Re: [FILL] Larry's Adventures in NaNo-Land Part 11/30
Date: 2011-11-11 10:30 pm (UTC)The last day had gone brilliant. Well, of course it would be, they where filming with Simon, and Simon always meant fun. And it was especially fun when Simon was Death. Because... well, it just was. Simon was rather crazy, he had been everywhere, and that made him extremely good at telling stories, and anecdotes. Some of them was probably just made up on the spot, but they where still hilarious.
Larry was dressed up as a tudor man (he can't say more, he would be fired if he said who he was dressed up as) with an arrow through his head. It reminded him of... that evil guys sidekick from Pocahontas, only Larry was younger (older) and worse (better) looking than that guy.
Though the last day was slower, they got in later, and they would only film one or two sketches. He was met by Simon, already in his wig and make-up. He looked scary, freaky and funny at the same time. Especially since he was still in his modern, green pants. ”Hello dude!” he said. ”Last day today! Sad moment, hope we'll get to do this again next year.”
”Yeah. If BBC can afford my salary that is.” Larry replied. ”So, what do you got in store for us today?”
”Not what's in the script at least, haven't learned it yet.” Simon said, Larry smiled. ”Oh by the way, are you going to come tonight?”
”Of course I am!” Larry said, after realizing that Simon meant the... pub party thing. Where Jim was going to dance and they where all going to get drunk, because, yes, that was what they usually did... after finishing a series, not all the time, that wouldn't be good for Horrible Histories reputation. (CHILDREN'S ACTORS FOR POPULAR TV-SHOW GET DRUNK AND DANCE WHILE RECORDING SERIOUS HISTORICAL STUFF!!)
”Nice, so, tudor today, with Mat, right.” Simon made it sound like he was just saying the obvious, but it was really a question. The man was great, but learned his lines in the last minute.
Larry nodded. ”Yes, with Mat, and you, not sure which one I should avoid more.”
”Mat, man, you should avoid Mat, I read the Matfacts.”
”Those are old, Simon!”
”I am a bit slow, alright, it's not my fault that I have more important things to do than to be on twitter and writing number signs before I write funny things without spaces.”
”It's called a hashtag.” Larry had had a problem with writing words together, it just felt wrong! He also tried to save everything he wrote on the internet.
”What ever, where is Baynton?”
”I think that he is going to come any minute now.” Larry said and sat down. ”He is having lunch with Jim, I suspect that they might be drinking.”
”Typical them, typical men!” Simon said and threw himself down next to Larry. ”Larry.” he said.
”Yes?” Larry said.
”I heard from Martha that you where going to ask Mat out.”
Larry rolled his eyes, but then, what had he thought when he told Martha? He should be glad she didn't put on twitter or rang the news or something. ”Yeah, well... yeah.” was all he could do. ”I sort of figured, what's the worst that can happen?”
Simon looked at him: ”He says no, and you will feel awkward?”
”See I thought about that, if he says no, I will laugh and said I was joking.” Larry said.
”What, are you telling a joke, I want to hear it Larry!” Larry turned around to see Mat standing in the doorway, with Jim right behind him.
”No, I am not, I am going to tell someone that though.” Larry said and smiled. Even though he wanted to sink trough the floor. But Mat could not have heard what he had said first, right?
Re: [FILL] Larry's Adventures in NaNo-Land Part 12/30
Date: 2011-11-12 07:28 pm (UTC)After the last scene they all got dressed in their regular clothes, and out of wigs and make-up, though Mat argued that he should wear the arrow (Caroline said no, it belonged to the studio, not him and bla bla bla remember what happened to something bla bla bla Larry had stopped listening ages ago), shed a couple of tears and then it was time to get going.
They always went to the same place after wrapping up a new series. It was a modern (sort of) pub not far from where the studio, they would all walk their, laughing with each other, cheering and just being generally happy. Because today was not a day for singing and dancing (but when they got drunk, they did it anyway), it wasn't the happiest day of the year, no.
It was a sad time, every time that their little family got split up, because maybe it would be the last time they ever meet each other (to film) again. They would all see each other at the BAFTAs of course, but it just wasn't the same thing. (BAFTAs was more of a fun party where they won stuff, alright now it sounded like he was boasting, but... yeah, if series two won a BAFTA... then series three was worth about... 7 BAFTAs... okay, Larry wasn't really sure how many BAFTAs there were, he didn't count and before they won theirs he had just been bored, and drinking (and making fun of Ben for bringing his cricket hat), and when they had won he was just focusing on that, to happy to do anything at all then feel awesome)
Larry tried not to think about so many things at once, but sometimes he wondered if his brain just didn't realize that sometimes, sometimes it could shut up?
They all got drunk, drinking not only beer but also vodka and other spirits. The pub/bar was dark, and played great music, and it had some sort of dance floor to those people with less self respect and more selfconsience then Larry could dance.
He was alright with sitting there, just taking everything in, and drinking of course. He wondered how he was going to ask Mat, who looked adorable, sitting on the other side of the table talking to Ben, Larry guessed that they were either talking about cricket or some of Mat's favorite bands that no one had heard of. (oh, that was the charm with Mat, it really was, his odd interests and that he would always stand up for the right thing.)
Soon it was only him, Ben, Simon and Mat at the table. Simon was staring into his bottle, like if he had found a new world inside of it. Then, suddenly he looked up at Ben. ”Let's go dance!”
”What?” Ben said.
”I want to dance with you now, Ben!” Simon stood up, all to sudden and pulled Ben with him, down to the dance floor, leaving Larry and Mat all alone. Bastard.
And Larry started talking with Mat, about NaNoWriMo, and about their worldcounts. And then Larry had a shot, and with the alcohol making him much braver he finally said: ”Yeah, well, eh...” Larry began. ”I have been thinking... and uh, would you like to go out with me.”
It broke every rule he had ever read in his sisters magazines, he should have casually asked Mat if he wanted to grab a coffee, now he sounded like he wanted to get married and get a house together.
During the few seconds that passed Larry regretted what he had said a million times and another million times he said that it would be okay. And then Mat smiled. ”Yes, yes I do want to go out with you Larry. I know a great restaurant, what about tomorrow?”
”Sure.” Larry said, well, that went great, didn't it?
