fr: filming emergency preparedness shorts

we're makin' movies!

throughout the week, pru & crew can be seen around the island working on a series of emergency preparedness shorts. the topics of the shorts range from general first aid, CPR and evacuation, to extremely specific situations, like someone falling into a sleep so deep only a kiss from their true love can awaken them, or what to do when faced with an army of baby egg monsters.

while filming making concussions into funcussions, [volunteer 1] slips and gets a nasty knock on the back of their head. pru loves the realism, but the shot itself is kind of fucked, can we do that another two or ten times?

don't lose your booze is about all the dumb shit drunk people can get into, and how to help while keeping your buzz. ellie decides to go method and take a few shots, and there's a beautiful shot of them horking up their lunch that's gonna look great under the title.

the shortest short of all is your egg monster & you: what to do when it inevitably joins its brethren and tries to kill you, in which callie just screams "RUN!" while lulu dies loudly and dramatically from egg monster wounds. the helpfulness of this short has been disputed, but it's better than pru's first idea (eat them before they can eat you).

feel free to say your character participated in any of these shorts, whether they mentioned it ic or not, and make up any topics/titles/shenanigans you want! it's a free-for-all!!

Marty has been doing her best to help out all week. Her form of helping out includes jumping out of nowhere to spook Callie (or anyone else caught in the crossfire) and running toward any screams or yells she hears in case of an accidental boy who cried wolf situation developing.

When she hears "RUN!" she's in the kitchen but rushing outside only takes a few seconds.

	Ellis tries to help as best he can while also prepping for his own PSA debut. When he hears the RUN!, he also runs outside, but then also smushes a bunch of the ketchup packets he'd had in his hand onto his shirt and melodramatically "dies" of an egg monster-inflicted stomach wound, yelling, "Bleerrreggghh! It got me! Save yourselves!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Barrett was also in the kitchen. He runs outside just in time to see Ellis die. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO," he says dramatically in anguish (it actually does trigger him a tiny bit, but he pretends it does not), before his eyes widen in horror as the invisible egg creature that got Ellis leaps from his dead companion to him.

"We should have run," Barrett whispers to Marty as he succumbs to his injuries.

Callie's expression had barely begun to lighten at the sight of Marty, before it became crestfallen at first Ellis' demise, then Barrett's. Her eyes widening with surprise, she clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped.

She fell to her knees and let her arms drop. Breathing raggedly, she solemnly promised, "We will avenge you, my friends. They say," she paused dramatically, "that you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. And I will open a cafe in your honor."

	Marty's posture starts to shift as Callie falls to her knees. She goes through a series of motions that she thinks one might make when turning into a werewolf or being possessed by an egg monster. She waits for Callie to get in her final line before letting out the best and loudest roar she can manage and lunging forward to attack. (Reply to this) (Parent)
