Chapter 8: Scene 14B
"Mr. Auclair," Director Lee said, "you have read the script for the first episode, I presume?"
"You presume correct."
"Then, please act out Scene 14B."
"Very well."
Averie closed his eyes for a brief moment.
Scene 14 was part of a sequence of scenes introducing Asmodeus in the first episode. This particular shot was meant to show Asmodeus’s lascivious nature in little detail.
Averie opened his eyes.
He could see the auditioners, but his mind refused to acknowledge them. Only cameras in the room mattered. Everything else was either a prop or an actor.
"After climbing a flight of stairs, Asmodeus Binsfeld enters his study," the AD read, a worn script in his hand.
Averie, now Asmodeus, imitated opening the door and entered the room.
His hair was wet, his posture straight, and his steps measured. His decadent gaze didn’t once wander before it firmly stuck to the antique record player by the glass window. He didn’t care for anything else in the room—not even the guest, who was staring at him with complex emotions.
