Casting Call

This adventure seed is primarily for demons, though the repercussions could well involve angels.

Premise

Nybbas has a space on his prime-time network for a new regular feature slot! Naturally, a number of his subordinates want to push their brilliant ideas to fill this slot, and are backstabbing each other with glee. Various Princes would like a film or series advantageous to themselves or disadvantageous to an enemy to go in this slot. The PCs may be servants of Nybbas, inhabitants of Shal-Mari, or poor fools who have been blackmailed, tempted, dragooned or ordered into interfering, either to help one project or to damage another.

Various Feature Projects

• 1) A new buddy-buddy female cop series, featuring a Lilim and a Shedite, Servitors of the Game, exploring prejudice together, serving the cause of Hell, and painfully dragging Renegades back to suffer agonising torture. People are needed for backing cast, stereotypical roles, special effects, and agonising torture. Asmodeus would be mildly gratified to see this one get the slot.
• 2) Interviews with the Princes! The bootlicker pushing this project likes the idea of regular interviews with famous Princes and Word-Bound on the current issues of Hell. New interviewers are needed - for some reason, nobody seems to stay on the job very long, one way or another... Malphas finds this idea very amusing.
• 3) Theft! This show will involve thefts of important objects from such locations as angelic Tethers, Fort Knox, and (whisper it not) perhaps even the havens of Princes. Crew members are needed for backing roles (that is, all the legwork beforehand, helping the stars get in and out, and being beaten on by the guards/angels/Servitors who come running). Valefor likes this idea.
• 4) The Malakim Documentary. Pictures of them in their native habitat. Film of them in action. Volunteers needed to get the film and be the action. Mind you, anybody helping on _this_ one has the possibility of collecting favours from most of the Shal-Mari pornography industry - or just getting their film footage confiscated by personal order of Archives.
• 5) A Day In The Life. This show will ambitiously chronicle the life of a new-come soul in some section of Hell (there is much debate about which section). Cameramen will follow him round and film the whole thing - without, of course, in any way biasing people nearby or the way he is treated. Really. Or setting up particular stunts and events first. Of course not. Anyone who can slant this towards a particular Principality may earn favours from the Prince in question, depending on how the Principality is portrayed...
• 6) Science for the Masses. A set of features on the wonders of technology that Tartarus brings to all the demons in Hell, and many of those out of it. Volunteers needed as testers, cameramen, and backstage fixing-up-the-messes-so-it-looked-as-if-it-worked. Vapula likes this project. If those involved are lucky, he'll help personally.
• 7) If your superiors really want you to, I'm sure you could _try_ and find Lucifer and get a personal newsbite...

Somewhere, some of these actually got used a bit... Check out the Movie Trailers...
