/* **First Non-Story-Continuity Script /* Date: May 7th 1998 (Byron's Birthday! Yay!) /* Purpose: What else?! Acting scenes. /* Venue: Anywhere; Probably Rives, TN :) /* Author: Me. :) (Simon Knowles) /* /* Working Title: Forgotten Day In Zeal - What The Scribe Missed /* /* Actors: /* Janus /* Schala /* (Alfador) /* Some nameless/faceless gofor (SN/FG) /* **** /* /* Costumes: /* Janus: Blue blue blue. Cloak with a hood. Cloak must reach down to at /* least shins if not ankles. Not too long; no tripping. /* Schala: See above. Changed fitting to be for a female. Necklace. /* SN/FG: Anything similar to Janus's costume, only FAR less regal. Maybe /* get uncomfortable material? /* /* Props: None [Scene: Janus and Schala's room in the Palace. Lots of windows. VERY sunny. Two beds (use benches, anything flat and not too high off the ground) are spaced about 4' apart, the second one pushed straight against one of the walls, at the window.] [Janus is half-sitting/half-reclining on the bed, leaning against the backboard, looking out the window. Schala walks into the scene from the other end of the room.] Schala: Good morning, Janus.. [Janus turns around and rubs his eyes. Not quite so bright in the room itself, compared to the sunlight outside.] Janus: Schala! :) [/* eep. I spent too much time on Winds] [Schala walks forward and sits on her bed. She swings her legs around so that she's sitting on the opposite edge, facing Janus.] Schala: When did you wake up, Janus? You were certainly tired last night. Janus (thinking a sec): Um.. I guess only a little while ago. Schala: Well, you were certainly bagged last night, after all that excitement. Janus: Yeah. Oh, hey! Where were you at midnight? Schala: Right behind you. You didn't even notice me, you were having so much fun! (giggle) Janus: Really? I looked around for you, but I didn't find you. Did you see that conjurer? He gave those old grannies a scare by summoning a rat onto their head! It was SO funny! (laughs) Schala: I must have missed that. (touch of disdain) I did hear a little scream followed by a lot of laughter, though. (brightening) Did you sleep well? Janus: Well, I don't even remember getting into bed. I just woke up here. Schala (smiling broadly): That's 'cause you fell asleep in my arms, silly. I finally caught you and took you to a corner and sat down with you. You were almost stumbling around on that carpet. /* ******* FORESHADOW! This is for you, Byron :) ******** Janus (slightly more serious): I had the weirdest dream, too.. Schala: Tell me about it, huh? Janus: Well.. I was in this field.. and I was running.. beside me was this strange girl.. she had black hair.. and she was wearing a brown leather tunic.. a little bit like mine but with no hood.. /* NAME THAT CHAPTER!!!!! ;) Janus: We ran across this field towards this hill.. it was all flat.. the ground was wet, like it had just rained, a lot.. Janus: Then, suddenly, we were at the top of the hill.. I had a feeling that I knew this girl, that she wasn't a stranger.. Janus: Then suddenly it was so bright.. I turned, and saw a big column of flame in front of me.. and I looked at the very edge of the flame, and I saw her face, distorted in the fire, then she poked her head around and walked over to me. Schala (ABSOLUTELY mystified): Hmm.. well, there aren't any fields and little hills around here.. and I've never seen anyone wear leather around here.. Janus: Oh, well.. It's just a dream.. [SN/FG enters, timidly. Coughs to get the occupants' attentions.] SN/FG: Pardon me for disturbing you, Miss Schala, Sir Janus.. [Janus wrinkles up his forehead a little.] Schala (kind tone): Yes? What is it? SN/FG: Well, the Queen would like to talk with you, Miss Schala.. and as soon as possible, please.. Schala: Oh, okay. (turns back to Janus) You coming, Janus? Janus: No, s'ok. I'm still a little tired. I think I'll wander down to the river in a little while, okay, Schala? Schala: Okay. Don't fall in! Oh, and take Alfador with you. He needs some excercise. [Annoyed meow from the background. Janus and Schala laugh. SN/FG looks uncomfortable.] [SN/FG leaves, followed by Schala] - That's all, folks! -
