actor: julie
props: magic flying carpet and wishing well
Julie is exploring in the backyard at Tench's house. She finds an old wishing well and a red carpet rolled up to the side. She unrolls the carpet and it swooshes away and then comes back to hover right in front of her, moving back and forth, coaxing her to get on. she hops on and then zoom, the magic carpet GOES IN to the well. Julie is scared! what happens next...?

Jessica is in the large backyard of my "en" location. The follows a small road to the very back of the yard, where there is a wishing well, which advertises wishes granted for 25 cents. She pulls a quarter out of her pocket and throws it in, but it bounces back to her. Puzzled, she moves closer to make sure it GOES IN this time, but it bounces back again. She looks carefully down the well, and this time places her hand well into it before letting go of the coin to make sure it GOES IN, but it bounces back to her again. Now she's angry, and just keeps batting the coin back into the well each time. Finally she gives up and just grabs the coin to put it back into her pocket, however, a quick glance confirms that the coin was a nickel, not a quarter. No wonder it wouldn't GO IN!

Jennifer Lawrence (Ji) is on the terrace of LWT the home of Entertainment (EN), she is in a lovely evening dress with a train (Left side)waiting to perform, she wants to make a wish in the wishing well (Right Side), she has pound coin but every time she flips it in the well it just bounces back out, she is distraught, it must mean bad luck and her performance will tank, try as she might it just won't Go IN (KW)

Janet Jackson (ji-) is in Karen’s (-en) bathroom (3rd tone) when she notices the toilet was replaced with a sewer well (井). Janet looks down the well and it turns out to be a paradise island down there. She jumps on magic carpet (辶) and swoops down. I’m GOING IN, looks like fun.
