Attention-Deficit Roleplaying

Since dancing implies music, the very mention of dancing attracted the attention of several famous movie-score composers, all of whom began approaching Tom and Goldberry Bombadil about a contract to write music for the prospective new movie.
 
Except for four.It was left between the ghosts of Leonard Bernstein ( The Ten Commandments, The Magnificent Seven) and Jerry Goldsmith ( Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Rudy) and living composers Howard Shore ( Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) and John Williams ( Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, and Schindler's List). Each one was armed with a weapon from their signature theme. Bernstein had the staff of Moses, Goldsmith had a phaser, Shore had Glamdring, and Williams had a lightsaber.

That was when Tom said, "You guys are all four of the best composers. Between The Magnificent Seven, Star Trek, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that is four of the most iconic movie themes ever composed. Why not put your genius together and collaborate."

The composers shrugged and said ,"Sure!"

And got right to work.
 
"For some reason I have the same partial feelings towards Jerry Goldsmith's theme for Rudy," said Samwise Gamgee. "Such a pretty, inspiring them."
 
"My Apologies" said Sven-El. " This is what happens when you research these things and try to RPG and do three different things at the same time. No disrespect intended."
 
"Hey," Robin Hood began, "did you hear what Tim Hawkins said the other night?"
"THAT'S _JIM_ HAWKINS!" Shouted a disgruntled Jim Hawkins of "Treasure Island".
"Not you!" Robin replied, "Tim Hawkins is a comedian."
"Oh."
 
"Tim Horton was a Hockey player. He played for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1949 to 1970, eh? Then he started a coffee shop," said the Mountie. "Would you like a cup of coffee Sgt. Preston?"

On hearing the name Horton a bunch of tech geeks complained about problems with Norton anti-virus which led to a knock down drag out fight between comic book fans as to whether Edward Norton, Bill Bixby, Eric Bana or Mark Ruffalo played he definitive Dr. Bruce Banner in Hulk.
 
"I think we have grounds for a citizen's arrest," said the other Mountie. "But I hear what calms them down better is this...'hey, guys, Scarlett Johannsen and Liv Tyler are heading this way!"

All at once they piped down.
 
Remarkably, Scarlett Johansson and Liv Tyler actually _were_ coming, and with them came Carrie Underwood, Lucy Liu, Naomi Watts, and numerous other beautiful and talented ladies. This being a fantasy, they all began fawning on the very geekiest men present.

Copperfox was judged by some to be geeky enough for this; but being a married man, he avoided the sexy celebrities.
 
SOMETIME IN THE PAST, SOMEWHERE ELSE

Sonny Ayala was finally allowed to remove huge Polynesian Tribal Tiki Mask and all the blindfolds that were underneath it. Putting everything on the the table that was next to him, Sonny took a look at the mask and wondered why he had to even wear the stuff. Then turning his head towards the half lit corner of the room, Sonny noticed a small figure standing there and looking out the window so that its back was turned to him. The figure had bat-like wings and ears and Sonny wondered what in the heavens was going on here. The the figure spoke.

"Sonny Ayala, I presume."

"Si. Who want's to know?"

"I heard you're a pilot," said the figure, still looking out the corner window and not bothering to answer Sonny's question.

"Yes, I am."

"Are you a good pilot?" Asked the still mysterious figure.

"I'm a really good pilot," said Sonny, matter-of-factly.

"Of course you are, Sonny. Look at the papers on the table."

Sonny looked, and for the first time noticed a fat dossier that said "Sonny Ayala, Pilot" written in bold red letters diagonally across. Sonny approached it, opened it, and browsed the loose pages inside it. After a minute or two, Sonny stopped and said, "it's almost everything about it me. Why"

"Not almost. Everything."

"Why?"

"I have a job for you, if you are interested."

"I see. Well, let's just say it right here and now. If it's anything illegal or immoral, I having nothing to do with it."

"That's what I expected to hear from the Sonny Ayala in that dossier."

Suddenly a joke occurred to Sonny's mind, and since this posting did not violate B-King's wishes for the character, he shared the joke:

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Ayala.

Ayala who?

Ayala only do the job if it fits with my conscience.
 
The superhero Grey Eagle was using his long-range gravity-based scanning ability to follow the progress of the hunt for Pandora's Box, while waiting to see if the mysterious figure speaking to Sonny Ayala was fellow superhero Bat-Bat.
