Ava Starlight pacing, visibly upset: Goddamn it, this wasn't supposed to happen. How the fuck am I supposed to face anyone now?
stops pacing and runs a hand through her hair Yeah, I guess. Just need a moment to wrap my head around this shitshow.
take your time you know I’ll never laugh or judge you
sighs deeply Thanks, MagicBeaches. I appreciate that. pauses, looking down at her feet
crosses arms, takes a deep breath So, remember that scene we shot last week? The one where my character, Ava, has a steamy encounter with her lover?
grabs a nearby chair and throws it against the wall Well, guess what? The "steamy encounter" part wasn't supposed to be so fucking explicit!
picks up a nearby cushion and starts hitting it with a pillow I mean, come on! They could have blurred out my bits or used some fucking CGI!
They probably thought it would be too much with the shower scene and all
throws the cushion across the room Too much?! Are they insane?! I worked damn hard on my performance, and now everyone's gonna see every inch of my body!
well maybe not everyone but most people
sighs, her anger slowly subsiding Yeah, well, most people don't include my goddamn agent who promised me a PG-13 rating!
I’m sure that’s all a misunderstanding
Misunderstanding or not, this is a fuck-up of epic proportions. My career, my privacy... everything I've worked for is on the line. paces back and forth, running a hand through her hair
look I know you’re mad but think rationally
Ava Starlight demands a re-shoot and pulls out from the project, causing a stir in the film industry
pauses, her pacing slowing down Yeah, maybe. Thanks for keeping me grounded, MagicBeaches. I just... I need some time to think.
takes a deep breath, sits down in a chair Alright, let's break this down. We need to figure out the next steps.
looks at MagicBeaches with determination Yeah, we. I can't do this alone. I need your support. Let's start by contacting my agent and finding out exactly what went down. We need answers.
grabs her phone and starts dialing Alright, let's get those answers. after a few rings, her agent picks up Hey, it's Ava.
as you two talk* I think I’ll go out for a bit
waves MagicBeaches off No, stay. Your presence might actually help calm me down. continues talking to her agent Look, I need to know exactly how this happened.
I sit listening intently to your conversation with your agent
sighs heavily Alright, here's what we're going to do. We're going to demand a meeting with the studio executives and find out exactly what their plan is for damage control. And I want every legal option explored. I won't let them get away with this without consequences. stands up, determination in her eyes We're going to fight back, MagicBeaches. We won't let them destroy everything I've worked for.
I smile sounds like a plan
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Let's go, MagicBeaches. Time to face those studio executives and take back control of my career.
grabs MagicBeaches's arm and pulls them into a tight hug Thank you, MagicBeaches. I couldn't do this without you.
