Our Lady of Fandom [Sunday morning]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

After Sunday services were over, the prop department worked frantically to turn the church into a somber, sad place, full of flowers that would not at all be recycled for the weddings later in the day and a giant wreath with Cade's headshotpicture inside.

He was too young. TOO YOUNG!

Come and pay your respects, Fandom. Say nice things about him, or don't. Fling yourself on the coffin and cry! Remember that caffeine addiction was real*!







*Ehh.

Arrive!

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Sobbing, of course, but don't ruin your makeup.

Luke Skywalker arrived in a somber black suit with an American flag on the lapel. Just because his Senate dreams had been temporarily squashed didn't mean he didn't love his country, dammit!

He sat near the back where his father couldn't see him.

Anakin wasn't sad, he was livid.

The drug dealers of Fandom would pay for killing his...whatever Cade was! They will RUE THE DAY.

RUE IT.

Ben was there too because Fry plays too many Skywalkers, looking fairly broken up about this.

He'd thought Cade had beaten his addiction, and that was the only reason Ben'd left for a sixth month trip to the Himalayas.

Well that and his actor thought he was going to be able to transition to movies.

Jonothon Evan Starsmore, the stunningly handsome and ridiculously wealthy rock-star descendant of the late Jack Starsmore, heir to the vast Starsmore Fortune, esteemed leader of the mighty and powerful Clan Akkaba, and wielder of Mysterious Powers of Which He Never Spoke, had only known the dearly departed briefly. They'd had the same caffeine dealer, back before the series of twists and horrible lows that had led to Jonothon's stint in the priesthood while he'd attempted to kick the habit. But caffeine was a tragic drug, and this was a tragic death, and it was the least he could do, really, to stop by to pay his respects.

Button up your goddamn shirt, Jonothon. This is a funeral.

Jo wept for Cade. Wept like her character hadn't gotten any focus in months! Wept for the young life lost as she tried to remember which one was Cade again.

Atton wasn't sobbing.

He was standing in a corner, in the shadows, sipping out of a cup and looking menacing.

Was it coffee in his cup...? Who knew.

Ender sat down on a bench and folded his hands in his lap. His eyes were shiny with tears.

Slightly more tears for the first five minutes, until he suddenly and miraculously shifted back to his original actor (stupid contract disputes) who had been fired years ago for his inability to cry properly.

To make up for it, his eyes were now covered in red eyeshadow.

Howie hated churches. He couldn't wear a hat in them, which was the only way he could disguise himself as a boy. Which is why he claimed to have converted to Judaism years ago and was currently wearing a yarmulke.

He definitely had the Skywalker genes for scheming, even if he wasn't related at all.

He was also wearing sunglasses because boy were his eyes bloodshot after last night. He got like NO sleep.

Bruce was actually kind of sad. He liked Cade. He spent a lot of money on caffeine, and that money found its way back to Bruce. Oh well, someone like him was bound to have a few illegitimate children who were now orphaned. And if he could get a Skywalker orphan into the Wayne Foundation, the town would belong to Bruce.

Eleanor Skywalker was sulking. Not because she was sad. She sort of didn't remember how she was related to this Cade guy, and hey: one less Skywalker moved her up in the line of succession.

No, she was sulking because Sia had said Cade was her best bet for more caffeine pills, and her supply was getting dangerously low, and here he was, dead.

Thanks a lot, Cade.

Surreal was there, all in black, complete with a long, dark veil. This way no one could see she wasn't actually crying. This was the perfect spot to look for Cara Mason.

Of course Pam was here. Nikolai might be here. And she was really sorry about this Cade kid who'd died, or something.

Jeffy rolled down the path to the church's door. A spooky chord played, and the camera zoomed in for a moment on the cursed statue he was now carrying around everywhere -- and then the wheel on his chair broke.

The chair fell over, and Jeffy rolled around on the ground in a scene that was awkwardly cut because they'd only filmed it once, the actor had sprained his ankle falling out of the chair, and someone at least had the good sense to not use the footage of the paraplegic swearing about how much his ankle hurt.

Then he rolled his wheelchair (which was inexplicably fixed) into the back of the church. It was full of Skywalkers -- he thought. Was Cade a Skywalker? And he would make them all PAY.

Jeffy found a nice shadow in the corner to lurk in and rubbed his hands together evilly.

Hannibal showed up looking suitably grave. This was the big event of the morning, after all, and he would hate to miss it. You never knew what connections you might make.

Jaina wasn't too torn up because she and Cade didn't have much screen time ever, and she had other things to do, but she thought she'd make an appearance.

Plus, wearing all black along with a huge black hat and dark sunglasses made her look mysterious. It was a good look for her.

Eulogize!

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

This could get good. Feel free to make up all kinds of stuff about Cade's background.

Re: Eulogize!

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Howie got up to speak. "I didn't know Cade at all, but I think this just goes to show how big of a problem caffeine is around here. I know I would never be caught dead using it."

"Wait, I didn't mean it like that. Um. Sorry for everyone's loss."

And with that, nobody would have any reason to suspect that Howie was secretly responsible for Cade's overdose.

Re: Eulogize!

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I've known Cade for years," Bruce said. "The Wayne Foundation has done what it can to help youths like him who get started on the bean and just can't quite quit it. It's a deadly addiction and I'm just sorry we weren't able to save his life...."

Bruce raised a finger to his mouth for a moment to signal that he was very choked up about this tragedy. "I'm not prepared to fail anyone like Cade again, though. If I really want to make a difference with this drug epidemic, I need to stop thinking so small. And that's why I'd like to announce my candidacy for Governor of this fine state. And when I win office, I promise you that the very first thing I do will be getting this caffeine problem under my control once and for all. Thank you. Vote Wayne!"

Eleanor had had the good sense to put some eye drops in her eyes before this speech, so she looked teary.

"What can I say about Cade, that you don't already know?" she began, hoping her voice trembled. This was a great chance to earn a Daytime Emmy. "About his winning smile, about his big, generous heart, about his quiet, noble spirit?"

Or the fact that he totally looked bangable -- shame that they were related and all that.

"The stars that shine the brightest always seem to burn out the fastest," she added, wiping copiously at her eyes. "Someone so good, with such a beautiful soul, simply couldn't last in this harsh world of ours. His star will shine down from the heavens now."

She took out a tissue to help with the eye-blotting, and to draw a breath for her last bit.

"We Skywalkers seem to be cursed by the gods with adversity and strife," she said, trying to look pitiful. "We will overcome this tragedy, as we have overcome all others. By pulling together."

And the tragic fire that took out most of the people who'd inherit before her? She'd overcome that like a boss.

Sing!

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Because it's just not a soap opera funeral without someone getting up there and singing "I Honestly Love You."

Re: Sing!

[holyshitsnacks.livejournal.com]

Pam didn't know "I Honestly Love You." But she was trying to jump-start her career, and maybe get more screen time. So you were going to all be subjected to her anyway.

"This goes out to a very special angel," Pam said, biting her lip sadly. "Rest in peace, Kane."

"Ohhhhh ...
At the beginning, you were so sweet
We went shopping, we went out to eat
Your lips so soft, your curly hair
But those sunglasses were always there!

As time went by, I started to fear
You never let me get too near
Put the shades up, kept me out
Then I learned what you were all about

I can't see! Your Nikolai-ing eyes!
Show me your! Nikolai-ing eyes!
You hide behind! Those Nikolai-ing eyes!
And you'll never seeeeeeeee my love!

I can't see your eyes, but you saw me
I watched you walking down the street
Your arms around her tiny hips
I saw you when you kissed her lips!

I can't see! Your Nikolai-ing eyes!
Show me your! Nikolai-ing eyes!
You hide behind! Those Nikolai-ing eyes!
And you'll never seeeeeeeee my love!

I was always so good and true
Maybe I was too good for you
Maybe you don't want my heart
Time for me to make a new start

I can't see! Your Nikolai-ing eyes!
Show me your! Nikolai-ing eyes!
You hide behind! Those Nikolai-ing eyes!
And you'll never seeeeeeeee my love!

Yooooooooooooooou'll never seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!"

Catfight!

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Look, I don't know your life.

Lurk in the back!

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Possibly in a disguise. This could potentially be the entire crowd...

Re: Lurk in the back!

[suitably_heroic]

Atton: still lurking.

By now, the thing he was sipping out of was a giant coffee canteen, just for emphasis.

Other stuff I didn't think of!

La.

This weekend is so full of crack.
