 [Sir Tony Davies, Shakespearean actor, new grandfather and one of the more subtle of the cast's goofballs, sits in his trailer, which is rather plain except for many books and prominently displayed pictures of his family. He has one of his razor-edged little Hannibal smiles on, and is playing Goldberg Variations on his stereo.]

Well, my friends, I'm afraid that I have a bit of bad news. I've been by the canteen, and they say their food stores won't last the cast more than...two weeks. Which is just horrible really. Famine impending...but not if we plan for it now. 

Obviously rationing should come into play, since it will likely take Public Works at least a month to clear a few trees off the road. But I for one think that we must consider more...radical solutions.

[He cheerfully brings out a meat cleaver and lays it on the desk in front of him.]

So, who's going to contribute first? One of the large alpha males should last us at least a day, they're nice and...meaty.

[Sunday spam]
[Tony will be wandering around, socializing, entertaining the youngin's, and showing off pictures of his teeny granddaughter.]

[Stewart's employing full use of his Riddler voice and mannerisms.]

Now, now, lets not resort to such drastic measures. We'll just have to implement whips to get the crew working faster.

[A lop-sided smile suddenly breaks out on his face, very un-Riddler like, and he laughs.]

Augh! Damn it, I did it again! I can never keep a straight face. You're just too good.

[cannibalmind]

You never break character once the cameras are rolling, and that's where it counts. Especially playing such a complicated man.

[insolubleriddle]

When I started out, there was enough giggling to fill an entire blooper reel.

[He folds his arms behind his head a little dramatically.]

But I've sobered up, since then. Now I have about seven pads devoted to keeping track of this guys eccentricities.

[cannibalmind]

[A soft chuckle] I got over most of my nerves teaching. It dries one out a bit of giggles.

Seven? I am not surprised. Really I don't know what I would do without my notes database.

[insolubleriddle]

Nor do I. Consistency would be impossible to achieve without those notes.

[He clucks his tongue disapprovingly.]

It would be nice if we could have more than five episodes a season scripted by the same writer.

[cannibalmind]

I think they need to improve the writers' contracts. They're too important to a series like this to deal with bottom-barrel pay.

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

Cannibal death scene! Wonderful, it's the part I've always wanted to play. Sign me up.

[cannibalmind]

No, no, no. We need to keep your character alive for the plot where he finds out he is Erik's brother and Arthas's secret love child.

[darknessb4me]

Arthas wasn't even in town that weekend and he's totally not paying child support.

[socoolbrewster]

Modest Proposal crossed with the Donner party. Nice one.

[cannibalmind]

I try.

How are you holding up in the midst of all of this? This is nothing compared to filming during a hurricane, but it is inconvenient.

[socoolbrewster]

Oh, I'm fine. It's kinda cool, actually. Like an actual reality show, almost. ...You filmed during a hurricane?

[cannibalmind]

We were in Florida. I was playing a retiree who deals with a home invasion and...right in the midst of our location shoots this terrible mess blows up and we ended up stuck at the house we were filming at. It was an adventure.

[not_annika]

[Rebecca, on the other hand, is nothing like her counterpart.] I'm sure Chris will be happy to help!

[cannibalmind]

Oh my, are we volunteering each other now? The set's crumbling into anarchy! Horrors!

[Chuckles]

How are you?

[not_annika]

Oh, just the chaff, I assure you.

I'm fine! Doing my lines, reading.

[cannibalmind]

You should come out and visit a bit. The best story ideas come from good conversations.

[not_annika]

Maybe. Seven's not the best at conversations, though.

[cannibalmind]

Does she enjoy strategy games? They are a good ice-breaker and my lad just got a chess set. He is also used to the TX, so her more machinelike attributes won't put him off.

[not_annika]

Yes, she used to play Strategema with Icheb, Naomi and Neelix. I'm not sure she ever played Chess, though.

In line for concert. Please forgive my lack of dractags <3

[umgekehrt]

You ain't got the tenderizer big enough for my tough old hide.

'sallight!

[cannibalmind]

Touche. I suppose I'd have to simmer you for at least a week, and I don't have a pot big enough.

Re: 'sallight!

[umgekehrt]

This one, though. Probably good eating.

[Attached a picture of a small, cherubic girl with curly dark hair in two puffs.

Two can play the Cute grandkids game. Though Mac will catch it sharp if his daughter finds out the context.)

[cannibalmind]

Oh my goodness, she's just scrumptious! I bet her giggles alone could sweeten a cake.

[umgekehrt]

[A proud grandparently beam.]

How old's your new grandbaby, now?

[cannibalmind]

Three months. Just getting her baby fat.

[umgekehrt]

So darn cute at that age. [His face isn't quite as ugly without the multiple scar prosthetics and the dingy yellow contacts, but his smile isn't pretty all the same. But it's happy.]

I'm hopin' when the storms clear up and we're sure it's safer we can have family visit. Lily or Tyler, maybe have all the grands around.

Maybe Julie and Terrence, too. [While Lily and Tyler are his son and daughter, Julie is his ex-wife and Terrence is her second husband. They're all on good terms.]

[cannibalmind]

I daresay that we should sort out some sort of large gathering. We'd have to ship out to somewhere, but it would be worth it. They're much cuter when they're underfoot.

[umgekehrt]

It'd just be good to have different voices around. Times I start to think I understand what Stildyne must feel like on the same battleship all the time, out in space. And Sophie could use more young people around, just a little.

[cannibalmind]

Feeling the need for an outing? Or just a new crop?

[umgekehrt]

Just to get out for a while. Got a new arc with Louis comin' up. Fans like the Hoffman and Stildyne partnership.

I think it's a load of bull. [Good God he hates Louis Mandalorian with his whole self.]

[cannibalmind]

Well, you always coax a good performance out of him. I'm sorry it's such a high maintenance working relationship, however.

[umgekehrt]

Man's just so up his own ass. [He shakes his head because the whole cast has heard this complaint before and it's not going to do any good repeating it.]

Still. Guess on-screen, it's a good story, and that's something. Speakin' of which, what's up for Lecter this season?

[cannibalmind]

He'll grow out of it. Hopefully. Maybe.

I shall let you know when I know. There was a misinterpretation of canon and about six hours of script had to be thrown out. They're still rewriting. But I suspect some of it will involve his Warden, who is gradually becoming truly self-aware.

[umgekehrt]

So we're gonna see a big warden-inmate arc? That'd be a great story. You and 'Elizabeth' could knock that right outta the park.

[cannibalmind]

I don't know how big it will be. Things are somewhat up in the air for my character, and sometimes I wonder about the chemistry between our characters. But I suppose we will see!

[darknessb4me]

Are we rolling?

[He's not sure what day of the week it is?]

Uh, wait, I don't have my contacts in.

[cannibalmind]

[A soft chuckle]

Leave them out, this is just practice. Though I hear a few of the youngin's are starting a side project.

Had a glass of water yet?

[darknessb4me]

I'm not doing anything unless I am paid, you tell them that.

[cannibalmind]

Oh, don't be so boring. Some of the best stuff comes out of projects like this.

[darknessb4me]

Everything I do is the best stuff. That's why I'm selective.

[cannibalmind]

Of course. This falls into the "just for fun" category, though it's good practice directing for young Edward.

[darknessb4me]

Fun is for kids. Adults get smashed.
