Worth A Thousand Words: A Love in Mime (Poker Face card #4)

[esmeiolanthe]

This is my fourth short for the Poker Face event (out of five). This card is "1,000 words or less." The card remaining is "100 words or less." This short clocks in at 329 words, counting the front matter.

Hahaha brilliant! :D

I can totally see them all backstage playing about. :)

Do the actors live in the neighbourhood in your story or are they just purely there for G&SL? Rowena and Jimmy-Bob would have pretty kids (I still find myself laughing at AElfric's name being Jimmy-Bob). :)

Also interesting that Richard was the only one talking throughout the whole thing - the way to get Silent Lady to talk is to not talk! :D

[amylu1988]

Ah! And I've just noticed your poker theme of '...a love in...'! :D

[esmeiolanthe]

I was wondering if anyone would get that. Now I just need to figure out how to do it in drabble form... I like drabbles, and they're not all that hard, but I can't figure out who to write about. I'm open for suggestions...

[esmeiolanthe]

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

The Sims who play the parts in G&SL are in a completely different 'hood -- I knew that to get properly staged shots, I was probably going to have to do some dodgy things and use questionable cc, so I put them in their own 'hood in the hopes that when it blew up, it wouldn't take everyone else with it.

Well, the way to get her to talk is to not talk in the right way. I am quite jealous of her for being able to do the taxi whistle, too. I can't. :(

Thanks for reading and commenting! :D

Aww, cuteness! Character-wise, it feels kind of odd to have Silent Lady and AElfric in love with each other (let alone AElfric's real name being Jimmy-Bob :D ), but that's what makes it fun. :)

Also, I did notice the theme, too. :) *nodnod*

[esmeiolanthe]

Oh yes, Character-wise, this makes no sense at all. But I do like the difference between the actors and the characters. :)

Glad you picked up on the theme. :) Anybody you'd particularly like to see for the last card?

Thanks for reading and commenting! :D

Hmm... Maybe Jon and Emmy, or Descartes and Abbey? :) Or Rose an Dimitri? If you happen to have an idea for any of them. :)

[esmeiolanthe]

I will think about those pairings and see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestions! :)
