[Jaunt] Gerbils. Why did it have to be gerbils?

[carbonatedscientist]

Should anyone find a gerbil where a gerbil should not be, please return it to me as soon as possible. It would seem that the stars of Giant Gerbils from Mars...have escaped.

[Sento hates everything this production has chosen to be.]

That’s a good idea. Don’t want to catch anything unfortunate on film.

[carbonatedscientist]

It's probably a little late for that, depending on your definition of unfortunate.

They already had to throw out some footage because two of the gerbils were making more gerbils in the background of a shot. And they were surprised, imagine that.

Those are the kinds of shots they’re going to focus on when this film is getting roasted on the internet in fifty years.

[carbonatedscientist]

Well, I don't intend on sticking around here that long, so the fruits of my labor will go unappreciated in my time. Tragic.

[desperate_times_right]

The world wasn’t ready for your special effects genius, clearly.

[carbonatedscientist]

I'll be a legend who only worked on this movie before mysteriously vanishing.

So I'll at least have that mystique going for me.

[desperate_times_right]

Revolutionizing the standards for animal care on film sets. That’s not half bad.

[carbonatedscientist]

There are worse things to be remembered for, I suppose.

...even if not being remembered for my keen scientific mind seems like such a waste.

[desperate_times_right]

I don’t think they need a lot of those around here.

[carbonatedscientist]

Which is why my presence here is baffling, really.

[desperate_times_right]

That’s true of all of us, I suppose.
