User blog:Freefalling Lilacs/TDI:FYE- Risty, Gabe, and Theme Song

I really wish my updates on this site (and pretty much every site I'm on) were a lot less random and that I can get to a more regular updating schedule eventually. My recent inactivity had been due to some unfortunate personal issues that I'm not going to talk about online where anybody can read it, but I'm hoping I can keep getting my characters up quickly and then eventually start posting some chapters for Total Drama Island: For Your Entertainment.

Speaking of characters, I'll be showing off Risty and Gabe in this blog. Risty is my favorite picture so far and Gabe's is very... um, Gabe, so I'm very pleased with how they turned out. Allison and Minerva will be up next for anybody wondering.

But for once, this blog post isn't just about the characters. It's about the story too. I actually have a theme song that I like written up, so I figured I'd put it up here and show it off. It does hint to some characters' friendships, rivalries, and a few relationships, though I can't promise you how long any of those will last...

Audition Tape

 * The camera turns on to show a soccer game in progress. It zooms in to show one of the players on the blue team, a slim girl with long curly hair that is poofing around her as she runs after the ball. She rushes after the player on the opposite team with the ball and slips her foot in from the side, kicking the ball to the side and out of the other player's reach. One of her teammates dribbles the ball and scores a goal. The team cheers and they all high five as the referee calls halftime.
 * The curly haired girl runs over to the bench and starts chugging a bottle of water. She then gives the camera a friendly smile as she wipes the sweat from her forehead.
 * "Hi producers," she says in Boston accent, "I'm Risty Cooper and I think TDI is where I belong. I've always been a fan of the show and think you guys needa little more representation from the decent athletes out there. No offense to Tyler or anything, but he just wasn't cut out to be a jock." She takes another swig of her water before continuing to speak. "I'm confident, competitive, and friendly and think I could do great on the show both in and out of challenges."
 * Before Risty can continue talking, a player practicing behind her accidentally kicks a ball towards her. They shriek to warn her and she ducks, so the soccer ball hits the camera directly. It goes flying to the grass beneath it and lands on its side, a crack running through the lense. Risty glares at it and then turns to the player behind her.
 * "What were you thinking?! That camera's expensive!"
 * The camera shuts off, most likely due to being damaged.

Gabriel "Gabe" Patterson IV

Audition Tape

 * The camera turns on to show an empty hallway in what looks like a mansion judging by the size and decor. Noise is coming from the farthest door on the right. Eventually a tan, dark haired boy walks out of the room as he is tying a tie. When he turns the corner, he notices the camera and flashes it a charming smile.


 * “Ah, just on time.” He tells the cameraman. “Hello there Total Drama, my name is Gabriel Patterson IV, just Gabe is fine for those of you who can’t spell, and I would like to be on your show.” The camera follows him as he walks down the hall into a room with a large full body mirror against one wall. He pulls a comb from the pocket of his black pants and starts to curly hair. “Let me keep it this tape short and sweet for you: I don’t want to be on the show because I need the money, as obviously I already have some. I’m not doing it for fame either, since I could have that if I wanted. I’m on to show I’m the best. Because, I mean, come on. I obviously am.” He holds out his arms in a showing off manner as if to prove it.


 * “So if you want some entertainment from a perfect guy, just sign up Gabe Patterson for your show.” Gabe gives the camera a wink and it shuts off.

Theme Song
The opening theme music begins to play as the cameras burst through the gates to McLean Studios. Paparazzi are standing at either side of the gate and their cameras flash. At the end of the crowd is Chris McLean whining to reporter Rachel Claire, who is standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding a microphone.

Dear Mom and Dad I’m doing fine

The camera goes between Chris and Rachel and enters the front doors of the hotel. Josh is sitting on an armchair in the lobby. Once he sees the camera in front of him he jumps in fear and flips the chair backwards.

You guys are on my mind

The camera quickly looks down at Josh on the ground as it flies over him to go down the hall to the kitchens. Eric is trying to pull an overflowing pot off of the stove but burns his hands and drops it on the ground. Chef Hatchet lurks behind him and glares at the mess.

You asked me what I wanted to be  And now I think the answer is plain to see

The camera goes up the stairs to the second floor where Elena and Gabe are arguing as they walk down the hallway. Elena marches through an open door and runs her hands through her hair in frustration, closing the door in Gabe’s face behind her.

I wanna be famous.

The camera rushes past Elena and out an open window where it drops down to an open field of grass. Cara is sitting in the grass with Camille sitting across from her. Cara picks up a bug from the grass and lets it crawl along her hand. Camille freaks out at the sight of it and quickly gets to her feet, grass staining the ends of her dress in the process.

I wanna live close to the sun

The camera zooms into the window of the ‘50’s Diner set where Ophelia and Victor are sharing a milkshake.

Pack your bags ‘cause I’ve already won

The camera moves between their faces and out the swinging door of the diner. Avery runs past screaming with a flying metal contraption right on her tail. After a minute Zack walks behind her with a joystick in hand controlling the machine and snickering.

''Everything to prove  Nothing in my way''

The camera flies around Zack towards the high school set, specifically the cafeteria. Inside Paul is stacking playing cards into a perfect pile and is trying to put the final card on top. Just as he is about to place it on Isaac jumps up from behind him and scares him, knocking over the whole tower. Paul glares and Isaac smirks as the camera passes by them.

I’ll get there one day

Outside on the sports fields of the high school set, Risty is kicking a soccer ball. She kicks it to Robert who is in the goal, but it bounces off of his head because he isn’t paying attention.

'Cause I wanna be famous

On the bleachers next to the field, Donna is trying to take a picture of the action on the field. As she is just about to take a shot, Sebastian pops up behind her and leans on her shoulder with a grin. She jerks to the side and he falls through the bleachers.

Na na nananana nanananana na nanana na na

The camera goes through the slits in the bleachers to the Victorian castle set where Monique is sewing a hem on a skirt Irina is wearing. A giant drawing of the outfit Irina is wearing that Monique drew is pinned to the stone wall beside them. Irina brushes her hair over her shoulder just as the camera passes behind her.

I wanna be  I wanna be

The camera passes by Angel and Allison sitting on the stairs of the prison set. Angel has a lighter in his outstretched hand while Allison is holding a handful of flowers from the field Cara and Camille were sitting it over the flame. Both stare with mesmerized looks on their faces.

''I wanna be famous  I wanna be''

The camera passes by Wes sitting against a tree in between sets with his guitar trying to write music notes on a paper. He scribbles out what he just wrote and crumples up the page, throwing it in the large pile he already has stacked. The camera crashes into the pile and fades to white.

I wanna be  I wanna be famous

The camera fades back in from the perspective of Minerva’s web cam as the theme is whistled. She adjusts the lense and backs up, nodding when she’s satisfied and then runs to join her team. The scene is shown to be the Team’s Choice Awards where the Oscars are sitting on one side and the Emmys are on the other, Chris and Chef Hatchet in the middle.

At the last second a group of paparazzi with cameras pop up from behind the curtain and start taking pictures. As everybody scrambles, the camera zooms out to the show the show’s logo in neon lights over their heads.
