A/N: So... if "Richard Brianillus" seems like a Mary Sue that's fine. What makes this style of writing so ridiculous is that it's so biased. Would you ever say something bad about an emperor you looked up to? No! Especially if he could have you executed. So that's why Brianillus - the closest thing this tale has to Augustus - is being shown as perfect. And that's why "Tim Currianus" is so awful. I've heard bad things about him (which probably aren't true) and will make up lots of over-the-top fake stuff.
Gaius S. Bonus is Johhny B. Goode in Latin. My brother (who's actually good at Latin) and I once rewrote all the lyrics to make them Roman-themed.
And, like any Roman historian, I've got an 'angle' I'm going for when it comes to each person.
Richard Brianillus is being portrayed as a great hero with godly heritage (being related to Apollo). Quinta Patricia is being shown as some sort of virtuous role model. The way Empress Livia was shown in propaganda, pretty much. Timon Currianus is a minor villain. I haven't decided on what Laurilla will be yet.
By the way, Little Collie Lovett helped me research. I almost forget to credit her!
Soon enough - meaning after merely four weeks - The Rocky Horror Show was transferred to the Chelsea Classic Cinema. That was a wretch of a place! 'Twas condemned, and falling apart. Yet the most courageous actors endured such terrifying conditions. It is said by many that the show must go on.
Since the show was just a little one-act play, Apollo inspired Richard Brianillus to write two more songs. These songs – Charles Atlas Song and its reprise – ensured it was long enough to be a proper two-act show. The monstrous ghoul that haunted the dismal Chelsea Classic Cinema didn't want it to be too short. He hated one-act plays and was in league with the incestuous fiend Timon Currianus.
Quinta Patricia was the one who thought of how to get rid of the ghoul haunting the Chelsea Classic Cinema. Like any horror, it could be banished by the power of Rock n' Roll. So Brianillus played Gaius S. Bonus by Chuck Berrius. The ghoul was gone then. Both the other actors and the person who owned the theatre thanked Brianillus. As you'd expect, he still remained humble.
Anyway, the show sold out there as well. This was hardly even due to the divine influence of Dionysus. Though he had secretly helped set it all up…
Soon enough it was decided that they'd transfer to stranger, newer territories. Most bravely they went to… the New World. Well, they were sort of invited. A being from across the ocean called Lou Adlerus (later Lou Adlerus Movenspictrus) appeared at and offered them much money. Though only Timon Currianus made the journey across the oceans and some land. The city was known as Angelos ('Angelus' to us) and the theatre called Roxane.
All the others stayed behind in Londonium. Much was going on at the Chelsea Classic Cinema! For one thing, the earliest thoughts of the Great Triumph happened then. Though what happened in Angelus is more important for now, I should think. Timon Currianus was the only person at Roxane who knew what they were supposed to be doing. So he explained to everyone else.
Among these new actors was a strange person called Breadman. He was fat, ugly, and played the role once played by Paddy Haganillus. Though, in the very least, he could sing in his own 'special' way. Even Currianus was probably sort of confused by his existence. His name had no meaning that could be decided on. Perhaps he couldn't remember. Such a theory is plausible, since he's sort of permanently stoned-looking due to many stupidity-induced head-injuries and the taken of drugs. Oh, the shame of having such a monster become part of Fandomium RHPS! Though Breadman is no longer very involved in the Fandomium RHPS the way others are.
The other 'new' actors were Grahus Jarvis as Narrator, Brucus Scotian as Riff Raff (who is rightfully played by Richard Brianillus), B. Millianus as Brad Majors, Hanessa Abigala as Janet Weiss, Kim Milforus as Rocky Horror, Donnilla as Magenta (and Trixie, of course), and Entenus Bona as Columbia. These people were not as good as the true actors, but actors all the same.
The show played from March 21st 1974 to January 5th of the next year (1975). It was a great success!
In the cold, grimy, fiendish city called New York there's something called Broadway existed. This was a place very hard to conquer. Even the great and glorious Brianillus tried to. Alas, he failed. Just as Julius Caesar was unable to take Britannia, Brianillus didn't manage to conquer Broadway. His. But don't despair, Fandomium RHPS, lesser actors later took Broadway. Just as Claudius the cripple later conquered Britannia! That was many years later, though.
In the Autumn of 1974, a major stage of the Great Triumph began: The Filming.
The cast changed somewhat for it. Original Londonium actors played Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, and Frank (Brianillus, Quinta, Laurilla, and Currianus respectively). Dr. Scott and Eddie became separate roles, with ex-narrator Jonathan Adamus playing the former and Breadman playing the latter. The narrator was Charlus Cineruis - later known to some as Charlus the Neckless. Janet was played by a most political, ambitious fiend called Saranda Susilla (age). As we all know, Ambition is a most grievous fault. Like pneumonia – a sickness Saranda caught by being exposed to wetness, pool groping, rain, and lack of heating. This proves that she only has the physical appearance of a fish (not the love of water). Brad, on the other hand, was portrayed by the very tall Barrius Boswius (age 29). He stands 6'4" naturally, taller than Currianus stands when in heels. Though Currianus is, of course, quite short.
As was mentioned earlier many people from the original Londonium production ended up involved. This included and Brianus Thomus, Michael Albus, Richard the Lesser (also called Richard Hartlus), and Blamia Sue. Adlerus, from the Roxane, also became part of the project.
Like with any great Victory, things weren't all that easy. For one thing, poor Brianillus (aged 33) wasn't respected by the others despite being practically the reason it all began! The director most horrid – Sharmus, four years Brianillus' junior – was most cruel and had them play a speech once spoken by Richard Nixus in one scene. This gave the timeless movie a set date. Still, the songs and script were glorious enough to overshadow this fault. And, like many things, it was later embraced by the Fandomium RHPS.
The virtuous, innocent Quinta Patricia (age 30) didn't realize that her character was in a rather incestuous relationship with her own brother. Such a thing is rather scandalous. This naivety proved Quinta to be a most admirable person. A prime example of how a proper young lady of the Fandomium RHPS should act. Well, except for what she said when it was revealed most cruelly that she wouldn't get to sing Science Fiction/Double Feature. Though she indeed had a right to be quite pissed off. It was her song. Besides that – and her habit of getting quite drunk, in a nice way, thanks to being of Irish descent (that's genetics, not racism) – she's a lovely woman. The Livia Augusta of Fandomium RHPS, you see!
The filming took place during November and January. The weather was cold, perilous. Finally they went into post-production. The voice of Rocky Horror himself was dubbed by Trevor Albus (not related to Michael Albus). The infamous red Lips were filmed. Those Lips belonged to Quinta Patricia, who'd been cheated out of singing the Lips' song.
By the next Summer – August, to be more precise – the film was ready.
Please Review!
