The short book of shorty short shorts

On set

{Location: Movie set #316}(Cole's POV)

Morro stands above us in his decked out ghost costume and make-up and looks bored out of his mind as he has a chock hold on a green screen dummy.  "What you do now is give me the crystal or say goodbye to your little green friend."  

The set around us is a fake version of the first spinjutsu master's tomb and it really, really, really, doesn't look authentic.

I glance at my hand to read my line, it's kinda hard to read through the thick makeup due to the fact I was a ghost in this seance we're reacting, "No. We will never," dang it, my hand smudged the ink. I squint to read it as Jay rolls his eyes, "Give you the kragal, no, Crystal."

That was cringy. I mentally kick myself as Kai holds the fake realm crystal up. Kai's probably the best actor among us...unless Willow has better improve skills I'm unaware of. Kai grins as the special effectx change the crystal from blue to red, "You want it, Morro, go get it."  He throws it offset.

Clank! CLink! The crystal rolls to a stop then I look up at Morro.

Then it finally hits him that his cue has long past. He tosses the green dummy posing as Lloyd aside, "No," more deadpan, "The crystal. What have you done?"

This is just so cringy. So cringy.

Dareth jumps out of his director's chair and holds a boom mic to his mouth, "CUT!"  He storms past us and up the hidden staircase to the platform Morro's on, he raises the boom mic again, "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? THE WAS THE WORST ACTING I'VE SEEN!"

Morro sidesteps and rubs his ears. Unfortanly he steps off the edge of the platform and he falls about 5 feet. His hand shoots up and he gives a thumbs up, "I'm ok."  He gets up, half covered in furry winter coats for another movie, "Who hides props behind a set? That makes no sense."

Dareth presses the on the button again, "Wait a second, after that trainwreck of a performance you don't get to have an opinion."  He sighs as he facepalms, "Back in your places everyone, take number 27!"

Zane moans, "Dareth, perhaps we should take a break. We just come back from a major battle and we have been trying at this all morning."

Jay nods as my stomach growls, "Please. Why are we doing this again?"

I fold my arms as my eyes are drawn to the chocolate cake that is on the snake table, "And without Lloyd for that matter. I mean look at that thing? It looks nothing like him."

Dareth throws his arms up, "Fine. Whatever. You five go cool off. And where is my 10:30 donut people?"  He sets out looking for the donut box.

Kai snickers as he moves to where Morro is. His snickers soon turn into full-blown chuckling as he holds up the missing donut box, "Safely hidden from the sugar craving ninja."

He opens the box as Jay jumps over the cardboard ice, "Dibs on the rainbow sprinkles."

I follow Zane at a more refined speed as Morro pulls off the fake fur coat. Donuts are nowhere near as good as cake but I gladly take a chocolate frosting one, "Ok, who else feels like this script is just ridiculous?"

Kai raises his free hand as Zane takes a white frosted donut and start nibbling at it, "Totally. I mean Morro's entrance doesn't make any sense. In the last scene, I left him trapped in ice so from that time until when he shows up isn't long enough for him to break free."

"Hey, remember me," Morro points to himself, which makes me have to look at his ridiculous ghost make up, "The guy who actually did that incredible escape."

Jay licks his fingers, "Ok, smart guy, how did you get out?"

Morro smirks while raising an eyebrow, "You guys didn't take away the sword of sanctuary. Once I pulled it back in I used Lloyd's spinjutzu to spin a hole."
