The Rocky Bits [Sunday morning]

[dirtiest_skank]

Olivia (or Olive -- the writers weren't great with continuity, but she was Olivia for the moment) stared bleakly out to sea, the wind whipping about her perfectly styled curls and yet somehow not tangling them at all. She should never have returned here, to this island, after her film career had tragically begun to sink after she'd developed her

A single piece of gum was spat out at the rocks, just to make sure the audience knew Atton and his illicit substances were on the scene!!

"Well, well," he drawled. "Now who do we have here?"

[dirtiest_skank]

Olive whipped her head around to look at the intruder on her thoughts, and frowned prettily. "What do you want?" she breathed.

Because saying sentences with one's full vocal stamina was not nearly so dramatic.

"A conversation," Atton said, drawing the word out. He took a couple of steps closer, and slipped his leather-lined gum packet out of his pocket. "Gum?"

[dirtiest_skank]

"I don't touch that stuff anymore," Olivia said, closing her eyes. "It aggravates...my condition."

HER HIDEOUS CONDITION.

"Ahem," Jessica said. She saw Olive looking all dramatic, so she scampered up to Olive's position to taunt and enjoy her friend's insanity as much as she could.

Seriously, Jessica was the best friend ever.

"Somebody looks pensive. How you doing there, champ?"

[dirtiest_skank]

Olive turned her face away from Jessica. She knew she should never have left her room without her veil! She was hideous.

"How did you find me here? I came here to think."

[craftyladyparts]

"So did I. Great minds think alike apparently," Jessica said. "Something troubling you?"

[dirtiest_skank]

"Isn't it obvious?" she asked disdainfully. "My beautiful face has been destroyed, and my career is over because of my condition."

God, Jessica. Please do keep up.

Victor Mancha, pop superstar, had regained his voice thanks to Doctor Annie's tender ... ministrations yesterday. But he still needed true love to be truly happy.

Luckily, he was prone to finding that by the end of every episode.

"You," he told Olive when he came across her, "are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

[dirtiest_skank]

Olive turned to look at hum, hesitantly, and sighed heavily. "Are you mocking me?" she asked sadly. "I'm hideous."

HIDEOUS. DAMN HER EPHELIDES.

[ultron_junior]

Victor gasped, but kept a game face up. "Your heart is lovely," he insisted, because the writers wanted to keep him sympathetic. "But your skin -- dios mío, what happened?"

[dirtiest_skank]

"It's genetic," Olivia said tragically. "There's no cure. All I can do is...cover it."

THERE WERE SO MANY, THOUGH.

"You're very kind, though, to see past it. No one ever does."
