#webcomic script

[mysticstarlightduck]

Writemas Day 12!

Thanks for the tag, @kitty-is-writing and @agirlandherquill!!! I'm a bit late, as per usual, but here we go!

For some variety, let's go with a snippet from the script of my webcomic I am working on (:

Prompt: "You don't love me. You can't. Because I love you, that's how this works. Not the other way around. You are meant to hate me."

CALLISTO (looking at the ground, eyes empty, as he brushes Mallerie's hand away from his arm, voice faint and disbelieving):

"Why do you keep lying to me?"

MALLERIE (blinks, frozen in place by confusion):

"...What? I never lie to you. What do you - ?"

CALLISTO (interrupts, closing his eyes in frustration, a twinge of a bitter chuckle to his words as he finally speaks):

"Yes, yes you do. You say you care about me, that you want to help me. Do you think I don't see absurdity of that? Why in the blazing hells would a nobleman, a Duke of all people, want to help someone like me. A Painted Rose - a slave, commodity, a toy. I'm not your peer, not even a damn citizen. And yet you'd risk exile by simply standing beside me, and you expect me to fall for it. What a fucking joke."

MALLERIE (eyes softening, hands fiddling with the hem of his fancy robes):

"But none of it is a lie, Cal. I'm telling you the truth, I-....You're my friend, you're a good person. More than that, even, to me. Is that not enough reason to help you?"

CALLISTO (snaps):

"Stop trying to make me believe in something that is not there! If you want a good time, if you're just so bored you have picked me to entertain you, or whatever, just fucking tell me. I can live with that. Because that's what I'll always be. And only that. Stop -" (his breath hitches on a sob before he forces his voice to grow sharper once more, though he starts openly crying halfway through the sentence anyway) "Stop giving me false hope where there is none. Stop playing with my mind. Stop. Just stop! I can't handle it anymore. I don't care if I'm nothing to you or t-to this disgusting land - I stopped caring long ago. Say whatever you truly want, but don't treat me as if I was stupid enough to believe that-..."

[His words, now a sobbing rant more than anything, are cut off as Mallerie pulls him into a tight but gentle embrace. The act freezes Callisto in place, as he stiffens, tears falling silently now as he struggles to comprehend this, the last thing he ever would've expected. For a moment, time seems to stop.]

Chapter 1 "A Giant start"

-Start chapter one: A giant start-

[Opens up panel one with forest shot, fairly nice day there are a few zooming in panels and then Coles' speech bubble]

Cole: Why the actual fuck are we hiking all the way out here?

Maverick: [sigh] Because my higher ups gave us a report that some hikers saw something

Cole: Oh just fan-fucking-tastic

Cole: You know those are my higher ups too-

[Maverick grabs Cole and shoves the two of them to hide in a crevices behind a tree]

Cole: What the fu-

Maverick: Shut it Shawcross

[Maverick says this with his hand over Coles mouth quiet for a panel, then next has us looking out of the hiding place to see a large humanoid lumbering by after a moment Maverick speaks]

Maverick: Fuck Maverick: There should be no way that's living here

Cole: What's living here?

Maverick: [Growl]A giant

Cole: A FUCKING-

[Maverick covers Coles mouth quickly with his hand again, there is a pause of stagnate silence Giant gets close but doesn't move in to grab them, moves along]

Cole: A giant?? but there are those in native myth right?

Maverick: This is a different Giant- not like native myth

[panel on Cole as a pause before he speaks]

Cole: .... Are you saying this is an invasive Giant species?

Maverick: [sighs] Yes

[Panel of Cole gesturing with a hand]

Cole: But that thing doesn't look no more than 8 feet tall

Maverick: Could be a Giant adolescence-

[Tree hiding spot gets ripped up by large 8 foot tall Giant, both Maverick and Cole pause there before they scramble]

Cole: I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH FUCKING SHUT-

[Cole turns back, brandishing his glock]

Maverick: DON'T SHOOT! Cole: DON'T SHOOT??? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE??

[Cole dodges a large bolder thrown at him with a scream curse]

Maverick: WE NEED TO CALL HQ FOR BACKUP AND TO SECURE THE AREA!

[Maverick jumps over a tree thrown at him]

Cole: THAT COULD TAKE HOURS!

Cole: AND WHY IS THIS THING SO STRONG?

Maverick: NOT WITH THAT SEDATIVE I TOLD YOU TO PUT IN YOUR PACK! I'LL DISTRACT THEM!

[Cole frantically digging through his bag, Panels of Maverick making chaos in background Cole is quick to his loading and draw, shooting about 7-9 shots, Cole is huffing and puffing the giant fall to the ground, snoring, Cole breaks the silence]

Cole: Jesus fucking H. Christ Maverick

Cole: A little warning next time before we go head deep into shitvill

[Panel of Maverick rolling his eyes huffing]

Cole: That happened way quicker than normal

Cole: We better not have to deal with no more monsters that fast

Cole: I think I might just have a fucking heart attack

[Maverick walks over in like two panels and holds his hand out in the third]

Maverick: You haven't died yet, have a feeling you won't die anytime soon Shawcross

[Cole grabs Mavericks hand to help him up]

[Jump to the monster hunter crew coming in, extraction is happening, Cole is off to the side poking at shit and whatever with Maverick in the background, it then focuses on Maverick who is giving his report]

Terry: Uh-uh, alright I think that's all I need Knox-

[Face goes into a slight roll eyes kind of way, but points with his pen and nods]

Terry: [sigh] Shawcross is getting bored, again

[Maverick turns his head to look and sighs, he nods and holds a hand up to wave as he walks over]

Maverick: Cole

Cole: Can we head back home now?

[Cole looks up from his crouched position with a pout, he looks like a moron]

Maverick: No, we have to wait till we get the green light to leave

Maverick: Can you not get in anyone's way for five fucking seconds?

Cole: I'm used to getting a job done and getting the fuck out of dodge knox Cole: Sorry not everyone is used to the aftermath

[Cole and Maverick have a staring contest, Maverick rolls his eyes with an arm toss and turns away, however Cole follows, Cole is standing next to Maverick and then Cole gets a red hoodie shoved into his arms]

Maverick: Told you to bring a fuckin' coat you Gremlin

[Maverick nods to Cole, Maverick watches Cole pulling it on]

Terry: ALRIGHT! LOAD INTO THE VANS!

Cole:Fucking finally-

[Cole and Maverick start making their way to the car, Cole pausing to watch as the trucks start up, moving the thing along, he tilts his head to the side before Maverick calls for him]

Maverick: Come on Shawcross!

Maverick: You were the one complaining about waiting

Cole: Yeah Yeah you hot head

Cole: Can we get potion of shit yourself?

[Maverick looks annoyed that he even knows what Cole is talking about]

Maverick: Cole I'm not stopping to get you iced coffee

Maverick: We have a long way to go before we can get home

Cole: But Maverick!!

Maverick: Shut it shawcross!

Maverick: Fine I'll stop for ice coffee just shut up!

Where To Go From Here: Episode 1 - The Plan

[Milo and Luca walking - Milo wearing jersey over a hoodie and bouncing basketball, Luca carrying guitar case over shoulder; snow on ground]

Luca: No, I won that last one. I guarantee it.

Milo: I win 4 times out of 5, I’m pretty sure-

Luca: Well, I won this time.

Milo: We always stop when you get pissed at losing, that’s probably how yesterday ended too.

Luca: I can’t believe you don’t believe me! Milo, my dude, would I ever lie to you?

Milo: I mean, wouldn’t be the first time you tricked me for fun.

Luca: I only do that about minor things that are funny! I take all of our gaming competitions very seriously, I wouldn’t lie about that!

Milo: [laugh, hand through hair] Whatever, man. Hey, does my hair look okay? I have class with Marcy later today.

Luca: Her again? She’s the new crush of the month, right?

Milo: Don’t say it like that, that sounds gross. She’s so nice and so cool, Luca, you don’t understand. [starry eyes]

Luca: Vague adjectives aren’t very convincing, Milo.

Milo: [groans, catches basketball and holds against his hip] It’s hard to describe. She really makes you sound listened to, you know?

Luca: Sure. [looks away]

Milo: Listen, I’ve got a plan to get her to go out with me.

Luca: Is it just… asking her out? Like a normal person?

Milo: Well, no… [embarrassed, hand on back of neck]

Luca: [rolls eyes] Yeah, of course not. It’s never that simple.

Milo: You always help me out, pleaseeeeee. It’ll work this time!

Montage: -Luca hyping up Milo (patting shoulders, then to a faceless girl, point to him - it’s the red carpet meme) -them doing the “You girls alright?” thing but with a basketball -Luca tripping Milo so he slides across the floor like “hey ladies” -interspersed small dialogue bubbles of “sorry, I’m seeing someone…” “I just don’t know you very well” “sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend” etc until they overlap

Luca: [hesitates] What’s the idea?

Milo: [grins] Okay, consider this. hands out dramatically, go into imagined semi-cartoon mode with skeptical Luca in corner Marcy sees me with another girl, acting like we’re possibly dating but just in that zone where you’re not quite sure. She gets jealous, she’ll want to secure me before this random girl picks me up. She’ll ask me out, or at the very least like me enough to say yes if I ask her, and there we go. Boom, instant first date. [back to Milo, grinning, small blush]

Luca: Where are we getting a random girl to agree to this? What does this even have to do with me?

Milo: [leans in slightly, smirk]

Luca: [eyes widen] Oh, absolutely not.

Milo: C’mon man, pleaseeee!

Luca: [leans in closer, frown] I’d do a lot for you Milo, but that’s where I draw the line. I’m not going to dress like a girl and pretend to date you. Just ask. her. out. Normally!

Milo: It would only be once or twice! And you won’t be dating me, that’s the point. We would just flirt with each other.

Luca: [small blush, facepalm] I don’t know what to tell you, dude. Come on, we’re going to be late.

Milo: At least think about it?

Luca: [walking ahead of him, flustered and glaring, head down but face tilted slightly to talk back to him] I don’t think so, Milo.

Bodach Manor Script Ch. 1

P1: August 13 Time stamp 2:00 A.M. Lana is in a short dress and casual shoes carrying a to go bag and giggling as she approaches a dilapidated house with bars on the windows and cracked siding. On the phone:

Lana: Okay, okay. I just got home, talk to you later.

P2: Lana is inside at the front door. There’s a soft glow from the tv and music playing.

Lana: Hey Dad. Sorry I’m late. P3: Frame expands to view of couch in foreground further into the house. Lana is taking off her shoes but hasn’t looked in. A masculine hand lays limp from the couch and there’s beer cans and a spilled ashtray on the floor. You know how parties are but I brought carne asada tacos from our favorite joint down the stree-

 P4: Close up of Lana’s face- shocked and afraid

P5: August 14, 9:00 A.M.  (Old fashioned phone rings in the manor. Ava reaches to pick it up, she answers without it showing her face)

Ava: Hello? … Yes, this is the Bodach residence... P6:(Close up of her mouth twisted in distaste) P7: Pans to Cain reading the newpaper. Baby Thomas off to the side playing. You know that I don’t like to take in adolescent girls Mr. Fribble. They’re nothing but trouble and I’m already so busy with little Thomas.

Fribble:(P8 of Mr. Fribble’s cluttered office with papers stacked high) I understand that Mrs. Webb. However, you were the last on the list to call and..

(P9 rundown house with EMS carrying a body out. Then to Lana sitting holding a shirt with a shellshocked expressiom)

she has nowhere left to go.

Ava: P10 Ava is pinching the bridge of her nose. Alright.

Fribble: P11 Fribble is holding the phone between his cheek and shoulder while opening a manilla folder in one hand and typing on a laptop with another. Fantastic! Now.. There is still quite a bit of paperwork left, and Miss Lana needs to ensure she has everything…

Ava: I expect you to deliver her promptly no later than 6:00 P.M. Fribble. (P12 Hangs up)

Fribble: P13 Holding phone loosely in hand and surprised. Y-yes ma’am.

P14: Lana in Fribbles office is looking in his direction with an eyebrow raised and a slight frown.

P15: Overhead shot of car driving along a wooded road.

P16: Cuts to image of the house. Ava is standing at the top of the porch steps. Magnifier on a spider web between two porch posts.

P17: They are all sitting in the living room- Lana and Fribble on the coach facing Ava across a coffee table in her own seat.

Ava:  While you are under my care in this house, P18 you must follow the list of rules detailed in this packet or there will be grave consequences.

P18: Lana facing to the side with her face in her hands side-eyes Ava. Fribble clears his throat while nervously pushing up his glasses.

Fribble: P19 Of course, of course. No worries, Miss Lana, Mrs. Webb runs a tight ship but she’s done a lot for her community, so you just stay on you best behavior. But it has been a terribly eventful few hours so why don’t we show her to her room?

Ava: Indeed… Follow me then. Mine and my husband’s room as well as the nursery is on the second floor; my biological son’s is in the basement. You are not permitted to enter any other room aside from your own. We have a modest dwelling in the attic with an attached bathroom to provide some privacy

Fribble: How lovely, Lana why don’t you try settling in and let us discuss a few more details… Lana only has a year left before she’s ready to age out but you do need to keep an eye out. She has a strong history of running away.

Lana: (to herself) As if that’ll be an issue now… There’s nowhere to go anymore.
