((Purple is Bernkastel, and pink is Lambdadelta.))

[ When the recording picks up Bernkastel’s voice, she sounds somewhat annoyed — though there’s a faint weariness beneath her words. ]

… How exhausting. We must have spent a hundred takes just on those couple of lines. What a waste of a day.

[ If Lambdadelta’s exhausted, her attitude doesn't show it. Her voice’s perky and full of energy.]

Ah, some of those takes were hilarious! They should go on a blooper reel. I’d totally buy it if they put that out.

[ Bernkastel makes a small sound, half-laugh, half-scoff. ]

Sure, yeah. Especially that guy’s, right...? They could be a blockbuster all on their own, titled “It’s All Useless.”

[The video turns on to show Tidus smiling easily and...playing some sort of gaming system. He puts the controller down, and leans forward a little.]

I've been so busy lately. I went on vacation with some of the others, and then we all had to attend the awards ceremony. It was a lot of fun, and we won three awards.

I still don't know if they're thinking of a sequel yet. I don't see how they would, the story's pretty much over. They're being vague about it, so for now rumors are just rumors. And that's fine with me. I'm thinking of trying for a more serious role before I end up getting typecast.

Do you think if I dyed my hair back, people would take me more seriously?

[Butterfly flops onto a couch in the dressing room, sighing.]

Let me tell you, community, working with kids is exhausting.

I suppose I'm a little young to be complaining about people being 'kids', but... well, Lotus Blossom's nice enough, but the whole "Red Army is made up of children" idea is causing problems. I'm starting to wish they'd gone with aging some of the characters up after all, whether it's in the book or not; getting One Favorite Pearl to take directions on set is difficult. She keeps losing focus and just playing with the rabbit.

I guess I should be glad for the work, though. I'm still a little nervous even now that we're filming - it's my first leading role, after all.

What do you think, community? Am I being too weird about this?
