~~THE PERFORMANCE THREAD~~ **aside** ((action)) %%thought%%
Daniel:
JACK:
((Jack is bemused and baffled when the cameras start moving away.))
**Hey, what about our flashback?! Ennis, they're tryin' ta cut out our memories!! Lets get outta here before its too late!**
((Jack grabs Ennis's hand and tries to pull the still naked, sudsy, strangely-youthful Ennis out of the scene. Jack gives Ennis the once-over.))
**Well I guess yer all ready, I jest need ta get rid of this thing and we're good ta have our own little flashback.**
((Jack rips off his fake moustache... %%Ow!!%%, pulls Ennis toward him and kisses him fast and hard, moving his mouth against Ennis's with a furvor he didn't know he had left in him. He pulls back reluctantly to breathe.))
**I know, I know... ain't in the script.**
Mikaela:
RANDOM AUDIENCE MEMBER:
((Yelling forcefully from somewhere in the off-stage darkness))
Sod the script!! Forget about the script! You just do what feels right for you!
(( Suddenly introspective and pensive))
%% Perhaps I should start signing myself "Randy Audience Member" instead. Seems that's all I'm ever on about.... %%
(( Slinks off in atonement to look into last-minute possibility of signing on as a shadow-reflecting rock extra for crucial upcoming scene ))
Mikaela:
RANDY RANDOM AUDIENCE MEMBER:
((Realizing everything has been at a complete standstill while she was away in tough negotiations with the Casting Director))
Really, you guys! You're so sweet to wait for me - but it really wasn't necessary!
(( Realizes the respectful halt to proceedings may have more to do with the fact that moustache-less Jack is still cradling and caressing and kissing and...... ahem..... a still-shivering, naked, sudsy Ennis, whose sighs and soft moans carry all over the set))
Ooohhhh!
((Whispers))
**Anywaaay, guys - I got in as an extra! **
((Preens))
I am a rock!
(( Places herself strategically near camp fire ))
Totally ready to reflect any single-column shadows, here!
What? You think I wanna miss any little moment of this? Nope, not me! I'm all eyes!
((Whispers))
**But I'm very discrete about it!**
(( Starts humming softly, influenced by mood of recent scene, perhaps, and looking towards the two central characters:))
Don't talk of love,
but know that word is yours;
It's living in your hearts - and mine.
I won't disturb your unspoken feelings that won't die.
If you'd never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock....
he is an island.
LauraGigs:
ENNIS: %% A rock, hunh? I'm gettin a bit rock-like, myself.
Still this is pretty fuckin confusin! Jack's all pushin me away an rejectin me — then all lovin on me an shit? I can't handle these on-camera / off-camera behavioral inconsistencies!
^ Ah done picked that up from them psychological journals... %%
(( Vacillates, as before, between giving in to Jack's loving ministrations — or punching him the hell out. ))

RANDY RANDOM AUDIENCE MEMBER TURNED STONE EXTRA
**Gulp**
**Rock-like as in....rock-hard? Oh, the mental images! **
(( Feeling about as hard and solid and cool and collected as the magma at the earth's center))
%%Oh, My! It's lucky for me I'm just an inconspicuous little stone. A pebble, really. Noone will notice my slightly overheated, cross-eyed, tongue-lolling, breathless... appearance..... I hope.%%
((Granite concentration))
%% Serenity now....serenity now%%
(( Deep breat ))
** Ack! Argh! Great balls of marble! Stones don't have hands! I can't fan myself! Aaarhhh! **
((Deep breaths))
OK, all calm now. Seriously. I'm *so* back in character. Should David happen by, looking for just the right tool to take out Goliath, he'd not find me wanting. No Sir. Not that I want to be bragging or anything, but... there'll never be a more ston-y stoned stone here than me! I think my Academy Award will be a stone-in.
(( Another deep breath ))
And anyway.... I mean, seriously - how can a poor extra *not* react to all this emotional stuff happenin', in the nude and all? This stuff totally moves the heart of.... stone.
::)
QED. Buuut, enough about me! What's that he was saying about rejectin' and lovin' and behavioural inconsistencies? Huh? I wonder if Jack will respond in kind?
