You can’t wait for what the tour has to offer! With everyone by your side, you commit to it and enjoy what in other circumstances would be a boring school trip!
And it was very fun! First, you saw the behind the scenes of the news section of the station, and it’s as mildly interesting as these things are. They are more spacious than you thought they would be, and finally, you looked up to see what it’s on the ceiling!: Cables, lights, and the rafters. Very exciting.
To your surprise, you also went to the part where the actual journalists work, a lot of cubicles, and the place is as hectic as it was when you arrived. Tour Guide Girl Leonie assures this place is usually more orderly than this, but big breaking news causes a lot of commotion. Eddie wondered how is that the case if they always present every piece of news as breaking news, and Leonie has to break the illusion that they use it to grab the viewers’ attention. You could see Eddie die a little inside. Vera had no idea what he was expecting.
You were supposed to chat with Jeremy Ness, but he passed without giving your group a second glance. He lost a fan in both Eddie and Mama Bodil.
There was a quick visit to the recording booth. With the door closed, you couldn’t hear anything outside. Great place to carry out a murder, Kangaroo Man says. Joke didn’t land.
Now you’re getting to the interesting bit! The studios where they film the other TV shows! Like the legendary game show: Going Up and Down! Hosted by the Dark Lord of Excitement. Sounds kinky… and evil. It’s elevator-themed, with the losers being brought straight to hell. You meet the host, he was a pretty cool guy, he signed Eddie’s Signature Book and your hoodie.
The next wing in the station is the sets for their dramas! Those cheap, awful dramas that melt your brain if you watch them too much; that’s what Vera said about them, you’ll remember not to watch those. Mama Bodil disagreed though, and said they’re fun whack TV. Kangaroo Man only said that they are better acted than critics gave them credit for, Eddie didn’t care. But you could tell that Leonie was immensely offended by the Rat Girl’s words. She’s a fan, a big fan.
Leonie opened the door to show off one of the most renowned sets for one of their detective dramas, and there was an unconscious body laying in the middle of the room. Quickly, the door shuts close from inside, pushing the Tour Guide Girl outside with the rest of you. The voice of a young man tells you that the set isn’t available for now! Leonie is very perplexed by this, citing that the body doesn’t look like any of the characters in the show, and his clothes are too modern for it. Weird.
But before everyone could understand what was going on, a familiar face shows up behind all of you...
