Dyrus and his pathetic search for real connections - OPENING SCENE
DYRUS'S OFFICE - DAY
Dyrus sits in his office, sipping a glass of wine. Jeena flings printed photos onto the desk -- photos that she and Rallen took of themselves in front of a solid gold statue of Dyrus. Rallen slams his hand on the surface.
RALLEN: There, HAPPY?! We made up for that stupid gold statue of yours.
DYRUS: Well, well, well. Looks like you two really get the job done like it's nothing, do you?
DYRUS: Tell me, why don't I see any reason stopping you from joining the company?
RALLEN: Uh, isn't it the fact that we clearly don't like you and that we already have full-time jobs?
DYRUS: Hmph! I already said your jobs don't even pay you enough. Your rates don't even compare to what you would have if you'd only just work for me.
JEENA: *Sigh* Again with all this? We don't care about the money. We, for one, actually like our jobs.
DYRUS: HA! Like your jobs? Doesn't working alongside those pathetic do-gooders and those dirty officers bother you? Victims of cowardice, or bribery and pride?
RALLEN: As if you're any better!
Dyrus lets out a mocking laugh. Rallen and Jeena stare awkwardly.
DYRUS: In all seriousness, how much would it take for me to really sway you into working for me instead? The offer still stands.
JEENA: Ugh! I'm done! How about instead of offering money to everyone you meet, you actually make yourself worth their time?
Jeena leaves the room.
DYRUS: ...
DYRUS: So, the girl's saying I should form connections, eh?
RALLEN: Not BUSINESS connections, she means REAL connections like friendship.
DYRUS: I knew what you meant the first time. And frankly, I don't care.
RALLEN: WOW! You know what? By the end of the week, you'll be going back to your stupid luxury mansion, having made zero friends, and then you'll die alone!
DYRUS: Hmph! We'll see about that, you dweeb!
From outside, Jeena's voice...
JEENA: Rallen! Quit wasting your time, let's get out of here!
RALLEN: Yes ma'am!
Rallen runs out of the room.
From outside...
RALLEN: That guy is such a handful...
JEENA: Tell me about it. He's worse than his less-evil twin Cyrus. Wait, they're related, right?
RALLEN: Boy, I can't wait to get back to Kollin. What do you wanna do when we get back?
Eventually, their conversation trails off into nothing the further they go, swallowed by the noisy ambience of the work camp outside. Dyrus sits alone.
After some hours of doing nothing, Dyrus decides that he's bored and wants to go somewhere. Where does he go?
Probably one of Gorrik's limitations in getting the job done
I just had the thought that Gorrik isn't too keen on doing really hurtful things unless he's really convinced that he should, or unless he doesn't reach his full potential. However, if he's drunk enough, then he wouldn't have second thoughts -- kind of like that one fight scene in Naruto with Rock Lee.

COMIC SCRIPT: The only girl for millions of miles
NOTES:
- Inspired by this one scene here: https://youtu.be/pNmugxejn_U?t=892
- Also, because this is a script intended for a comic, you'll notice some weird things in there such as mentions of thought clouds
- Also, I just wanted to include my designs for the girls from Menahat in a comic so yeah
EXT - GREAT DESERT - DAY
Sitting on the sand, Rallen and Jeena are taking a break from walking around the desert. Rallen sips a bottle of water and Jeena watches Komainu dig in the sand. Jeena looks a little blue.
Close by, Neal runs back with a strange notebook. Zig, Beht and Gorrik stalk him from not too far away.
NEAL: Rallen! Jeena! You gotta check out what I just found! It could be an ancient artefact!
RALLEN: Whoa!
Rallen checks out the notebook in Neal's hands. Jeena remains seated.
JEENA: Oh y-yeah, that's pretty interesting...!
NEAL: Right?!
Rallen looks back at Jeena.
RALLEN: ... Hold on, Neal. Wait a sec.
NEAL: Okay! I'll be right here, then!
Rallen jogs up to Jeena and sits down with her.
RALLEN: Hey Jeena, you seem a bit down... (In his thoughts,) Which is incredibly unusual. (Aloud,) What's up?
JEENA: *Sigh* You wouldn't get it.
RALLEN: C'mon, we're partners -- best friends. You can tell me anything.
JEENA: Okay, well... It's just that, especially since leaving Doldogo, I've been feeling - I dunno - a little lonely.
RALLEN: Lonely?
JEENA: Yeah. I know it doesn't really matter, but... It's kinda weird knowing I've been probably the only girl around for millions of miles. Since then, I've just been reminded of how much I miss some of our friends back at Kollin.
RALLEN: Ohhh... I see.
NEAL: (Offscreen) WAAAHH!!!
RALLEN: (To Jeena) Hmm, how about once this Menahat stuff is all over, we can head back to Doldogo? We can totally catch up with Salia again, y'know?
JEENA: I suppose... But it's just... Don't get weird about this, okay? But... *Sigh* I kinda wish you guys were girls.
RALLEN: Oh what?
An imagination cloud, delving into Rallen's mind. He imagines himself and Neal as if they were women, hanging out with Jeena in the desert.
RALLEN: Hm... That's an interesting thought.
A foreign imagination cloud intrudes Rallen's. From that cloud, three shady-looking women - versions of Zig, Beht, and Gorrik - attempt to kidnap Neal. A female version of Dyrus villainously laughs at their success.
GORRIK: Yeah, that IS interesting!
The imagination clouds disappear. Zig, Beht and Gorrik, currently constrain Neal in attempts to kidnap him.
ZIG: I think they heard ya, you moron!
Ralland and Jeena look at Neal, Zig, Beht and Gorrik.BEHT: (To Zig) Sheesh, you guys should at least whisper!
ZIG: If yer gonna tell me that, you do it too, goddammit!
Rallen face-palms.
RALLEN: Yeah, why am I not surprised?!

What
I think these guys are basically "we have Team Rocket at home" mixed with "we have TF2 at home"
More WIP stuff
And some things I like that won't be fully shown in the final version xd Yeah, a good chunk of these poses are blocked by the fence, which I'm slightly saddened by, so I may as well share them here xD
RIP Gorrik's mouth xD |
Looking at the video WIP, I'm surprisingly not that weirded out to see Zig with Jessie's voice. |
Looking at the eldest for the answers (I think it's funny how kind of perplexed Beht looks, despite his entire face being hidden). |
Yeah, a lot of his think-I'm-cool-know-it-all expression is missed out on. I specifically referenced one of his gestures in the game, too. |
