Eucalyptus's first Crazy Aykroyd freak-out moment? It's so hard to say since there were so many of them, But I have an album of several of her more infamous ones. Eukie can definitely tell you about the first time it happened.

Eucalyptus:
Gladly. Basically at the time I was working as a drama school instructor and I really wanted my group to do the Blues Brothers as a play and even went so far as to print out the entire screenplay and already had picked out who I had in mind for each characters, however there were two problems...one being that the stuck up snobs there didn't approve of the idea and went with a crappy play about Egyptians that was basically just a jukebox musical. Half of the songs weren't even fitting. Yes, one of the characters was named James but if that was the only reason why the 'My Name Is James' song from James and the Giant Peach was part of the soundtrack, then that was terrible. Also please remind me why was a Crazy Frog song on the soundtrack as the main opening song? I get it, at the time this play was made Crazy Frog was popular but...1001 Nights is NOT a song to open your Egyptian themed play with. I get it, it sounds Arabian/Egyptian and has a mystical vibe but it doesn't fit the musical. Also the other problem...good lord, the original draft of the script would have made for a much better musical...for one thing the original draft had conflict, as in an antagonist and a reason for the fight scene in the middle, unlike the final version. Also really? Seize the Day from Newsies? Look I don't dislike Newsies, I think it's amazing...but why use a song from Newsies in a musical with an Egyptian thing? Yes, the one about the frog and the sea-monster that was essentially an environmental story had songs like that too specifically Everybody Get Up by 5ive for the male characters and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for the female characters, but those sort of made sense. That Egyptian musical deserved to flop if you ask me.

The other problem...the Blues Brothers had ALREADY been adapted to a musical. Albeit one over in the West End, but still a musical nonetheless. So that put a damper on things, then I was asked to take part in the play...the part I wanted to do and wrote out for myself was scrapped and I got fucking stuck playing a character who didn't have any lines, all my character did was show up during the big battle, I was one of the opposing warriors...nothing more than a minion to the main antagonist and that was it...I didn't get to say anything, I just fucking died and that was it. Sure, everyone else got a line and a song...but not me, nope...I got to fucking die...yipee. I basically attended rehearsals but refused to show up on the night of the production, I refused to show up and do my part on the stage and stayed home. Theeeeen...the day after we all had a group assembly, and there was this whole big middle section in which they talked about the play and were praising it like it was the next hit Andrew Lloyd Webber production, that's when I stood up and pretty much heckled the tutors. That crappy play didn't deserve praise, it was terrible and yet people who were dumb enough to go and see the play including parents and relatives who just came to see their offspring perform enjoyed it?

Basically after heckling the tutor I got in trouble with the head tutor of my group...and that's when I snapped, especially after I had been nothing but a good, perfect koala-girl and a model actress throughout my years at this particular drama school, not breaking anything, not fighting with other students, and just being helpful, but it was my heckling that got me in trouble? Uhhh...I was giving out critique for pete's sake, I thought that play was awful and was speaking my mind. So that nosy rat of a head tutor pretty much ratted out to my mother/manager in a 'production' journal that I had struck out at them. And then...I snapped. Dark thoughts slowly entered my mind as my opinion on this head tutor changed from sort of appreciating them to wanting to see her suffer along with the rest of those snobs. I thought I could trust her but noooooo...she was a two-timing stuck up bitch who wouldn't know a masterpiece even if it asked her out on a date. Those dark thoughts influenced me further, I attempted to ignore them but it got much worse...since me and Mel share the same powers, the dark thoughts influenced my auras and powers...making me want to unleash them on those people and eventually they took over....basically I went into Crazy Aykroyd mode for the first time, now in case you don't know why it's called that...it's because whenever that happens I tend to act like Aykroyd whenever he plays a character who isn't all there in the head.

When I entered that mode...it was nothing like I had ever experienced before, I unleashed my dark powers on those snobs...unleashing hordes of the undead and placing curses upon all of them, cackling like a mad-woman. I couldn't help it really, the first time it happened..was unexpected.
