Franco steps out of the dressing room, confidence restored.
Tosses aside the disguise he prepared and slips back on the tailored jacket.
cool boda-bing!

*snaps up the tart* biggrin These are good!
Handler? *laughs* No, I'm a friend of his owner. Velcore doesn't need a handler, just tell him what you want and he'll probably do it. Leash laws also are meant for animals that are not under control. And no, dragons are not included. I've checked. *smiles*

Antonio flinched as the creature opened up its jaws, briefly revealing its full set of long, sharp teeth, and just as quickly snapped them shut around the tart piece. He cleared his throat to cover how unnerved he was by it and casually gathered his briefcase for a low-key last line of defense to shove into the beast's maw if he found himself fighting for his life with it. Despite Kits' insistence that the thing is obedient, he would rather be prepared than let down his guard when thinking of the kind of damage it could do to him.
"I see you must be getting liberal with the budget, then. stare I don't imagine an animal this... exotic comes cheaply." emotion_eyebrow
"Ugh... what more do you want, man? stressed I've cut every corner I could find as it is. It's your sister that's always wanting me to spend more talk2hand You know she wanted me to have a castle built for her? An entire ******** castle! JUST FOR THE SET! Thank ******** Liada took care of that for me, but goddamn..."
His brow furrowed at this piece of information. It certainly wasn't outside big sister's personality to make such lavish requests. Getting her to spend her wealth more wisely was a battle he'd long since given up on and he wasn't about to try revitalizing it here and now.
"Well, just so you know, all the settlements and bribes to clean up your mess will be coming out of your salary and cut for this little pet project Triny has going."
"Oh, come on! scream It wasn't even my fault!" gonk

Settlements and bribes? cat_confused Geez, what did Giovanni do when he was in your body, Tes? Go on a drunken rampage or something?
*stretches his wings open, yawns, and re-folds them on his back*

Exactly that emotion_facepalm You know that convenience store on the road here? Apparently he clobbered a dude there for some jack and twinkies. stressed Totally unnecessary talk2hand If he really wanted his cream filled phallus cakes THAT BAD, I'm pretty sure I had enough in my wallet to cover it rolleyes
*holds his briefcase up as a shield when the creature spreads its wings, cautiously peeking out from behind at Kits as he tries to remain a part of the conversation* sweatdrop
Don't tell me he's looped you into his pitiful lie too. There is plenty of video evidence clearly depicting him as the culprit in various crimes all over town. Everyone has a camera these days, which just makes my job that much harder stressed You have any idea how many cellphones I've had to confiscate and have destroyed? Ugh... and the amount of youtube videos I had to find and report. I haven't even gotten to facebook yet stressed
*crosses his arms and leans back in his chair*
That -does- sound like a royal pain.
You have no idea stare
*bounces his foot on a rung attached to his tall chair while he thinks on the issue during this short lull in conversation. Suddenly he snaps, and glances over at Antonio*
I got it. Viral marketing. Act like it was a publicity stunt to draw attention to the movie. Make people think it was all fake.
That's... stressed ...
*rolls it around in his head for a moment*
... that might actually work...
See? I'm not just a pretty face after all emotion_awesome
It would also save me the trouble of having to additionally cover up for Mr. Giovanni's... *ahem* ... "night on the town". emotion_facepalm
*grins knowingly, leaning in with interest and pretending not to know what he's talking about since Antonio clearly isn't going to accept the body switch story*
Oh? Do tell twisted
That is a private matter that I would rather discuss with Triny first.
*shakes his head sadly, knowing how heartbroken she'd be to find her new husband was actually gay. He'd known Gio for practically his whole life and never once suspected it. The man had hidden it well for all those years and he's not sure why he'd just now be coming out.*

*tries not to laugh as Antonio tries to hide from Velcore*
Hmm, you could set up some actual publicity stuff too. It could make it even more convincing.
*wonders what Tes did* cat_ninja
*stares at Antonio because he's hiding* confused

*Follows Franco, but holds his finger up when he hears his phone ring. He answers with a short “Caio?” and some dude on the other end of the line starts talking about how much he wants to see him again and wants to meet at the club again because there is this Wet T-shirt contest going on this weekend and that he’d FOR SURE win.… Gio hangs up immediately and mutters a string of Italian profanity.* stressed
Franco. I’s gots ta has a nuovo numero di telefono. stressed

Though there was a lot more of a scolding Antonio wanted to give the director, the way that beast was staring at him had him feeling he should get the hell out of there as soon as possible. gonk Of course, he tried his best to remain calm, hoping it couldn't smell his fear ninja
"Excellent idea, Miss Rose. Tes, I leave the task to you. Now if you'll excuse me..." ninja
"Oi! I'm a director, not a producer stressed I don't do publicity s**t!"
By the time the dark elf spoke, Antonio was already walking away, headed for the large red castle. Aside from it being the most likely place to find his sister, it was also the most fortified building to help ensure his safety from that strange creature.
"Then find a producer!" he shouted back and quickly disappeared into the castle.

You know, I think he might be afraid of dragons. Nowhere near as much as Miro, but still... *laughs*
I think so too. He kept hiding behind his little suitcase. neutral

*waves it off*
No big surprise there. He's only human, after all emotion_awesome But at least his reaction to what people like him would consider "supernatural" was generally tame. Better that he's afraid and trying to hide it rather than going on a GODDAMN DRUNKEN RAMPAGE FOR SOME ******** TWINKIES stressed
*nabs the last tart and bites into it bitterly* stare
I seriously have no idea what Gio thought he was accomplishing there, unless his goal was to ruin my reputation. In which case, guess I'd be a hypocrite to fault him for that. ninja

That is true. He did not run away from me like a lot of people do. *sighs when Tes takes the last tart*
Velcore, are you hungry?
*gives Kits a guilty look* No.
Then stop begging. You know Karrie will feed you if you go ask. *sighs* I have no idea what Giovanni was thinking either. What did you do to him, anyway?

Nothing like almost getting him killed, but enough to hopefully get under his skin. I mean, it started out as me just wanting a wax so I didn't sweat like the hairy pig he was when I got that body, but Sergio and Gunter made such a big deal over it that I decided to just ride it out and let Gio deal with the consequences.
I told them that "I", the "I" of course being Gio, was detoxing and they needed to help me stay clean. Relatively harmless, I know, but the two are a couple of busybodies. It wouldn't surprise me if they were to start employing the help of other crew members to make sure he doesn't have so much as a drop of liquor so long as they can stop it.
But the real damage, though... which I suspect is what Antonio caught wind of... after a wax job and makeover, we ended up at this apparently very popular gay bar where I was very generous in handing out Gio's personal cellphone number, not to mention posed for a lot of selfies with other patrons, set him up on almost a month's worth of dates, and may have caught some attention with a bit of ballroom dancing emotion_awesome As Antonio said, everyone has a camera these days.

Well, it's nothing life threatening. Probably more of a blow to his ego than anything else. cat_lol Very annoying too, I'm sure. He'll be dealing with it for a while, I think. cat_surprised That explains the guy who came here looking for Giovanni earlier. *laughs* I couldn't hear everything that they said, but he did say something about a date.

When it comes to guys like Gio, their ego is what you aim for. Any kind of physical damage you do to them will just be shrugged off. Scars and bruises just "build character" in their minds rolleyes Being "emasculated", however, is a fate worse than death. Unfortunately, there's only so much I could do with the time I had, plus the more incriminating possibilities would have just made my own death far more inevitable via the hands of Ryzan sweatdrop
*looks over toward Ry's chair and finds he'd fallen asleep at some point*
Guess that explains why he's been so quiet...

*rolls her eyes* I just don't understand people like that.
*bored, wanders away*
Ryzan could probably come up with some creative ways to punish you if you had done much more. cat_sweatdrop I'm kind of surprised he's able to sleep, it's not exactly quiet here. He must be really tired.
