Flower Power

During some offtime the Incorporateds had while the great evils of the universe also recovered.. and it often seemed to casey if there were multiple groups out there fighting the evils of the past... that indeed, they'd wonder if the future was changing every day they lived as well as the past.. and Casey's visions werent' getting any better of what laid down the road..

But it was good news that Carolina, one of the Incorporateds who also went by varied names like Ixnay and Mindninja, was going to get a job in the movie industry, even if briefly, in a movie.. hopefully, which wouldn't attract too much attention called 'flower power', in which she'd pretend to be from a race of beings who dressed like flowers.

And during one of the offtimes, Casey took Carolina to the planet Catica's desert, noting a mysterious director had come to personally take charge of the production, as well as the unusual outfits some of the cast wore.. namely, like, they were pretending to be flowers in an invasion of a distant planet. 

Speedster often wondered, indeed, about his visions of some other villians out there, like Lamborghini, a sangurian who's ability to run really fast, someday falling apart.. visions of beings in other dimensions akin to him..about indeed, what influences were driving him and his team to a strange destiny.. and why he'd often, in his past, once looked at costumes and wondered if he should wear them all the time himself should anything bad happen to him. He even wondered a lot about some of the costumes in the supply that Carolina was wearing.

On the first day of the shooting, it proved pretty hard to tell carolina from some of those in the cast, especially since her ears could be hidden under her costume, and she looked so much like a flower it made speedster wonder if that was one of her desires.. to be in bloom someday. And the director, often would get upset sometimes about the mistakes of some of the extras.

Among those present, Speedster noted as he often considered writing some stories of his own, were some security guards who seemed out of place, especially some who just stared blankly.. even some of the guards who were grey... was there some sort of conspiracy afoot out there? 

While Carolina, used indeed to wearing strange costumes, didnt' have much of a problem with the costumes or the strangely apparent lack of air in them, she didn't mind very much the attention she got from day to day.. especially when she was doing her own stunts and personally, indeed.. seemed in control of her life... though the director seemed creepy at times. How she ran a lot over the distant sands wondering indeed, I really don't feel like a dork doing this.. especially with others among her. 

A couple of days into filming, Speedster got Casey over to personally check things out, whom was recovering after a horrible night's sleep dreaming of a dark future in which he was forever repeating his past and present.. and Casey, after talking to a lot of people, got his act in order to check things out behind the scenes... but found little to suspect the director was up to no good. However, Halifax did find something odd.. how the scenes kept on repeating each day as if there wasn't much plot other than running around and scaring people.. 

So one night, Halifax talked  to the director after the scene, and asked personally .. "What's the movie about?"

The Director said.. "a race of people who are half flowers and half people.. it's kinda like a documentary."

"A documentary?", said Halifax. "what kind of documentary?"

"Of how insane i can make people before they really believe they are what they're acting.. especially when I personally tell them to go jump off the nearest cliff and moan 'fishsticks' for a couple of days if I live...." and If you'll excuse me , Tomorrow i have some principal shooting to undergo."

Hmmmm... Halifax thought of as he personally left the director in a huff for some .. strange reason. 

Later that morning, Halifax was found in a ravine with about a 90-foot cliff in it, with a lot of serious injuries, and moaning about fishsticks and stuff as Casey drove him to the nearest hospital.. with Speedster and Ann left behind to personally question the director as the groups of flower people ran towards a small city in the desert.. and kept on running. 

"Soooo... ", speedster said to the director.. "Did halifax meet you last night?"

"Not really", the director said.. "But I do know this much.. have you ever ran into a pit of bunji spikes?"

"Not that I know of lately", speedster said. "Do you know the way to San Hose?"

"Uhh.. NO. And I'm kinda making a movie here. So could you do me a favor and run yourself into a coma?"

"WHAT?", speedster said. "I.. don't take requests like that since I don't work for you, sorry."

"Well, then you could jump off a cliff and then fall to your...", said the Director.

"I'm sorry, but I don't take to threats very much, and you personally should try to not do that sort of thing to just tell people to go jump off cliffs."

"Well, isnt' it said , 'If I told you to go jump off a cliff would you?'"

Speedster  said.. "There is something fishy about you, sir. and I for one do know this much.. I don't take directions from people I don't know. Who are you really?"

The Director said.. "Call me ....", but before he could speak, Carolina came from behind , still wearing her costume, and said.. "Don't bother, I know who that idiot is, they call him Carp. I just read his mind and I know this much, that I don't like repitition too much.. or people being told to walk off cliffs that i care for."

".. Carp", Speedster said. "OHHHH, I do know him, too."

And as those dressed as flowers personally came forth, they surrounded the director....

A few days later, the film came out, and was a surprising sucess.. save for Carp, 
who's own 'wierd disguise' perhaps caused by a gene-altering drug, went right back to the place where the bad sangurians went to, to personally wind up 
not in a very good state of mind.. especially when he met shear, who had his own visions of someday making movies.. especially this one idea he had of someday using turkeys as a allegory for life..

but that IS another story.

Carolina got over her long time in the costume. Gazlennia, though, hit her with a pillow wondering, yeah. Why does she always get the lucky roles in life while I feel like my life is indeed.. A joke?

Makes you wonder about the costumes you wear every day, huh?
