First time into the deep end.

Well I suppose that I ought to be introducing m'self seeing as I got my invite and all. The name's Eric Bana and a jack of all trades it seems in my chosen profession of acting. From Poida to Hector, from Hulk to Avner, not to forget even my first major non comedic role … Chopper

Hey, Banana. Ray Vecchio. Nice to meet ya.

[islandsinmotion]

And a joy to meet a fellow comedian a new face too.

[r_vecchio]

Comedian? Jeez, was that sarcasm, Bananaman?

So you've worked with Orlando then?

[islandsinmotion]

I don't do sarcasm, got that all out when I did Chopper mate *grins*

I have, we worked on Troy together. Orli was my baby brother Paris.

[r_vecchio]

Haven't seen it, sorry pal. I'm more of a guns and explosions kinda guy. Pleated skirts and sandals just don't seem to do it for me.

I'm kinda curious as to why you even have one of these things though. Thought Hollywood was always on the go, never even enough time to eat.

[islandsinmotion]

Chopper was a mob type movie and well Troy had swords, archers and fires.

They are but this is cheaper than getting a shrink at least imo. So I can do this while I'm stuck getting made up.

So why do you have one of these?

[r_vecchio]

Musta missed them at the MultiPlex..

Made up?

'Cause I was bored. Wanted to talk to anyone who'd listen, I guess. But this thing ended up changing my life so don't trash it 'til you've tried it, Bananaman.

[islandsinmotion]

Yes made up as in sitting in the make up chair on set.

You need a DVD player.

Am not trashing it in the least, as I said the way I see it is that it's cheaper than a shrink.

[r_vecchio]

Heh, make up...

You offering to buy me one, Bananaman? T'is the season to be jolly, after all. It's all about the giving.

Shrinks can be expensive, yeah. But if you're not the one paying, it's pretty much free, right? And I guess someone like you would be able to afford it anyway.

[islandsinmotion]

Yep, more make up to make me look more scruffy than I am first thing in the morning.

So in return for this headache you're giving me *teases* I should be giving you my whole acting career in dvds plus a dvd player?

And may I ask what did you mean by someone like me? You just met me there fella.

[r_vecchio]

What's the point of being 'made up' to look even worse that before you started? Wouldn't it be easier just to stick your head down the toilet or something? Cheaper too since you're all about the money saving.

Well, if you're not gonna give willingly, then no. Plus, I gotta collection of vids on the modern and post-modern criticism of Canadian Impressionism that I really oughta be watching. So thanks for the offer but I'm gonna pass.

Oh, sorry, I thought I was bein' clear. Someone like you, as in Hollywood bigshot. Actor. Thespian.

[ooc: *waves* Yoo-hoo! Psst, over here. Ray's not a bastard, really. He's just messing around, and I've asked him to write "*teases*" like your Bananaman does, but he won't listen...Seriously though, he just likes winding people up sometimes, he'll be normal later if Eric survives him!]

[islandsinmotion]

*faceplants* You ever think of taking Midol for that PMS?

*waves back at* A pleasure to meet you both and Eric knows he's messing, just isnt sure how to mess back *ROFLMAO* It's like meeting the new kid in the sand box and going how in the hell do I play with this? ROFLMAO!!!

[r_vecchio]

Too expensive. I find this thing online is a lot cheaper. Bananaman's adversion to spending money must be spreading.

ooc: lol! nicely put! is eric your first muse?

[islandsinmotion]

Yeah it's the aussie flu mate *pets* congratulations, yer infected.

ooc: thank you *G* and actually nope, he's my fourth, I have Stephanie Plum, Eric of course, Jared Leto and Hephaestion here too :D

[r_vecchio]

*immediately ducks away from petting hand*

*scrunches nose* Listen pal, I know what they say about actors and...y'know, what you get up to in your free time.

*eyes petting hand suspiciously* But I already got someone, a woman. She looks like sunshine, has a great smile. Maybe you've met her?

ooc: Uh oh, Ray saw Bananaman flirting with sunshine girl...Not good at all. And he's had a lotta stuff going on about gay men so I apologize on his behalf for the first bit of the reply. Ray however, realiably informs me he's not sorry...

[islandsinmotion]

I get up to my motorcycle, racing cars, watching footie on my television and taking my wife Rebecca shopping when I'm not being used as a climbing gym by my son and daughter.

*takes his hand back* You always this judgemental of people you just met mate?

ooc: Eric's very married to Rebecca and seems to flirt with all girls or so we're discovering today *notes that Eric isnt the least bit sorry for it, stuffs pup back in bag* Eric also says that Ray's fun in a toothache kind of way, wants to know can he keep the cranky bugger, he promises not to call him George ... Bruce or Nemo maybe *facepalms*
