FanFiction: Characters in Purgatory
Title: Characters in Purgatory
Rating: PG-13
Summary: What are our beloved characters left to do while waiting for the actors to come back to work?
A/N: I just thought this up on the fly today in response to the news that the LOCI season 8 primere is delayed, AGAIN, until summer. I hope it's funny, but it may just be ridiculous.
The bullpen of the Major Case squad was eerily quiet. There were no nameless extras filling the negative space or buzzing sounds to make it more authentic.
There were just two characters sitting across from each other, collecting dust, and waiting for their actors to come back to work.
"Where's Vince and Katie?"
"Bobby, didn't you get the memo the captain sent out?"
"No, what memo?"
"This memo," she said, tossing the letter to him.
"Summer 2009," he muttered. "But they told us early 2009...summer is not early 2009."
"I guess they have a different definition..."
"This is the third time they've pulled the plug...I'm sick of being cooped up in here."
"And I'm not? I heard I was finally going to get to meet my sister...it's about time we move on from your family and into some of mine..."
"But, I'm the lead Eames...it's only natural that they would introduce my family first..."
"We're an ensemable, Bobby."
"I don't think three people make an ensemable...five probably...but three..."
Eames rolled her eyes.
"I just don't understand why they can't make up their mind about this. It's not that hard."
"I bet it's that new guy's actor...I hear he's a pretty big name...he's probably being moody about the work schedule."
"Please. The whole reason we even have the other characters is because of your actor."
"Hey, he works really hard...and Katie was just as greatful for the second team."
"Well you know the real victims in this are the fans...I mean, they're stuck with another five, sixth months of nothing but re-runs and fan fiction to sustain them."
"Fan fiction?"
"You need to get out more..."
"Well, I'd like to, but it's kind of hard with out writers and actors to write me the hell out of here."
"Well then you need to explore the internet more instead of reading the same books over and over again."
He huffed.
"Fuck--"
"Bobby! How many times do I have to tell you about the language?"
"What? I thought we were on cable now."
"Not that kind of cable...if it was that kind of cable we'd be having ridiculous amounts of sex in various parts of the office."
"That sounds like more fun," he said. "So, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to go get some Skittles," she said and rose from her desk.
"Aren't you sick of Skittles?"
"Yeah, but it's the only thing they ever wrote me eating."
