YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT

WHO: the Captain + You
WHAT: contractually obligated price is right game
WHEN: 11/18, like nightish?
WHERE: Bellona Theater
WARNINGS: N/A, currently

[you've heard the announcement, the sound of Friday's cautious optimism as she spoke it. you've waited all day. now, it's time for the game.

the amount of effort that has gone into this production at Bellona can be safely defined as “minimal.” there are three podiums, with three slate boards and three pieces of chalk. there is another podium, currently empty, next to a plain folding table. there is a tablecloth draped over the table, covering a lumpy, inscrutable shape.

the most remarkable thing is the giant wheel set up on the other side of the empty podium. the slices of the giant circle are colorful, but also completely blank. the Captain actually spends 30 minutes prior to the start of the event simply sitting in front of it, back to the audience, and spinning it, listening to the loud clacking noise pick up and then die down again, before spinning it once more.

clackclackclack clack clack. clack. clackclackclackclackclack.

it's gonna be a long night.]

"Oh yeah, I think you have to keep it. Maybe you could fill it with peanuts."
goodweather: (that's right)

"I'm not getting a damn peanut in there, let alone multiple. The only thing this is good for is tic-tacs."

He strikes a half-hearted pose. "You two think I could go for Vogue?"

"Oh, please, you're flattering a humble man. I'm sure I'm not that blindingly beautiful, am I?"

Flashes a winning smile at the audience, the very same he uses to close out his weather segment on the news.

"I'm sure people would be relieved if you were actually blinding," but gestures for them to get off the stage. She's only comfortable in the spotlight if she's competing.

(Why did that make Dimitri's chest do something funny.)

(We will not be interrogating that at this time, or preferably ever.)
