How is an ability dictated by those parameters? Is it a self imposed restriction? Or regulated by a higher power if some kind?

@Melodious

It's kind of funny you ask, but the long and short of it is that if it's not entertaining, my contracts get canceled, I get to do even less, and we all end up with a sad Surprise!.

*Blinks*
I mean, feels like something like that would always be convenient. And you seem to always almost make sense.

@Melodious

You’ve caught on to my scheme! I can’t just poof up anything I want out there—that would be deus ex machina and a terrible writing practice.
*Karate chops into my open palm with each word*
It has to be thematic. It has to be clever. It has to be interesting.

Actually, better question. Can you just drum up media on a whim that didn’t exist before? I know that audio clip wasn’t me and was just you and all, but there’s no way you had that on hand regardless.

@Melodious

Yeah, so—
*Closes the camcorder*
Great question! No. Well, kinda yes. It’s complicated.
*Lifts my hand and pinches my fingers in a smooth motion, like pinning an object to a cork board*
I can only do that if it’s convenient and almost makes sense.

Don’t care about genre if the stuff is quality.

@Melodious

How about noir?
*Pulls out a handheld camcorder with an integrated display that supports a surprisingly high resolution and flips through several clips*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Hmm. You got examples of stuff you’ve shot?

@Melodious

Yeah! What kind of genres do you like?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It’s definitely something, Cinematographer. That’s for sure.

@Melodious

Now I’m just buzzing with all kinds of ideas. Imagine all the cool shots!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Could get it to look more cinematic if I had a good jetpack pilot or someone who can naturally fly well to fly alongside me with the camera. Ooh, that’s good…

@Melodious

That’s a music video right there!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Not with fireworks designed to be mostly harmless. But maybe one day. Might make a good stunt if I ever perform again.

@Melodious

Ooh, you could mount a camera to your head and get a first-person shot! That’d be super!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Something tells me you’re going to try it before I do.

@Melodious

Sounds like you’ve already done it! Sorta.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Sure sounded like you’ve experienced it.

@Melodious

It sounds like the thing to do! At least once.
