Part 1: Handing out the roles

LENG: Ok, so all of you are gathered here to star in another of our co-productions…

Sakuragi: How come that evil sister of yours isn't here?

LENG: SAKURAGI!!! How dare you insult people like that!

Sakuragi: Erm…

LENG: She's not the only one who's evil! Both of us are evil!

Sakuragi: //sweatdrop// Gomen Nasai…

LENG: And don't you forget it! Now, everyone, I shall lead you around the set.

LENG shows them the house, and then the palace. Finally, they come to a strange-looking brown thingy.

LENG: Now THIS… is the staircase.

Kiyota: They look more like a heap of cardboard boxes.

LENG: Because they ARE a heap of cardboard boxes. Glued together like a staircase. Anyway, we were low on budget so we went around collecting them from shops that didn't need them anymore.

Kiyota: So I guess it should be steady, right?

Kiyota leans on the Cardboard Box Staircase. The Cardboard Box Staircase immediately comes crashing down on him.

LENG: Unfortunately, no.

The cardboard boxes fall onto Kiyota. He stumbles backwards. His leg pulls a on a cord and something snaps, followed by an angry yell coming from a room. A very angry-looking V.C. comes out of the room.

V.C.: ARRRRRGHH! Who disconnected the modem?

Everyone else points to the half-buried Kiyota. V.C. glares at him. Kiyota gulps.

V.C.: //points to typewriter// LENG, can I borrow that?

LENG: Uh… ok…

V.C. types furiously, and the cardboard boxes are gone off Kiyota. What remains of the messy scene is a bunch of female monkeys glomping Kiyota.

LENG: Don't look now; I think he's enjoying himself.

V.C.: They'll disappear in a matter of five minutes.

At that moment, a girl comes up.

Ayako: Who are you? You don't seem to be an original SD character.

Girl: I'm Kazuko. I'm an imaginary character V.C. created for this sole purpose. I'm a stunt double.

Ayako: I thought stunt doubles were supposed to be of the same built.

LENG: AS I WAS SAYING… we are low on budget so we just got V.C.'s imaginary character to help us out. She'll have to do it for free anyway.

Kazuko: Created characters lead very sad lives. *sniff*

V.C.: Shall I read out the cast now?
