Audience Approval

 

SETTING

Illybrius's room

 

Sun, Nov 23, 2008; 6.40 PM

 

ORION

Hello Pet.

 

EPIPHANY zaps Orion

 

ILLYBRIUS

What the fuck happened?

 

EPIPHANY

[He said The Word.]

 

ILLYBRIUS

I mean besides that.

 

ORION

A fight. Over Maheone taking something he had no right to according to Akuma.

 

EPIPHANY

[>Implying Akuma makes decisions]

 

ILLYBRIUS

That something being?

 

AKUMA

He had my family's focus gems.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I'd like details, if possible. Vagueness pisses me off right now.

 

EPIPHANY

[But then Corri has to actually come up with details.]

 

AKUMA

He took them from their bodies and kept them.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I see.

 

FLUOU THE TRANSLATION GUY

[Translation: That makes no fucking sense.]

 

EPIPHANY

[ I never said they were GOOD details.]

 

AKUMA

He had no right, which is why I was in his room last night.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Please do not make me exclude your aura from the barrier. We are sensitive to intruders.

 

AKUMA

Them belonged to me.

 

EVRYN

Your writer really cannot words, can she?

 

DREPANON

I thought it sounded okay.

 

DROSSEL

Yeah, me too!

 

AKUMA

He had no right to keep them. It would be like taking Usagi and screwing him without your permission.

 

ILLYBRIUS

 

EPIPHANY

[...]

 

MARIE

Why did she go for THAT metaphor? Is she literally incapable of thinking of a DIFFERENT metaphor?

 

AKUMA

Fine. I'm sorry. It won't happen again but just so you know he threw the first punch at me.

 

EVRYN

What the tits?

 

ILLYBRIUS

I know.

 

EPIPHANY

[Everyone knows Akuma never starts anything.]

 

FLUOU THE TRANSLATION GUY bursts out laughing

 

EVRYN

Okay but Maheone isn't the type to smack someone else around.

 

EPIPHANY

[>implying that Corri gives a fuck about Maheone's characterization.]

 

AKUMA

I'll leave the two of you alone now.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Please do not enter the Temple again. In fact, please do not try to enter Celestia again.

 

EVRYN

You just got banhammered, bitch!

 

SERLEINA

Warf.

 

AKUMA

I understand. I'll obey.

 

EPIPHANY

[At least until Corri finds it inconvenient.]

 

ILLYBRIUS

Have a nice night.

 

EVRYN

And go make me a sandwich.

 

AKUMA

Nive Aishiteru Illybrius Falcon.

 

EPIPHANY

[Fun fact: "ai shiteru" is basically the most awkward, unnatural-sounding way possible to say "I love you" in Japanese.]

["Ai"-love is different from "koi"-love. If you are at the "ai"-love level with someone, you don't need to say it like that, because they already know. You can just say "suki (da) yo".]

[She's also contradicting all the times she's used a corrupted form of "koibito".]

 

EVRYN

I thought she was just a dendrophilliac.

 

[exit AKUMA]

 

ORION

She's gone Pet.

 

EPIPHANY zaps Orion

 

EVRYN

She's gone what?

 

ORION

No. I am not redoing that line. I don't care about your fucking commas.

 

EVRYN

I'm hoping that eventually you'll stop saying The Word altogether.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Very well. I've not known Maheone to be violent.

 

EVRYN

Does no-one listen to my spoilers?

 

OVD

The main cast is contractually obligated to ignore them.

 

EVRYN

Then why do you keep grousing at me for saying them?

 

OVD

Because the audience is not! Unless the episode is ABOUT an Audience member!

 

ORION

She told him that the gems were not his to take and she took them to put with her family's crypts and he said she was being a fool and losing you. Just like he did.

 

EVRYN

Why the fuck were her focus gems not with her family's crypts to begin with?

 

MARIE

Does this mean Fake Maheone is a graverobber?

 

CIN

🎵Graverobber, Graverobber

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother🎵

 

MARIE

I walked right into that one.

 

CIN

🎵Graverobber, Graverobber

Sometimes I wonder why I NEED YOU AT ALL! 🎵

 

DREPANON

And Amber Sweet is addicted to the knife.

 

SERLEINA

Addicted to the knife?

 

DREPANON

Did I fucking stutter?

 

SERLEINA

... You only know that song through memes, don't you?

 

DREPANON

At least I read the SUBTITLES.

 

SERLEINA

NO ONE NEEDS SUBTITLES WITH I, SERLEINA!

 

ILLYBRIUS

She had no right to snoop. Mightn't they have settled it civilly?

 

EPIPHANY

[You do realise this is CORRI writing their actions, right?]

 

REIYA

I don't think Corri would know civility if it smacked her upside the head with Désmoda's frying pan

 

ORION

He told her where to find them and that she could have them.

 

EPIPHANY

[Then why did he take them in the first place? This isn't very well-thought-out.]

 

ORION

So she took them back since they are hers. It was as she was leaving that she said she wouldn't lose you like he did that he slapped her.

 

EVRYN

In that case, I'd say she deserved it.  But, also, the real Maheone would never get violent over something that petty.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Ori, I don't want to cause any pain, but I need to be absolutely sure she'll never know what I'm about to say before I say it.

 

ORION

I swear on my life she will never find out from me.

 

EVRYN

But you're undead. (He's not cool enough to be previously living.)

 

EPIPHANY

[She'll find out from the Corri HiveMind™]

 

ILLYBRIUS

Oh, this isn't any easier the third time around!

 

ORION

You don't care for her do you?

 

EPIPHANY

[How do you get that from "this isn't any easier the third time around"?]

 

EVRYN

Orion probably doesn't WANT him to care for her, because Orion wants Berserker all to himself.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I do, but differently.

 

ORION

She is nothing more than like a sister of a close friend … … …

 

OVD

Read the rest of your line!

 

ORION

But the cue card has a comma!

 

OVD

You don't pause THAT LONG for a comma!

 

JEPH

[And this is why I don't normally correct the script.]

 

ORION

Am I right?

 

EVRYN

Never. Also, hasn't Illybrius fucked her?

 

ILLYBRIUS

Mind your own business!

 

DREPANON

How's your memory? No-one does that on this show.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I have to go for the moment. I'll be back in 43 minutes.

 

ORION

Very well. By then I'm sure things will have settled here.

 

EVRYN

Despite the fact that, as usual, nothing is happening except you two yammering at each other.

 

ILLYBRIUS and ORION kiss

 

ORION

Go on Pet.

 

EPIPHANY zaps Orion

 

FLUOU smacks Orion with the Grammar Hammer

 

ORION

What was that for?

 

FLUOU

This is the Grammar Hammer. I'm going to hit you with it every time you neglect a comma.

 

ORION

But that's not my fault!

 

FLUOU

That's not my problem.
