WHO || Burt, Martha, Des, Finnick, Mark, Spike, Arthur [closed]
WHAT || While Finnick continues his celebrity charade, the other Knights have the chance to sneak around and try to find out more information about the mysterious Chad Becksworth's activities...
WHERE || NOVA Records HQ, New Orleans, LA
WHEN || Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012; any time of day
HOW || Actionspam

[ It took a few weeks to process Finnick's fake background paperwork and get his contract with NOVA in order. In the meantime, Burt's been keeping in close touch with Finnick and Des, arranging for different talent coaches to work with their new star on singing, dancing, and all that other crap. He's sent plenty of songs home with Finnick to start learning, and now that everything's processed, he's arranged for him to come to the studio, where he'll be reporting daily to work.

Of course, this gives the Knights the ideal in, as what celebrity doesn't need an entourage? Mark even bought everyone outrageous entourage clothing to wear. 8) You like it. ]

Impressive. [he raises his eyebrows at martha's life choices before going back to examining the list of flavors and listening to burt.]

I can hardly wait. [he has really mastered the art of sounding bored-because-i-am-better-than-everyone-else-in-the-room.] How do you plan on getting that to come across?

[starfucker]

[ one of the stylists moseys over to martha at the cart, and just picks up a lock of her hair skeptically. "Oh honey," he says and shakes his head, tsking.

Meanwhile, Burt talks animatedly to Finnick as he's fussed over. ]

Lesson number one, kid: talent does not a celebrity make. Drama does. In fact, if people know who you are before they even hear you sing, they won't care what you sound like. We just pay the right mags to start printing stories about you as if people should already care, and they will because we told them to.

We'll just start trotting you out to celebrity parties, arranging for some public scenes, that kind of thing. Maybe we'll start linking your name to some celebrity hotties. Any preferences?

[Martha looks somewhat affronted by the stylist's tone of voice, but that doesn't mean that she isn't going to let him have his way with her hair. And her makeup. And whatever the hell else he feels like not like that.]

Definitely not one of the Kardashians. [Martha wonders for a moment if the Kardashians aren't some sort of Shadowkind, but decides against voicing this opinion.] I mean, I reckon it'd create loads of drama and get him noticed, but it's just trashy at this point. Like, extra-trashy.

[starfucker]

I was thinking of staying off the reality TV circuit. Shit is a trainwreck when you're trying to light a fire under the ass of anybody's career.

[65]

[he does not even know what they're talking about right now. wtf.]

Yeah, I'd rather stay away from that.

[starfucker]

[ it's ironic b/c finnick is a reality tv star, see. ]

Too bad Miley Cyrus is marrying Thor's brother. I'll work on figuring out who's single or could be single or who could be stepping out on their significant other if they're far from single.

[65]

[if he only knew :'( ]

Wait, what? Is pairing me up with someone part of the plan?

[aw here it goes.]

[starfucker]

Not with any kind of permanency, kid, don't sweat it. But dropping your name next to a big star's can go a long way.

[65]

[why does he even bother trying to be surprised. whatever, this isn't his first rodeo. he shrugs.]

Whatever you think will help. [he finally settles on some ice cream and gets to stuffing his face with it.]

[starfucker]

Alright, whatever you do to him, let's stay away from a Bieber haircut.

[65]

[WHO THE FUCK IS BEIBER finnick thinks to himself while sitting around getting his hurr did ... ]

[aproperdoctor]

At least he won't look as much like a girl as Justin Bieber does, hair or no.

[Martha makes the most helpful comments. But at least she's gettin' her hairs did.]

[starfucker]

[ Annnnd they do a 32 disguise check styling job on Finnick B) So he comes out looking like a new man. Or justin timberlake. idk.

meanwhile they just get a 26 on martha which sounds a lot less but is still banging hot. hot enough that burt leans over next to her at one point. ] When did you get her, gorgeous?

[ yes, he's an asshole. ]
