So You Want to Make a TV Show- 2nd Period- Class #15

"Well, guys, it's our last class," Dana said once the bell had rung. The room was arranged in the studio setup, the equipment was out and ready, and Dana was all set to see how they did. "You've all listened and done the work and really that's all a teacher can ask for, aside from you doing the work well. Which, to be fair, you've all done, or at least no one's screwed up so bad that I noticed, which is something to be praised in itself. It's been a pleasure, hopefully you've learned something, now go make your show."

Hannibal was milling around, making sure he wasn't going out there dry mouthed or anything. He wanted to be sharp.

"Hey, Hannibal," Dinah said, just a little wired.

Or a lot.

"Here's the script, um, #1 should be #4, but otherwise, I think I left space for you to, you know, banter or improv or whatever." Dinah peered at her own notes, biting her lower lip. "I have more? If you think it needs it?"

Hannibal took the script and skimmed it quickly. If he had some words, he could fill in the blanks.

He hoped.

"Nah, if we need to fill time, I'll tease Adora," he said, smiling. "This looks good, though. You got a background in this sort of thing?"

"Really? Noooo. Thanks," Dinah said, beaming at him. "But I figured, scores, weirdness, human interest, right? I checked it five times for errors, but if there's anything else, I guess Jenny will let you guys know." She blew out a breath. "You ready? You seem ready."

"I think so," he said and rolled his shoulders. "Had a good weekend, good night's sleep, and a lot of coffee but not enough to have to use the can while I'm up there. Can't get much more ready."

"Break a leg," Dinah said, "Only not literally," she added, Fandom being what it was. "I'm sure you'll do great."

"Yeah, let's not really break a leg," he said and shook his leg out. "Because, ow. Also, cramps my style! But thanks."

"Hey, Hannibal," said Turtle, shifting her notecards to her one specifically for him. "How's it going? Feeling ready for this?"

"As I'll ever be," he said, nodding. "Voice is good, energy is good, quips are just waiting to come rolling off my tongue."

"Good, good," Turtle nodded. "And smile a lot. You've got a good smile. Really cater to the probably minuscule female audience we'll have. Now, Dinah said that she told you something about switching #1 and #4 on the script? Well, we talked about it, and don't. Keep it as is. We're gonna save the weird stuff for later, because people like that, and they'll stay tuned for it, so try to work in a build-up for it at the beginning, yeah?"

Whaaaat? It wouldn't be a real life experience if there weren't people telling the poor anchors conflicting things, here.

"Okay, so keep the script as is?" Hannibal repeated, looking over it again. "No changes, it's good to go how I have it in my hands?"

Turtle nodded. "That right."

"Easy enough," he said, nodding. "Will do, boss!"

"You'll do great, Hannibal!" Turtle said, with an encouraging thumbs up. "Have any questions, let me know, but just go out there and be your usual charming self, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Of course, as Turtle said that, she was wondering if there could have been a better way to put that, all things considered.

He gave her an answering thumbs up and tucked the script in his back pocket. "Got it covered. Easy as pie."

"Hey, Hannibal, listen: don't screw up, okay?" Jenny said brightly.

"I'm hoping I don't," he said honestly. "But if I do, I'll blame it on the paparazzi."

Or something.
