Who: Ada Crumb, Baron Fitzroy, Roxanne Weasley, any viewers
Where: sound stage, people's TV rooms
When: Wednesday, October 8, 2029, 8pm
What: IC/OOC post.
Warnings: More vulgarity than usual
Ada: "Our last guest, as you know, is renowned for his dodging. This week, it's exactly the opposite. She rolls with the punches, and I expect no different here, please welcome Wasps Keeper, Roxanne Weasley."
Rox walks out with her head up, one hand on her hip, blue lipstick and an expression that says Eff You, Try And Impress Me. This expression makes no sense given that she actually signed up for the show, but hardly anyone knows that, so oh well. She looks at Ada, at the audience, the Baron, etc, with the same bored face, and makes no attempt to look more into the whole thing, to acknowledge cheering, or to speak. (General attitude? This gif) And wearing this outfit:
Ada: "What an interesting look. I'm sure you would fit right in on the East End or in a goth pub, but in most public places, the scene you'd be creating is not the kind that will get you your must needed good publicity. Let's see what we can do about fixing that, shall we?"
She looks sarcastic when Ada starts talking. ‘Interesting’ look? Goth pubs? Good publicity? Clearly good publicity is a rare thing for Rox, and she doesn’t particularly care. She takes off her hat and runs a hand through her hair, making it stand up. “I dress for where I want to go, but suit your fucking self.”
Baron Fitzroy: "A tree! A tree! I need a hole to store my nuts in.
The Baron attempts to climb up Roxanne's leg. Reacting much faster than her sullen-apathetic-teenager attitude makes it seem like she would, Roxanne grabs him quickly, with little expression, and then throws him, looking at Ada the whole time. And maybe says, "You were saying?"
A stagehand manages to get a cushion of air up before the Baron smashed into something but you can tell Ada is not happy.
Blah blah free wardrobe already in Roxanne's size that she can take home with her, she just needs to choose something to wear now.
Roxanne flips quickly through the rack of clothing, looking at the necklines and backs of all the tops. She picks an off-white dress that’s way more feminine than anyone would have expected from her, and with the same bored face she says, “It’s a departure from my usual fucking style.”
((Commercial break!))
Now having done a bunch of things I'm tired of naming, Ada transfigures Roxanne's clothing into stone, then destroys with with a slegehammer into tiny rock pieces (with some magical help, of course)
Roxanne gives a sort of terrifying closed-mouth smile when her clothes are smashed to bits. Just you wait, ‘Enry ‘Iggins.
Time for hair and makeup!
Ada: "You seem to want to be a mixture of low maintenance, at least with your hair length, but to have your own personal style. That's not a bad thing, but when you go out and want to look nice, you don't need a lot of effort to showcase your natural beauty either. Why don't I show you how to work with your features rather than trying to mask them with garish colours?"
Roxanne raises her eyebrows when Ada sums up her style (though still not impressed), rolls her eyes at the idea of going out and wanting to look nice, and looks darkly suspicious at the words ‘natural beauty.’
Roxanne: “Yeah sure, whatever,” she says at the end.
((Commercial))
Time for the big reveal where Roxanne comes out in this dress:
Roxanne sees herself in the mirror and actually looks surprised -- then, almost immediately angry. Without wasting another second she pulls the dress off over her head, rips the bodice in half all the way down to the skirt, throws it on the ground and, pulling out her wand, sets it on fire.
“You can’t fucking change people,” she says, and walks offstage in her underwear and the new shoes, mussing up her hair and taking a cigarette out of her bra as she goes.
((NOTE! The people in the studio audience (Hi, Victoire!) would have seen all of this. And of the Baron probably saying something like "there's my nut-hole" because he's the worst. For TV viewers, however, the cameras were cut around the time that Roxanne started pulling her wand out, and the logo that plays when there's no programming on was played for a few minutes to get things back in order before Ada comes back on, sans Roxanne.))
Ada: Well, I'm glad the shoes were a success at least. I am terribly sorry for the disturbance, and be sure to tune in next week!
Basically, she had her stage face on where she was pretending it either didn't happen or that stuff like that just happens all the time, but she's going to need a lot of retail therapy, lol
