Oct. 23rd, 2008 12:27 amHm, and while i have the LJ page still open, might as well type in something else.
It's stupid, but it has been in my head since FurFright, more precisely since a dinner at Olive Garden Kelth and Serephis (coworker, muahaha.)
I want to make a movie now.
The idea is stupid, but i just feel like it could so turn out into something if done right.
Raviolis ruining someone's life.
Something about how they looked at Olive Garden, and how Serephis couldn't finish his plate made me think about this.
Someone goes to a place like that, orders a big plate of Raviolis, doesn't finish half of it, waiter offers a to go box, the guy says no thanks, maybe a small amount of talking with the wife or relative or whatever about "why waste that, might as well bring it home..." and such.
Then have the same raviolis start showing up more and more, in a totally irrational but almost strategically placed kind of way.
Maybe just one stuck to the wall in the hallway, as if it was some kind of bump. The guy thinks it's a bad joke by a family member.
Then one falls from the ceiling on his face while sleeping, wakes him up, makes him a bit annoyed, but goes back to sleep.
Another one shows up in his pant's pocket in the morning, annoys him a bit more.
They show up in his lunch, as if leftovers from yesterday, some annoyance about that, "i told him/her/etc to leave them, i'm not going to eat cold raviolis".
Some show up on his chair, or on his desk, just as if placed there on purpose.
More annoyiance, "I'll have a good talk about this with (whoever might be suspicious of doing the "Prank")."
And just have the raviolis show up more and more, in increasingly problematic places...
In shoes, in documents at work, in the copier, making a mess inside a cdrom drive, stuck in the car engine, messing up important work stuff, etc...
Which would lead the main character to get more and more annoyed, and try to eliminate who might be doing this. Leading to blocking off people and isolating himself progressively.
Then eventually get fired from work due to ravioli-related incidents, and now more paranoid behavior toward coworkers.
Wife and such getting sick of the madness the main person is going into and going away.
Then end up with the guy just trying to run away from everything, seeing more and more raviolis, some possibly not even real, due to insanity...
...
It would have to be more complex than just that, but it seems like an interesting idea. Especially if taken seriously enough. Not just some stupid attack/invasion of the raviolis, just as a "what if a totally random and pointless thing like that started poisoning your life" kind of thing. No special powers, no supernatural occurences, just slowly being driven mad by an invisible prankster...
... i need sleep.
