TABLE 7 - MARCHESE & SANTI - OPEN

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

These people are seated here, underlit by an electric orb on the brocade table cloth, lit from above by cool colored chandeliers. They have champagne glasses and a bottle in the middle of the table, but don't seem very thirsty.

Santi and Marchese chat with relaxed posture. They come off as the least weird people in the room. At least, that's how they seem.

[Kristi is prescribed skeletons]

Trevor -
"May I sit?"

Trevor received welcoming looks, so he takes a seat and addresses the host.

Trevor -
"I assumed you were joking with us at dinner, but I am happy. I enjoy games."

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

                   

Marchese-
"Haha, wonderful! My circle of friends are quite fond of games themselves, but perhaps that's always been a characteristic of the wealthy."

Santi-
"Dad, I think he's GSL, keep your syllable count down. Sorry Trevor. So you're from Kohon?"

[Kristi is prescribed skeletons]

Trevor -
"I am from Kohon. Very good."

Trever briefly cast a glance at the table where the "dangerous looking man" sat.

Trevor -
"Would you mind telling me more about the guests?"

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

Marchese looked like he wanted to speak, but Santi took the lead.

                   
Santi-
"There are all kinds of people here tonight. Artists, businessmen... Most of us are not from Glenland originally either."

Marchese-
"That Gregoire chap knows Kohonese, he should go talk to him."

Santi-
"No, he shouldn't."

Marchese-
*sigh*

Santi-
"So you were the editor for the film, is that your main interest?"

[Kristi is prescribed skeletons]

Trevor -
"My main interest is entomology. I know most people don't like to talk about that."

Trevor saw Leo had gone for a different table. It was time to move, but he still had one more question: Chloë was the only member of their original group that was let in on the rules. What did she know that they didn't?

No. It probably wasn't a good time to ask about that. Marchese especially would be evasive. Trevor says his farewells to the two and leaves the table.

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

This table is open.

"Good evening to you both. This is ah certainly an interesting turn of events. Do y'all interview everyone like this?"

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

                   
Marchese-
"This certainly is not an everyday thing for us. I do hope 'ya all' are enjoying yourselves!"

Santi-
*sigh*

August smiled genially at the attempt at Antearctan lingo.

“Well sure thing, you've done a damn fine job. Although, why are we being assessed individually? Don't ya need a full crew?”

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

           

Santi-
"A crew is made out of its individual members, is it not?"

Marchese-
"It is not to worry... You're quite lovely!"

[∆§Indea§∆]

“Thank you, sir. Well, it's not like we've some kind of hive mentality. We're all individuals it's true, but it's with our combined efforts that the film was made. Even if we had one different person involved, it'd be an entirely different film. At least that's how I see it. Nobody can make a good film on their own. Don't ya like working with others, Santi?”

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

           

Santi-
"As a leader, you must acknowledge some others are more difficult than other others. But it's good of you to defend your people this way. Sometimes a situation arises when you speak ill of someone, later something happens to them, and you have cause to feel bad about it."

Marchese-
"Who said anything bad was going to happen? This is going to be divine. August, tell us about your art - your vision!"

[∆§Indea§∆]

Santi's bleak attitude was picking at August's own. He guessed it was just a teenage doom and gloom rebellious thing though. This line of conversation made him a bit uneasy and the change of topic was more than welcome.

“Gee, I'd hope not. Well sir, I'm trying to create films than define our generation, while resonating with the past if you will. Something more than just banal entertainment, it's needs to be a rich tapestry of emotion, symbology and imagery. I want Antearctos to be seen as more than just a daggy nature show, but also place rich with culture and history. What do ya hope to achieve with your film, being the producer you must have some thoughts?”
