Rushing off into the sunset, Chin's figure became smaller and smaller, until he had disappeared around a corner. The others stood in the alley, dumbfounded and not knowing what to do. An injured Ururu approached the raven haired woman and her child, and placed a hand on her shoulder. The possessed form of the Shinigami stood there as well, but seemed tense, as if waiting for something to end the terrible sadness in the air…
"…And, cut!!" a voice calls from off screen, and immediately, everyone's expressions changed. Bright lights opened up above them, cutting through the violet and deep orange hues, losing the ambience set up by the music just seconds ago. From behind the camera, several people began rushing to take apart what were actually stage props, while others walked casually to the four who were hugging each other. "Great job everyone, great job!"
A bearded man wearing a baseball cap applauded loudly, amongst several others who did the same thing. On it, his cap clearly labeled 'director'. "That was a great take, but Kia, I didn't feel enough emotion from you for the final scene…"
Everyone groaned, and the actress in question was the most displeased. "We're going to have to do it again!" the cap wearing man called out, adjusting his round rimmed glasses as he started walking away.
"Wait a minute," the long haired woman said. Walking quickly after the man, she combed her hand through her dark blue hair, and turned the man around. "Who the heck are you?"
"What, I'm the director!! And what I say goes!" The man exclaimed, pointing at his hat to emphasize his point. The woman furrowed her well groomed eyebrows, and her dark violet eyes squinted slightly.
Everyone gasped when the man fainted, a visible red spot in the center of his face as he crumpled to the ground.
"What'd you just punch the director for, Kia!?" The raven haired woman exclaimed. Beside her, two similar looking actors glanced at each other confused, one wearing a black kimono-like robe and the other holding what seemed to be a Pez dispenser.
"Geez guys…Typewriterman doesn't have a beard, remember?"
"Oh yeah…"
"Forgot about that…"
"What does Typewriterman look like again?"
Everyone's mumbles and soft spoken realizations caused the woman release a sharp sigh. Rather stand around some more; she walked off stage, toward any open chair near the food table. Sitting down after placing some pieces of food on her Styrofoam plate, she picked up a croissant and bit into the pastry, savoring its taste.
"Oh my gosh…it's Ururu-chan!!" a young voice exclaimed behind her. Turning to face the voice, the woman's brows were angled, to express her confusion. "You are just so cute with those crumbs on your face, Ururu-chan!" the voice practically squealed. Embarrassed, the dark haired woman immediately wiped her arm, and was about to call for security. "Oh, no…I'm not some deranged stalker, I'm with the press!"
"…SECURITY!!!"
"We're on in 3, 2…."
"Thanks Teddy…" the man faked a laugh, "today, I'm here with a special guest. She's acted in quite a few fanfictions in her time, actually started out as a child fanfiction actress. Today marks the last shooting and her first project for Typewriterman's 'A Warrior's Last Wish', Kia Sherman." Shaking his bouncy brown hair à la Baywatch, the man shifted in his seat to greet the dark haired woman. "It's an honor to meet you, Kia."
"Uh, thanks…what was this for, again?"
"You mean the FNN?"
"…never heard of it." She admitted nervously.
"Yes, the Fanfiction News Network…we're very well known…" the man ignored her confession. "So Kia, what was it like to work with Typewriterman?"
"Uh, to be honest, he himself, was almost never on set…we always had a different director on an almost daily basis, and the only time I really met him…uh…is this going to be shown to kids?" She pointed towards the cameraman curiously.
"Uh, I don't know…" the man said and looked towards the cameraman as well. The cameraman shrugged, and the two looked back at each other.
"Ok, well then I guess all I can say, is that his breath is really minty…" she giggled slightly, and blushed a bit as well.
"Heh?"
"Forget it…"
"…Next question, Kia…other than the director aspect, what was it like filming this fanfiction?"
"Oh, I loved it. I've always wanted to play Ururu since I read the manga, and watched the show, and it's pretty awesome to portray an older version of her. I mean check this out, isn't this dress cute?"
"Definitely…" the interviewer tried not to drool. "Ahem…tell us a bit more about your cast members and such."
"Well, out of most of the guys I worked with, Chin was the veteran with working with Typewriterman. He's pretty chill, but he's so busy these days."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Look at the guy!" Both of them look towards the front of the studio to see a dark haired man rush outside. "While he was working this project, he's also doing something for RadiantBeam. The guy's mad…"
"So what about the rest of the cast?"
"Sharon, the girl playing Karin, is really funny. Sure she can be a sour grape sometimes, but off camera, she's a blast. And when Tiffany Graham, the girl playing Yoruichi was around, the three of us were just crazy!" She laughed softly, and had to actually wipe a tear from her eye. "She's working over at RadiantBeam's, too."
"Sounds like a lot of double roles going on then."
"Yeah, but that's how it is with those two. There are a couple of other sound stages I like to check out when we weren't shooting, I think one or two of them weren't even Bleach."
"Really, and they were?"
"Well uh, there's one by Typewriterman that was technically Bleach, but it has some Naruto aspects to it…there's this Hellsing Fic called 'Inversion'. It's directed by TwinEnigma, though they haven't done any recording over there in a while…NoDrogs comes up with these fabulous stories, but mainly, I've been reading up on Manga a lot."
"That's really cool. One more question."
"Shoot."
"You wanna catch a movie sometime? Maybe watch '300'?"
"Uh…I kind of watched it already…with my boyfriend…"
"…"
"Sucks" the cameraman said.
"Ok then…thanks for the interview, Kia."
"Thank you for making me feel important, uh…"
"The name's Rob…" the interviewer said sadly.
"Sucks…" the cameraman said again. Shaking hands, the two awkwardly smiled towards each other. After a few seconds, the cameraman lowered his camera and began to pack up.
"I uh, gotta go…the cast and crew is going to go celebrate." Kia said before leaving. "You guys want to come?"
"Oh, can't…I have to go back to the studio and begin editing for the FNN broadcast tonight."
"I'll be there" the cameraman said from the food table. "Mind if I bring the wife?"
"Oh, sure thing Rodney!" Kia chirped happily.
"How do you know my cameraman?"
"Didn't you know? He plays Tessai on the anime!"
Some words from the Typewriter
Me and Kia dated for a bit, but it just couldn't work out. She was imaginary, after all...
...legalities...
Some names were made up on the spot, while other names are Fanfic writers. Others still, are characters from anime.
One name you can be sure about, is Tite Kubo.
