Back at the house Deirdre checked in on Jana and she was still sound asleep. It was almost 8 p.m. now, so there were just two hours to go. Deirdre wanted to check in with Sophie one last time before she had her wake Jana.
Sophie was not in her room, so Deirdre decided to try the kitchen and sure enough Sophie was there, brewing some fresh coffee.
"Oh hi," said Sophie as Deirdre walked in.
"Are we all set to go?" asked Deirdre as she walked toward Sophie. "Is that coffee safe to drink?"
"Yeah, I haven't prepared Jana's juiced java yet," said Sophie.
"That was certainly alliterative, I would expect no less from an English major," said Deirdre smiling.
"Do we have time to sit down and have a cup?" asked Sophie.
"Yes, but just a few minutes," said Deirdre. "You'll need to wake Jana soon. When you wake her, make sure you sound alarmed that the three of us overslept."
"OK?" said Sophie, not sure what Deirdre had in mind, but not questioning the instructions.
"Tell her that I said that she and I needed to do a quick run through over in the tent to go over some last-minute changes," continued Deirdre. "And that we needed to do it tonight, so we wouldn't be getting in the way in the morning because of all the last-minute activity. Got that?"
"Yeah," answered Sophie.
"Did you get the right mix of body paint and glitter worked out?" asked Deirdre.
"Yes, I tried it out on myself this morning when I was playing guinea pig. Oh, and the animal handlers were right, honey does seem to work best," replied Sophie, smiling wickedly. "Really well, as a matter of fact!"
"Good. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," said Deirdre, knowingly returning Sophie's wicked smile. "Then it looks like we are set. Go get her up and get a little yogurt or something in her before you shower her and make her up."
"Probably not yogurt," replied Sophie.
"Huh?" said Deirdre confused.
"Never mind, you would have had to be there," said Sophie smiling to herself as she got up to go fetch Jana.
"Oh, one more thing," asked Deirdre, "did the guys' red contact lenses finally show up? They were supposed to be delivered this afternoon."
"Yeah," replied Sophie. "A courier dropped them off with Tom in the control room. Kieran got them to the guys. He said they looked really creepy, just like you wanted."

"Jana, Jana, wake up," said Sophie as she lightly shook Jana's right bicep. "Come on sweetie, we've overslept. You need to get up."
Jana stirred, still groggy. "What?"
"Come on, get up, we overslept. Deirdre too! She is getting ready, but she wants me to get some food in you, get you showered and made up in the new makeup, so the two of you can do a run through tonight. She needs to go over the script changes with you and we need to do it tonight because there is going to be too much going in the tent tomorrow morning to get it done, without getting in the way. So please sweetie, you need to get up."
"Oh...OK. She wants to do it now?" said Jana still hazy from sleep.
"Yes sweetie, you need to get up now. Deirdre wants to get this done. She still has a lot of other things to get done tonight."
As Jana rose sleepily, Sophie took her by the hand and led her down to the kitchen. Jana had some fruit and coffee.
"Come on sweetie, we need to get back to your room and get you in the shower. You go ahead and I'll bring you another cup of coffee."
"OK," said Jana with a tired sigh as she padded back toward her room.
Sophie prepared Jana's Juiced Java and followed behind her.

It was 8:45 now and Sophie needed to hurry to style and dry Jana's hair and apply her makeup and body paint. Jana had finished her coffee after she got out of the shower and dried herself, Sophie helping and hurrying her.
As Jana entered the bedroom, she was surprised that her dress and wig were not on the bed.
"Where are the..." Jana started to say as Sophie cut in, anticipating the question.
"They scraped the whole Church and Garden of Eden thing. When they watched the video last night, they thought it looked too much like Wizard of Oz meets Mandingo. The visuals just didn't work," said Sophie as she applied Jana's makeup. "They are going a different route. Deirdre will fill you in on the run through," concluded Sophie.
Jana looked down at her body as Sophie began to apply various colors and shades of body paint, layering glitter on top.
"Please stand still sweetie, I want to make you beautiful for the camera," said Sophie.
"Sorry," said Jana as she tried to quit squirming around. When she looked in the mirror, she had to admit it looked wild and sexy, as Sophie finished her ass, legs, and feet.
Sophie stood back to admire her work, just as Deirdre arrived.
"My, don't you look wicked," said Deirdre admiringly as she walked through the door. "You're an artist Sophie."
"Thanks boss," replied Sophie.
"Jana let's get going so we can get this done. I have to meet the rest of the team right after I am done with you," said Deirdre with some urgency.
They walked over to the tent with Deirdre setting a quick pace. Jana was almost out of breath when she got there. Her heart was racing, and she could not believe how amped up she felt. Between that and the cold evening air on her naked body, Jana was shivering. I cannot drink coffee in the evening, she thought to herself.
As Deirdre opened the flap on the tent, Jana knew they were about where the church set had been the previous day. There was pipe and drape obscuring the view of the rest of the set. The tent was completely dark except for a single pin light that was shining on to a primitive looking cage that sat approximately where the inside of the church had been.
The cage was made of rough-hewn logs about eight inches in diameter and held together by course rope. It was not tall enough to stand up in without crouching. Deirdre led Jana to the front where a simple door was located. It was swung open on its leather hinges.
"As I think Sophie told you, we're going with a slightly edgier concept. Instead of exiting a church you will start in this cage. The whole apple thing was scrapped as well. Once you come out of the cage you can pretty much follow the lead of the extras. They will guide you through it," instructed Deirdre, talking quickly. "Tom and Kieran ran them through the choreography several times this afternoon while you...we, were sleeping. We have simplified it a great deal and it seems to work much better. As I say, just follow the guys lead and we will still end up 'at the altar' so to speak, and that part of the script remains the same. Got it?"
