NN Current Script (9-9-2008)

[Modesty]

This is the same stuff from the Brainstorm thread only it is now the official script. :3

This script marks the beginning of chapter four, titled "Underground".
Available artists are welcome to make a cover for this chapter.

To do things a bit different, please pick parts of the script you would like to "claim". I'll hold off on what I want for now. :3

There are a total of six parts of this script. Please reply to indicate which part(s) you want to draw.

This bit of script is Part A. It will be assigned to: (modesty)
---Daixx's office (see page 19 for a reference picture of Daixx's office)
Kero returns to the office with an bleary eyed Daixx. Sable is at the ready.
S: What's going on? Why wasn't I alerted to the situation?
K: There wasn't enough time to properly prepare. Help me with him will you.Daixx is in his chair. K kneels before Daixx stroking his hand.
K: Master, forgive us for not assisting you in time. Please tells us what to do next.
S: I will start the hunt for your enemies, Master.

Daixx seizes Kero's wrist roughly.
D: No...no not now. There is something much more important that needs seeing to.

K looks amazed. S is quizzical. D still has K's hand.
D (off panel): Let them think they have won for now.
K: Master...

Daixx grins evilly and makes Kero's hand stroke his face.
D: Right now...I am in desperate need of nachos...extra spicy dip this time.
(chibi corner: *Kero blushes* Oh master Daixx. Sable rolls his eyes. Disgusting (optional))

[Modesty]

Part B1 - Assigned to: (azalea)
--Underground--
Marron and Lucius embrace. Angelo and Slyphi comment.
M: Oh Lucius...thank goodness you're alive.
L: Oh Pooky...
Pookey: (Oh my gods...He can't mean me!)
A *grins at Slyphi*
S: Ugh...please.

Af settled against a wall with rune paintings drinking a cup of soup. Silf handing soup to Tyde.
Af: What is this place, Silf? I've never seen this place before and I thought I knew my way around the island.
Silf: Heh...it was a little hideout my friend and I found when we studied here. We should be very safe here. It's reinforced by powerful ancient magic.

Terran loads a gun. Kai looks annoyed.
T: Yeah, as much respect as I have for you Silf, I don't trust in magic.
K: No kidding. Doesn't make sense.

Angelo hands Slyphi her soup. Slyphi looks a bit miffed.
A: This place is well hidden anyway. It won't appear on radar or heat sensors because it's so close the volcano.
Sl: I trust magic just fine. So what are we suppose to do here? We can't just hide here. It's only a matter of time until we're found.

Silf lectures.
S: That is why we all need to understand what is really going on. Daixx and Tai's return was actually long expected and even hoped for. You see there were always disappearances when I was a student here.

*flashback mode*
Faceless Older student. Young Silf and Julios.
"When it first started happening, Julios and I tried to investigate. We learned from some of the older students that this never happened when Daixx and Tai were in charge. It only started happening after they left."

Kero and Sable with the school banners behind them.
"We figured it had something to do with the new directors, but there was no evidence. There was no motive that we could think of."

Silf in military uniform.
"I returned here after serving in the military, but it had changed somehow. The missing students were less frequent and more due to accident than anything. It was believable and there did not seem to be any pattern."

Silf and the dead student.
"Until recently. Whatever was going on behind the scenes was coming out into the open. Fervently I wished that the owners would return. I knew they were alive. I believed they would stop this madness."

Daixx with Kero and Sable.
"But I was dead wrong."

Part B2 - Assigned to (Azaeziel)

Afanen looks thoughtfully into her cup.
Af: You believe that Daixx and Tai were behind this all along?

Silf folds her arms. Angelo scratches his chin.
S: That's my gut reaction. I'm actually thinking that Kero and Sable are pulling most of the strings. Seemed pretty obvious there's a tie between Kero and Daixx at least.
A: Tai used to own the IMA and Kero took over. If Kero is loyal to Daixx the owner of the OTI, that would explain a bit of Tai's motive.

Slyphi flexes her arm. Angelo panics.
Sl: That's great and all but we should figure out how to beat them first. Strike our enemy before they have a chance to strike you. That's what I do.
A: Don't move so much! You're still hurt!

Pookey sitting on Lucius head. Lucius looks up annoyed. Marron interjects.
L: No pooping up there ya hear.
P: (Oh this is fluffier than Daixx's head.)
M: There's something important you're overlooking. Daixx and Tai are brothers.

Marron looks a bit unsure of herself. Kai looks annoyed and so does Terran.
K: What's that got to do with anything?
T: Seems superfluous.
M: Um...what I mean is...ah...

Joy speaks up after bandaging Jaes' head. Jaes silent.
J: It does matter. When the schools were founded it was by their grandfather who was dedicated to education and brought up his grandsons the same way. Daixx and Tai received the schools as gifts when he passed on. So what their rivalry is about is very crucial.

Tyde jumps up.
T: Exactly. That way we can pit them against each other and distract them from killing students. It's an advantage we need.

Terran sets down her cup. Silf leans against the wall patiently.
T: Still, we won't find that out unless we have their inside information. Even I don't have that...even though I shared minds with Tai.
Silf: That is a danger. Their power of possession is our greatest problem. We won't know who we can trust or who could be under their control.

Marron takes Pookey off Lucius' head.
Pookey (NO! I was finally achieving Nirvana!)
M: Th-there is a way to protect ourselves. You see, a demon can only possess a person once unless they have a pact.
L: Lucky us eh. Since Daixx possessed several people with Pookey here, there are about 300 students he can not possess again.

Afanen smiles. Tyde grins
Af: That makes for a good hearing. Marron, you specialize in anti-demonic magic do you not.
T: Really? Awesome! Then we have nothing to worry about.

Marron giggles nervously.
M: Well...I do have experience with...um...dealing with demons. Since some of us have already been possessed we don't have to worry. There are also some creatures who are unable to be possess because of what they are...Angelo for example.
Pookey (Understatement. You could've crushed them both!)

Slyphi glares at him. Angelo rubs the back of his head and grins.
A: Right. Terra-Angel's minds are too complex for demons to grasp.
Sl: Please stop trying to be modest. (lol that's me.)

Focus on Joy and Kai.
M: Right. Anyone with a strong mind or will can repel a possession, unless they are severely distracted or overly-emotional.

Silf looks to Afanen.
Silf: Then lets figure out who has been possessed so far so we know who to protect.
Af: Yes. You and I were already Possessed by Daixx in the Gym.

Jaes and Terran and Miria.
T: I was possessed by Tai after the Golem fight. I think he got Silf then for a bit too.
J: I don't know who had me...must've been Tai.

Lucius blushes.
L: I was hit by Tai.

Slyphi, Kai, Miria and Tyde.
Slyphi: That means me, Miria, Attitude, and Beach Boy are the only ones who have not been touched by either...and Angelo doesn't count nor does Joy apparently.
T: That means we have to be extra careful...OR...

Part B3: Assigned to (modesty)

Close up of a devious looking Tyde.
T: Someone can willingly go to the other side to get information.

Silf bops him on the head.
S: Don't be daft, that's too risky.
T: Ow. Hey...
M: (off panel) I think I can help a bit.

Pookey sits stiffly on Marrons arm. Her eyes are glowing and so are her tattoos. Lucius backs away nervously.
M: It seems the lesser demon augments my power too. I can neutralize any possessed person and possibly drain the magic out of those demons.

Tyde jawdrop. Afanen wide-eyed. Silf looks thoughtful.
T: Holy Mackeral! That's flippin' sweet!
Af: Marron! You can't...you're...
S: Perfect.

Silf smirks.
S: It will be very dangerous for you if they find out about this ability. So Marron must be protected at all costs. Tyde, Slyphi, and Kai should remain close to her so she can protect them.

Afanen looks angrily at Silf.
Af: You're risking too much. Marron should not strain herself.
S: I feel confident in her ability. If she's surrounded by friends the demons won't be able to touch her.
Af: But she's not at full capacity now.
S: She can rest.
Af: That's not it...she's...

Marron touches her stomach and blushes. Lucius has her arm around her shoulders.
L: She's going to have our baby. I won't let anyone near here...no one.
M: Lucius can protect me. He has...talent. As long as we're near each other.

Angelo claps. Slyphi facepalms. Tyde blushes.
A: Oh congratulations you two. This is so exciting. I'll help make sure you stay healthy, Mrs. Lux. I love babies.
S: No...words...
T: woah...

Terran stretches.
Te: Well...that's a factor. We can go over more plans later. We should recharge while we can.

[Modesty]

Part C: Assigned to (azalea)

Everyone settles in to sleeping bags except Tyde who is awake. He's thinking to himself.
T: (Demons can possess a person only once, I'm sure she can still cure me even if she's pregnant.)

Glances at a sleeping Silf.
T: (I know it's risky, but it's the quickest way to find out what's going on. I'm probably the best candidate

because of what I know already.)

Silouetted in the darkness with a light around him.
T: (I am only really dangerous if I'm in a moist environment or near water. Even so, Miria can counter my techniques well enough.)

close up of Tydes face. eyes closed in determined thought.
T: (Angelo could probably counter my reverse healing spells and he can't be possessed so I can't really hurt anyone permanently. Kai knows me pretty well too he'd be able to tell the others what I've done. He's smart he'll figure it out.)

Close up of Tyde's eyes opened and determined.
T: (I've made up my mind. Sorry Silf, this is a risk I'm willing to take for the team.)

[Modesty]

Part D: Assigned to (Modesty)

--Morgue--
Drawers on the wall. A banging noised comes from one of them.

A boot bangs off one of the drawers.

A disgruntled Tai pokes his head out holding his leg in one hand.
Tai: Go figure, he'd leave me in pieces. What an jerk. He knows me too well.

Tai drops his legs onto the floor. and one arm.
Tai: Well...I'm not beat yet. He forgot to cut off my head. Still...

One armed torso lands on the pile of parts.
Tai: This is going to be REALLY difficult.

Tai looks off panel. SFX: Creak.
Tai: Hm...Finn...is that you? Hurry up and get me out of here.

Tyde stands in the doorway.
Ty: That's why Sable tried to send Kai and me here. Now it makes sense.

Tai holds his cheek in one hand and the hand on the floor has the palm facing Tyde. Tyde frames the panel.
Tai: And who my you be, sir. Wait...No I should know...they call you Tydaris Syndication. "Tyde". Fitting name for a Siren. What can I do you for?

Tyde crouches to be eye-level with him.
Tyde: You owned the IMA Right?
Tai: You know your history. Good. What about it?
Tyde: Well...don't you want it back?

Tai grins mischieviously.
Tai: young man...you are in no position to bargain with me. You have only one thing I want and that's a body. As you can see, mine is in a bit of a sad state. I am no fool. There is no reason for you to come here. You have no loyalty to me.

Tyde grins...(just show the mouth.
Tyde: Right...you weren't there when I destroyed the lesser demon with my Reverse healing. It was a splendid show. Daixx was most put off since that meant over 300 wasted possessions.

Tai sighs and holds out both palms.
Tai: You're cleverer than I thought. I'll find out your motive soon enough, for now stay close to me.

Back of Tai's head. Hand held up in offering. Tyde grins nervously.
Tai: any chance you have skill with a needle and thread?
Tyde: Sorry.
Tai: Well...then you better haul my arse out of here.

Humorous frame of Tyde carrying Tai. Tai kicking him in the sides with his dislocated feet.
Tai: Faster mule.
Tyde: (Once the muscle...always the muscle. I've got to stop working out so much.)

[Azaeziel]

Can I request part B2 in this script?

[Modesty]

The power is YOURS! ~Captain Planet. XD

[James StarRunner]

I actually really liked that show too, but now I'm afraid to watch it again in fear of it being too cheesy. XD

And part D is full of awesome. ^_^

[azalea]

close up of eyes? Dark setting? using shadows? I think I shall claim part C if that's okay. ^_^

[Modesty]

Go for it. :3 *goes to make note*
I've also laid claim for now on part B3.


We need a volunteer for the hilarious part A and part B1. Are either of you game for that?

[Azaeziel]

Hmmm... Let me think about it and see if i can fit more into my schedule. (I am deep in the hard facts (read: budgeting stage) of planning my wedding.) I would like to try A, but I don't want to screw it up. It looks short, but it is hillarious and deserves a better artist then I.

If you don't mind it most likely being B&W greyscale (I do rock the grey scale, don't I? hehehe...) then I guess I'll try and prepare something good for A, unless someone else wants it. If anyone else decides they want it, let them do it. Ok?

[azalea]

since it involves a few Silf flashback sequences I'll volunteer for B1

[Modesty]

It's in. Also reminder that you're doing that last scene for the previous script where everyone gathers at the cliffs.

We can start on these at any time (in fact I encourage it.) After Az finishes the gym scene part 1 script, we'll have 3 weeks of buffer since gym scene part 2 is done.

Just so I've got it straight in my head:

Azaeziel - working on gym scene one.
Gym Scene 2 is done
Final cliff scene is next and that's the end of the 'chapter'

Then comes this script. I'll do part A as well since you guys are busy.

[Azaeziel]

Azalea, you have the first images of the interior of Mrs. Silf's safe house. Have you come up with an idea of what it's going to look like so I can work a little on part B2 beforehand? Just curious if it was gonna be like a regular looking house or kinda wierd/mystical and such (being as it is magically protected and all that). Just curious. I can always just do the main characters and wait until you have part B1 up and then fill in backgrounds.

[Modesty]

I was kind of picturing a fallout shelter with runes. But I'm curious to know what azzy was thinking too. :3

[azalea]

^_^ I imagine it being a spacious cave with old propaganda posters and school maps scattered about as well as runes to keep hidden. There'd be old pipe work and vents for water and air...>_> I might toss in a pair of polka dot boxers just for fun.
