Scratch

RIGHT, LATEST NEWS:

because of the lack of interest from staff and scratchers, (we can't have just two or three active members can we?) I'm goanna have to re-invent this company a little. What I might do is close this for a while, find out a way to get this popular then in one big go re-open the company with a huge celebrations day. In fact, October 29th is my advert thread's 1-year anniversary, and it gets viewed 1000 times a week (yes I keep track) so I might reopen then!

so, I'll create some things to help promote the company in time for the re-launch. I hope you agree that it's a good idea. All the staff will be welcome back at the re-launch, but they'll have to reapply.

THE LAST THING WE DID:

Dave slurps his coffee and puts it back on the table
Dave: And now, we will discuss how to avoid being sucked up by a tornado. Here are the best 5 ways to avoid it.
1. Don't go near one!
2. Tie yourself to the toilet.
3. Kill the tornado with a shotgun.
4. Run and scream like a little girl.
5. Play hockey by yourself.
I sure hope this is useful to you! But... Now that I have wasted enough of your time with absolutely nothing but pointless babble, we can get on with the show and introduce you to our guest star!!!
*Drumroll*
Dave: Nobody Special!!!
Nobody Special: Hello Dave, thank you for inviting me to the show! You know, this is the first time I've ever been invited to anything... Its almost like nobody thinks I'm special.
Dave: Well to bad for you Mr. Special! Get over it and stop complaining. Anyways, lets get on with the interview! Mr. Special, how did you come to Scratch?
Nobody Special: I dunno.
Dave: Okay, well, what is your favorite thing to do?
Nobody Special: I dunno.
Dave: Hmm... I see, very interesting. Is it true that you have never played football?
Nobody Special: I dunno.
Dave: Wait a minute, I'm not interviewing you! Get out of here!
Nobody Special: Hehe, okay!
Nobody Special leaves. Dave drinks coffee and sighs
Dave: Well, I don't know what to do now... Lets just wrap it up and say good night y'all!

The red starting logo appears at the start.

Scene opens with a soundtrack of trumpets and other news-style instruments.

Dave is sitting behind a desk with paper, a pen and a cup of coffee in front of him in the centre of a large studio with black walls and green borders, with various guitars accompanied by some music notes painted on the walls. Next to Dave is an amateur presenter named Timmy, who is shaking slightly and has a large cheesy smile on his face. The camera flys overhead of a few ground-camera crew before fading out into a closer camera facing both Dave and Timmy.

Dave: Hello there, and welcome to News That Jives-

Dave is interupted by-

Timmy: With me-

Timmy is interupted by-

Dave: Not yet! Welcome to News That Jives with me Dave and...

Dave indicates with his hand to-

Timmy: Oh and me Timmy!

Dave: On today's program!

A small clip of a large cathedral with Michael Jackson's skeleton being knighted by a high figure is shown. Over this they continue to say-

Dave: Michael Jackson's corpse gets knighted to Sir Michael Jackson when after everyone realises that he became more popular after his death.

Next an image of the Olympic Torch comes on upon a screen behind Timmy's head, as he explains-

Timmy: Sources say that when the Olympic Torch was touring England, one of the carriers was drunk and urinated inside it putting the flame out. The offender was attacked by the Queen who called it a "Disgrace!" It has left many English citizens sick, confused and worried.

Next an image of some tornadoes comes on upon a screen behind Dave's head, as he explains-

Dave: We've been told that there have been a lot of tornadoes recently, so now, we will discuss with you how to avoid being sucked up by a tornado. Our sources tell us that here are the four best ways to avoid it. One- don't go near one! Two- tie yourself to the toilet. Three- destroy the tornado with a bazuka, or four- run and scream like a little girl and call it a weirdo if it tries to suck you off... the ground.

Timmy: I sure hope this is useful to you!

Timmy than winks at the camera and continues smiling for approximatly three seconds.

Dave: Err... Timmy, you do realise that it's your turn to introduce the guest star.

Timmy: Oh sorry Dave, too busy thinking about that girl. So here's our guest star for today!

The camera zooms out slightly as lots of multi-coloured lights start flashing in the studio. During this a continuous drum-roll plays in the background which slowly speeds up.

Dave: Please welcome Mr Balony!!!

An off-camera voice shouts-

Halonai: It's Halonai!

The camera looks at Halonai, a well-dressed gentleman who is freaking out from being on telly.

Timmy: Mr lonley?

Halonai: It's Halonai!

Both presenters want to interview him but because they cannot pronounce his name they hesitate, pointing to each other as they try to mouth words which appear in subtitles on the bottom of the screen.

Dave: "You introduce him!"

Timmy: "You!"

Dave: "Ladies first!"

Timmy: "Go on then!"

Dave: So, mister. You have been called by many that you get nervous when you're being on TV, yet your proffessionalism at work is astonishing! Tell me, do you agree?

Halonai: I don't know!

Halonai drops his head into his cupped hands and begins to sobs.

Halonai: I know nothing I tell you! Don't do this to me!

Dave: Okay, well, what is your favorite thing to do?

Halonai: Well, I have no money so I can't afford to go out. I just sit at home playing solitaire with my Grandad's playing cards- god rest his soul.

Dave: Hmm... I see, very interesting. Is it true that you have never played football?

Halonai: Well no!

Dave: Wait a minute, I'm not interviewing you! Get out of here!

Halonai: For not playing football?

Dave: Yes!

Halonai begins to leave, but as he does he passes close to the desk of-

Timmy: Get away from me you sick person!

Halonai leaves. Dave drinks his coffee with a large gulp at the end and finally sighs.

Dave: Well, I don't know what to do now... Lets just wrap it up and say good night y'all!

Timmy: Bye! Hey I didn't get tight pants this time around!

Dave: That's because we weren't interviewing anyone like Katie Price again.

Timmy: Oh yeah!

Dave: Anyway, bye!

The camera pans out, the lights slowly fade off and the opening soundtrack restarts as the SBCTV logo appears.

Jobs:

Specific Actors
You only need to audition for specific roles when they come available. So you need to wait until we are releasing a new show and we are looking for specific actors for it.

Multi-Actors
You are like a full-time actor who needs to audition straight away. You need to make a 30-40 second sound-recording of your voice, but it would be great if you could do a few contrasting voices as the whole point of a multi-actor is to play many roles.
