we decided to just ignore him, so I did. I ignored him when I saw him staring at me eating during lunch, I ignored him when I saw him follow us into the movies, and I even ignored him when he followed us into the dark, empty parking lot, but my friend grace didn't. But I don't really blame her there's only so many excuses you can make before you declare someone a stakler,in her mind he had obviously crossed this imaginary line.
Because she grabbed out her phone dialled 000 and hovered her finger over the call button like a trigger. "Okay who are you and what do you want", she had yelled. He paused looking down at the phone and then freaked out again, I was starting to think he had some sort of mental disability. "No, No NO! He stuttered, "I'm sorry I just...your perfect", he sighed staring at me as if I was an angel or something.
"Well that's great buddy but, we have to go now, as you can tell my friend is a bit on edge and well, so am I......please stop following us" I had replied icily. We had started walking, well more like stumbling as she was trying to run, while I was trying to play it cool and walk, uh, quickly?
"Wait wait!" he yelled coming after us. "I'm horribly sorry if I scared you it's just, uh", he sighed. "Sorry I'm horribly stressed, let me ah, start again; my name is john Forrester, I work for a show Supernatural as a casting agent, and well I've auditioned about 3000 people today and none of them had what I was looking for, but you" he said pointing at me, "are perfect for the role".
"SUPERNTAURAL" I had squeaked." That's my favourite show ever!"I yelled; If possible his smile got bigger.
"Wait, how do we know if your legit or not", asked grace; I could tell she was trying to be smart and sensible, but she was barely holding her excitement in.
He reached into his pocket and handed me a card, "I haven't got my official ID on me right now, but could you get your parents too call the number on the card, and I promise to explain everything.
I looked at him unsurely. "I'm desperate" he pleaded. "Okay I guess I'll get them to call you later", "Thank you..." he looked at me questioningly.
"Luisa" I finished for him.
"Luisa" he confirmed smiling as he finally walked away from us.
I smiled at that memory, My parents inevitably had called him, more to make sure he wasn't a stalker than for real interest in the job, but he got them talking, next thing I know I'm in an auditioning room with a script and a line of people inspecting every little thing I did. It was definitely worth it in the end though. But back to my problem now, I knew diddly squat about my character. I was only told that she was a new female character supposedly that Sam and Dean find trapped somewhere by a demon; and I guess I like beg them to take me with them, and yeah...
But I'm still looking forward to finding out more about her, I honestly hoped I didn't have too many lines in the first episode; I had no idea what kind of personality this chick was supposed to have or anything, not to mention the fact that I still struggle with 5 min monologues, let alone a 40 minute TV special.
I heard someone yelling outside, and opened my door to see what all commotion was about; boy was that a bad idea. I mean when I hear Vancouver, I don't automatically think snow, let alone snowball fights, which was exactly what I walked into by the way. I looked amusedly at the scene before me; Jared padeliki was standing there in all his glory, with a devious smile on his face, almost taunting. "Jensen" I heard him drawl cheekily. "You can't hide from me",
Who said I'm hiding" laughed a voice, Jared head snapped around at the voice behind him. I turned to see Jensen flashing him a wide smile then smashing a snowball in Jared's artfully combed hair, rubbing it in. "ah, he sighed, "revenge is sweet". Jared frowned instantly from the sensation of the ice on his head, I don't blame him though, it was freezing out here!
"Shows over folks, back to work" I heard Jensen laugh, walking back to Jared and patting him hardly on the back, but he just shaked him off; muttering something about wearing bells, At which point Jensen and a few passers bys doubled over in laughter. "Man you're a bad loser" chuckled Jensen pushing him back to the trailers.
I longed to go after them, and talk about....something; but I really, really needed to stay focused right now. I sighed and walked a few steps out of my van and gazed at my surroundings; it really was beautiful here...
