Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Surprise!
No one expected it to happen. No one expected "The Voodoo Tragedy" to be a success! Well, it was! It was even nominated for a few awards. Best actor, best actress, best special effects, best original score, best sound it was all very unexpected.
Of course this would mean no award for Tina, Brandy or even Basil although all three ended up being credited.
"First time I haven't been booed out of a theatre in three years!" commented Basil after attending the debut.
For best actor was Cam as Henri Christophe, the Macbeth equivalent since the previous actor had backed out. For best actress was Toni Williams as the Lady MacDuff equivalent. Naturally, these two were going to be at the award ceremony.
Tonight, a celebration was being held at A. Nigma studios. Barrage's office had six people in it, each of them raising a glass of success. There were Lee, Cam, Holger, Biffy, Tina and, of course, Barrage.
Barrage had gone on for ten minutes about planning their next success. Unfortunately, they wouldn't have a next success until after WWII.
It was at this point that the un-liked Dick Andrews burst into Barrage's office. Dick was an employee of MWF Pictures, a former employee of A. Nigma Pictures and the owner of a rather embarrassing nickname: Twinkieless Dick. As soon as Dick entered, Basil came running in with a spoon in hand. Apparently, Basil intended to cut Dicks heart out with that spoon. He didn't like Dick, didn't like Brad, didn't like Chaz and didn't like his former landlord Phil Blompkins.
"Hagen, wait outside… Without any thing in your hands." Barrage's instructions were not followed without a little bit of angry yelling. Basil really didn't like Dick. Biffy had to drag Basil out. "Alright, Andrews, why are you here?"
"As you know, MWF's new film 'Gangbuster' has been nominated for the same awards that your uninteresting Negro entertainment has." Dick's comment caused Cam to glare. He didn't really like Dick's racist attitude. "I'll just get to it right now, don't accept the awards if you do win. MWF has never not won an award, it would reflect badly on us. Also, I have a little bit of a message from Brad Von Chilstein…" At this point, Basil came bursting in with a sledgehammer. He never got near Dick because once again Biffy dragged him out of the office. Dick pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. "I have no idea what it says, Brad has poor hand writing." Dick placed it on Barrage's desk. It went around the room until everyone had looked at it. They had no idea what it said.
What it actually said was "Basil, do you want to go bowling?" Unfortunately, it ended up in the trash.
Barrage ended up throwing a paperweight at Dick. Clearly, they would be accepting the awards if they won. Then Twinkieless left and everyone was back to celebrating.
