[ The video opens on Booster Gold, shirtless, in blindingly gold spandex shorts, standing in front of the ocean. It's sunset, but the lighting's all wrong. Almost like it's... a fake backdrop in someone's garage.

Oh. ]


Hello, fellow ImPorts! Booster Gold here. Like what you see? Of course you do. Want to see more? Of course you do!

[ Photos flash on screen: Booster in an open-chested Santa Claus costume. Booster surrounded by teddy bears with a rose in his teeth. Booster dressed as what appears to be a sexy Thanksgiving turkey. Luckily that's the last one. ]

Enticed? Entranced? Other E-words? Shh. Don't speak. I know.

For the low, low price of only $19.99, you can be the proud owner of the Officially Licensed Booster Gold Mancalendar. Twelve months of yours truly — and what's more, all proceeds go directly to charity!

The Booster Gold Mancalendar — just in time for the holidays! They make the perfect gift for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and your paperboy. And even better, each and every copy is autographed.

All naysayers will be put down for five copies each.

[ WINK. ]


[Mercifully, there's a loud throat-clearing from behind the camera, which is hastily set down on a table or something.] Booster. Get to the cars already.

[After a moment, Ted comes into view.] What my friend here means to say is that this calendar here is sponsored by Kord Enterprises. Or, uh, what's going to be Kord Enterprises. Eventually. [He picks up the camera again and turns it around, to reveal what looks to be a stunningly gorgeous, new and improved Kord version of the flying cars that are so prevalent around Heropa.]

We probably should have included more of these shots in the calendar, but hey, here's a free first look for you all. So if you're interested, if you want a Mancalendar or just to take a look, come on by. The address is on the calendars.
[And in case you don't want a calendar, he gives the address here.]

[It's official, Booster Gold is an idiot.]

The spotlight isn't the problem. [You are, Boost] Although that might work to your advantage, if you're sticking with that name.

Oh, do tell.

[It was probably cheap and smelled like gym socks]

The charity will help, but unless you go with something more branded, outside of people gifting for a joke, you're gonna be the calendar people buy and hide under their beds.

[Give Oliver a board room and a rehearsed speech and he'll fail miserably, but present him with the ins and outs of questionably inappropriate calendars sales and he'll give advice like a champ.

After all, he's been with his fair share of Januarys and Julys.]

[ IT WAS CLASSY, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH. ]

Trust me, pal. I know plenty about branding. You know I have my own breakfast cereal back home?

You had what? [COMPLETELY DERAILED]

Booster Bits cereal and Sugar Packed Booster-Os! Also Booster Blast coffee, Boosterpaste brand toothpaste, Booster Bubble bubble gum...

Okay- okay. I get it. [....] You were on toothpaste?

[He can't leave that one alone.]

[Unfortunately, yes.]

So you're a mascot.

[Everything makes so much sense, now.]
you_tried: (3PM strippers are depressing.)

[personal profile] you_tried 2014-12-01 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, among other things, yeah.

[personal profile] restitute 2014-12-01 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Mascot and made-at-home calendar model.

[That's what he meant, right?]
you_tried: (I'll always be here for immoral support.)

[personal profile] you_tried 2014-12-01 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure. And occasionally I help save the world. No big deal.
restitute: (➸ 043)

[personal profile] restitute 2014-12-01 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
You. Save the world? [Tell us how you really feel, Oliver] I suppose being even partially photogenic can be... helpful.

[This is what happens when Oliver doesn't have his babysitters around monitoring his conversations.]
you_tried: (I saw your arrest video on YouTube.)

[personal profile] you_tried 2014-12-03 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me? I am extremely photogenic. And what's up with that saving the world crack, huh? How many times have you helped stop planetwide peril?
restitute: (➸ 005)

[personal profile] restitute 2014-12-04 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Once, probably. If... y'know. Planetwide peril was synonymous with took down the man who took down a neighborhood in a city.

... But he can't even say that, now can he?]


Helped stop it? Never. But my company is in the process of developing and testing technology that should be able to prevent a number of worldwide catastrophes sometime in the next few years.

[Can you tell he rehearsed that? Because he did. A lot. And still usually butchered it.

Man, he almost wishes Isabel was here, if just to show off that he is slightly competent when it comes to business.]
you_tried: (I just fucked an exclamation point.)

[personal profile] you_tried 2014-12-05 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I thought. So that makes the current world-saving count me, a bunch, you, zero.
