Council form · 26-C · Injury, filed in advance

The cast: Form 26-C

The cast appears on Day 1. The shark tank is promised in the Introduction, which was recorded after Day 1. The Council has a form for this.

Day 5, close: the host with a bright blue cast on one forearm, holding a can — Exhibit A: one cast, blue. Holding a can.

Form: 26-C. Report of an injury (filed in advance).
Attendee: Disguise name withheld. See the attendance form.
Injury: One arm, in a blue cast. The Outroduction says “a couple of broken arms”. The Council has counted one cast.
Place: The opening ceremony: the shark tank. Guests only.
Witnesses: The sharks, who were going round and round. Hammerhead, who was told the tank is for guests.
Hammerhead’s statement: Nowhere near it. He has asked what that makes him.
Outcome: “Easy breezy.” Amended at the Outroduction: “Couple of broken arms aren’t gonna stand in the way of a good time.”

Where the cast is on the record

The Council’s clerk went through the film and noted the cast wherever it appears:

The Introduction: no cast. The shark tank is still to come. “What can you do?”
Day 1: cast on.
Day 2: the narrator beside the stage, no cast.
Day 3: the narrator beside the stage, cast on, and a rainbow mohawk.
Day 4: cast on. Held up a K, then an A, then Hammerhead.
Day 5: cast on, holding a can.
The Outroduction: cast on, with a card in each hand.

The narrator of the Mystic Theatre with a rainbow mohawk and a blue cast, beside the stage — Day 3: the narrator, cast on. Day 2: cast off. The Council has noted both.

The Council’s finding

The Council does not accept that a cast can appear before the injury it is for. The Council also does not accept an eighteenth take of Day 4. In a loop, the paperwork goes first and the injury catches up. The form stays open until it does.

Treatment: the regular way.
