Noir: The Awards(Part I)

It was awards day and I was ready, had my suit and Emma Watson at my side. Before I left my apartment though I looked at my Caller ID and frowned, it was Seal again....not today buddy, not today.

So as I rode my Limo(AKA Sedan) down to the Award Ceremony I spotted familiar faces. Lucian, Marlowe and CzarTim. My competitors...next year that is. This year they were still "Nominees" for Best Journalist. I was quickly ushered into the building with Emma hanging onto my shoulder. Tonight was going to be a good night, I was nominated for Best New Producer and I might actually win, but no this isn't all about me. This is also about everyone that isn't me(sadly). So as took my seat beside Emma.

Before I knew Mac was up on the stage flailing. The Talent awards had been handed out. Elizabeth Banks, Jude Law, William Friedkin and Amanda Seyfried were among the few, the glorious, the winners. I was chosen to announce best Creative Company. As I struggled to get to the stage and announce RS as Winner I felt my tape recorder slipping....but it didn't fall. All was well. RS ended up winning which was awesome for him. I left the stage hastily and prepared for the next award to be called up...

Close Enough For Noir: A Merger Like No Other

For the last week things had been moving slow at the office. Toran didn't take sleeping on the job lightly but I had nothing else to do but to my surprise a man came into my office.

"You need an appointment to get in here." I relayed over to him.

"I've got big news, game changing news!" He told me.

"Game changers? Like I haven't heard that one before." I laughed off his claims before he slung something over to me. Two logos, one Wonder Inc, the other was Mac Studios. "The hell is this?" I asked him.

"A merger, I thought it was a lie....but I was wrong!" He yelled at me before quickly fleeing my office.

"Okay, this is getting a little stupid. Time to nip this problem in the bud." I said before grabbing my coat, it was time to meet CzarTim.

I walked into Tim's office after twenty minutes of hard questioning by his secretary. She was terrible at her job.

"Hello." The man spokes to me with a noticeable gusto in his voice.

"Hey Tim, you need to fire that secretary of yours." I ordered him. He chuckled back in response. "No seriously, she's terrible."

"Well, I assume you came here for a reason." He began.

"Wonder Inc, Mac Studios. Shoot." I commanded him once again.

"Yes Mac and me have combined our studios. It's a wonderful merger in my opinion." He spoke out to me.

"What's your mission plan?" I asked.

"Well, I had been thinking about closing down Wonder. It was too time consuming. However, I decided it'd be better to ask Mac if he'd like to help run things instead. So our mission plan is to make money. Lots of it." He chit-chatted off. I pretended to write all of this down in my notepad, instead though I drew a bunny(bunnies are awesome).

"Any films on the horizon?" I queried the man.

"Tons. The good thing about bringing Mac on board is he's the most prolific producer in the game." He told me. I nodded in response.

"Is Mac a good business partner though?" I questioned him again.

"Well, it might be to early to tell, but I'm optimistic. So far it's been great." He answered once again. It was time for a question to hurt his head, to psych him out.

"What's your favorite news source?" I asked him with a huge grin on my face.

"WordPunch!" He answered with a fierce growl, one could assume I was pummeling him from the loud response....as his security force did and promptly escorted me from the building. For the second time in a month I found myself face first on the sidewalk clinging to my Tape Recorder. The only indication of a job well done.

Close Enough for Noir: Oh Emm Geeeeeeeeeee

So I was minding my own business, walking around Hollywood. Offering my services to old women everywhere(my only demographic besides Toran) and before I knew it I spotted a new face! One that seemed to be unblemished in this dark world of Scriptwriting and Film Production. This is going to be good.
