interactive fic! Toonami Anime Auditions!

[TOM 002]

(Yes, a chain-link fic. Read this story and add whatever you want. The only rule here is that you please use anime characters. You can use whichever one you want, so long as it is worthy of Toonami)

***

(Scene: the Absolution. TOM has been in the viewing room for quite some time now while the WB's poor exuse for Toonami is being broadcasted)

SARA: (appearing on one of the screens) TOM? You've been in the viewing room ever since we got to this universe. Shouldn't you be at the cockpit?

TOM: (noticing SARA) Oh. I guess. But then again, they're reruns. Besides, I'm trying to find something more interesting for our block. (on the screens are various other anime series. Inu-yasha, Slayers, Bubblegum Crisis, etc.)

SARA: Interesting. But I believe that the lineup we've got is sufficient enough.

TOM: Um SARA, that's the point. We need something new. After the 391st time of watching DBZ, I say we need variety. And I see that in the other series.

SARA: Would that explain why you sent all those invitations to those other dimensions?

TOM: Yup. Now let's get outta here. I can't stand all this Scooby Doo in the circuitry. (insert WB Toonami ending here)

(Meanwhile, in Ghost Planet industries, various anime characters are in a waiting room)

Lina: YEE GODS!!!! I'M STARVING!!! WHERE'S THE FOOD?!

Ranma: (from several characters behind) Hey! Up in front! Shut up! You sound like my father!

Lina: Hey! That's no way to talk to a beautiful young woman!

Ranma: Woman? No woman can be THAT flat.

Lina: Why you....YOUR DEAD MEAT!!!! (Lina starts chasing Ranma)

Tamahome: (from another part of the room) So you get one of these too?

Sylia: Yeah. (Holds slip) It says "Ghost Planet Industries". Any idea why?

Moltar: (Walking through the main office door) Attention everyone! Attention! I'll be regestering you guys for your interviews now, so could I please have your resumes? (looks at Ranma and Lina) Hey you two! Stop that!

Lina: No one calls me flat and lives! DRAGON SLAVE!!!!!! (A huge blast engulfs the room. When it clears, everyone is charred and an absolute mess)

Moltar: Yeesh. I hate cleanups. Could we get a couple of DOKs and Clydes here?

Will Toonami ever be the same? Who will TOM choose? And how will the current cast of Toonami and Adult swim cope? That's up to you.

[The Dork Knight]

Tokyo Pig: Hello...
Moltar: NEXT!

[Steve Jester]

After Pilot Candidate recieved their dishonorable discharge from Adult Swim Action, the cast decided to go and try to get their old jobs back at Toonami.

"Kizna, I think you should be the spokesperson for the cast," Zero said.

"Why?"

"Because Enna's too afraid to screw it up," Hiead said.

Moltar walks out and sees the PC cast, "Didn't you guys apply earlier in the year?"

"Yea," Kizna said.

"I'll review your old appilication. Don't call us, we'll call you," Moltar said as he rushed the PC cast out the door. "Where do these pepople come from? NEXT!"

[Dark Vicious]

Ranma: I'll kill you !!!!

Lina: Not if I kill you first!!!

Moltar:QUIT IT!!! I'ts Ranma 1/2's turn

Ryoga:Me and Akane will go

Ranma:NO

Ryoga: Watch me wheres the door?

Ranma: I'll go

~Two hours later~

Moltar: Hey gimme that bagel I paid for that oh well I'll call you if we need you
NEXT!

[Jeff Harris]

(Scene: Ghost Planet Waiting Room)

Bare-chested guy with a bionic eye: [thinking] I wonder if I could jimmy the circuitry with a thought . . . or maybe my pole.

Short, thin guy: [thinking] Man, didn't know that Hakkai's dragon could turn into a space ship. Sure am hungry. Maybe I could grab that bagel before this guy beside me could . . . [talking]
OW!

BCG: Hey, haven't you ever heard of letting your elders go first?

STG: I may look like a kid, but I'm 500 years old. Been trapped in a rock all these years, but . . .

Moltar: Goku?

Both Guys: Yes?!?

Moltar: [confused] Um . . . Son Goku?!?

Goku STG: That's me, I'm representing Paradise Hunt - - er, um, Saiyuki.

Goku BCG: That's me, representing Midnight Eye Goku.

Moltar: Yeah, that's the thing. We already have two Gokus already on Toonami, and quite frankly, we don't need anymore. Midnight?

Midnight Eye Goku: Yeah?

Moltar: We also have a guy that sounds like you hosting the block.

ME Goku: But what about that Roger Smith dude?

Moltar: Over at the Natorium. It's a fancy word for swimming pool. Besides, you're too raw for the crowd. You and the kid from Saiyuki gotta go.

Saiyuki Goku: But we got 52 episodes, two movies, and an OVA.

Moltar: Look, kid, make an impression on the small market first, and maybe we'll give you a shot in a couple of years.

S Goku: Awwwwwwww.

Moltar: Thems the breaks kid. Sorry.

Both Leave

Moltar: [shouting] And if you see that Kugo guy from StarZinger, ask him who does he think he's kidding? NEXT?!?

[Jeff Harris]

Scene: Outside Ghost Planet Industries building

Familiar picketers outside shouting in unison.

Toonami's Unfair!
We All Belong In There!
Toonami's Unfair!
We All Belong In There!

Moltar: What's going on now?

Lion-O: We're striking against the unfair treatment of shows of Western origin and apparent favoritism of anime shows on the Toonami lineup.

Dot Matrix: Many of us lost our jobs in favor of actors on anime shows.

Race: And many of us became scapegoats as to what's wrong with the block and got voted off.

Moltar: I know, I'm trying to work that out. I already got He-Man a slot on the block, and he's been out of work since '90.

James Bond, Jr.: It's not enough. Some of us didn't even get considered for the block.

Jack: And some of us are on the network, and not within the block.

Flint: And some of us got put in an afterhours slot after the block with little to no advertisement.

Razor: And some shows got scrapped long before the block got considered. Do you know how much jet fuel costs these days?

Moltar: Well, some of you guys are over at the Boomerang building.

Mightor: Boomerang? Nobody knows what that is nor where it's at. Toonami's the place for us.

Moltar: Tranformer's on Toonami.

Optimus Primal: That's not Transformers. That's . . . that's Pokemon in a robot shell. And they don't represent US.

Moltar: Look, look, I don't want to cause no problems, but check with us around the fall. I know the Girls want to be prime-time only stars again, and they're tired of working around the clock. I can't make any promises, but I'm going to convince the big bosses to put at least a few of you into consideration for a slot, deal?

AndrAIa: Just as long as it's not that Sakura brat.

Matrix: Or Gene Starwind. Ain't he still over at Adult Swim?

Moltar: That's what I heard. He might be coming ba . . . [Moltar's speech is interrupted when Matrix points his gun at Moltar's head] . . . I'll see what we can do.

Matrix: Good answer. Come on, we gotta move.

AndrAIa: Sorry about that, Moltar, but Enzo always gets mad when he doesn't have his way.

Moltar: So I've noticed. Good luck. NEXT!

[Jeff Harris]

Scene: Waiting Room

Amelia: Miss Lina, just give him the bagel.

Lina: No way, kid. I mean, geez! I fought demigods, saved kingdoms, faced crazy mothers, travelled with a goofy idiot sidekick - - - no offense, Gourry.

Gourry (stuffing food into his mouth): None taken.

Lina: And now I got this letter from the middle of nowhere telling me to come to this planet in the middle of no where to audition for a cable block that I've never heard of.

Zelgadis: Funny how everybody under the sun knows of the great and powerful Lina Inverse, and yet you make no attempts to know of anybody but yourself. You only care about what you want, what you need, and what you desire.

Lina: And your point is?

Amelia: Mr. Zelgadis is right. Perhaps these "Too-naw-mee" folks think that you . . . we got the right stuff. At least they know what you're all about, unlike those Fox folks.

Lina: Well, if the folks at Toonami were so high and mighty, don't you think they would have had more bagels out here?

Zelgadis: . . .

Moltar (in another room): 114 episodes, four movies AND a new OVA in November?

Seiya: Yep, that's right.

Moltar: And you're the Bronze Saints of the series Saint Seiya?

Seiya: Yes.

Moltar: Greek myths and battles?

Seiya: Correct.

Moltar: Good guys turning bad? Bad guys turning good?

Ikki: You HAVE been paying attention.

Moltar: Ah, Ikki, the baddest warrior on the planet since Vegeta. Not a bad resume. Big in all points of the globe except North America. But wait a minute. Didn't you all used to be the Ronin Warriors.

Shiryu: No. We get that . . . a lot, unfortunately.

Moltar: Well, you guys got a good resume, world recognition, and from the looks of things, a good group behind you, Bandai.

Seiya: Um, actually, it's ADV that's backing us. They're good too.

Moltar: Ah, I've been corrected. Sorry. Well, you are indeed of a Toonami calibur. We'll keep in touch. Good luck. NEXT!

[Jeff Harris]

Scene: Toonami Control Center, Moltar's on the receiver making a call.

Moltar: Hey TOM?

TOM (aboard the Absolution): Yo.

Moltar: I need your help, man. About the anime applicants . . .

TOM: First of all, big ups for you for handling the auditions. Recently removed the broadcast transmission, just added a few new shows, jettisoned those stupid flags they told me to plant and that fricken logo they forced me to weld. And I finally got those network logos off the soles of my shoes. That was selling out to the beast, I know, but the bosses forced me to do it.

Moltar: I've been there. DBZ's new season starts in a couple of weeks. 54 new episodes is just what the public needs.

TOM: Yeah, about that.

Moltar: Problem from the big bosses?

TOM: Isn't there always a problem. Anyway, got the promos, and now they're saying 39, not 54.

Moltar: You're kidding?

TOM: I'm serious. Guess those funny guys want to sell more tapes or something.

Moltar: They want to start the show over again too, or so I've heard.

TOM: Heh, I can see it now. "See the saga begin anew. Dragonball Z: The Special Edition."

Moltar: Didn't George Lucas do that with those Star Wars movies?

TOM: Pretty much. Hope the reedited eps don't suck that much.

Moltar: You mean the reedited edited eps. Kids Love It!

TOM: Now, how's the auditions going?

Moltar: Well, I've seen a lot of applicants, some good, some bad. A lot of good choices. Great characters, albeit a bit destructive. That Lina girl blew out a huge chunk of the waiting room.

TOM: Sorry about that. I knew that she was dangerous, but I didn't know she was that dangerous. But that's nothing. You should see this one guy. They call him a "Human Typhoon."

Moltar: A what?

TOM: Thought he'd be there by now.

Scene: Just outside the GPI building. A red-coat-wearing guy with blonde hair and sunglasses looks at a card and then looks at the somewhat damaged building.

Vash The Stampede: This must be the place. Looks like fun.

[Allen's Nickname.]

Moltar: Allright, next!

*Vash sits down.*

Moltar: Now, I'd like to know what you think you can bring to the the Toonami team?

Vash: Well you see, my wacky misadventures.....

*Before Vash can say another word a massive storm of bullets flist through the room.**Vash runs throughout the room, screaming like a girl. Moltar continues sitting, taking notes.**Next thing you know, the roof of Ghost Planet comes off and lands on the gunmen, injuring them but not killing them.*

Moltar: A little violent. You might want to go to the pool down the street.

[The Dork Knight]

Tokyo Pig: Hel...
Moltar: I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT!

- Foley Is Good

[Beat]

Moltar- Damn. Where did we get these losers from?

SG- Don't look at me. I'm not even in the office most of the time.

TOM- That's what happens when we listen to message boards.

Moltar- Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Who's next?

Sara- A Mr. Kamui. He says Zorak referred him.

Moltar- Send him in.

[Tootlez]

(flash back to school)

*class starts laughing*

"WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?!?!?!?!?"

*runs out cover self*


(flash back to reallity)

Toot: And to this day..... I vowed that I will always where clothes!

Friends: yeah right!

[Beat]

Announcer- Now back to our fic!

[RaptorRaver]

*meanwhile, in the waiting room*

Takuya: *from Digimon Season 4* ... and so then she slaps me! I tell ya, landing on her was an accident!

Tai: *same series, season 1* Suuuure... -_-;

Takato: *season 3* Uhm, guys... how long have we been waiting?

Davis: *season 2* Three whole hours... now be quiet and just keep your head down... you don't want to draw attention to yourself in a place like this...

Takato: Whatever... *sighs* I sure hope we can get off of UPN... hey, where'd Calumon go...?

*elsewhere*

Calumon: *smiles cutely* Hello!

Zorak: ... So cute... urge to kill rising...

Calumon: *latches on to his leg* ^^

Zorak: O_O *screams and runs down the hall* GET IT AWAY! AHHHHHHH!

[Beat]

Space Ghost {Fries the kid and Zorak at the same time}

Zorak- {Crispy, Blinks}

TOM- This is going nowhere. Sara, how many applicants are left?

Space Ghost- At this rate, we'll have to put our old show back on.

Zorak- That ain't happening.

{Kamui sits down}

TOM- So tell us, your experience?

Kamui- I was in a show done by the famous director Rintaro, "X".

TOM- Your supporting cast?

Kamui- They're all dead.

TOM- Dead?

Kamui- Offed. Killed. Destroyed. Dead.

Sara- NEXT!!!

[Beat]

This'll be my first major post, so be prepared!

Dateline, Ghost Planet Studios. TOM and Sara have enlisted the help of the Space Ghost Coast to Coast crew, namely, Space Ghost, Zorak, and Moltar, to help them find new talent. So far, it's been one dud after another

TOM- Y'know, it seems like our talent pool has thinned latley, with the Adult Swim going to weeknights.

Space Ghost- Not now! I'm going to enjoy this...

Zorak- For the last time, we're not putting "Those who hunt Elves" on Toonami!!

Space Ghost- (Shoots Zorak)

Zorak- (Crispy)

Sara- I have an applicant I reccomended. I just hope you guys like him.

Moltar- It can't be worse than the homicidal Batman wannabe, or the Digi-kids.

{A man dressed like a samurai enters the room}

TOM- Name.

Man- Himarua Kenshin.

Moltar- The great star of Ruroni Kenshin?! It's an honor.

Kenshin- Thank you. I've been looking to put my work on your channel for some time now. As a step toward putting some of ADV's more prolific shows on.

Space Ghost- Who's this clown?

Kenshin- (Moves an inch to the naked eye)

Space Ghost- (Falls apart) I'll be right back...

TOM- Moltar, go check on the applicants. Bring in #39 and #40.

Moltar- Sure.

Can Kenshin pass the audition? And what of the other applicants?

[Beat]

Dateline- Kenshin has just finished his interview, and Space Ghost has put himself back together. Unfortunately, he decided to look outside...

Space Ghost- Hey, Frylock, what are you doing here?

Frylock- We've been called up. Apparently, fights are breaking out to see who goes next. And Carl got his ass beaten by the Dirty Pair.

Space Ghost- Heheheheheheh...... I'll look around. Just make sure Carl doesn't hit on any other anime women.

Frylock- Okay.

{Outside}

Kid- There's no way the star of Big O is going to keep me from getting an interview!!

Roger Smith- You pushed 10 people!!

Kid- That's it!! Red Baron!!! Let's go!!
{A giant red robot appears, and the kid hops in}

Roger Smith- BIG O!!!!! (Big O appears, and Roger Smith gets in)



Space Ghost- So it's been like this all day?

Dr. Quinn- Ever since Stormy got put in the hospital by Cutey Honey, it's been one brawl after another.

Space Ghost- Well, we're almost done. Just try to keep the peace a little longer.

Quinn- We'll try.

Can the Cartoon Network staff keep the peace, or has Space Ghost asked for the impossible?

[TOM 002]

(The fight starts breaking out and smashing stuff. Finally, a mech already working for Toonami steps in: the Patlabor)

Noa Izumi: ALRIGHT YOU TWO! BREAK IT UP!

Rodger: It's not my fault. He started it. (Big O points to Red Baron)

Izumi: I don't care who started it. If you keep continuing this crap I'll have you arrested.

Kid: You can't do that! You don't even work here!

Izumi: (glares at Red Baron) Look you. I've worked in Toonami Reactor. Granted, it's not much, but it gives me enough athority to book you. Now come with me! (the Patlabor arrests Red Baron and walks off)

Space Ghost: *whew* Glad that's over. This group is really rambuntious, aren't they?

Moltar: (looks up) Well then, worry no more. Look who just arrived.

(The Adult Swim cast looks up to see the Absolution hovering down. The doors open and TOM walks out)

TOM: Hey guys. Looks like I missed the party (eyes the excessive damage). Sorry I took so long coming here.

Moltar: You got the lists of resumes that I sent you, right?

TOM: (holds up papers) Yep. Looks like we have some winners here. Let's discuss this in the conference room...or what's left of it. (walks with Moltar, Space Ghost, and Brak to a badly damaged room) Lemme guess...bounty hunters against Vash? A beserker Eva?

Brak: No...the microwave blew up after I put some pork and beans in it...

And so, the cast of Toonami and Adult Swim finally confirm on who makes it and who gets to go where. Who made the cut? And how will both casts react to the newbies? Stay tuned.

[Beat]

TOM- Okay, before we start, we have agreed that fanservice shows stay on Adult Swim.

Space Ghost- AGREED!!!

TOM- So, to get started, who...

Brak- Likes beans???

TOM- No. Who has someone that they definetley don't want to reccomend?

Moltar- Tokyo Pig. God, he's annoying.

Sara- I didn't like the way those Dirty Pair girls looked at you, TOM.

TOM- Hey, relax. They're going to the Adult Swim final interviews.

Zorak- The Digimon kids tried to kill me!!

Space Ghost- Which is why I gave them a reccomendation.

Zorak-

Space Ghost- (Shoots Zorak)

Zorak- (Crispy)

Brak- Can we have hentai?! Please?

TOM- We'll think about it.

Moltar- What about Honey? She put Stormy in the hospital.

Space Ghost- If anything, that's a reason to reccomend her.

TOM- That's true. I never liked Stormy. He always cuts in line during lunch.

Brak- And he doesn't like beans! Give Honey the reccomendation!

TOM- Done. Anyone else you'd like to bring up?

[The Dork Knight]

Tokyo Pig: H.......
Moltar: DAMN IT! I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT!
Space Ghost: I'll handle this!
*SG zaps TP*
Tokyo Pig: I'LL CALL MY LAWYERS!
