User blog:Freefalling Lilacs/TDI:FYE Characters- Allison, Wes, and Minerva

I’ve kind of been on a writing hiatus for a while (especially on FF.net… I’ve been anticipating the flaming pitchforks and angry mob that’ll be after me when I get back there) but I’ve kind of been getting out of the slump lately, and I think Total Drama Island: For Your Entertainment might actually be able to start soon like I’ve promised for what must be months now. I have 13 of the characters drawn up now and most of the bios written (though some aren’t posted) so I think I’m doing pretty well now.

(By the way, if anybody happens to be one of those ticked off Fanfiction.net readers, I love you guys but I am so stuck on Total Drama Island: Again! right now it’s not even funny. The other day I opened it up to attempt to write and literally spent a good half hour staring at the thing.)

But back to a happier note: I have three characters to introduce this time! Oh, and since I know I'll forget to put this at the end of the blog: happy almost new year! Hope you guys have made your resolutions for 2011!

Allison Yale
"This is even more fun than that concussion I got last February!"

Audition Tape
"Go Allison! Go Allison! Go Allison!" A car zooms past the camera lense as the cameraman runs across a busy road to what looks like the edge of a bridge at night. A crowd of people are crowded around a tan girl with bright cherry red hair holding her hands in the air. What looks like an elastic cord is attached to her ankle. She motions for the camera to come closer.

"Hey, I’m Allison!" she shouts over the crowd. "I am so glad that you guys brought back TDI for a new season! And trust me, I’m your gal for a season bigger and better than the last one. I can bring you excitement! Pizzazz! Drama! There is no way I'm going to be going home early. And if I won, I’d use the money to pay off all the medical bills my parents owe for all the… um… “accidents” I’ve gotten into in the past.” She winks at the camera and makes air quotes around accidents. “Accidents that were totally worth it, that is!” She gives the camera a bright smile. "So bring me onto the show if you want this season to be... EXTREME!"

On 'extreme' she falls backwards over the railing, letting out an excited yell. The camera rushes to the edge of the bridge and looks over the railing. You can dimly see some of Allison's jewelry flying in the air around her wrists as she topples towards the lake beneath them. Suddenly, the elastic cord tugs and she's bouncing back up towards the camera... just as sirens sound. As Allison lands on the railing and the crowd cheers, a police car comes skidding to a stop in front of the crowd.

"Out of the way, out of the way!" shouts a policeman. "Allison Alexis Yale! Are you aware that you're jumping on a public bridge at night with no warning? And no helmet?"

Allison's triumphant expression falls. "Oh come on Dad, did you have to bring the entire squad this time?"

"Yes I did!" Her father marches up towards her in a police uniform stopping in front of the camera. "Get this thing away from me!" He places a hand over the lense and the camera goes to static.

Wesley &quot;Wes&quot; Winfrey

Audition Tape
The camera turns on to show a light brown haired boy adjusting the lense. When he seems satisfied by how it looks, he backs up and sits down on the bed behind him and smiles.

“Hey there Total Drama, I’m Wes and even though you haven’t heard of me yet hopefully you will eventually.” He picks up the guitar that was on the bed next to him and puts it on his lap, strumming it once to check the tuning. “I play guitar, but I’m not one of those usual musicians you see on TV with all the angst and the moodiness and the depression. I’m kind of the opposite. I mean, what’s the point of being miserable all the time?” Wes gives the camera a bright smile. “But anyway, I wrote you guys a quick song to tell you guys a little more about me.”

Just as Wes starts to strum a tune on his guitar, a woman’s voice yells at the top of her lungs. “WES, I’M GOING TO GO VISIT YOUR BROTHER! ARE YOU COMING?!”

Wes sighs. “Mom, I’ll come in a minute! I’m kind of busy-”

“YOU KNOW VISITING HOURS ARE ENDING SOON!”

“Hang on a second, Mom!” He puts down the guitar and gives the camera a sympathetic look. “Sorry guys, I guess I’ll have to cut my tape short. But, um, I’d love to be on the show! So pick me!”

Minerva Patrikovis
"Oh my gosh... when you said it was a secret, you meant I couldn't tell anyone?"

 * Color: Orange
 * Musician/Band: Taylor Swift
 * Celebrity: Neil Patrick Harris

 * Ex TDI-Contestant: Owen

Audition Tape
“Is it on yet?”

“Give it a second, Minerva.”

“…How about now?”

“Not yet. Wait until the little green light turns on.”

The camera’s screen suddenly flicks on to show a blonde girl sitting on a couch looking at the person holding the camera. “Can I talk now?”

The girl behind the camera sighs. “Yes, you can talk now.”

“Okay, so hi.” The blonde gives a wave. “I’m Minerva Patrikovis, I’m 16, naturally blonde, blue eyed, around 5’7”-ish if you don’t count the ponytail-”

“Could you get on with it?” The camera girl asks, “It’s on low battery.”

“Sorry,” Minerva frowns, “So anyway, TDI is totally for me. I was meant for reality TV, since it looks like so much fun. Plus, I love reading about all the reality stars in the tabloids, and they seem like they live such interesting lives. Who wouldn’t want to be on TV-?”

“Minerva…”

“I’m friendly, I’m enthusiastic, I’m willing to try new things, and I’d really like to win the money for my family since I’m pretty sure my dad could use it. Oh, and I would love to meet some of the old contestants. Owen was my favorite, but I pretty much love them all… except Heather and Alejandro. They were a bit too evil for my taste. But I loved them as a couple! I totally didn’t see that coming and… wait, why is the light blinking?”

“I already told you,” the camera girl says, “we’re running out of battery.”

“Oh!” Minerva shrieks, and then starts talking even faster, “I would kill to meet Chris McLean, but not in a creepy Sierra way. I’d love to get his autograph or something or maybe even a picture with him. That’d make my day. Oh, and I even like Chef Hatchet! He really didn’t get enough credit in the first few seasons since cooking is hard! Especially with limited ingredients and a sucky camp stove. So I really hope he’s coming back. Oh, and if possible could you guys bring Blaineley back? She was so much fun-”

The camera shuts off mid-sentence, obviously because it ran out of battery.
