009 ✦ Video - Calendar Announcement!!!

[sorryitasedyou]

Alright, so I’ve had something on the back-burner for awhile and it’s time to finally just do the thing. Spring has almost sprung and I think it might just be fun to do something a little crazy.

[ Because everyone should be totally not concerned when Darcy drops the word crazy into everyday conversation. ]

I wanna do a calendar. A calendar with pictures of us. Wonderland already decided to show us an alternate version of ourselves and some people from home. Why not keep track of the real us and have a little fun doing it? There might even be booze and coffee. And sugar. A lot of sugar. And it doesn’t just have to be people here right now, I have a few pictures of people that used to be here that I want to include… No rules for this.

[ Considering rules would imply an actual plan. And since this is definitely coming off as a sort of spur of the moment decision, as tends to happen with Darcy, she’s trying to just keep this as broad as possible. Keep those real reasons floating in the back of her head about why she wants to do this out of this post. Maybe it’s because she’s had her hands full with Jane’s whole human infinity stone mess this week, maybe it’s because she’s almost at her two year mark and that’s making her start to twitch a little. Maybe it’s because the wear and tear of making friends only to lose them was getting a little old. Maybe… maybe she wanted to do something nice not just for herself but everyone else. ]

Since we don’t actually know the year here, I figure this calendar can legit be as many repeated months as we want. And I guess if you take personal offense to anything over 16 months in a calendar, we should probably take this chat in a different direction. Possibly involving the words ‘professional’ and ‘help’ and ‘banana balls’.

[ Subtlety, thy name is Darcy. ]

Hit me up if you’re interested in participating. I have a working list of people that I may or may not have already volunteered for this. You should all know who you are and if you don’t, then I guess just assume yes.


[ OOC: So this is Darcy’s Calendar Announcement. The log will go up this weekend for the actual photoshoots/mingling in case anyone wants to thread it out :D ]

[ This actually isn't the worst idea. Steve's response opens up with him at his desk, leaning his chin on his hand as he gives Darcy that wary look he always wears when he's pretty sure she's up to something. ]

Well, keeping track of the days and the seasons is worth doing. You really sure about the subject matter, though?

[ He's already been signed up, hasn't he. Dammit, Darcy. ]

[sorryitasedyou]

Totally sure. I mean, you can only really stare at cute animals telling you the month for so long. This'll be way better. Promise.

[ And speaking of volunteering already... ]

How would you feel about July? Only one of them, don't worry. It'll be fun.

[ Steve doesn't see what the problem is with cute animals, but Darcy seems to think that using pictures of various Wonderland captives would be more effective for morale. He could argue with her, but he doesn't have it in him to rain on her parade.

Especially since she's already got him in mind. For July, of course.

He takes a moment to look exasperated, then tilts his head at her. ]

What do I have to do...?

[suicidemission]

[ spoiler: Chuck's done the whole war propaganda calendar thing. ]

Volunteering myself and Ray'll do it too.

Dude what?!

[AUDIO]

[failedparenting]

So like, a nudie calendar?

[Squint. Squiiiint.]

[AUDIO]

[sorryitasedyou]

[ She'd like to say she had a classy response prepared, but that would mean more planning than starting the actual recording. ]

I'm gonna have to say that's a no on the nudes. Think of this like a pin up calendar that's not actually a full on pin up. I mean if people wanna have fun, sure that works... But, I for one don't really wanna stare at somebody's junk for a whole month. So basically a calendar made by like, Disney but kinda on crack.

[ ...........yup. ]

interested in hiring photographers

[Maybe artfully glitched pictures in a kind of broke-ass college hipster aesthetic.]

[sorryitasedyou]

Possibly.
Is that what you do back home?

[ ........... Oh boy. ]

[lightgunhustler]

You know, as ideas go, it's a fun one.

[Maybe not 100% practical, but who cares about that? They're in Wonderland, and it's important to remember to loosen up every once in awhile instead of focusing on the bad.]

If my husband hasn't already been conscripted, I can guarantee you he'll volunteer with all kinds of enthusiasm.

[Video]

[sorryitasedyou]

I'd like to think so.

[ Besides Darcy's anything but practical, really. Not when it comes to something like this. ]

And as for your husband, he's already on my short list so... If you want in on the party, you're more than welcome. Just need to let me know if you wanna share the spotlight with the hubby or get one of your own.

[ She'll even throw in a little wink for emphasis. ]

[ Sharon doesn't look convinced by a long shot. Oh, she has no problem with a calendar. That's right up her alley. Go, Darcy, go.

She just has some questions.

You know.

As one does. ]

It almost sounds like you're planning a fireman calendar... You might want to make that booze a guarantee.

video;

[sorryitasedyou]

[ And go she will. ;) She'll even go so far as to happily answer those questions. Answer them like a boss. Boom. ]

Nothing quite so, uh, flashy as a fireman calendar. Although, I can't be blamed for the fact that Wonderland seems to have a thing for bringing in hunky men and nice lookin' ladies.

[ A beat. ]

And there'll be guaranteed booze. A lot of booze. Like, so much.

[actualwizard]

[He remembers when she first started thinking about this. ]

I'm already volunteered, aren't I?

[sorryitasedyou]

[ ...................... Well ]

Maybe. I promise it'll be fun. We can set things on fire.
Literally.

[nascensibility]

You know, I'm fairly certain I've seen a calendar the likes of which you are describing in my brother's game room.

[Next to Jonathan's collection of esoteric erotic fiction, and the weatherbeaten copy of The Kama Sutra.

Evelyn chews on the moment, then looks mildly suspicious.]

...who have you volunteered?

video;

[sorryitasedyou]

Yeah, it's probably not gonna be that risqué. At least one of the versions of it.

[ Look, she can't control Raleigh and Chuck. And she's def not gonna tell them no. ]

Hoooow would you feel if I said your name may or may not be on the list?

[Video]

[luckynumberthree]

[ Simon's laughing when he opens a return feed to reply. ]

Darcy Lewis, you are my favorite kind of genius.

[Video]

[sorryitasedyou]

Aw, you're too sweet.

[ And because she's not even gonna ask if he wants in on this. ]

What month d'you want?

[Text]

[mypartnerintime]

Wait is this like a PG-13 calendar, or..?

[Text]

[sorryitasedyou]

Yeah. PG-13. [ For the most part. She can keep the rowdy ones for a separate photoshoot where everyone is for sure at least 18. ]

I'm thinking pictures of people maybe doing something they love, or maybe in a favorite place. Something fun.

Would you possibly like to claim a month?

[video]

[punful]

what kind of calendar?

[He has a bad feeling.]

[video]

[sorryitasedyou]

Not that kind of calendar.

[ For the most part, ok. She's gonna have a PG-13 version. Maybe photoshop a few things to keep it within the rating. ]

[littlestreetcat]

Sounds like a cool idea.

[ Selina nods in approval as she clicks on her video feed to respond. ]

I think a way to keep track of time here is long overdue. I'm kinda amazed no one's tried this before, actually.

[ Seems like this kind of thing that would have come up in the early days of Wonderland, but hey, whatever. If it's coming up now, Selina wants a copy (as long as it's not gross and involving nudity of her fellow prisoners), and you know, it might be kind of cool to be in it. Maybe. Though she's not going to admit to that thought easily. ]

video;

[sorryitasedyou]

Well, I mean there was someone who wanted to - at least she started asking questions about it but nothing ever came of it.

It's better than what you can get out of the closets, anyways.

[ There will definitely be a no nudity policy for at least one of the versions of the calendar. Honestly. ]

I don't think I've seen you around here before, I'm Darcy.

[ AND DON'T YOU WORRY SELINA, DARCY'S VERY GOOD AT GETTING PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE :D ]
