Drama ScriptSince there is no writing section, I will ad this here.
Here is a drama script I had to write 100% alone, when there were 4 other people in my group. This really ticked me off, because nobody else wrote any of it, and we're all getting marked on it. I almost killed somebody today.
The story is, a king got some gifts for his birthday, including a magic mirror that let him see the fall of the kingdom or the kings death. One day, the king enters the tower guarded by two elite soldiers, and finds it gone. The soldiers are fine, and were there the whole time. We had to write a script to get the mirror back, and figure out how it was stolen, in the character's perspective speaking to the king.
Characters:
Luna- Fairy of the moon
Dominique- The one armed mercinary hero
Pip- The girl sidekick pretending to be a boy
Taim- The evil wizard
Goblins- Stupid creatures living in the dragon cordillera
Lashalle- The queen from the other kingdom
| Quote: | Chaos in the Kingdom
Luna: (Narrating) Our heroes set off, accompanied by the knowledge that they should seek out I, the fairy of the moon who lived deep inside the Mirage Forest, to tell them where they could find the magic mirror, and the one who stole it. The king had told them that I would only show myself to a journeyman that prove himself worthy, and that I may not show myself, but not to fret over it, as the object would eventually fall back into his hands, whether by the doing of the one who stole it, or by his knights. But he also warned them not to stray from the mirage river, for the fores holds many deadly things, many of which could tear them limb from limb before they knew what was going on, so they agreed to stay near the river. They walked for days through the forest, without even knowing I was following them. But although luck was on their side at the beginning of their quest, it seemed to have taken a change of sides.
Dominique: (Sighs) We have been walking like this for days, without the river thinning, or catching any sight of the mountains. The fairy also has not shown itself.
Pip: (exhausted) Can’t we take a rest? I am sooo tired! Can we PLEEEAAAASEEE stop?
Dominique: (annoyed) No. You know what the king said. If we stop, some creature might pick us off. It’s dangerous.
Pip: (Sulks, emphasizes fine) Fine.
Dominique: (Pip crosses her arms and walks ahead) Pip! Wai- Wow! Pip, I think we’ve found our fairy!
Pip: (Looks over, sees something glowing whizz past) Let’s go follow it!
Dominique: (Cautiously) I don’t know Pip, the king said not to stray from the river...
Pip: (Enthusiastically) Oh you worry too much. We are not going to get lost. We’ll just stay within view of the river, that’s all.
Dominique: (unsure) Ok... I guess.
Luna: (Narrating) So they branch off from the river, and follow me. For two hours, they follow my trail of dust, but slowly, I get ahead of them.
Dominique: (Scared) I think we’re lost...
Pip:(sure sounding) Nonsense. The river is right- Uh-oh, we’re lost.
Dominique: Wait, do you hear that?
Pip: (Hears faint growling in the background) Yes, I thinks it’s a dog...
Luna: (Luna flies on from usl, followed by a fox, and hides behind Dominique. High pitched voice) Help me! This dreadful fox is attacking me, and I’m almost out of pixie dust to fly!
Dominique: (Yells) I will help you! (Dominique draws his sword, runs at the fox, and slashes it down)
Luna: (Sighs) Thank you, I am forever in your debt. But to pay a little of it off, I will grant you the gift of knowledge. Ask me any question, and I will tell you the answer.
Pip: (Smiling) Thank you very much, kind fairy. Do you happen to be the fairy of the moon, Luna?
Luna: (Happily nods) Why yes, you know who I am?
Dominique: (Surprised) Why of course we know who you are! You are famous among our people! Everybody knows how thousands of years ago you saved our kingdom from the evil demon!
Luna: Yes, um, well, back to the question. What would you like to know?
Pip: We were wondering if you could tell us who stole the king’s magic mirror and where we can find him.
Luna: (Taps her chest) Ah! You insult me! That is an easy question to answer (Even though it is two)! The evil wizard of the city of Tamark, Zelu Taim has it! He is going to use it to kill your king and take over the kingdom with it. If you don’t hurry, he will succeed. You must go now if you wish to save the kingdom!
Dominique: (Quickly hurries towards usr) Come on Pip!
Luna: (under her breath) Humans are so stupid. Not that way! Follow the signs that say “This way back to river!”
Pip: Oh, ok, thank you! (Heads off dsl)
Dominique: (Narrating) After two more days of hiking, we began to see mountains loom out of the trees. They were like nothing I had ever seen, all pointy and stuff, covered with white solid stuff that looked like cottage cheese.
Pip: (In a girl’s voice) Wow... They really are beautiful! (In a boy’s voice) I mean, they are ugly, all rugged and stuff like my home town.
Dominique: Pip, are you feeling ok, you’re acting strange.
Pip: No, I’m ok.
Dominique: Good.
Dominique: (Narrating) As we neared the mountains, they just continued to grow. Finally, afte a day and a half more, we reached the foot of the mountain.
Pip: (Pulls out map) It says here that this is the dragon cordillera, I can see fang valley over there... There should be a cave around here. Let’s look for it.
Dominique: (Narrating) For half an hour we searched, and we finally found a cave marked with a sign saying “Death Cave,” and headed in.
Pip: (Narrating) It took us three hours, and our torches were running low, when we finally saw the dim glow from the exit. We began to run towards it, oblivious to the consequences, when we suddenly heard a heart pounding crash.
Dominique: What was that?
Pip: (In shock) I have no idea. Let’s go check it out.
Pip: (Narrating) As we headed towards the exit, to check out what was wrong, we suddenly heard a hair-raising cackle. We looked to the left, and found three slim shadows.
Goblin 1 (Leader): (Steps forwards, rough, dry voice) Ha ha, what do we have here?
Goblin 2 (Stupid Sidekick): (Cheap accent) It looks like a bunch of humans boss!
Goblin 1: (Smacks 2 across the face) Shut up!
Goblin 3 (Really, Really Stupid Sidekick): (Barely understandable) Aduh- Food!!
Dominique: (Whispers) Uh-oh, goblins. About the stupidest creatures alive, but they will kill you for the buttons on your coat.
Pip: (turns, coins in pocket jingle) They’re the-
Goblin 1: MONEY!
Dominique: (Goblin un-gracefully leaps towards Pip, Dominique jumps in front and draws his sword) Stop!
Goblin 1: (Raises his club, ready to strike, Dominique deflects it) NO!
Dominique: (Stabs 1 in the heart, spins around and slashes 2 down as he runs, 3 somehow appears behind him, and bites him on the arm, Pip stabs him in the back with her dagger, he drops) Thanks, that was a close one.
Pip: (casually) Any time. Now, lets find a way out of here.
Dominique: (Points to sr) Look at that opening, that must have been where they came from.
Dominique: (Narrating) We entered the tight hole single file, as the tunnel was too skinny for us to both fit. We headed to the end of the tunnel, where we found a large intricate door, barred from the outside.
Pip: (Laughs) Stupid goblins, they barred it from the side people would be getting in from.
Dominique: Yeah, I know, goblins are such idiots. Help me with the door.
Pip: (Narrator) So I helped Dominique lift the super light metal bar that we thought to be aluminum, and entered and awe gripping room. The walls were covered from top to bottom with beautiful jewelry; the floors were covered with chests, and the tiled ground was riddled with an assortment of items ranging from crowns to swords. What caught our eyes, however, was a white glowing chest that cast shadows across the room.
Dominique: (in awe) Do you see that? (Runs over and opens the chest) What is this? (Pulls out holy hand grenade) It’s amazing! Wait, what does this say? (Bends down and reads chest, in a reading voice) “Holy hand grenade. Pull pin and throw to blow away unholy things and bsk the world in a heavenly glow.”
Pip: Let’s go try it on the cave-in!
Pip: (narrating) So we left the room with some regrets, and returned to the exit. Dominique pulled the glowing grenade out of his pocket. He twisted his finger around the pin shaped like a snake, and pulled. He then threw his arm back, covered his eyes, and whipped the grenade at the rock.
(There is a huge flash of light, and the cave shakes, but there is no sound.
Pip: Did it go?
Dominique: It looks like it. Yup! Let’s go!
Pip: To the castle!
Taim: I watched them advance through my crystal ball for three days before they reached the castle. I went to get lunch once they neared the moat, as I had not eaten since they exited the cave, and I doubted they would find a way in. So I grabbed some soup, and returned to my room on the top of the tower. I finished eating, and glanced at the ball. My mouth dropped open. The two heroes were nearly at the top of the wall! So I jumped out of the tower window, supporting myself with compressed air, and screaming for the guards to go to the west wall as quick as they could.
Dominique: (Whispering) Stop. Grab on to me, and don’t ask any questions. We are almost at the top of the wall.
Pip: (whispering) Ok. (Pip grabs on to Dominique’s back, and Dominique grabs on to the wall, the ropes they were climbing suddenly fall into the moat)
Guard 1: (at the top of the wall) We got ‘em!
Dominique: (Whispers) Grab on to the wall, and don’t let go. I’m going over.
Pip: Ok
(Dominique draws his sword, and jumps over the wall. He kills the two guards currently there.
Dominique: (To pip) It’s ok! Come on over, I got ‘em!
Pip: (Jumps over the wall) Let’s go find the queen and Taim!
Dominique: (Narrating) So we ran through the halls of the castle, finally coming upon the throne room, with the queen upon her golden throne.
Dominique: (Angry, to the queen) Lashalle! Tell us where Taim is, and we may let you live!
Lashalle: (Robotic) I do not know where the great wizard is. You must find him.
(Pip and Dominique look at each other, dumbfounded)
Taim: (Confident) Do not worry, for I am here. The queen will not help you with what you are looking for. Yes, I have the mirror, but what are you going to do about it? I put this pitiful creature under a spell, she can do nothing. I WILL destroy your kingdom. The mirror has revealed to me how.
Pip: B-But how did you get the mirror? It was protected by a tower and two men! They saw nobody go in!
Taim: Well that was easy. I teleported myself there using my magic. You really are dumb, aren’t you?
Dominique: (Very angry) You have insulted us enough! It’s time for you to die!
Pip: (Narrating) It seemed like my legs were made of lead. I could not do anything but stand and watch. I saw Dominique get nicked with the staff, and burned on the arm by a ball of fire before Dominique finally took down Taim. He searched taim, and found the mirror in his pocket.
Dominique: (begins to walk over to Pip, looks into the mirror, and sees himself dying.) EEEEP!
Pip: (loudly) Duck!
(Dominique jumps to the ground, and pip hits Taim square in the head with an arrow while he attempts to sneak up on Dominique. Pip runs over)
Pip: (concerned) Are you ok? That was a mighty fall.
(Pip bends down to help up Dominique, her hair falls out of her hat)
Dominique: You-You’re a girl!?
Pip: (slowly) Well...
Dominique: Why didn’t you tell me this before!?
Pip: (Head down, talking quietly) I didn’t think you would like the idea of me being a girl and helping you...
Dominique: (Quietly) She’s beautiful...
Pip: What?
Dominique: (quickly) Nothing!
Pip: Ok, well you don’t mind though, right?
Dominique: Mind? Of course not!
Pip: Good. But before I hit him with the arrow, why did you yelp?
Dominique: (confused, head tilted slightly) Well, I saw my death.
Pip: But I thought it only showed the death of the king or the kingdom...
Dominique: Me too, but-
(Lashalle comes up behind them)
Lashalle: Your death would have been the death of the kingdom. Dominique and pip whip around)
Pip: (surprised) We thought you were under a spell!
Lashalle: (air of power) I was, but when Taim was killed, the spell was broken.
Dominique: But I still don’t understand why if I were killed the kingdom would fall...
Lashalle: If you died, there would be no other hope for your kingdom, it would be taken over by Taim.
Dominique: I get it now.
Lashalle: Thank you very much for freeing me of this dreadful spell, feel free to stay as long as you wish; you are welcomed back any time. But I also have a quest for you if you wish to accept it... Would you stay for dinner? I will tell the cooks to cook a feast in your names. So?
Dominique: (unsure) I’m not sure...
Pip: We’d love to, but we would have to return this to the king in the morning.
(Everyone exits off sl)
Lashalle: So they stayed for dinner that night. The next morning, I decided to acompany them back to the kingdom and present you with this gift of gold for sending those twop amazing heroes to my kingdom. Thank you very much, and you and your people are always welcom in our kingdom. My scribe here shall write this down for people to read in the future. Thank you once again, and good afternoon.

Very nice."slow claps"
Lol,here is what I did when people in my group didn't work at all in the bridge project:
I was getting a D+ in science class and we had to picks 3 partners to make a well designed bridge that could hold a lot of weight.I thought it was kind of douchlike so I wasn't all gung-ho for it.But then I realized during the rest of the week all they were doing was talking about nerdy !@#%.SO seeing as how they were nerds,NO ONE would believe they didn't help.I worked so very hard on the bridge and gave them many chances to help.When they wouldn't,in the middle of their nerd gossip SLAM
They all turned around EXTREMELY fast and freaked out.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?"
"Crushed the bridge :D"
And I turned it in just like that.Got a 0% grade.
-But don't do that.You will screw yourself.
[sorry to steal your thunder ;)]
But again VERY good job on the story.Nice plot and such.
