many worlds like this one

(concept taken from splitting-infinities's post)

There are many worlds like this one.

Robert is small enough that he has to shift onto his knees on his chair to lean over the dining table. There's a cake in front of him, big and round with white icing he helped slather on. There's rainbow sprinkles and Skittles and M&Ms he'd slapped to the side, and it took the better half of the evening to make, mostly because he wouldn't stop getting in the way, so impatient he was.

There are seven candles on top, burning. His parents were singing Happy Birthday, and he was just old enough now to feel embarrassed at the attention. He sat through it though, and then finally Robert leaned forward until his face hovered over the burning candles, birthday hat sitting askew on top of his head, and closed his eyes to make a wish. And then he took a long, deep breath and blew his candles out.

--

Robert was old enough to hate being sung Happy Birthday to -- it was awkward and he never knows where to look. Robert was still young enough to want it anyways. His parents started singing, and stopped when Robert cringed, then started again, then stopped again until the conflict made them start coughing. Then they stopped coughing because Robert didn't want them to.

Robert, sat in his chair, and leaned over the dining table to see his cake with thirteen burning candles on top. It looked just like any other cake he wanted. Robert glanced up at his parents, and they stared back blank-faced. Robert brought his face close to the flames, closed his eyes, inhaled and blew.

There are many worlds like this one.

Robert is in a lavish penthouse suite, all greys and neutrals and off-whites and egg-whites with floor-to-ceiling windows. Someone, probably the owner, was throwing a birthday party and so was Robert, in a way. He had a slice of cake and couldn't find a candle, but there's a group of people that managed to surround him, and they wished him a "happy birthday!" And they started singing Happy Birthday just for him but it was discordant and they quickly grew confused as to who he was, why he was there, why they were.

Robert made a hasty exit and realized that drunk people were...messy. He stepped outside onto the street, and it wasn't busy, no crowds. He started making his way back to his equally lavish, upscale apartment, closing his eyes for a moment before taking a deep breath and blowing it out.

--

Damien sat on a sandy L.A. shore looking out over gentles waves. He had his knees drawn up to his chin. He thought--

Damien was in a car, tearing down the road with L.A. at his back. He thought he could actually spend this day with them, but he couldn't. Turns out he can't. He squeezes his eyes shut against it, briefly because he's going 100 miles per hour. He inhales, he exhales.

There are many worlds like this one.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Damien-" that's not right.

Someone is throwing a party in a bar to celebrate, and it's a big chorus of happy laughter and awkward singing and of course the guy is feeling embarrassed at the attention, he doesn't know where to look. It's so easy to pretend, though, just for today, for right now. Damien sits at the edge of group. He doesn't drink but he has a glass in hand that he clutches for dear life, and his friends -- this guy's friends -- are singing to him.

Then one of the girls, also at the edges, turns to him, face beaming and sings Happy Birthday to him, and it's nice until she trails off like she doesn't know why she started singing to a stranger. Damien knows his cue to leave, and he wants the bartender and the girl to not remember him. He steps outside, the streetlight blinding compared to the dimness of the pub; the flinches his eyes closed against it, and lets out a shaky breath around his constricting chest.

--

Damien is on the open road at three in the morning, and the ground is nothing but fluid blackness under his tires. There's peace here, a peculiar feeling of timelessness, like he's detached from reality and floating away into the vacuum of space. Nothing matters, nothing exists, except his foot on the accelerator and the horizon in front of him.

--

Damien is drunk on a kitchen floor, calling a number on his phone.

There are many worlds like this one.

Damien is sitting at the kitchen table in Somewhere, USA in the good ol' state of Fuck All. The days have been slipping by and he feels timeless in the what's-even-the-fucking-point way. Damien, nevertheless, still knows what day it is, and he wasn't going to do this, he wasn't -- but he passed by a small, round, stupid vanilla cake.

Damien leans over the table until his face hovered above the flame of the single candle burning on top of the cake. Damien can't help but think it's missing essential candy pieces slapped onto it, and it was so ridiculously expensive that he may as well just make one himself next year. Boxed cake mix and sprinkles, it's not hard -- he did it on his own for his fourteenth. It's not hard.

Damien is too old and not nearly pathetic enough to sing Happy Birthday to himself, so he doesn't. He does, though, close his eyes, takes a deep breath, and blows out his candle.

A Letter Left on a Grave

Dearest sister,

I have seen the grave keeper continues to remove my letters when I leave them. I can't help but be saddened whenever I see them gone, but it cannot be helped. Father still hasn't spoken to me since your passing except to tell me I was removed from the will. It was of no surprise to me, and between you and I, I never wanted the old man's money anyway. I half expected not to have been in it regardless. After all, he was never one to put money into failures.

That aside, I have wonderful news! I seem to have finally caught the attention of Miss MacGurk! By chance, I happened to catch her last night coming out of a random apartment. She was graceful as always, but she must have had quite the accident. Her hair was a tad messier than usual and she was covered in what she claimed was punch. There must have been a party going on at the time, but I digress. I offered her my tie to wipe herself off. It wasn't much, but she seemed to appreciate it in her own way. At least she didn't threaten me this time. She even invited me to her home sometime!

I likely shouldn't go on much longer. Suffice to say, I have been in a rather joyful mood as a result. She had a strange glint in her eye when she invited me. I don't know for sure, but it sounds like I have been invited on a date! Of course, you know I have never been the best at judging these things. I hope that wherever you are, I still have your best wishes and forgiveness.

Your loving brother, Damien

= Cast Cards =

Slowly catching up on Cast cards by the fabulous and kind @melvisik! First up today is Antoine Douaihy, one of our executive producers! Now-- I was getting confused on the different level producers so I figured I'd mention the difference here in case you were too! Executive Producers: "The executive producer sits at the top of the production hierarchy as it is their job to source and secure financing for production. Without them, a film or show could never be made as they are the ones who kickstart the project." - Toronto Film School

-- Line Producer --

Another producer is up, Susan Parker! One of our Line Producers for the show! " Line producers are at the heart of a production, hiring the crew, allocating the money and making sure the filming is done safely, creatively, on budget and on time. They are typically the most senior member of the production team, second only to the producers. Working closely with heads of departments, they decide how the money gets spent, delivering the best possible product to the producer or series producer while offering the director and heads of department enough money to realise the vision." - ScreenSkills

-- Makeup Artists --

Last but not least for the night is Devan Weitzman, another of our fabulous make-up artists!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! Gosh it's been a wild ride this fall (and spring for those of you on the opposite site of the world). I truly hope yall are getting some rest and re-cooperation time. There's been so much going on. This Love Note is very short-- because I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Please just remember that It's OK not to be OK, ya? Sit with your feelings sometimes and give them some love, sad feelings are part of you too, and the more we recognize them and give them love too, the more we heal. Take care Crew, this is a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself today <3
