a little kink [the It's Curtains kink meme]

[stagemanagers]

shamelessly ripped from the Dangan Roleplay kink meme

GUIDELINES/RULES:

• All requests- smut, fluff, gen, or otherwise (alternate murders, anyone?)- are welcome so long as it's about It's Curtains. Fic and art fills are all good.

• This is for all rounds of It's Curtains. Intermingled cast requests ("what if so-so and so-so from this and that round met?") are acceptable.

• Stay anon because it's funner that way.

• Use proper trigger/content warnings for sensitive and/or offensive subjects, just like you would in a game proper. If you don't, it will be deleted.

• This is a judge free zone; however, be mindful of character ages, esp. in regards to the younger characters.

• If you do not want your character to be involved with the smut or things that make you uncomfortable please contact me. A list is being prepared to remind everyone.
• Respect player wishes if they ask to not have their character be in smut, or anything out of their comfort zone. Again, comments in violation will be deleted.

Have fun, darlings! If any rules are violated please don't hesitate to to PM this account or alert one of the mods.

The Balladeer waits half an hour, just because it seems polite, and then knocks on the Showrunner's door.

He's invited in, offered a chair. It isn't surprising to hear he's the first visitor. The others were so angry when he introduced himself...but the Balladeer understands. You don't choose your show. And he's perfectly cordial within the limitations given him. It emboldens the Balladeer enough that he doesn't hesitate when he says, "I shouldn't be here. Not like this. You know that, right?"

The Showrunner smiles a little, puzzled. "What do you mean by that? Of course you are."

"No, no - " He leans forward in his chair. " - I'm not meant to be a character. I am from a show about murder, but not this one. There must have been some kind of mistake? I'm just a narrator like you." He doesn't understand how a mistake like that could happen, but it must have. It's obvious. Even without seeing the script, he can tell this whole story is aiming for a lot of character-driven drama. He doesn't fit there. "You need actual people for a role like this one."

But the Showrunner's smile has dropped. "Like...me?" He shakes his head, slowly. "I don't know what you mean by that, but you are meant to be here. And you're not getting out unless you win the game, just like everyone else."

"What? No, Showrunner, listen. The audience isn't going to want to watch - "

But the other man rises from behind his desk. "My name is Hans. And I can't help you with this. Wherever you're from, you're not getting any special privileges here."

That isn't what he meant. It's not like he's happy about leaving these other characters to get killed...but the Balladeer finds himself ushered firmly out of the office. The Showrunner - Hans - uses a tone he knows well. It's how you talk to Guiteau to get him out of your business when you're not prepared to deal with him. He thinks he's crazy.

It's almost like he's not a narrator at all. That's because he isn't.

The Balladeer tilts his head up at the sudden narrative shift. Was that deliberate on someone's part?

It sure was. I was supposed to be the narrator here, before he took over - I'm the real Showrunner. Hush, now, don't let him know I'm still here. He's a nasty one. You know how actors can be.

He does, he supposes. But it's simple enough to talk like this. It's exciting! The Balladeer bounces a little on his heels, moving away from the office. He's never met another narrator before! He didn't think he would, even surrounded by so many strangers from different shows.

It is fun, isn't it? I never thought I'd get this lucky either. Listen, sweetheart, I think we can help each other out. You'd be willing to keep an eye on this little cast for me, wouldn't you? Tell me the stories I'm missing out on? Just until I can figure out a way to make the show work the way it should - and then we'll meet for real...
