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?!
-- Short Aftermath --
Zig, Beht and Gorrik, constrain Neal. Rallen and Jeena confront them.
JEENA: You guys better let go of Neal right now!
RALLEN: If you dare hurt him, you'll all be sorry!
ZIG: Hey now, you better watch it, punks! You ain't even got the full story.
JEENA: Huh?
BEHT: This skinny bozo stole Gorrik's diary.
GORRIK: I'm totally upset! Down in the dumps! I didn't know this explorer guy could be so mean and heartless!
JEENA: Clearly this is all a misunderstanding. Neal wouldn't go as low as petty theft.
ZIG: Uhuh, sure. Ya know well about nothin' about this fool.NEAL: N-No, she's right! If you want, I'll give it back if you just let me grab it from my backpack...
BEHT: Whatever ya say, explorer!
Beht chucks Neal his backpack, and Neal takes out the diary, handing it to Gorrik.
GORRIK: Oh! That was easy.
Zig, Beht and Gorrik let Neal go.
ZIG: (Retorting) Ain't that kinda disappointing...
