(a blank, black stage, occupied only by an overhead projector on a cart and a white screen...)
(a rather familiar little person toddles on stage, grumbles something about discrimination, stomps off stage, and returns with a step-stool…)
(climbs on top of the step-stool, looks for markers, mutters something high-pitched and foul, hops down and walks off-stage...)
(returns with an array of Sharpies, mounts the step-stool, begins writing on the screen in red ink...)
V AND CV’S DEATH NOTE ARCHIVE
I. The author will watch each episode and take a buttload of notes.
II. The author will form these notes into a coherent and halfway entertaining synopsis of the episode.
III. The author and the chibi will stage amusing sketch comed…
(the pen fades out… the chibi tosses the pen away, causing something off-stage left to tinkle and smash… the chibi shrugs… switches to pink…)
…y routines to preface each review.
IV. The author and the chibi will update the review thread every Sunday or Monday as is possible and/or convenient, on pain of having Ryuk as a houseguest.
V. The author and the chibi will welcome comments from all thread patrons and encourage lively commentary on the series.
VI. In exchange, the thread-posters resolve not to post spoilers of any kind or spam the thread, on pain of being tracked down by the chibi and menaced with his choice of power tool.
VII. The author and the chibi will finally, at long freaking last, complete the dormant GITS thread as the final episodes rebroadcast in coming weeks.
(the stage suddenly goes dark and stays that way for a minute…)
(the lights flick on… the chibi returns to the step-stool… picks up the overhead and hurls it into the orchestra pit, where it lands with a violent smash and inexplicably bursts into flame...)
