RPG OtakuBoards Survivor 4: The Titans

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]The cover image looks great. It's so beautifully done. ^_^ As for the script, I thought of another idea on combining our powers, if I can fly, when White is controling time a bit my character could take advantage of that to take out airborne threats, or if in a building, security cameras or automatic machine guns up higher on the wall while Mike's character is putting the hurt on the bad guys. Once my character has dropped off a shrunken Sakura that is.

Do we have more of the script that I can take a look at? Because so far it looks totally awesome, but I'm a bit unclear as to how we end up to the point where JJ ends up dying. [/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[SIZE=1]Sorry guys, I tried to do some, but I haven't had much time lately, and with Mike having no time either it really slowed the process down.

I wrote this in the past hour, but I can't think of any more. There isn't much progress because honestly I can't think of how to go about it. Like Beth said, I have no idea how to get to the point where JJ dies, let alone learn to control these powers of ours, and defeat the evil crime syndicate run by the great Sandy ><""

But yeah, I haven't sent this to Mike first because there just isn't much time for that any more. If you have suggestions or whatever let me know, it's about 3 typed pages in Word.

I know it needs [I]some[/I] editting because unknowingly I focussed on my character ><" Too used to doing that, sorry.

[COLOR=Navy]Mary runs across her bed, staring at the now large gorge between the bed and her bedside table where her mobile phone is sitting. She scratches her head, wondering how to get across. She eyes her lamp and the power cord that stretches to the ground. Mary slides down her sheet, hitting the carpet with an inaudible thump. Running the distance to where the cord starts as she makes her ascent, walking up the dresser, holding the cord tightly.

Mary finally makes it to the top, bending over with her hands on her knees, catching her breath. She looks at her huge phone and climbs on top of it, jumping on the buttons to access her phonebook. She looks up Ms. Beth?s number and hits ?Call?, sitting on the screen beside the speaker as the dial tone rings.

After a long time she picks up only to answer?

Ms. Beth:
Can?t talk?.right now?. *click*

Mary:
What?! She hung up before I said anything!

She jumps on the redial button, determined to get a word in.

Mary:
Ms. Beth! Don?t hang up.

Ms. Beth:
??Hello? Who is it?

Mary:
It?s Mary.

Ms. Beth:
Mary? It doesn?t sound like you?Why does your voice sound so squeaky?

Mary:
This may be hard to believe but I?ve shrunk.

Ms. Beth:
Shrunk?! How?!

Mary:
I don?t know?but I think we should meet up?Can you come to my house?

Ms. Beth:
Yes, I?ll be there soon.

Mary:
Ok, I?ll call the others.

Fade to black.

Half an hour later?

Mary is now waiting for everyone to arrive, after unlocking the door with some trouble since she?s so small. She is currently sitting on the table in the hallway, having scaled up there by using another power cord.

Ms. Beth stands with the others outside Mary?s house. She knocks on the door with no response from inside. Carefully she tests the doorknob, watching the door swing open as she pushes gently.

Ms. Beth:
?Mary?

Mary: *shouting*
I?M HERE!!!

Tiana hears the squeaking and sees Mary standing on the table, jumping up and down and waving her arms frantically.

Tiana: *pointing*
She?s on the table.

They all gather around the table, looking down at the downsized girl. Ms. Beth picks her up gently, bringing her to eye level.

Mike:
Heh, I think I like her better this way.

Mary glares and shouts at him, but it comes out small and squeaky as usual.

Mary:
Grrr, I don?t care. Just find a way to make me big again!!!

Ms. Beth:
The first question is?has anything weird happened to any of you?

Ms. Beth looks at the other students who suddenly remember their experiences earlier in the morning.

Flashbacks for each character.

All:
Yes?

Silence?

Stephen: *first to speak*
My mom called me, and when I mumbled to myself about wanting more time, I found her frozen?

JJ: *holds his right arm up*
?I hit my head on the sidewalk and didn?t get hurt?then I punched through a stone slab?.

Tiana:
Uhhhh. I moved things with my mind?

Mike:
I...uhhh....like, almost sent a guy through a brick wall...

Mary: *yelling from her position in Ms. Beth?s hand*
Well obviously I shrunk!

Tiana:
What about you, Ms. Beth?

Ms. Beth:
?I flew.

JJ:
Where do you think these sudden powers come from?

Ms. Beth:
Do you really think they?re powers? Maybe we?re just imagining it.

JJ:
No way. I felt my head hit that concrete, and my fist smash through the stone.

Mary:
And I clearly know I?m small. I can?t be imagining this.

Tiana:
Maybe they came from that research place we went to yesterday.

Stephen:
Now that you mention it. I think about it?there was gas in the tubes I knocked over but it disappeared after I smashed them.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Well if it?s not too clichéd, I just realized that being the slick bad guy that he is with his super-speed, Sandy could be the power behind the genetic research in the first place. Which would be why the other groups would have any powers to begin with. Sandy had them altered to better serve his organization.

That being the case he would know that we were exposed in the research facility and would decide to have us taken out whether or not we got side benefits to keep that little tidbit of information from coming to light. Though since at this point we will have fought some crime elements he will know. [us being reffered to as the Titans in the papers and all]

Thus he would know what possible powers we would get and would actually know what would kill JJ. This act uniting us in going after the bigger criminals who up to this point we had avoided while we were getting use to our abilities. ^_~

I don?t have time to work on it right now, but I?ll be back later this afternoon or early evening. But I figured I'd toss the idea out there incase someone else wants to use it.[/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Ahhhh!!! The deadline's almost here.

Well, I've done some editting to the intro piece, so go back and check it out, plus I did a bit of editting to my latest.

Mike says he's working on the next section.

I think we still might be able to make it...^^;;[/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]All right I took a wack at writing some of the script. I've never done it before so I don't know if it's any good or not. [Is nervous] Also I don't know if anyone has written the death of JJ. Either way I wanted to at least give it a try. Hopefully at least part of what I wrote will be useful. ^_~ Especially how Sandy seems to just appear. He doesn't of course, he just moves so fast the others are not seeing him. Anyway....

[SIZE=1]The team is gathered at Ms. Beth?s house several weeks after the initial incident at the research lab has happened. They have been coming over to her home on a regular basis as they learn to cope with their new abilities. Something that they have been reluctantly doing at Ms Beth?s request. They are gathered around the table in Beth?s kitchen.

Ms. Beth:
It?s great that all of you are using your newfound abilities to help others.

She runs her right hand through her hair nervously as she addresses the teenagers who are looking in any direction but her. She sighs.

Ms Beth:
But don?t you think it would be better if we started working more like a team? The newspapers are already referring to all of us as the Titans and you could do so much more if you worked together.

Mike:
Get real teach. I don?t work with anyone.

Tiana:
Don?t you mean no one can stand you?

JJ: (groans)
Gods can?t you two ever quit squabbling like idiots?

Mary:
If Mike wasn?t such a moron there wouldn?t be anything to argue over.

Stephen:
Come on guys? Why can?t we just get along?

Mike, Mary and Tiana turn to Stephen and tell him to shut up at the same time.

Mike: (laughs)
Honestly Ms Beth, teach or not I?m sick of this. I?m out of here.

Everyone watches as Mike heads for the door to leave.

Mysterious voice:
Oh my, and here I was worrying over nothing.

Everyone looks for where the voice came from but other than themselves the room seems to be empty.

Ms. Beth: (both frightened and annoyed)
Where are you? Show yourself!

Mysterious voice: (laughing)
Oh dear, I guess you can?t see me.

A tall blonde man dressed in a rather outlandish outfit seems to suddenly materialize right in front of Ms Beth who shrieks in fear and stumbles backwards tripping over a chair behind her. Only to halt as in midair as JJ grabs her left arm and helps her back up.

Mysterious Man: (smiling mischievously)
My name is Sandy; I am the owner of the research facility where your students so rudely destroyed years of delicate work.

Ms Beth: (turning red from embarrassment)
I don?t understand, I already issued a full apology to the director of the research facility and he assured me that I was not to worry about it.

Sandy: (tilts his head to the side as if in thought)
Well that is true, but you neglected to inform him about the unexpected side affects that occurred.

He shakes his head back and forth and waggles his right forefinger at them as if scolding naughty children.

The others start protesting but Sandy cuts them off.

Sandy: (in a tone of regret)
I?m sorry but that just won?t do. If word gets out about how you acquired your abilities it would interrupt my beauty sleep.

JJ: (incredulous)
Your beauty sleep? Just what kind of freak are you?

Sandy: (in a hurt tone)
Now that was sooo not necessary.

He appears to vanish once again and a moment later JJ doubles over in pain as something strikes him with incredible force in the chest throwing him back into the kitchen wall. A long metal piece protruding from him right where his heart was. A moment later Sandy reappears at the same time the front door is smashed open and a couple of the notorious members of the Mercenaries enter the home.

Sandy: (In a bored tone)
Do take care of that mess
*he points to JJ*
Along with the other rejects.
*he sighs melodramatically*
Good help is so hard to find these days.

In the next moment Sandy has vanished and Ms Beth, Mary, Mike, Tiana and Stephen are all standing there in shock over the death of JJ as the Mercenaries approach them with smiles on their faces. [/SIZE]


And there you have it. I'm not good at writing fight scenes so if you guys want to use this perhaps someone else could write the part where they fight with the Mercenaries?[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Looks good. You guys don't have it done yet, so I don't know if I can get music or the background/HTML in. If you get it in my noon today then [i]maybe[/i].

I would have liked at least a day, though.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[color=navy]Sorry but it's just not as simple as it sounds.

It's obvious that Mike and I didn't purposely not want to get this done on time or whatever. It was a fault on all of our parts because we took too long to make decisions before starting. And Mike and I both have outside lives.

I wish Mike would post what he's done so it can be editted and worked off.

Stephen, can/have you inserted the HTML stuff in the other sections? If you start with them then at least we'll have some of it.

Or post the code here so we can put it in as we're writing it.

I don't know, what time is it there for you anyway? Noon? It's 3 something here so...[/color]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Right now it's 1 in the morning. I [i]have[/i] started on the HTML but it's hard without the whole thing together.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Still we?ve got some good material here and I think we can pull it together from the standpoint of going from where I ended into the final battle since the first two parts lead up to my opening statement of how my character has had them coming to her house on a regular basis. We could put in the phrase...weeks later and move right into my last post.

And with that in mind I took a whack at writing the first fight with the Mercenaries.


[SIZE=1]Stephen: (in anger)
Goddamn you Sandy! Come back here!

Everything seems to freeze but other than the Mercenaries Sandy is already out of the reach of Stephen?s power. Mike in a lightening quick change of mood charges the Mercenaries taking advantage of their frozen state to deliver crippling blows. Forgetting that just moments ago he had planned on leaving everyone to go his own way.

Time begins to flow again and the Mercenaries are sent flying through the air to slam into the walls of Ms. Beth?s house. Tiana who is also angry frowns in concentration, a moment later the cabinets to Ms. Beth?s kitchen fly open and her dishes come flying from the cabinets aimed at the Mercenaries who are battered by the flying kitchenware as it hurls at them at unbelievable speeds.

A moment later it is over, the Mercenaries unconscious on the floor.

Ms. Beth: (walks over to JJ with tears in her eyes)
Oh my God! What have I done?

Mary: (confused)
What are you talking about?

Ms. Beth:
He was just a kid I should have done something.

Tiana: (she walks over and examines JJ?s Body)
He really is dead isn?t he?

Ms. Beth: (sinks to the floor)
Yes.
(she covers her face with her hands and begins to cry)

Mike:
Shit! (angry he punches a hole in the wall)
Uh, sorry about that Teach.

The students gather around Ms. Beth.

Stephen: (still angry)
Pull it together Ms. Beth!

The others look at him in shock.

Stephen: (shouting)
You didn?t do anything! It was that Goddamn Sandy?s fault!

Mike:
Yeah Teach, for once the nerd is right.

Stephen: (glaring at Mike)
Stop calling me a nerd!

Mike:
Don?t get excited, I?m just saying that for once I agree with you. Teach, it?s simple you were right we need to work together. (he looks away uncomfortably) If we hadn?t been so busy squabbling among ourselves JJ might still be alive.

Ms. Beth: (removes her hands from her face and looks at Mike in surprise)
What?

Mike:
I?m saying I was wrong Teach. And I?m saying we should take that bastard down.

The others nod in agreement. Mike reaches over and helps Ms. Beth stand back up.

Tiana: (in a sarcastic voice)
Wow, so you actually can be nice.

Mike: (growls)
Don?t read more into it than there is twit.

Mary and Tiana both stick their tongue out at Mike but say nothing in return. [/SIZE]

If you guys like that then we just need to work in some fights with the other teams as we head for the main place where Sandy is to take him down. ^_~

[B]EDIT:[/B] It's up everyone, great work! ^_~ Sorry the ending is so flat, I'm sure you can understand how hard it is to try and force something into a very tiny time frame. I wish we had more time, but at least we finished! [/COLOR] :catgirl:

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Oh my goodness!

I can't believe we won the challenge (technically we came second...but...)

Congrats to everyone!! Thanks heaps to Beth for picking up the slack where I left off because I couldn't think of anything else to write. Good job Stephen for getting all the HTML and music and stuffs. Loved the cover, Tiana. Mike, couldn't have done it without you.

Yay~. *happy and relieved*[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Now, I don't like to brag but both Beth [i]and[/i] I picked up the slack. During those last two hours where Mike gave up, KW was gone and Mary was silent, Beth and I spent a lot of time talking to each other through PMs. We finished it together (she did the final writing, though).

Either way it was a collaboration of everyone's effort that made the script so great. You guys rock and we are [b]still in the lead[/b]! :D [/FONT][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][QUOTE=Sakura][COLOR=Navy]Oh my goodness!

I can't believe we won the challenge (technically we came second...but...)[/COLOR][/QUOTE]I?m shocked as well. Because to be honest without the additional scenes to build up our characters, I thought we were going to end up losing. The parts I wrote weren?t truly fleshed out and were horrible rushed since my whole week was insane.

I kept having things come up that kept me from being able to work on the script. And the last part was me adding a bit of dialogue to some ideas I had written down but hadn?t had a chance to get to. I was literally working with White on that with the deadline for me only an hour away.

The only thing I?m sad about is that the music does not work for me. I get an error when I try to load it. >_<

Anyway, all in all, great work team! [/COLOR] :catgirl:

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

Sincere thanks you Beth and White for moving this along. I never expected that we would finish, let alone win the challenge. I feel bad for letting this not reach it's full potential, but it got the job done. Sorry I gave up so early, I just never thought we could finish it (aswell, I didn't know it was for a SHORT film, haha). [/color][/size]

[Riku]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Great job, everyone! ^o^

Actually, great job to you guys. I hardly did anything, which totally sucks because I felt least involved. School is almost over and my teachers have totally overloaded me with homework. Not to mention that my family is the kind that needs me every second if you know what I mean.

Anyway, at least I could help with the cover. I will definitely be more supportive to my team... I promise.

We won, yay! *high- fives everyone* Wow... this is our second win a row. We are definitely a team to be reckoned with.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[color=navy]So, the latest news from Sandy is that we need a volunteer.

Uhm, I don't know how you want to decide this. I'm kinda afraid of what it entails. But if no one else is willing to do it, I wouldn't mind checking out what this is about. So yeah, I'll put myself forward if it's needed. I still have a bit of time before Uni starts, depending on the length of the challenge I guess.

So, what does everyone else think? Anyone else want to do it? Beth? Opinions? Why am I always on when a challenge/notice is posted? *shrug*[/color]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][QUOTE=Sakura][color=navy] I'm kinda afraid of what it entails.

Why am I always on when a challenge/notice is posted? *shrug*[/color][/QUOTE]Same here. >_< I just know Sandy's up to something. I'm going to ask him about that as I'm assuming the Team Captain cannot be the volunteer.

As for why you are on? Because usually Sandy posts them during the middle of the night when I'm asleep or at the ungodly hour of 7:30am, a time when I usually am not awake at. Well other than today that is. ^_~
[/COLOR]

[Riku]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]It's because you're special, Mary. ;D

Anyway, if you don't really want to do it, then I suppose I will endure the torture. I haven't been there at all times for my team and if it comes to it, I'll take up and sacrifice myself for you guys.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Well it looks like any one of us can be the [strike]victim[/strike] volunteer. I haven't a clue as to what Sandy has in mind. I have all sorts of wild ideas running through my head as to what it might be.

So I guess the real question is what do you guys think? However you all decide, even if you think I should be the one. I'll stand by the majority when it comes to deciding who it will be. ^_^ [strike]though we could always offer White as the sacrificial lamb[/strike] :shifty:[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[quote name='SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue] [strike]though we could always offer White as the sacrificial lamb[/strike'] :shifty:[/COLOR][/quote]
[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]It's because I'm White isn't it?!

*cough*

Well, KW has gladly put herself out there so why not? KW I'm sure we all appreciate you doing this. Hopefully the volunteer thing is something positive, not negative. Unless someone else absolutely wants to be the volunteer.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Riku]

[quote name='White][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]It's because I'm White isn't it?![/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]
[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]*Gasp* Of course not, Stephen! It's because you're Black, duh. ;D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='White][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Well, KW has gladly put herself out there so why not? KW I'm sure we all appreciate you doing this.[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Yes, everyone, listen to Stephen and obey his every command. Let us do as the master says we should.

But anyway, really, I haven't been doing much of late and I want to feel involved in this team more, so... I will go ahead and do it unless someone else really wants to. I mean, it can't be that bad... I mean, Sandy's doing it! XD *gets shot*

And if all else fails, if it's horrible... I <3 you guys a lot.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][quote name='White][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]It's because I'm White isn't it?! [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]It's because we love you Stephen. :love:[QUOTE=Keyblade Wielder][COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]But anyway, really, I haven't been doing much of late and I want to feel involved in this team more, so... I will go ahead and do it unless someone else really wants to. I mean, it can't be that bad... I mean, Sandy's doing it! XD *gets shot*[/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote]I have no objection and if The Boss and Sakura are fine with it then it looks like you will be the [strike]victim[/strike] chosen one. ^_~[/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[color=navy]I don't mind if Tiana wants to take this one.

All the best for whatever the challenge entails.[/color]

[Riku]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]So, I guess it's settled.

I shall put on the sacrificial sheep costume on and go to the alter.

Holy crap, I'm excited and freaked out at the same time. What in the world will happen to me? :O[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

I nominate that dirty honky [b]White[/b] to be sacraficed before the almighty Sandy... I always hated that guy anyways.

But in all seriousness, I would love to volunteer. Unfortunately (well, actually very fortunately) I have my Tae Kwon Do black belt test coming next Thursday, so anytime I would be needed to participate in this would be cut due to the time I need to prepare. Aswell, I am currently typing up a term paper for Psychology 201, heh. So unless this volunteer is supposed to sit out this round, I don't think I would be a worthy candidate for the position.

I still think we should make the cracka do it, but if Tiana wants to save his milky-white a**, then I suppose we'll be fine. Good luck kiddo.[/color][/size]

[Sandy]

[font=Century Gothic]Remember that the person who ends up being your team's volunteer should send me a PM to confirm it, so that there's no misunderstandments. Thanks! ;D[/font]
