046 + Orel

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

[Orel is going through his big cardboard box that he keeps stuff in, and pulls out his camera, then a reel. He looks at it thoughtfully, before setting up the camera legs and sticking the reel in the camera... thingies. He grins, and fiddles with a knob or something on it, before aiming it at a sheet he has set up.

Bow before my descriptive prowess.]

{And as I bow, Diva is setting up the last few chairs, since she figures that maybe some other people would like to watch Orel's movie. But what is this? Orel and Diva are no longer chained together! How? Well, you'll have to ask.}

Ne, this is a lot of work for a movie, isn't it?

[Orel laughs.]

It's not that bad!

[He turns the camera on for a second to see where he should position it to make it centered.]

This is the hardest part, I think. It's easier to project on a wall, but a sheet works just as good.

{Diva smiles, clapping her hands together. This is exciting!!}

How neat! And you made the movie yourself, you said? You must be very talented, then. I couldn't even imagine trying to make one myself.

[He nods.]

Uh-huh. I'm still working on getting better, though. Maybe in a year or two I'll be able to make a movie that's over 30 minutes long! And without anything falling over, too.

{Warmly,} I'm sure that you will! As hard as Orel works, I wouldn't be surprised. Ne, but it was interesting being together for...however long that was. Did I tell you that you're welcome to come visit any time? I'd love for you to.

[Orel makes the final adjustments on his camera.] Then I'll come over sometime! Maybe after track practice if me and Doughy aren't doing anything... or whenever you're not busy, is that okay?

{Nods!}

That'd be perfect! Oh, is it ready?

[Orel nods again.]

Yep! Sit down and I'll start it.

{Diva nods once again, and obediently sits in the front row (though, there are only two rows) with a bright smile}

[And Orel plays the movie. For those interested, there is no sound, no music, the animation is choppy, it's stop motion, and the events seem to depict an awesome day at an amusement park and a rollercoaster ride. Which will end in the car falling off the track and crashing into the ground. But don't worry, everyone seems fine. Somehow. Miraculously.]

((ooc: Orel and Diva are free! But they are also best friends, so. Blue is Diva, and orange is Orel!))

So... what do you think?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Claps!! It's still cool to her, okay?}

That's so neat! And you make these for fun?

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

Mhm! It's one of my hobbies.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{awww Orel gets a hug. But he should be used to her hugs by now}

Ne, then you're very talented! How do you decide what to make?

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

[He still seems a sort of little-boy-embarrassed despite it, but it's clear he doesn't mind, since he gives one back. He likes hugs, okay.]

Well, I usually just do whatever comes to mind, or seems neat! Or if I had a really really good idea and couldn't do a movie of it yet, I write it down to save for later.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Good, then! I would have suggested that you write it down, but it sounds like you're a step ahead of me.

[Diva has a new friend! how sweet]

So what's this?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's a movie that Orel made. You know, that chain thing that happened recently? Well, the two of us ended up stuck together, but it was a lot of fun, I think.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Did he now? How pleasant.

I was wondering about those chains. That must have been dreadful, always having him with you, though.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, not at all! He's a wonderful boy. Very polite, well mannered, and very sweet.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. I'd so hate for you to be stuck with someone you hate.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would have been bad, wouldn't it? {The thought hadn't even occurred to her}

Ne, but are there many people stuck together?

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

It's a stop-motion movie! I made it myself.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Did you now? How clever of you.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[oh hey it's two of Crane's best buds!]

Well done, Orel. Do you make this sort of thing often?

And hello, Diva. I hope you're well.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Nods}

I'm just fine! I've been with Orel for the past...oh, week or two, I suppose, so that's why I didn't send you a letter. I didn't think bringing Orel with me would be a good thing.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Ahh, were you another pair who became caught by the experimental chains?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Nods!}

Mm! It started out...Well, "rough" is the best way to put it, I think, but it wasn't any problem after a day or two.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Orel's proven to be a sweet boy, in my experience. It seems like you learned the same.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Yep! It seems like not everyone got a good person to be chained to, but I'm happy, at least!

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

[Orel nods enthusiastically.]

Uh-huh. I do a couple a week if I don't have a lot of homework to do.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I would like to see more of them, if you ever have the chance to show me.

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

I can show you them whenever you want, Professor. I've got them all in a box under my bed, and it doesn't take that long at all for me to set up the camera! [What can I say? He likes showing people his movies.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a few today, then, and a few another day? I have time.

[iamachurch.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll have to go get some other ones from my room, though. I only brought this one with me.
