Bill had been sitting on this idea for a month. He just needed to get Kevin on the bus while their tour was linking up with Gabe's.
For this, he needed Ryland.
It had taken most of the month to convince Michael, but luckily Ryland, or rather Guy Ripley, was up for the task straight away.
He took up the camera and signaled the pair of them. Ryland had found an actual safari helmet, and Michael was wearing the cammo that VickyT had found at an op-shop. He was even wielding the child's butterfly net she had found.
It was hot pink. It popped beautifully on camera.
"And...action!"
Guy Ripley smiled at the camera. "Here we are," he said in his accent. "Tracking the elusive Jonasis Kevinus back to his nest."
Michael Guy nodded. "Right," he said, his accent even more broad than usual. "This little fellow is a shy critter, but when cornered he has a nasty little defense mechanism."
The lounge door open and Kevin backed in, wings dipping gracefully to fit through the door. He didn't notice the camera, too busy fending off Mike's hands as he tried to tickle.
"There he is! Get 'im," Michael yelled. Ryland snatched up the other butterfly net and swung it.
The wings flexed and the glitter rained like static through the shot.
Michael Guy coughed, and Bill zoomed in, trying to catch the little fountains of glitter as he cleared his lungs. Bill could have kissed him as he stayed in character. "And he's off. Like a squid and his ink, the entire Jonas family use glitterbombs as a defensive strategy." He coughed again.
Ryland took over smoothly. "Beyond defense, the glitter also serves a role in the mating display, which we will attempt to capture on camera for the first time in history, next time on TAITV."
"And cut," Bill said smugly, then went to hit Michael on the back until he'd coughed up the rest of the glitter.
