So let's rewind this a bit....when I did Ascension Trip 2, I did not go with friends because I wanted to see what it would be like doing this more or less without the comfort of my friends. That and I had scheduling issues. So when I did Trip 2 I was coupled up with one other lady. She was about my age and super nice. I had no clue who she was but as I found out MUCH later (like, 5-7 minutes before the show was over)...
The woman was Darren Lynn Bousman's wife, Laura Bousman.
And I can't look at her straight in the face anymore lol poor girl saw too much.
Anyhow, while Laura and I were in the white room with Simon (British guy who basically screams at you like a DI) she is directing my attention to this box in the middle of the room, situated on top of a table. She whispered to me to go for the box. I'm like, "what, Simon is right there". Not to mention an ass ton of interview ladies that would most assuredly rat me out the second I move. So Laura is just going on and on about the box. I insisted that the timing has to be right to get it. After getting sat on by a dude (per request of Simon) and hence ruining any chance of getting into the box I basically resigned to just forget about it. BUT we then got in line and I happen to be in the back, really close to the box.
Nope.
and
HAHA.
I passed my Academy of Magical Arts magician audition with a coin palm routine. Try palming this. REALLY palming this. Spoiler alert: you can't. |
SIMON: WHY DID YOU LOOK IN THE BOX
Me: ((head down, in submission, genuinely feeling like I was fucked)) I was curious.
SIMON: THERE IS NOTHING IN THE FUCKING BOX
Me: (lying through my damn teeth)) no, nothing in the box.
...
Me: sorry.
And that was it...Simon tears into everyone about falling out of line we're all in super trouble. Meanwhile people were giving me the "girl what is wrong with you" look. While I had the chance I unzipped my jumpsuit and took said horribly palmed phone and stuffed it into my bra (HOORAY FOR TIT STORAGE).
oh shit dude. |
So while this little moment that wind up not panning out anything huge discovery for me (probably because I missed my opportunity) or unlocking a secret scene...just getting the phone was SO HARD for me. I don't like disobeying, I don't like being the rebel. I just wanna behave (mostly) and not cause any trouble. So, just being egged on to rebel (tip my hat to Laura who pushed me) MESSED WITH ME SO MUCH. I do wonder whether that was all by design or whether DLB was like "WHOA FUCK SHE'S GOING FOR THE BOX" followed by impromptu instructions to the cast on what to do next. Makes me wonder--can't wait to see what DLB has in store in the future.
