In order to take my mind off contemplating the darkest potential storyline I have ever considered writing, I present to you:

Outtakes!

From: Drifting
Scene: Drift pulling at the stuck log

He threw all his weight against the ropes, straining against that Eli-damned tree… and the knots around the tree slipped! Drift falls in a tumbling roll, the lines whipping around his taur body, tangling in the mud and sticks and fallen debris. The samoyed taur comes to rest on his side amidst gales of laughter from the filming crew, struggling and flopping like a landed fish, his hindpaws and hands tangled and tied in the mess. "Hey! Quit laughing and get me out of this!" "Cut!"

From: Drifting
Scene: The marketplace

Drift is stalking through the crowd, with looks that could kill. Somebody backs up a bit too far, and goes right through the stone-painted canvas wall of one of the set buildings. RIIIP! Crash! "Cut!"

From: Drifting
Scene: Drift jumping the cart

Drift jumps… and clips the age-regressed driver in passing, tumbling him out of the seat. Shouts of alarm are heard from the film crew, and one of the cameramen races up to check on the boy, but he's okay. "Wow," he quips as he gets back into the seat for another take. "Would that be a close encounter of the furred kind?" "Cut!"

From: Drifting
Scene: The baths

Misha sneaks toward Drift with the icy pitcher of water, but slips midway and dumps the cold water on himself just before going under. He comes up sputtering, coughing, and gasping! "Holy -shit-, that's cold!!!" Drift is laughing so hard he falls in himself. "CUT! Somebody get me an aspirin!"

From: Drifting
Scene: Drift running into the sign

This outtake is a montage of clips. Drift running into the sign. Misha running into the sign. The sign falling down after it gets bonked. One of the microphones hitting the sign. More Drift running into the sign. An outraged taurform Drift looming furiously over the leonine director: "How many damn times do I need to hit this damn thing?!? It -hurts-!" "Cut!! Everybody take five!" The director reaches over and chugs from a bottle of Mylanta. Drift storms off to his trailer.

From: Drifting
Scene: Drift bowing to Caroline

Another montage, of about eight tries before Drift manages to get the bow right without losing his balance. Cheers and applause from the crew when he finally gets it right.

From Drifting:
Scene: Lindsey yelling to an offscreen Drift

"Drift, you crazy mutt! Get back here! And quit jumping those carts!" *CRASH!!!!* Lindsey winces. "Oh, ow, that's gotta hurt." "CUT!!! Somebody get this crazy mutt off me!!!!!!"

That's all for now. I might post more later, if I feel the need. Feel free to post your own!

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: Merai and Raven inspect Daren's changing body

Merai pulled the covers back to Daren's waist. He was still wearing the tunic he'd had on when he fell off the wall, and the blood on the garment had dried to a dull reddish black. "No extra hair on his arms, either," Merai announced. She frowned, blinked, looked again. "As a matter of fact, there seems to be less than before."

"And his torso? What of that?" Raven asked casually.

After a moment's hesitation, Merai reached down and carefully unbuttoned the tunic, which the healers had refastened after Merai's healing made further work in that area unnecessary. She fumbled on the first and fourth buttons, but finally got them all undone. Steadying her hands for a moment, Merai pulled open the two sides of the shirt—

—which exposed the lacy red bra Daren was wearing underneath.

Merai doubled over laughing. Daren sat straight up in bed, exclaiming, "All right! I admit it! Sometimes I just want to feel PRETTY!"

"CUT!"

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: Merai and Raven inspect Daren's changing body

(Take 2)

Steadying her hands for a moment, Merai pulled open the two sides of the shirt—

And gasped.

They were small, they were unassuming, but those were most definitely breasts growing on the body of Merai's best friend. The nipples looked swollen, tender, and entirely too large for a boy.

Merai looked back at her teacher in shock, and the other woman nodded solemnly. "You may inspect the rest, if you so desire."

Merai hesitated again. Finally she leaned in close to one of Daren's nipples, stared at it intently — then stuck out her tongue and ran it around the aureole in a few quick circles. Daren gasped and swatted her away, giggling. "Get back, wench!"

Merai laughed wickedly. "Yep, tastes like a girl, too!"

Daren shook his head mournfully. "My last day on the set, and NOW she wants me!"

"CUT!"

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: TGed Daren wakes up

Slowly looking down at her body, finding the robe disguised most of the details, Daren examined her hands with a worried expression. Abruptly she began a detailed search of her body with her hands — running them along the arms, eliciting a gasp as she reached her breasts, and finally sliding them down into the cleft between her legs. After a few seconds of careful, then desperate probing, Daren suddenly collapsed back against the headboard, her mouth hanging soundlessly open.

" 'Tis gone, Da," she moaned, eyes wide in shock and rapidly filling with tears. " 'Tis gone! All gone!"

"Oh, come off it," Merai said casually. "There wasn't all that much down there, anyway."

"I—" The female Daren cracked up, her lines forgotten. She looked up at Merai and shook her head. "He's gonna bloody kill you if he ever sees this…"

"CUT!"

---

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: The Dawn Sacrifice

Kneeling down before the altar table, Merai dipped her fingers into the incense jar, scooping out a small measure of the fragrant powder and letting it run off her hand into the bowl-like depression before her. She placed the candle in the center of the bowl, pressing it down into the small mound of incense. Then, taking the dove in her left hand and the blade in her right, she held both over the bowl, and paused.

Then, reciting from memory, Merai spoke out clearly in the words of the Old Tongue:

"Nemmë Lothanasi; maremmë i enemabmala—" she spat and rolled her eyes. "Mwah hey, I can't talk today!"

"CUT!"

<Take 2>

"Nemmë Lothanasi; maremmë i enessë ba'neva a enema pelda."

The crew began cracking up off stage.

"What? Did — oh, geez, I just said 'enema', didn't I?"

"CUT!"

<Take 3>

"Nemmë Lothanasi; maremmë i enessë ba'neva a únemmë pelda."

She paused.

"I got it right that time, didn't I?" she asked, looking around. "Okay, I can NOT remember what comes next…"

Off screen, Raven chortled.

"CUT!"

<Take 4>

"Nemmë Lothanasi; maremmë i enessë ba'neva a únemmë pelda. Nemmë Calimarimbë; caremmë mara i enessë rukia. Nemmë Tirimbë Metammurava; á ter— termite? Tiramisu? Terry Pratchett?"

The crew began laughing again. Merai looked at the model bird in one hand and the knife in the other.

"Fuck it," she said, and chopped off the bird's head.

"CUT!"

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: Merai goes to visit the TG-ed Daren

Merai regarded her thoughtfully. "You've not been kind to yourself, Daren," she said. "Methinks you haven't eaten much, to judge from your complexion, and 'tis clear you have not bathed — nor even taken off that robe."

"'Tis not my body," the girl muttered. "What care I what happens to it?"

"It is your body, Daren," Merai answered gently. "This is what you are, now. We knew that something like this would happen one day. Why not at least clean yourself up and see the beauty of this form for what it is? You may find 'tis not so bad."

"Do you not understand?!" Daren shouted suddenly, rolling towards Merai onto her hands and knees. "I do not want to see! I do not want to know! And I do not want to be beautiful!" She spat the word like venom.

Seizing a handful of Merai's robe, she pulled her childhood friend towards her angrily.

The two friends stared at each other a long moment.

Then Daren broke out into song: "I know … all there is to know about THE CRYING GAME!"

Merai let go of her and stumbled back, laughing.

"I've had my share of THE CRYING GAME!"

"CUT!"

From: Rites of Ascendancy
Scene: Daedra'kema in Donny's pub

The young man sat down beside the woman, chuckling softly as he looked down at the mastiff. Donny brought them their drinks without another word, and they settled down to talking quietly between themselves.

Daria, meanwhile, was just tasting her first sip of Donny's brew.

"What's it taste like?" Merai asked.

The redhead rolled it around in her mouth for a moment, swallowed, and considered.

"Mmm… beer," she said, in her best impression of Homer Simpson.

Merai snorted.

"CUT!"

More later, if I get inspired. :)

From: Temper
Scene: Intro- Drift Throws a Temper Tantrum, Take 4

Drift slams the door open… and the sign falls again, this time on Drift's foot. Drift cuts loose with such a swear that it's bleeped out even in the uncensored version, picks up the sign, and -hurls- it with all his might down the hallway. A loud crash is heard, followed by a lot of really expensive-sounding shatters. "CUT!! And somebody get me more Mylanta! Three bottles, extra strength!"

From: Temper
Scene: In Coe's infirmary

Coe looks up from Drift's makeup-covered hand to inspect Akkala's Mark, when he starts laughing. The camera zooms in to find a sticker in the Mark's place, reading 'This Space for Rent'. "Cut!"

From: Temper

From: Temper
Scene: Outside the Temple Doors, Take 23 (The label 'Outside the Temple Doors' has been crossed out and replaced with 'Wanderer Fills the Blooper Reel')

From: Temper
Scene: Inside the Temple

Raven can be seen stooped down and fuzzling Wanderer, both wolves wagging happily. "Aren't you a handsome fuzzy woofy?" she croons, nuzzling Wanderer affectionately. "Yes, you are! Yes, you are!" "Um, Raven… we're rolling." "You're WHAT???"

From: Temper
Scene: Inside the Temple, The Explanation, Take 1

Drift is flawlessly reciting his explanation. "…The next thing I knew, my hand was burned and my voice was gone." Everyone pauses. "CUT!" "What?" "Didn't you read the script change this morning?

From: Temper
Scene: Inside the Temple, The Explanation, Take 2

Drift is reciting his explanation, but his eyes are watering and his nose is twitching violently. "The next thing I- I knew- I- Ah-chooo!!!" "Cut!! Drift, that was way too early!" "Well- ah-choo- don't make me snort so much pepper next time! Choo!!" "Okay, everybody take five!" The director walks across-camera, wild-eyed and tugging at his mane with one hand, a nearly empty bottle of Mylanta clutched convulsively in the other.

From: Temper
Scene: Inside the Temple, The Apology

Raven nods regally after hearing Drift's apology and steps forward to commune with Akkala… but she trips on the hem of her robe and falls into Drift's arms. Drift smiles, waggles his eyebrows outrageously, and says, "Well, it looks like my prayers have been answered," just before planting a big, wet smooch on the she-wolf's lips! "Cut!" Laughter and woo-woos are heard from the camera crew. "Somebody call Wanderer and tell him Drift's making moves on his girl!" Raven breaks the kiss and slaps Drift, but then starts laughing and pulls him down for another short kiss. "CUT! "You rogue," she scolds. "How long have you wanted to do that?" Drift grins. "Since your very first camera appearance." He rubs his cheek where she slapped him and grins wider. "Totally worth it."

From: Temper
Scene: Drift's exit from the Temple, Take 1

Drift draws himself up to his full height, the camera zooming in on his face as he starts his lines. He suddenly jumps and yelps, and an angry growling is heard over off-screen laughter.

Drift opens his mouth to start his rant, but can't hold back the giggles have ruined the past two takes. "Cut!!" "I'm sorry," he says between laughs. "I can't help it. Make him stop twitching his arm like he's going to pull that sign again." "Donnie!"

From: Temper
Scene: Coe's Infirmary, The Hangover

A montage of Drift trying to roll only halfway out of the bed and failing, going right over onto the floor. A subtitle pops up: 'Yes, Drift actually got hung over for this scene.'

From: Temper
Scene: The Watch headquarters, Take 1

The sergeant pulls Drift down to her level by his bellyfur, and he gives her a full-on puppy-eyes, complete with trembling lip.

From: Temper
Scene: The Watch headquarters, Take 2

The sergeant pulls Drift down to her level by his bellyfur, and he gives her a full-on puppy-eyes again. This time, she reaches up onto her desk and pulls down a thick sheaf of papers, which she rolls up and threatens Drift with, the dog cowering with a yipe! "Bad puppy!" she says amidst the laughter of the crew. "Quit wrecking my scene!" "Hey, boss, aren't you going to call a cut?" "Hell, no! I'm waiting for her to whop him! Fire away, Betty! I'll toss in a bonus!"

More outtakes on next DVD.

Now you've got ME doing this!

From Snips & Snails:
Scene Chapter 5:

"What are you?" Charles asked out loud.

The automaton paused briefly and looked at the confused rat. Those blue eyes seemed to sparkle with life and intelligence. "Not the one," it said in a quiet voice and shook it's head. Then it looked straight up following some unseen object overhead.

Madog leaps up off camera and comes down with a microphone in it's mouth along with a good portion of the boom it had been attached too.

"NO! NOT THE MICROPHONE AGAIN!" the director shrieks. "CUT!" He walks away shaking his head. "I should have stayed in radio."

From: "To Steal a Tome"
Scene: Virmir finally asks directions

Adult-fox Virmir wanders the halls of the keep for hours before finally asking a dog morph guard where the library is. The dog places a paw behind his head and says, "Well the placement of everything here is determined by our guardian spirit, Kyia. To get where you want to go, all you need to do is think of the place while walking and eventually—"

"CUT!!"

"What? But that's how it works!"

From: "First Day"
Scene: Virmir's abilities are tested

Child-fox Virmir totally destroys his first opponent, a novice mage, by throwing nothing but fireballs at her. His next opponent opponent steps into the ring.

Narrator-Virmir says in the background, "My next opponent was… a tall man wearing a white martial arts uniform…?"

Ryu from Street Fighter steps into the arena, tying a red bandanna around his head. He bows to Virmir, then proceeds to throw an endless stream of blue fireballs at him, bellowing "Hadouken!!" each time. Virmir runs around the arena with his arms flailing, screaming, "What in BLAZES?!?!"

Zagrosek steps into the arena clad in his black Sondeki robes, his face twisted into a maniacal grin and his arms folded. Everyone falls dead silent.

He looks at the camera and sneers, "You will forget."

*Everything* goes black.

Okay, here's one of my own.

From: "Lineaments of Coming Night"
Scene: Rickkter vs. Zagrosek

Zagrosek grinned just then and spun his Sondeshike forward, pitting itself between Rickkter’s two blades. He favoured the raccoon with a mirthless leer and nodded his head. “Impressive.” Rickkter twisted his blades forward, and then thrust both of them up at the same time, neatly pinching the end of the Sondeshike and if not for Zagrosek’s quick reflexes, would have yanked it from the man’s hands. “Most impressive!” he amended and then swept his freed staff under the raccoon’s legs.

Rickkter jumped over the staff, and drove the katana at the man’s unprotected chest. Zagrosek twisted backwards with a heave and then tried to bring his staff back around for another blow. Rickkter ducked that and chortled, “Yeah, whatever, Darth."

Zagrosek blinked in surprise and the raccoon swiped him off of his feet. Rickkter grinned, "You'll find I'm full of surprises!"

"CUT!!!"

From: Temper
Scene: Washing dishes

Drift drops a dish in the water, splashing himself in the face. He coughs fitfully, and then sneezes… and blows a soap bubble with his nose. It takes three tries for the director to stop laughing long enough to yell cut.

From: Temper
Scene: The Theft

David, the greyhound thief, makes a try for Drift's pocketed ring. Drift jumps, a shocked expresssion on his face, mirrored on David's as the greyhound hastily pulls his hand back and ducks Drift's whistling right cross. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know your pocket had a rip!"

From: Temper
Scene: The Chase, Take 1

(A special note pops up on the screen: This outtake was filmed with a battery-operated personal video recorder.)

Misha yells, "Now, Madog!", but nothing happens. Everybody pauses, and Misha repeats the cue. Still no Madog. People start looking for him. David announces that he's not down the alley. "Madog? Has anybody seen-" Beeooooow. Every single light in the studio dies except for emergency evacuation lights. "What the?" says the director. Misha sighs from the darkness. "Madog, have you been chewing on the power cables again?" "Um… oopsie?"

From: Temper
Scene: The Chase, Take 2

Misha lifts David by the shirt, and pins him against a wall. "You -vill- tell us vhat ve vish to know. Ve have vays of making you talk."

Misha lifts David by the shirt, and pins him against a wall. "So tell me, punk, do you feel lucky?"

"Cut!"

From: Temper
Scene: The Chase, Take 6

Misha lifts David up by the shirt, and pins him against the wall. He grins suddenly and switches his grip from David's shirt to David's whiskers. "Shall I make a wish?"

"Damn it, Misha! Stop ad-libbing!"

From: Temper
Scene: The Chase, Take 9

The director can be heard yelling even before the scene starts. "So help me, if anybody starts laughing or ad-libs or in any way screws up their lines this time, I'm going to fire the lot of you and do all of this in CG! And -action!-"

Misha lifts David up by the shirt and pins him against the wall. Or rather, right -through- the wall as the backdrop tears.

"Cut! Fine!! Just hold him up! Don't put him against a wall! Got it?!"

From: Temper
Scene: The Chase, Take 10

Everybody gets their lines right. Everybody gets their motions right. Nothing falls down. But, mid-scene, a jet plane flies low overhead. The director starts sobbing. The assistant director, a coyote, calls for a 15-minute break and leads him away.

From: Temper
Scene: Taking David to the Watch, a scene that didn't make it into the DVD

David, tied up and slung across Misha's back behind Drift, is making excuses about how this isn't his fault or his idea when he starts slipping off the foxtaur's back and lands with a splat in a puddle. The assistant director, now the director, calls cut. "Let's just cut that whole scene out… but save that for the blooper reel, okay?"

From: Temper
Scene: Back at the infirmary. Again. Take 1.

Coe is bandaging Drift's foot and yelling at him. "Didn't I tell you to stay off that foot as much as possible? Didn't I tell you what might happen? Didn't I- oh, hell." Not only did he flub his line, but he just got his hand tangled in the bandage for good measure.

"Cut!"

From: Temper
Scene: Back at the infirmary. Again. Take 2.

Coe is yelling at Drift again. "Your toes -were- cracked. -Now- they're broken. You're looking at a month and a half of recovery time. For the -last- time, stay -off- them. If I see you walking with anything other than a cane or a crutch for the next six weeks, I will -personally- tie you to your bed. Got it? And no shifting. Period."

"You'll tie me to my bed?" asks Drift. "Don't you think that'll ruin our rating?"

"Cut!"

From: Temper
Scene: Back at the infirmary. Again. Take 3.

"You can thank me by staying -off- that-" Brian's growl is interrupted by a crunching noise. The camera pans down to see Madog chewing on the leg of a bed.

"Aaugh!" yells the director. "Madog, stop chewing the scenery!"

From: Temper
Scene: Drift's room, Take 1

Drift flops down on his bed… and goes right through to the floor with a yipe when the supporting ropes snap, only his feet visible above the bedframe.

"Diet time, Drift!" calls the director.

From: Temper
Scene: Drift's room, Take 2

Drift's ears flip back and he looks up as if he can't believe he'd heard Misha right. "Go into the chapel of the Ecclesia? Into the viper pit? I don't think so, brother. Sure, they -say- they're all nice and friendly, but I've had family burned at the stake down south. I trust the Ecclesia about as far as I can throw them."

Misha frowns and everybody waits. Nothing happens. Misha leans back in his chair. "Madog? What're you doing in there?"

Madog belches, the scrap entirely eaten, and the bucket, too. "Mmmm. Yummy!"

"Cut!"

From: Temper
Scene: The Dream

Akkala leans down to whisper in Drift's ear, and he quickly darts his head over to smooch her on the nose. He then rolls hastily off the stretcher he'd been brought in on and darts away with a "Woohoo! I'm cured!"

Fin.

From: Merely The Beginning, Ch1
Scene: Marthan needs a miracle worker: Take 1

"The engineering command team left last year." Marthan took a good look at the girl, and realized that Melony might be able to help, and that he needed some help, bad. "See what you can do."

"Aye, I can do it capt'n. I'd do it in 4 hours, but… you don't have four hours, so I'll do it in 20 minutes." Melony adlibs it with a scotty accent.

Richson can only groan from the Director's Seat.

"Well… err…. I guess… hey, wait a minute! You're not supposed to be scottish, cut that out!"

"Cuuuut…"

From: Merely The Beginning, Ch1
Scene: Marthan needs a miracle worker: Take 2

"Well, captain, you'll need a good amount of unobtainium, a warp transinducer flux capacitor, a couple of polarization coils…"

"Melony?"

"Yes?"

"That's not your line, or what he actually needs to fix the ship."

"I know. I also know you just ruined your own cut."

Head-smack. "Cut… just cut…"

CUT!

The score,” Comes Drifts’s voice from off screen. “Sign 1, Misha nothing!”

Standing up too quickly Misha smacks his head into the sign AGAIN! Earning still more swearing louder then before.

“That’s it I’ve had it with that damn sign! She’s coming down!” Misha hefts the axe ominously.

“That’s not the real axe!” a voice shouts off screen. “That’s the rubber one!”

The fox swings the axe which bounces off the sign and hits him in the head. Misha drops the axe and grabs his head. The axe lands on his right foot. He lets go of his head and grabs his sore foot as he hops around on the other cursing all the time.

“The score,” Comes Drifts’s voice again. “Sign 2, Misha still nothing!”

The sign itself drops free and lands on Misha’s left foot and Misha curses in several languages.

“Sign 3, Misha still nothing! The winner by knockout! The sign!”

-Everybody- hates that sign! Drift, Adòn Naharél (Oberon Snowcat), Misha… Adòn/Oberon has actually asked for permission to attack that sign on-screen!

I never thought it would become such a running gag to brain oneself on that sign. :)

More of Alliance Command!

From: Merely The Beginning, Ch 5
Scene: The old guard & and a new upstart. Take 1

"You need to learn not to play pool with an engineer. You'll always loose." Melony lined up her shot, her knowladge of engineering and physics doing her jack squat as Davison reached over and goosed her rear. The pool stick goes into the table, and the cue ball goes flying, to smack someone in the head, starting a bar fight. Melony turns around and breaks the stick over Davison's head, while Richson and Akalia both groan.

"CUUUUUUUUUUT!"

From: Merely The Beginning, Ch 5
Scene: Old guard, and a new upstart. Take 2

Melony finished off the 8 ball, and looked to Davison, smugness on her face. "You ought to quit now. Any more losses and I'll end up owning the Metamor herself!" Her quip got Davison going.

"I'll take that bet!"

(10 minutes later…)

Davison slowly and grudgingly handed over the entire keyring to the main bridge functions, and the primary ship ignition keys. "Me and my big fat mouth."

Richson just stood to one side, liking this blooper. "Now you know why Lando only came in in episode 5. CUT!"

From: Merely The Beginning, Ch 5
Scene: Old guard, and a new upstart. Take 3

"This is our old adventures, revisited. It's the glory days of the Salu again, on a larger scale and scope. The days of exploring the frontier of the galaxy, for survival and for the sheer heck of it. It's our time to shine once again. Maybe that's why we were called back from oblivion at this time." Davison realized that the nagging doubt that had been bugging him since the invasion of Earth was at last gone. He was at peace with the universe, and he wasn't going to let it slip away. "Say, speaking of the Salu, what did you do with Richson's old baby? I haven't heard of anything on her part for 25 years."

"I'll plead the Fifth Amendment, and leave it at that."

Richson choose that moment to fly the old ship past the windows of the lounge, broadcasting a mexican fiesta song on all channels as he past. Everyone looks back to the director's chair to find it empty. No-one had even seen him leave.

Davison turned to Akalia, both shrugged.

"I knew that he was good, but…" Akalia shrugged in response to Davison's puzzlement.

"His loss. CUT!"

Scene: Crazy Like a Flying Fox, Take 1

"I don't suffer from insanity," Alexis says with a jaunty grin and a devil-may-care toss of her head. "I- eek!" She slips and goes clear over backwards into the mud. Drift laughs until she yanks his ankle out from under him, toppling him down to join her. George laughs. "Tonight, on the Scrying Network: Mud Wrestling at Metamor Keep!" Misha can be heard offscreen at the same time, an audible grin in his voice. "The score: Alexis 1, Drift zero!"

Drift turns away from the camera toward the Keep after George tells him that Alexis drew smiley faces in mud on the back of his head. Apparently, that's not all she did, because written across his back in mud is 'FLUFFY PUPPY'. "Alexis 2, Drift still zero!" "How'd she do that?"

Scene: Double Date

Alexis, instead of just stealing a smooch, wraps an arm around the back of his neck to keep him close, spreading her other wing over to hide from the cameras. The samoyed wraps her in his arms for a few moments, tail wagging while the wolf whistles start, but after ten seconds he starts making muffled protesting noises and slapping the ground with an open hand while the other pushes at Alexis, trying to get her to let go. When she finally does, the samoyed sits up, gasping for air. "Good Lord," he pants, "I think she sucked out a filling!"

Xavier steps in front of the camera and smiles. Some people talking in the background make it a little difficult to understand as, with just the slightest hint of smugness, he says, "My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, for not having any outtakes from 'Peace and Quiet' for you to see." He twitches his ears in irritation when someone starts laughing, but soldiers on, spreading his hands slightly with a 'what-can-you-do?' smile as he continues, "I cannot help it that I always speak my lines corre-" A loud 'bang!' of something falling over makes the black leopard flinch, and his ears lay flat as he whirls and yells off-camera, his precise, aristocratic speech vanishing in a thick Bronx accent, "'Ey! I'm talkin' 'ere!! Y'wanna shut it, ya lousy-"

Snickers break out from behind the camera as Xavier freezes, and then sags, shuts his eyes, and facepalms. "I don't suppose I could get you to forget you recorded that, Frank?" he asks, once more in that precise tone.

The camera view wags side to side.

The leopard sighs.

Every so often I end up writing a really quick bit of idiocy on the IRC. Since certain foxes think they should be preserved for posterity, I guess I'll start posting them here.

Inspired by a discussion of using Dragon Dust (gun powder) in bombards, and then in giant cartoon bombs carried by dragons, lit by their breath weapon, and then dropped.

---

Lutin A: "Dragon—! Huh — why is the thing flying off?"

Lutin B: "Got me." "Oh crap, it dropped something!"

"Better not be crap again — whoever sez dragons don't fly never got crapped on by one."

"Dive for cover!"

*metal ball with hissing wick thumps into the ground, bounces once, then sinks into the mud*

"What the hell is this?"

"Got me? New dragon game?"

"Metamoran's are SO stupid sometimes!"

*wick vanishes into ball*

"Stupid game if you ask—" *EARTH SHATTERING KABOOM*

Back at the keep. Misha: "I hope the dragons remembered the Aludium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator."

Re: Outtakes

Another bit inspired by the bombard discussion…

---

The Duke clasped his furred robes tighter. Another wacko… How'd he gotten so far— Misha of course.

The Duke sighed, his breath puffing out into big clouds of mist as he looked around. His immediate staff huddled beside him, and about 100 yards away the newest wacko was shovelling some powder — dragon dust as the Duke recalled — into a huge cast iron barrel burried in the mud of a small rise just outside of Euper.

Misha, of course, was standing right beside, so eager he was almost vibrating.

Who knew that a giant foxtaur could /vibrate/?

Finally, the wacko and Misha heaved on the rough wooden crane and lowered a massive roughly shaped hunk of limestone into the barrel. It was so big that the Duke was just a /little/ impressed. If it could have /that/ as far as trebuchet could heave something smaller, there just /might/ be some use i nthis particular wacko.

With a clang audible other the mutters around him and the whine of a rising gust of the icy wind, the boulder slammed down into the barrel of this contraption — what was it called — right, a /bombard/.

The Duke watched as the wacko had to physically drag Misha to a minimum safe distance.

"Fire in the hole!" the wacko shouted out.

THere was a spark of light, and then silence. Muffled cursors, more striking, another spark, and this time a faint hiss. The wacko fled, whilst Misha just stood there, hopping from paw to paw to paw to paw.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Huge clouds of black cloying smoke blasted out of the— /bombard/ in all directions, obscuring everything. The Duke coughed, everybody coughed and gagged.

The icy wind blow the block cloying clouds of ash and dust away.

The Duke stared. The /bombard/ was still there, still smoking. The boulder had landed, /maybe/ ten feet away. As to Misha—

There was a Misha-shaped hole in the mud, but it was empty. Instead a mud and ash covered Misha was dancing around the bombard, shouting out YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!

The Duke just sighed—

Ok, my turn to try outtakes.

From: New Lessons
Scene: In the Forge

Gordon walks over to the Forge and begins to try lighting the fire. After several failed attempts he leans further into the forge and asks, "Did somebody forget to turn on the gas?" "Cut."

(Take two) Reaching into the forge Gordon clicks the starter and is instantly rewarded as the entire forge is filled with billowing flames, "To Much Gas, TO MUCH GAS!" "Cut!"

(Take three) Carefully reaching for the ignition Gordon tries starting the fire one more time, "Um, I think the batteries are dead."
Daniel asks offstage, "Why aren't we using real coal again?" "Cut."

From: New Lessons
Scene: Lutin Camp

Lyra blasts the camp with lightning but instead of blasting everything away all the tents become instantly static charged and cling like togas to the remaining lutins as Ivan and Elena charge into the camp. Looking at Ivan, the leader says, "Et tu, Brutus?" "Cut."

From: New Lessons
Scene: After the Fight

Walking over to his sword Gordon tries to wrench it from the tree. According to script, it stays stuck. After watching him strugle for a time Ivan reaches up and atempts to pull it out, this time it really doesn't budge. "What the heck?" says Ivan pushing a little harder. After every one, including the crew, try their hand the cammera pans out to see Ivan running at the tree with a sledge hammer and smashing it into the hilt. The cammera zooms back in on the sword which is now bent at a right angle, … but still in the tree. "Somebody get another sword from props, and lets find another tree - not an oak this time."

Edmund slapped Stealth on the face with a nice chocolate, chocolate chip muffin.

"'Snuffleable'?" Drift asks with an amused chuckle.

Alexis giggles and buries her nose in the fur of his neck, sniffing loudly. "My fluffy snuffleupagus."

Alexis stops playing with the roof tiles and starts playing with Drift's chest fur. "Now, would you please take off your-"

Drift yelps. "Ow!"

"What the-" starts the director, but Alexis answers the question by tugging at her claws, which have gotten entangled in the samoyed's fur.

"Cut! Somebody get makeup in here with some scissors!"

"Not the scissors!" Drift yells, jerking back and falling off the roof. "OW-aaagh!! Oof!"

Alexis blinks, and holds up her fingers with two tufts of white fur on them. "Um, I think he's loose." She looks over the side of the roof. "Good call on setting up the stunt mats, sir."

Alexis offers Drift a hand up after her crash landing. When she pulls him up, he loses his balance, slips, and slides off the roof onto the stunt mats below. WHUMP! Over the laughter of the crew, Drift can be heard saying, "After this, I swear I am -never- doing roof scenes again."

…and the power goes out. "Madog!" yells the director.

"Not me," replies the fox.

The director sighs. "Okay, somebody go see if we tripped a breaker… Alexis, you can do that echolocation thing, right?"

"I'm a fruit bat, Michael. Fruit bats don't echolocate. I have to feel my way around the same as everyone else." A yelp is heard that sounds like Drift, followed by a giggle from Alexis. "Feels pretty good this way."

The director groans. "When the power's back on, somebody go find the old director's stash of Maalox, will you? I think I'm going to need it."

Scene: Drift and Misha at the Wall

Drift has just completed his first lap when Misha joins him. What's even more startling than the fox's sudden appearance is that it's accompanied by a musical sting.

"Cut! Sound, what the hell is going on up-" The coyote director twists around in his chair (to a whooshing sound effects cue), and the camera pans around to the mongoose in the sound booth having the time of his life pushing all sorts of shiny buttons.

"Whee!" says the mongoose over a crash of thunder, a giddy grin plastered on his face and a fistful of empty Pixi stick wrappers lying next to a coffee mug nearby. The other two sound techs look away guiltily. One belatedly slides a box of Pixi sticks out of view to the sound of recorded laughter.

Scene: Drift and Misha at the Wall

"Working with the building crews again, are you?" Misha asks.

Drift pulls out a PDA from a vest pocket. "That's Tuesday and Thursday- Oh, hell." He slows to a stop and puts the PDA away. "Sorry. Reflex."

The director leans forward in his chair and holds out his hand. "You know the penalty for bringing modern equipment on set." Drift sighs and digs out a twenty-dollar bill and gives it to the director, and then turns off the PDA and hands it over as well. The twenty goes into the director's pocket, the PDA on a small table next to him. "Okay, people, back in your places, please?"

Drift leaps for the eaves of the building he's going to pull himself up on, shifting at the same moment, and splats into the wall!

Drift is recovering from his nutmeg-induced seizure, with Edmund, Egland, and Saulius around him, all under an awning with rain coming down outside. The two Watchmen step under the awning to arrest Drift, but the bison's horns get caught and rips the awning, bringing water pouring down on him.

Forest Scene, Take 2

Coming upon the scene of carnage Murikeer draws up short upon finding a crowd already waiting on him. Akabieth, Zagrosek, Vinsah, and half of the Patriarch's retinue. The camera turns on him.

"Happy birthday!!!"
"It's not my birthday." he protests. With a grin Zagrosek pushes him out of the way and presents a sodden birthday cake to Llyn.

Sorrows: Balcony scene

Vinsah steps up behind Murikeer and lays hands upon his head. With a yelp Muri jerks his head away.
"Cut!"
"Owww, makeup!" Murikeer says, rubbing his head.
"What?" Vinsah standing there with his hands held up as if he'd grabbed something hot.
"Get a manicure! Those claws are sharp!"

Balcony scene, take 2

Vinsah lays his hands on Murikeer's head and when he backs away has something dangling from a finger; Murikeer's eyepatch.

After laying on hands Vinsah steps back and Murikeer tries to rise, then falls on his butt because Vinsah's standing on his tail.
"Aaaagh! Cut!"

Leaping through the window to escape Ricktter's wrath Muri's heel slips and he goes over backwards in the mud.

Take 2:

Leaping through the window Murikeer comes up short, then falls on his face in the mud, the tip of his tail caught in Rickkter's hand while the racoon and crew laugh.
Sputtering, Murikeer levers himself to his feet, "Hey, there's only so much mud out here, guys… I can't go tracking it in for every scene."

Unstacking the Towers, Dike Scene

"Okay, everybody, we only get one take on this! So get it right!"
Motorized horses start pulling, animatronic trolls start pushing, and dummy lutins stand their posts on the towers.
"Okay, everbody ready! Safety clear?"
"Safety clear!"
"Okay, three, two, ONE!"
Llyn breaks her stick, the demolition crew drop the hammer and…. nothing happens. The wagons keep rolling and the animatronics keep moving, all the way across the dike.
"Cut, DAMNIT, CUT! Safety!"
"Ten minutes for cooloff on the charges, boss."
"Ten minutes, be back in place in ten!"

Ten minutes later, take 2.

"Okay, we only get two takes!"
BOOM!!! Planks and dirt go flying in the middle of the dike. With a wince everyone watches to see if the whole construct goes, but it holds.

Before it hits the ground, she bounces it back upward with her foot, off her elbow, balances it momentarily on her nose, and then drops it into her hand. She then sets it down on the table with a triumphant smile as the crew breaks into applause.

Drift is spinning his fire poi when one of them blows itself out. Stalling that poi's spin while he keeps the other going, he holds it up and to the side. "Is there a fire mage in the house?" he calls. With a 'fwoosh' of flame, the poi relights and Drift returns to his routine, calling "Thanks, Virmir!"

"Cut!"

"What? What'd I do?" Drift asks as the music dies.

"Virmir isn't supposed to be at the Keep at this time. We can't even save it in post, because the cameras were right on your face."

"Aw, man… Look, can we take a break? It's really getting hot up here." Drift starts to hang up the fire chains when a massive ball of water materializes over his head, and then drops with a SPLOOSH! A waterlogged, somewhat diminished Drift turns to glare at his drummer. "Thank you, Drake."

A glow lights up the night, Dimalya looks over to see the geyser shooting out of the ground. Drake steps back into it, and suddenly jumps back out, sputtering, "Damn! That's Cold!"

"CUT!"

A glow lights up the night, Dimalya looks over to see Drake staring at a puny, half a foot high trickle of water. He starts laughing, "Was there a typo in the script? Am I supposed to be summoning a Wyrm or a worm?"

"CUT!"

A voice comes from off-screen, "Sorry boss, forgot to crank up the pressure after heating the water, I'll fix it."

The glow lights up the night, the huge geyser of water jets up… right under Drake. He shoots into a nearby tree, soaked to the bone. Hanging onto the branch he landed on, he starts yelling something about involuntary enemas.

"CUT! Allan, Fire the stunt director!"

"Aw, come on boss, at least it was warm this time."

Scene: Name Trading

The guard looked up to me, battered, bruised, and broken, and said: " Running is different from fighting, friend. You have to go. I'll hold them back. Run… and don't look back and don't slow down or they might catch you."

"But…" I didn't want to just leave him. It was hard enough having the others get killed by those things.

"I said GO!" yelled the guard, pushing me forward and leaning against a tree for balance.

"At least tell me your name, then."

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

"CUT!"

A traveling wolf is me.

"And I have tried to appeal to her predator instincts, but she remains too close to Artela," Lilith added.

"All quite true," Ba'al agreed, nodding. "Raven has her weaknesses, but none we can use to truly subvert her. She's cautious, and while that has been to our advantage in the past, it's useless for starting a war."

[But that does not mean that she is untouchable,] said the Fallen. [If we wish to neutralize the Metamor Lothanasi, we must do so by attacking them at their weakest link.]

In the center of the conference table, an image appeared: A young feline woman dressed in the white robes of a Lightbringer priestess. The priestess said "Help me Oberon, you're my only hope" then knelt down, reaching toward something out of view. The image reset to the priestess standing saying "Help me Oberon, you're my only hope" then knelt down, reaching toward something out of view.

Not for at least the last year or three. It was a memorable scene.
