Random LJ Experiment #1

[babelmusic]

This will likely not work. Which is the best reason to try it. If it works, within a few postings there will be dozens of renegade scripts running around LJ

Comments

Example One

[babelmusic]

If you wanted to be sensible, and your LJ name was TOMMY, you might do this:

(Tommy walks up to Babelmusic.)

TOMMY
Oi!

BABELMUSIC
I always thought The Ramones were the first real punk rock band.

TOMMY
It's totally the Sex Pistols.

BABELMUSIC
Whatever!

(He shakes his fist.)

TOMMY
Liking the Ramones, geez, what could be more American than that?

BABELMUSIC
Apple pie.

TOMMY
You're very funny, Babelmusic!

BABELMUSIC
What are you trying to say?

TOMMY
Average Joe.

BABELMUSIC
I go by Babelmusic.

Example Two

[babelmusic]

If you wanted to be random, and your LJ name was BONNY, you might do this:

BONNY
Snickerdoodles!

BABELMUSIC
I always thought The Ramones were the first real punk rock band.

BABELMUSIC
Whatever!

BONNY
I have got a funny feeling about that Babelmusic.

(He shakes his fist.)

BONNY
Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow with Christina Ricci.

BABELMUSIC
Apple pie.

BABELMUSIC
What are you trying to say?

BONNY
What is the nature of evil?

BONNY
I think your hair is actually rather cute that way.

(The chandeleir falls with a CRASH.)

BABELMUSIC
I go by Babelmusic.

Concerning Examples One and Two

[babelmusic]

The best way to do it is probably a mix of both, so that at any given time, there are little exchanges that make sense in the script, and then random bits for other people to pick up on.
