SEASON 1.

Annie's ice-blue eyes appear, and a soft smile tugs at her lips, the faintest bit of warmth tinging the coldness of her irises.

"Hi, everyone. This is Annie, playing Annie, and today we're at the recording studio," She says, spinning around in her chair with the camera raised above her head, showing the small room she's in. On one side, there's a control panel just under a glass panel, the compact recording room on the other side. Occupying the other room, yelling violently into a microphone, is none other than Eren.

You can't hear Eren, but you can most definitely see his vigorous shouting.

Annie sighs, "We're usually in here for a while. Reiner went to get some drinks. It's just us three today, though, Eren's is always the longest, given his constant rage-filled inner monologue."

The door clicks open, Reiner's rather large figure entering the room, holding a water bottle and two Powerades in his ridiculously large hands, at least for his age.

"Thank you," She says softly, taking her water.

"Oh, uhm, are you filming?" Reiner asks, taking a seat.

"Mmhmm, Eren's little project for when we become famous, or something," She shrugs, resting the camera on the table as they talk, that way she can open her water bottle in peace.

"Famous," He sighs pleasantly. "Once I get my Golden Globes Award, I'm going to place it on my bedside table, where I'll also have my wedding picture of my marriage with Brie Larson."

"Oh?" Annie asks, unbridled amusement lacing into her words. "And what do you plan to win the Golden Globes Award for?"

"Best actor, obviously," He scoffs, rolling his eyes.

"Right," She nods, a bit sceptical on how likely that is to happen, though she supposes that it depends on the popularity of the show, given its first season releases in less than a year. "I guess you have Eren to compete with, though."

On cue, a buzz rings through the room, and Eren steps out of the recording booth, looking a bit exhausted. "Drink," He croaks, scratching his throat.

Reiner smirks, showing the blue Powerades he had brought with him. "Competition idea," He says.

Annie groans and Eren perks up, all previous tiredness washed away as if it had never existed in the first place.

Reiner knows he's got Eren on his hook, and his grin widens just a bit. "Whoever makes their tongue the bluest wins, Annie's the judge."

"I really don't want to get involved-"

"You're on, Reiner-bitch," Eren says, thrillingly.

Annie can see that she is most definitely not getting out of this, having to participate in the boy's idiotic competitiveness. She watches the two chug down their seventh of a litre drinks, washing it, disgustingly, around their mouths in hopes of tainting their tongue blue. She considers going to see Hitch, who had recently been brought on set, and had recently become acquainted with.

Hitch was the daughter of two very famous actors, meaning she was a bit... problematic? Not in the racist way, in the going to parties and snorting coke sort of way. She had this basé air around her, and it annoyed Annie, initially. Though that was until she'd invited Annie to her mansion where they'd watched the Great Gatsby and had a shot every time there was homoerotic tension between anyone, and they'd ended the night very, very drunk.

Apathetically, she says Reiner's tongue was bluer, honestly just wanting them to stop breathing in her face.

This causes a feud between the two, which lasts a week, until Isayama comes onto set himself and threatens to throw them in the forest again. (Annie envies Hitch for having the luxury to not be in the original cast, who'd all been part of Isayama's totally-legal-forest-endeavour).
