keefe @greatgulonking
found this gem of a vlog from when we first started filming enjoy HAHAHA

The video opens on a shot of Keefe walking around what appears to be the set, phone in his hand and capturing a rather unfortunate angle of his face. He’s grinning as he speeds up, having apparently spotted something interesting?

“Forklenator!” He whisper-yells, motioning at Mr Forkle in a come-here gesture. “I’m interviewing!”

Mr Forkle’s answering sigh sounds anything but excited. “Can’t right now,” he whispers back. “Need to finish this scene.”

Keefe looks down at the camera, his grin completely unfazed as he tells the camera, “He always does this, I’ll get him on here one day if it's the last thing I do.”

He then (for some reason unbeknownst to anyone) begins skipping down the hallway at incomprehensible speeds whilst holding the camera up to show the doors. He skips past doors labelled “Tam Song,” and “Linh Song.” “They’re not here today cause we’re filming some of the first scenes this week,” he explains, “Might show up at some point later to hang out though, they did yesterday. And they brought coffee!”

The idea that Keefe Sencen should probably never have caffeine is not lost on anyone.

He pauses in front of a door labelled “Fitz Vacker” to knock, shaking the camera in the process. “Fitz?” he calls out. No reply. “Fuck, okay, let’s try find someone. An adventure!”

He continues skipping past doors, singing “We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re gonna catch a big one! I’m not scared!” under his breath as he makes his way through a maze of corridors and sets. He gets three verses in. The viewers are maybe going crazy. He gasps as he passes an open door labelled “Hair and Makeup.” “Sophie! I’m vlogging!”

Keefe holds up the phone to show Sophie, who grins and waves happily, makeup half done, rollers still in her hair. The makeup artist sighs fondly, and says, “Heard you were running around with that thing again.”
Keefe gasps in fake horror. “Who told you that??”

Sophie snorts. “Mr Forkle came round earlier to get his makeup touched up, and said you were terrorising him again, and we all know what that means. Plus, we can all hear you skipping around singing like an idiot.”

“Oh.”

Sophie, who apparently takes this as her cue to launch into a rendition of We’re going on a bear hunt, gets up out of the chair and starts skipping around the room in a (surprisingly accurate) imitation of Keefe. He is not impressed.

The makeup artist (thankfully) smiles at her and gently drags her back into the chair after one verse. “Sit back down, I still need to do your blush. Oh, and Keefe, you might want to stay here too, someone will come by to do your hair and makeup soon.”

Sophie looks directly at the camera and stage-whispers, “You guys get front row seats to see how The Hair is made. The secret is-”

“No!” Keefe cuts her off. “I’m gatekeeping. Until I get a brand deal and can get super crazy rich off The Hair.”

Sophie giggles at this, then says, “Okay, okay, no hair spoilers for now. But we should entertain the viewers while you wait to get ready. You excited for the next scene?” She lowers her voice a little to look directly at Keefe. “Wait, we can talk about that on here, right?”

Keefe props the phone up on the vanity to put them both in frame. “Yep, they said it’s fine, just don’t give any spoilers. Anyway, for the people watching, we’re about to film one of the scenes for the first episode. And it’s in human clothes so we don’t have to deal with the stuffy capes and tunics for once.”

“Oh, come on, I like the costumes!”

“Mhmm. Don’t pretend you’re not gonna enjoy wearing less than about, what is it, a million layers?”

“Okay fine, the layers are overkill, but the costumes themselves are fun, when else does a girl regularly get to wear a floor length gown?”
Biana turns the corner and walks into the room, arms full with takeout bags. “Food delivery! And what’s this about floor length gowns?”

Sophie mouths “we summoned her” to the camera, then grins at Biana. “Nothing, Keefe’s just talking about how glad he is to not be wearing full costumes today.”

“Yeah, thank god. You should be glad we don’t have to deal with the corsets today.” She pulls a (seemingly very precariously balanced) cup of coffee out of the bag along with some doughnuts and hands a cup to Sophie. “I just got a mocha, is that okay?”

Sophie nods in appreciation and grabs the cup. “Please don-”

“Anything for me?” Keefe interrupts.

“-t tell me you got Keefe anything?”

She smiles and nods. “Oat milk latte.”

Sophie’s “Biana please please please don’t give that to him you’re not the one who has to film individual scenes with him later I’ll make you regret this oh my god. “ is only faintly heard over Keefe’s very enthusiastic “Yes!” as Biana (regrettably) hands him the cup with a shit-eating grin.

They are interrupted by the second hair and makeup artist walking in, which cues Sophie to turn the camera off after whispering, “We’ll see you again when The Hair is done and the caffeine has fully gone into his system.” The screen goes black.

The photo shows Sophie sitting in a fast food restaurant holding up a peace sign. Behind her is Dex, Biana, and Keefe, all somehow squashed onto one seat and crowded around Keefe’s phone.

The second video opens on Biana’s face as she crouches down behind something. The camera shakes with laughter as she holds a finger up to point at something behind it and mouths, “ They’re filming right now.” She turns the camera around to show Keefe, Fitz, and Sophie on a green screen set. The filming is apparently not going well - the director looks so incredibly done with them (mostly just caffeine-induced Keefe) consistently bursting into laughter mid-take.

“Okay, can this please be the last take now? Then we’ll stop for lunch.”

Fitz, who is seemingly a little more coherent than the other two, nods enthusiastically.

Keefe is still halfway onto the floor convulsing with laughter.

He straightens up a little.

“Ready now? Scene 21, Take 17, Action!”

Sophie snaps into character. Turns around to begin her line. Opens her mouth. Makes direct eye contact with the camera.

Bursts into laughter.
The camera shakes violently as Biana apparently follows suit.

“Sophie!” The director is exasperated.

Keefe grins, doing a jumpy kind of dance. “At least it wasn’t me this time!”

Sophie, who is a lost cause by this point, throws an accusing finger at Biana. “Not my fault! Why is Biana on the fucking set??”

Biana’s whispered “shit, shit, shit” is barely heard over the sound of:
her footsteps as she scrambles to get away before she’s caught
the directors very deep sigh as he says, “Biana is… what now?”
Keefe’s laughter (which for some reason get 100x louder post-caffeine)

“Fuck, okay, gotta run, bye guys!!!!”

The video cuts out.

Notes:

thank you so much for reading!!!! this keefe is my fav character to write by farrrr he will literally just do whatever the fuck he wants (sorry if there's too much keefe LMAO i love him)

also i am VERY aware ive ended two chapters with some version of "SOKEEFE CANON" i actually still don't know if im gonna include ships in this (if i do i will probably end up just doing canon ones like sokeefe and sofitz)

edit: i have a tumblr now!!!! teenagegirl-forever, i’ll probably be posting updates and (maybe) sneak peaks on there! (and also yapping about fedex ❤️)
