EXT – CASTLE RUINS

 

SOUND: Music fading in

SOUND: Construction work fading in

SOUND: Overlapping footsteps on rocky soil

 

MIJAR

(fading in)

Excellent work, minions! That’s half a wall of castle already. I can feel the pride welling up beneath your suppressed wills. You’ll thank me for your labor someday, when you see what great things I accomplish through you. Keep playing, minstrels! A little louder.

 

SOUND: Compliance spell

SOUND: Music

SOUND: Overlapping footsteps on rocky soil

 

NAZZY

Are you sure you’re ready for this?

 

YEMILINA

Absolutely. After that awful cave woman’s cluttered den with that dead, metal vivicord, confronting a mad mage is a refreshing return to reality.

 

NAZZY

Don’t forget to use that new drum.

 

YEMILINA

Right.

 

SOUND: Wolf-banishing drum

SOUND: Dragon wings

 

YEMILINA

Stay close, won’t you, My Love?

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

TELOOPA

But save cooking Mijar in your fire as a last resort. It’s less satisfying for me.

 

SOUND: Dragon roar

 

TELOOPA

Yeah, yeah, plus your whole ‘not a killer’ instinct. I hear you.

 

SOUND: Frog croak

 

ENELCIA

I can see our giant friend coming. We better get ready.

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Mijar’s back is turned. He won’t hear us coming with that music so loud.

 

TELOOPA

You have to give my rings back now, Wenoburt.

 

WENOBURT

Promise to be good, okay?

 

TELOOPA

No. I don’t have to let you be in charge of when I get my summoning power.

 

NAZZY

But…?

 

TELOOPA

But Nazzy says I have to, and she knows when my parents met.


 

YEMILINA

(gasp)

Nazzy, you wouldn’t!

 

NAZZY

(whisper)

Don’t tell her that.

 

WENOBURT

Be careful what you say, and you can have your rings, alright?

 

TELOOPA

Pebble. Butterfly. See? Careful.

 

WENOBURT

Okay…

 

SOUND: Clinking rings

SOUND: Glowing ambiance

SOUND: Giant footsteps

 

MIJAR

(startled noise)

 

SOUND: Startled crowd

 

TODDLER GIANT

No more music!

 

TELOOPA

Musical instruments.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Musical instruments crash together

 

YEMILINA

Oh, not my wolf drum!

(grunt)

Got it.

 

SOUND: Wolf-banishing drum

 

TELOOPA

I have them all. Take them and run!

 

SOUND: Musical instruments scooped up

SOUND: Giant running footsteps

 

MIJAR

Nooo! Arghh! Acapella!

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Overlapping compliance spells

SOUND: Overlapping humming

 

TELOOPA

It won’t work.

 

MIJAR

Fool! How can you expect a baby to be the general for an army of giants?

 

TELOOPA

We thought about an army of giants, but you know, it’s just you. That would be overkill.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Magic wind

SOUND: Startled crowd

SOUND: Overlapping giant footsteps

SOUND: Giants muttering

 

TELOOPA

Oops.

 

ENELCIA

Just get the enslaved workers home, guys. We’ve got the situation under control.

 

SOUND: Giant footsteps

SOUND: People lifted

SOUND: Gasps

SOUND: Humming fading out

SOUND: Giant footsteps fading out

 

MIJAR

Bring them back, you brutes!

 

SOUND: Dragon roaring

SOUND: Compliance spell interrupted

SOUND: Dragon breathing fire

SOUND: Cape catches fire

 

MIJAR

Ahhhh, my cape!

 

SOUND: Stamping feet

SOUND: Smoking cape

 

MIJAR

Damn my keen sense of irony! Why couldn’t I have turned you into a slug? It doesn’t matter that you don’t slay slugs. My poor cape would have thanked me for it!

 

TELOOPA

Bottle of red wine.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Glass bottle rattling in magic wind

SOUND: Glass bottle smashing

SOUND: Liquid glugging out

 

MIJAR

(yelp of pain)

You will destroy your magic at that rate! Don’t you know what happens if you overuse the objects that hold your power?

 

TELOOPA

It’s a risk I’m willing to take.

 

MIJAR

Just so you can summon glass bottles to throw at me? You petty—

 

TELOOPA

No, so I can stain your cape.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Cape flapping in magic wind

SOUND: Hands folding cloth

 

TELOOPA

It’s like half your ego lives in this thing. I’m sick of it.

 

MIJAR

Give me my cape! I’ll…I’ll —

(groan of pain)

 

TELOOPA

Groan at me?

 

SOUND: Fires burning

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Too much fire, Sir JP! You’ll burn the forest!

 

TELOOPA

Rain?

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Rain

 

TELOOPA

Ooo, really? Oh, oh, tornado!

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

 

MIJAR

Don’t play with deadly weather, you ninny!

 

SOUND: Tornado

 

TELOOPA

It’s your fault! You gave me magic withdrawal. I’m having a big relapse!

 

MIJAR

Arrgh, my head! Someone sing so I can—

 

YEMILINA

If you can’t summon sap bugs, you can’t make me sing!

 

MIJAR

Sing for your life! I can’t stop the witch’s tornado with this splitting headache!

 

SOUND: Tornado

 

NAZZY

I do wish you’d said ‘rainbow.’

 

TELOOPA

Time for our secret weapon. Ready to fetch her?

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Boot lands on ground

 

WENOBURT

You summoned a boot? Really?

 

SOUND: Hands picking up boot

SOUND: Dagger unsheathed

 

WENOBURT

Whoa, there’s a dagger hidden inside this! Can I have it? Please, please, please, please, please…

 

TELOOPA

Sure. Nazzy?

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Body slam

 

NAZZY

Ooof! I’ll go get her.

 

SOUND: Tornado

 

NAZZY

Maybe I’ll bring her right before the tornado.

 

TELOOPA

Good call. It might kill us.

 

SOUND: Time Travel – departing

 

MIJAR

No, not the time traveller! Nooooo! Zap her, staff! Zap her! Work without me—owww!

 

SOUND: Magic Staff fizzling

 

 

INT  -       QUEEN’S SUMMER HOME

 

SOUND: Time Travel – arriving

SOUND: Footsteps on floor

SOUND: Vivicord

SOUND: Fairy wings fading in

 

NAZZY

Queen’s summer home, Teloopa finishing her report on Mijar…right spot. Oh…except, this is right when Rose goes in. I’ll just wait out here.

 

SOUND: Footsteps on floor

SOUND: Door opening

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

(fading in)

So you’ve met your predecessor. I won’t pretend we ended things peacefully, but from what you’re describing—

 

TELOOPA

Mijar said – and I quote – “The Queen’s power is an illusion. Only magical beings, such as ourselves, have true power. We must stop feeding the illusion of hers.”

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

He can’t have said that.

 

TELOOPA

I assure you he did.

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Teloopa—

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

Shoo, fairy! Can’t you see I’m in an important meeting with my Royal Sorceress?

 

ROSE

But everyone is scared that Mijar will attack and they—

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

What does Mijar truly want, Sorceress? Discern the meaning behind his rash words.

 

TELOOPA

I’m not seeing subtext. He wants to take over the kingdom.

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

What nonsense! He is acting out to get my attention. Once he has it, he will be only too happy to serve me again.

 

TELOOPA

But—

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

Not to worry, Sorceress. He has been far too insolent to ascend all the way up to my best graces. If he atones for his behaviour, I will reinstate him in a lower position – perhaps as your assistant.

 

TELOOPA

As much as I’d love that, I don’t think you can actually enforce—

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Please, Teloopa, we need your help! You have to come back.

 

TELOOPA

I’m busy.

 

ROSE

But Mijar—

 

TELOOPA

What’s he done now?

 

ROSE

He might do anything while you’re not there. Please hurry back.

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

I said SHOO, fairy! That is a royal command.

 

TELOOPA

Uh…we might be done here. I’ve reported a dangerous traitor to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is going to assume otherwise and try to make him grovel. Nothing else I say is going to change that outcome, right?

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Come on!

 

SOUND: Footsteps on floor

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

We are not finished, Sorceress! I want to know more of what he said to you.

 

TELOOPA

(groan)

Here, Rose. I’ll conjure an alarm-charm to tide you over.

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Conjuring spell

SOUND: Wind chimes

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Detection spell

 

ROSE

Wind chimes?

 

TELOOPA

They’ll make noise when Mijar gets close.

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

SOUND: Wind chimes

 

ROSE

But they already chime just because I’m flying with them.

 

TELOOPA

It’ll be a bigger noise for Mijar. You’ll be able to tell. Just go.

 

SOUND: Fairy departing

SOUND: Door closing

 

QUEEN AUGUSTA

(fading out)

Now from the beginning: what was the first thing Mijar said about me, and what did you say to defend your queen?

 

SOUND: Footsteps on floor

 

NAZZY

(sigh)

I think I came too early. How long does she put up with the Queen’s questions? Do you know, Vivicord?

 

SOUND: Short vivicord chatter

 

NAZZY

Hope you’re right. This is a bit of a dead space in our documentary. Want to tell the cave people a story while they’re waiting?

 

SOUND: Long vivicord chatter

SOUND: Door opening

 

TELOOPA

Good talk. Bye!

 

SOUND: Door closing

 

NAZZY

Oh, good! She’s alone. We’ll have to leave it there, Vivicord. You can finish the story next time.

 

SOUND: Vivicord whimper

SOUND: Overlapping footsteps on floor

 

NAZZY

Teloopa, wait! Don’t teleport yet.

 

TELOOPA

Nazzy! I told Yemilina you’d never make it back. Must you be so—

 

NAZZY

I’ve been back for a while. I’m from the future.

 

TELOOPA

(sigh)

Of course you are.

 

NAZZY

Your future self needs your help. You’re our best weapon against Mijar.

 

TELOOPA

What? Why isn’t my future self the best?

 

NAZZY

He drains your power. Your future self can’t defeat him.

 

TELOOPA

(disappointed noise)

Tell her to use that Bard Vengeance potion we were saving.

 

NAZZY

She already did that. And we have giant boogers on standby. She’s hoping you can finish him off while he’s doubly incapacitated.

 

TELOOPA

I’m on my way back to the group right now. Are you sure we can’t just—

 

NAZZY

You will fail to turn Mijar into a flower. He makes flowers sprout from your ears.

 

TELOOPA

(angry growl)

A flower is too good for him!

 

NAZZY

A frog then?

 

TELOOPA

We’ll see! Take me to future Mijar!

 

NAZZY

Off we go.

 

SOUND: Time Travel – departing

 



 

EXT – CASTLE RUINS

 

SOUND: Time Travel – arriving

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Rain?

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Rain

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Ooo, really? Oh, oh—

 

NAZZY

Don’t say that! It’s your Past Self’s turn to talk.

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Oh, hi, Past Self.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

SOUND: Body slam

 

PAST TELOOPA

Ooof! How did you make me crash into you?

 

NAZZY

Never mind.

 

MIJAR

(straining noises)

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

Princess, watch out! He’s fighting off his headache! He’s aiming at you!

 

YEMILINA

(gasp)

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Compliance spell

 

YEMILINA

(singing)

I will not sing!

I will not sing!

Your compliance spell can’t make me sing!

 

MIJAR

(evil laugh)

 

NAZZY

Present Teloopa – the only thing you say now is…?

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Enchanted Mirror Place.

 

SOUND: Muted summoning spell

 

YEMILINA

(singing)

No, no, no, I can talk,

I can talk!

Somehow or other,

I will shake this off!

 

SOUND: Shuffling feet

 

ENELCIA

Gagging you! Don’t take it personally!

 

SOUND: Body slam

SOUND: Hand slapping mouth

 

YEMILINA

(singing)

Somehow I’ll—mmm-mmm!

 

SOUND: Enchanted Mirror Place

SOUND: Echoing Giant Footsteps

SOUND: Echoing Mucus Drips

 

MIJAR

(frightened noises)

How? How so many…ahhhh! So many giant boogers! It’s unnatural!

 

TODDLER GIANTS

(echoing)

It’s a booger ambush.

 

PAST TELOOPA

I need a little inspiration. What was Mijar doing here?

 

NAZZY

Rebuilding the castle.

 

PAST TELOOPA

I’m guessing that’s not what Wilzerlott wants?

 

NAZZY

Well, Yemilina and I were hoping to redesign this area as a greenhouse or a water park.

 

PAST TELOOPA

I could start a water park for you. How about a fountain right here?

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Conjuring spell

SOUND: Water fountain

 

NAZZY

Is now really the right moment to conjure a fountain?

 

PAST TELOOPA

Yes. Yes, it is.

 

SOUND: Echoing giant footsteps

SOUND: Echoing mucus drips

 

MIJAR

Out of my way, Thumping Snot Holes!

 

SOUND: Multiple zap attacks

 

TODDLER GIANTS

(echoing)

We can’t be zapped.

 

MIJAR

Noooo! Your excessive mucus makes my skin crawl! Be gone!

 

SOUND: Magic staff fizzle

SOUND: One weak zap attack

 

MIJAR

(shuddering groan)

 

PAST TELOOPA

What you need is a nice rinse.

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Transformation spell

 

MIJAR

(scream of pain)

 

SOUND: Fish flop

SOUND: Splash

SOUND: Fish swimming in water

 

TODDLER GIANT

(gasp)

The bad man is a fish!

 

WENOBURT

Oh my gosh, he’s a fish in the new fountain we got!

 

ROSE

Wow!

 

WENOBURT

Is he going to be part of the water park now?

 

YEMILINA

(muffled speech)

 

ENELCIA

Oh, sorry! You can sing or speak freely now.

 

YEMILINA

Is it really a good idea to have an evil fish in a children’s water park?

 

PAST TELOOPA

Of course it is. He’ll be a major attraction.

 

SOUND: Frog croaking

SOUND: Frog hopping

SOUND: Tether pulling taut

 

ENELCIA

No, no, baby! No! Don’t play with that fish. It’s an evil fish that has tried to enslave us. Come back here!

 

SOUND: Fish flop

SOUND: Straining tether

SOUND: Frog croak

 

ENELCIA

He’ll bite you! Past Teloopa, please turn my frog baby back into an elf.

 

SOUND: Frog croak

SOUND: Straining tether

 

PAST TELOOPA

I don’t have a potion. Transformation spells aren’t the most comfortable way—

 

ENELCIA

Oohhh, just do it before I change my mind! I’ll give her a cuddle if it stings. She’ll be okay.

 

PAST TELOOPA

All right.

 

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Transformation spell

SOUND: Baby crying

SOUND: Baby being hugged

 

ENELCIA

Ohh, darling! Shh, shhh, it’s okay, my precious girl. I’m sorry. We’ll stay on dry land together from now on, I promise! Oh, I missed you…

 

SOUND: Footsteps on rocky soil

 

YEMILINA

Past Teloopa, one more, please! Can you change Sir JP back into a human?

 

PAST TELOOPA

What? He’s something else, too? What is he?

 

SOUND: Dragon wings

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

PAST TELOOPA

No way! That is so intense. I don’t know if I can get a transformation spell through dragon hide.

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

NAZZY

Maybe two of you together could do it.

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

I need a power transfer.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Right. That sounds embarrassing. Does Mijar really drain—

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Oh, it gets worse. Just fix me, so we can move on.

 

PAST TELOOPA

How do I…?

 

NAZZY

Crash course. Here.

 

SOUND: Book thumps into hand

 

NAZZY

I kept the book.

 

SOUND: Page turn

 

PAST TELOOPA

(fading out)

Once exposed, the power-storing objects will respond to sound from the power’s original vessel. While said vessel is in close proximity, applicable words spoken will be perceived as summoning commands. This effect will intensify over time…

 

SOUND: Footsteps on rocky soil

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

YEMILINA

What? What is it, My Love?

 

SOUND: Dragon groan

 

YEMILINA

You can talk to me. What’s wrong?

 

SOUND: Low dragon growl

 

YEMILINA

It’s not enough to change back now? Not now that…

 

SOUND: Claws scratching dirt

 

YEMILINA

Oh, yes, draw it in the dirt for me. I admit I’m having trouble understanding every noise you make, though you express yourself very well.

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

YEMILINA

Your quota…I see. You’ve slayed far more dragons as a dragon than you ever did as a knight. I can understand your reasoning there…much as I…much as we…

(sniffling)

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

SOUND: Claws scratching dirt

 

YEMILINA

Is that our baby-to-be?

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

YEMILINA

Oh, that’s a wonderful sketch, My Love. You could be an artist even if you’re never a knight again.

 

SOUND: Soft dragon roar

 

SOUND: Glowing ambiance

SOUND: Magic staff

SOUND: Power transfer spell

SOUND: Overlapping footsteps on rocky soil

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Power restored. Two Teloopas ready to de-dragon you, Sir JP.

 

SOUND: Dragon groan

 

YEMILINA

He’s not ready. H-he’s duty-bound to…to postpone this.

 

SOUND: Fairy wings

 

ROSE

But you’ll be so sad if he can’t hug you and help you with your baby.

 

SOUND: Baby fussing

SOUND: Dragon groan

 

YEMILINA

He’s sad, too. 

 

ENELCIA

Sir JP, you may not get another chance like this anytime soon. Are you sure?

 

SOUND: Baby fussing

SOUND: Dragon groan

SOUND: Dragon body fall

 

WENOBURT

Oh, no, he’s a scaly mountain of gloom. Get up, Sir JP! You look pathetic lying there.

 

SOUND: Dragon huff

 

YEMILINA

Don’t despair. We’ll build you a big resting ledge right by my window. You’ll still see me in all my frilliest night gowns, and I’ll teach our baby to see past your scales. You will be loved!

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Ulgh! I can’t take this anymore. We’re doing it my way. Our way. Ready, Past Self?

 

PAST TELOOPA

I’m probably thinking what you’re thinking, but tell me anyway.

 

SOUND: Footsteps on rock

 

PAST and PRESENT TELOOPA

(overlapping)

Part-time? Weekly. Five and two? No. Six and one? Better.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Okay. Sundays?

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Yep. One…two…

 

YEMILINA

What are you going to—?

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

…three!

 

SOUND: Double magic staff

SOUND: Extra powerful transformation spell

SOUND: Dragon roar

SOUND: Time measuring spell

 

SIR JP

(scream of pain)

 

SOUND: Clanking armor

 

YEMILINA

Oh, you’re back, armor and all!

 

SOUND: Body slam

 

YEMILINA

Oh, I missed your body so much!

 

SIR JP

I missed yours, My Love.

 

SOUND: Kiss

 

YEMILINA

But Teloopa, you…you…

 

SIR JP

You have dishonoured my choice. I can protect my family and the kingdom better as a dragon.

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

I was listening. You’ll be human one day a week. One day of daddy duty and hanky-panky, then six days of protecting everyone.

 

SIR JP

The dragons will eventually learn this pattern and attack the kingdom while I am weaker.

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Well, we’ve been fighting them for hundreds of years without you as a dragon. We’ll figure it out.

 

YEMILINA

Oh, Teloopas, thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Don’t gush.

 

SOUND: Clanking armor

SOUND: Kissing

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

And don’t kiss so loud. Back off, vivicord!

 

SOUND: Vivicord yelp

 

PRESENT TELOOPA

Why are you standing so close to them? The cave people don’t want to hear all that lip-smacking and slobbering.

 

SOUND: Vivicord footsteps

SOUND: Kissing fading out

 

PAST TELOOPA

Are you done with me, Nazzy?

 

NAZZY

We’re going to take a little detour. The Mist People need to see you.

 

PAST TELOOPA

The Mist People?

 

NAZZY

After you see them, I’ll take you back to your own time.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Wait…you’re going to make me forget that I’m minutes away from sprouting flowers out of my ears, aren’t you? I want to remember that! I don’t want ear flowers.

 

NAZZY

That’s the problem.

 

SOUND: Time travel - departing

 

PAST TELOOPA

Hey!

 

 

EXT – CLIFF OVERLOOKING OCEAN

 

SOUND: Time Travel – arriving

SOUND: Ocean waves

SOUND: Honking geese

SOUND: Vivicord

SOUND: Mist People ambiance

 

NAZZY

Hey, remember me?

 

MIST PEOPLE

Traveler Nazzy.

 

NAZZY

That’s right. I have a favor to ask. You did some memory erasing for me and a little girl. This young woman needs a quick memory reset, too.

 

PAST TELOOPA

I do not! Get out of my face, you weird puffs of people.

 

SOUND: Mist People ambiance

 

MIST PEOPLE

Creator Teloopa.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Huh?

 

MIST PEOPLE

Mijar fish.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Oh, you know about that?

 

MIST PEOPLE

Ancient history.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Good for you. I don’t study mine. I figure Nazzy messed it up anyway.

 

MIST PEOPLE

First fish.

 

NAZZY

Who was…Mijar? No, he wasn’t. Fish date back long before Wilzerlott existed.

 

MIST PEOPLE

First bad.

 

PAST TELOOPA

What’s with the two-word sentences?

 

NAZZY

They speak in gusts.

 

PAST TELOOPA

And they teach history that way?

 

MIST PEOPLE

Reading learners.

 

PAST TELOOPA

How do you even touch books? You’re like clouds.

 

MIST PEOPLE

Pearls touch.

 

NAZZY

Don’t try to understand. About Mijar – he was the first bad fish?

 

PAST TELOOPA

You’re trying to understand. How come you get to puzzle out their gust talk?

 

NAZZY

Because I’m me.

 

MIST PEOPLE

Mijar start.

 

SOUND: Mist People ambiance

 

MIST PEOPLE

Giant fish.

 

NAZZY

You mean Mijar is an ancient ancestor of these giant fish?

 

MIST PEOPLE

Bad Mijar.

 

SOUND: Mist People ambiance

SOUND: Monster surfacing

SOUND: Giant fish snapping

 

MIST PEOPLE

Bad fish.

 

NAZZY

That must be why they’re so intelligent. His magic merging with a fish body sparked their evolution.

 

PAST TELOOPA

I started a whole species? I’m a freaking goddess!

 

MIST PEOPLE

Excessive knowledge.

 

NAZZY

Yes, it’s even worse now, isn’t it? Wipe her quick. I’ll take her back.

 

PAST TELOOPA

You backstabbing—

 

MIST PEOPLE

Erase memories.

 

SOUND: Mist people swooping

SOUND: Laser activation

SOUND: Mechanical arm moving

 

PAST TELOOPA

My future self witnesses everything! How is this such a big deal?

 

NAZZY

Timing matters. Just trust me.

 

PAST TELOOPA

Never!

 

MIST PEOPLE

Teloopa erase.

 

PAST TELOOPA

You creepy little—

 

SOUND: Laser memory removal

 

PAST TELOOPA

(dazed sound)

 

SOUND: Time travel – departing

SOUND: Vivicord

SOUND: Mist People ambiance

 

MIST PEOPLE

Left vivicord.

 

SOUND: Time travel – arriving

 

NAZZY

Sorry. I forgot I brought the vivicord. I didn’t mean to leave him behind.

 

MIST PEOPLE

We record.

 

NAZZY

Right, you have your own recording equipment. I should’ve left him in Wilzerlott. I’ve just gotten so used to taking him with me everywhere, so the cave people don’t miss things.

 

MIST PEOPLE

Silly people.

 

NAZZY

They’re quite a mix of things, really – silly, serious, kind, cruel…I wonder what they’d like to hear about next.

 

MIST PEOPLE

Why Mijar?

 

NAZZY

Well, he was the biggest thing happening in Wilzerlott. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what the next big thing is. Plan for new installments about it, whatever it may be.

 

MIST PEOPLE

Time jump.

 

NAZZY

It’s true. If things get dull, I could jump to times and places that would give us the best stories for our audience. That’s a lot of possibilities. Sometimes too many choices are as bad as none.

 

SOUND: Vivicord chatter

 

NAZZY

Do you have an idea, vivicord?

 

SOUND: Vivicord chatter

 

NAZZY

That would be a good start.

 

SOUND: Vivicord chatter

 

NAZZY

What a great suggestion! I think I’ll do that. Farewell, cave people of the future. Thank you for listening. If we are not scarfed down by dragons, we will resume our documentary on March 1st 2025, your time. As we’ve just discussed, our main focus will be—

 

SOUND: Vivicord chatter

 

NAZZY

Well, he said it best. That’s what’s coming. Wish us luck!

 

SOUND: Closing theme music
