Welcome everyone!
How are you guys? Those two weeks passed quickly... I don't know when XD But all the time we keep going!
From the pending events:
- we are still waiting for VA from @Animetion24 to Delsin (we can't wait). How is going, buddy?,
- @Plasmarift is still apparently working hard on the narrative (I hope so).
I have a question. It seems to me that we should consider the narrative for Part II and Part III (about the previous parts of Reduce 3 at the beginning). Such general information, what happened, for example, in Reduce 3 - Part I. What do you think about it?
Thanks for helping @ChordC & @MariogD to plan & improve this scene.
What do you think about it, @Cyberdevil, @Animetion24, @ChordC, @MariogD, @SayMeBott?
Regards,
Mejson
Scene 9 - Sharp-shooters
Inscription (on black background):
Episode 9
Day 30
(at the same time)
7:33 AM
Action:
1. The scene starts at the top (on corner) of the cabinet from Scene 5. The anchor (arrow with the archer's rope - MariogD's stuff) is hooked on the cabinet. Camera on heroes. MariogD climbs the rope (it is practically at the top). Delsin looks at him. MariogD is at the edge, Delsin leans over and he holds out her hand to him and says (calmly): "Take my hand". MariogD looks at Delsin, who helps him climb. MariogD then stands up and says (still a bit annoyed - on squint one's eyes): "Thanks".
2. MariogD removes his bow from his body, then goes right without saying a word. Delsin watches him silently, then follows him. They walk for a moment in silence (silence). After a moment Delsin says: "Don't you think you were a bit harsh on Mejson?". MariogD replies without turning (indifferently): "I don't really know..." and after a while <sighs>, he calms down and adds: "I understand we're out of options... but Candy?". MariogD stops when he says this and turn head to Delsin.
3. Delsin replies (seriously): "Surely Mejson's got his reasons" and then adds: "He needs to grow up eventually, too". Delsin look to MariogD as he says it. MariogD looks down at the ground (ponders), then adds (a bit embittered): "But why now?". Then he continues (as if to himself), following Delsin (still staring at the ground): "This really isn't a good time for that...". Delsin turns (to MariogD), smiles artificially and says (rhetorically): "Think there'll be a better time?". MariogD looks at him uncertainly, says nothing. Delsin sees MariogD is not answering says: "You and Mejson are birds of a feather, speaking to yourselves like that". Delsin smirks. MariogD looks surprised.
4. Suddenly, Delsin stops (he squint one's eyes) and crouches at the same time (with his hand) give a sign to MariogD. MariogD also makes a serious face and also squat. MariogD whispers: "What do we have here". The camera moves to the left. In front of the heroes there is a cactus in a pot plant (also with a bit of spider webs). There are aphids in front of (and on) the plant pot. Three large and several small ones. Small aphids also sit on the edges of the pot plant (one on the left and one on the right).
5. The camera returns to the heroes. Delsin has his gun ready to shoot. He raises his gun (spear laucher) - he is about to shoot, and suddenly Mariogd whispers firmly: "Wait!". And then adds: "I have a better idea". Delsin lowers his gun, turns his head and asks (interested): "What?". MariogD smiles, hands Delsin a lighter and says: "Here, take this". Delsin turns his body to MariogD, takes the lighter and asks in surprise: "Where did you get this?". MariogD smiles more and replies: "Compliments of Mr. Mate". Delsin said nothing.
6. MariogD unclips (from the body) a small wooden jar and places it on the ground in front of him. He then takes a cork (also wooden) from a small wooden jar (MariogD has two wooden jars attached to the belt - one on the right and one on the left of the body). There is a flame carved on this jar. Then MariogD takes out a special arrow (this is not a standard arrow) and then (for a moment) put the tip of the arrow into the jar (sticky, slightly brown substance - honey-based). Delsin observes (curiously) this enterprise without saying a word.
7. MariogD look at Delsin, put an arrow towards him and says: "Set it alight". Without a word, Delsin ignites the arrow, the point of which ignites violently. MariogD put an arrow over the bow and draw a bow (held in the other hand). MariogD says (confident): "Watch and weep!". MariogD shoots and the camera follows the arrow. The arrow sticks between the aphids, and after a while another two arrows. All the aphids scared (from the fire) run away. Camera returns to the heroes. Both are already going to right. MariogD has already hidden his stuff.
8. MariogD, smug with himself, says the first: "Pretty cool, huh?". Delsin replies: "Yea, not bad". Next Delsin looks at him (squint one's eyes) and says: "Just don't burn us alive". MariogD grows serious and says: "I'm not a child!". Delsin's expression returns to normal, he says nothing more. Both are in front of the plant pot. Delsin runs up and takes out the arrows, puts them together on the ground (in the same direction), then he extinguishes them by treading his foot (he tramples using his foot).
9. While Delsin extinguish arrows, MariogD stops and looks up at the cactus, his face saddened. After a while he (MariogD) says in an absent voice: "Cactus spines...". Delsin turns around (to MariogD): "What?". MariogD looks in his direction, closes his eyes for a moment (looking down at the ground), then opens them (looking at Delsin) and says to Delsin: "They remind me of Jimmy". Delsin asks (interested): "Who's that?". MariogD <sighs> looking down at the ground then back at Delsin and says: "He was a great man". After a while he adds: "Too great...". Delsin nods slowly (he doesn't quite understand what MariogD meant). MariogD after a while says: "Nevermind, we need to carry on...". They both start to go right. Blackout.
10. A large digital clock appears on a black background, showing the time: 7:33 AM + <time elapsed in this scene>. Suddenly the time starts running fast (24 minutes) until it stops at: 7:57 AM. Then the clock disappears after a while. The black background fades (transparency) to showing the new area.
11. The heroes walk side by side (to the right) and talk. Delsin looks at lighter that he has in hand and then looks at MariogD and says (interested): "I'm not sold on Mr. Mate" and adds: "Kinda hard to trust a known assassin". Delisn retracts the lighter. MariogD looks at Delsin and says (calmly): "Around these parts, better to have a well-trained killer than not. Besides, he looks awesome!", then smirks (squint one's eyes) and says: "What's your beef with him?". Delsin doesn't reply, just raises an eyebrow. They both stare straight ahead for a moment. Then Delsin looks back at MariogD and asks: "You and Bott* have history?". MariogD looks at Delsin and replies: "We used to work together. He's decent, but fucked up in the head sometimes". Delsin smiles and says: "Yea, I've noticed". After a while, he adds: "What's the shovel obsession about?".
12. MariogD smiles and replies: "You don't want to know". Delsin blinks twice (a bit surprised by the answer), then looks ahead and squint one's eyes and says (firmly): "Hey, follow me, quick!". They both run fast to the right and up (diagonally). MariogD right behind Delsin. Both are hiding behind a glass bottle (spray with a dark substance - it is slightly transparent, there is a plastic tube inside). The heroes disappear behind this object. The camera that has followed the heroes so far - zoom out (some) and go to right. There's a fire ant standing there, which was the front to the heroes, but is interested in the stain on the floor, so it didn't react from such a distance.
13. The camera move (also zoom in) to the right glass bottle's side. Behind it heroes are show up (a little) - MariogD lower, and Delsin higher. Delsin speaks the first confident (whisper): "We can take care of this easily enough...". MariogD smiles and says (whisper): "I have a better idea". MariogD disappears behind the bottle. Delsin looks (left) after him, <sighs>, asks (in a whisper): "What do you mean?". Delsin also disappears behind the bottle. After a while, the bottle turns slightly transparent (50%). Delsin runs to the crouched MariogD (left edge of the bottle).
14. MariogD holds a bait arrow in one hand, and a jar in the other, with its contents pouring over the arrow. MariogD has squeezed lids and eyes (as if he was holding his breath). After that, MariogD quickly puts the jar on the ground (it has a picture of a dead fish with an odor) and closes it. Then he shoots (also quickly). There is a visible greenish smoke (rot) from both - the jar and the arrow. When MariogD was pouring it (substance) on the arrow, Delsin covers his face and says (disgusted & shudder): "UGHH, What is that smell?!". MariogD did not react (he was busy).
15. The camera moves (also a little zoom out) left and down (diagonally). It shows an arrow stuck in the ground (you can see this stink - greenish smoke). After a while, the camera moves a little to the right, a running fire ant appears (the camera follows her). The ant stops right next to the bait and examines it with its antennae. In the meantime, the heroes disappear (they watched this for a while).
16. The camera moves to the right (also a little zoom in) - to the right edge of the bottle. After a while, MariogD's head peeks out from behind her (he checks if it's safe). MariogD then goes right, followed by Delsin (he has a slightly resigned expression) at a greater distance. MariogD (without turning around) says (confident & smug): "See that? Not a single drop of blood shed". Delsin says (indifferently): "Sure..." and then adds (maliciously): "Just your excuse to show off".
17. MariogD stops (Delsin too) and turns (whole body) and says (confident): "It is only when mosquito land on your balls that you realize there is a way to solve problems without using violence". Delsin makes a shoked face for a second, then <laughs> for a moment, and MariogD smiles. Delsin (as he finished laughing) replies (amused): "Funny". Suddenly, a fire ant jumps off the bottle and lands on MariogD (he presses him with his front leg to the ground). Camera zoom in half of the ant and MariogD. MariogD only managed to: <groan>, and after a while he screams in a desperate voice: "Help me!...". The MariogD bow fell next to him, and he grabbed (with both hands) the ant's leg (he tries to free himself). The ant tilts its head (moves its antennae) towards MariogD.
18. Delsin runs between the ant's legs, skids on its knee, and shoots at the ant head (when he's slide under ant's head). While still sliding, he turns. Next grabs MariogD by the shoulders, then stands up and pulls MariogD (Delsin takes a few quick steps back) before ant's body was falling down to ground. Delsin helps MariogD get up. MariogD then leans back a little, puts his hands on his hips, and <breathing heavily> for a while and says (scary): "God, that was too close!". MariogD calms down, turns around and says to Delsin: "Thanks, man...". Delsin watches MariogD calmly in silence, then says (firmly, but not maliciously): "Let that be a lesson: No solution is one and done. We must always remain vigilant". MariogD (a bit embarrassed) nods. Blackout.
19. A large digital clock appears on a black background, showing the time: 7:57 AM + <time elapsed in this scene>. Suddenly the time starts running fast (31 minutes) until it stops at: 8:28 AM. Then the clock disappears after a while. The black background fades (transparency) to showing the new area.
20. Delsin goes ahead (first), followed by MariogD. MariogD is somewhat depressed (he has a disheartened expression on his face). Suddenly Delsin stops and turns his head and asks (interested): "You alright, buddy?". MariogD stops, touches his chest (leaning slightly forward) and replies (gloomily & with pain): "No, my chest hurts". Delisn replies (reassuringly): "Don't worry, we'll take care of that once we get there". Then he pulls out a map and after a while he says: "Come on, just a little further". Then Delsin hides the map and they walk in silence.
21. MariogD looks at the ground as he walks (looks tired). Suddenly Delsin stops. He smiles and then he looks up and his expression changes to horror - he is stunned. MariogD bounces off his back (he doesn't notice Delsin stopping) and says, exasperated: "Hey!". The blow shudders Delsin and sobers. Delsin whispers: "Be quiet...". Then he starts running bent over, and whispers: "Follow me". MariogD does the same and asks (intrigued): "What's going on?". Delsin doesn't answer (he has a serious expression).
22. Camera going to right (also zoom out a little) on plant pot with spider web (Aloe). On the plant (cobwebs) sits a spider (much larger than the one that killed Diablo) in a brown-maroon color (previously spider was black). There is a large cobweb (its visible fragment) between the object and the plant pot. The camera returns to the heroes (also zoom in a little). They are hidden (their heads stick out a little from object - as before) behind a plastic white bottle (plant growth chemicals). MariogD is shocked, says (in a whisper): "What a beast!".
23. MariogD then looks at Delsin and whispers (a bit reproachfully): "Why didn't you tell me?". Delsin looks at him calmly and says (whisper): "With your chest weak, I didn't want this to scare your heart out of the cavity". MariogD raises an eyebrow in react (squint one's eyes a little), but says nothing. Then they both look at the spider again. After a moment, Delsin asks: "Got any other tricks up your sleeve?". MariogD looks at him (a bit surprised) and replies: "Really?". And then adds: "I thought you didn't like my ideas...". Delsin looks at him and whispers (softly): "Why's that?". Then adds: "I'll be frank, they're pretty cool". He smiles at MariogD. MariogD says (whispering): "I knew it!". MariogD smiles.
24. Delsin breaks this happy moment (curious): "So?". Then adds: "No time like the present to show your genius". MariogD without looking at Delsin smiles (to himself) madly (psychopathic expression) for a moment and says: "I have something tasty for this occasion". As he says this, he detaches the small wooden jar from own neck and sets it on the ground. This time there is a skull symbol carved on the small jar. MariogD takes an arrow from a quiver and then dips it in a purple substance (poison).
25. Delsin watched him with interested, then asks (interested): "Brilliant idea". And then adds: "Don't mind if I do". MariogD gives him the jar up (Delsin stands over him) saying (in a whisper): "Sure, feel free". Delsin picks up the jar, and then pours out (a little) its contents over the tip the spear ammo (located in his gun). During this activity, MariogD whispers: "Careful now, this is extremely poisonous". Without a word, Delsin plugs the jar with cork and then returns this jar to MariogD.
26. MariogD hangs the jar on own neck. Both are getting ready to shoot (aiming, etc.). MariogD glances at Delsin and whispers (focused): "Ready?". Without taking his eyes off the target, Delsin whispers: "Standby". MariogD says: "On my mark... 3... 2... 1... Fire!" The missile and the arrow fly to the target (to the right) and the camera follows (shows this flight).
27. Both it hit to the spider's body. The beast shudders and emits a dark groan. Then it jumps from the plant (Aloe) to the ground (probably looking for the victim). The spider make a cloud of dust when land on the ground. The dust has barely descended (disappeared), and suddenly the spider starts convulsing (shaking and moving its front legs), making many dark groans at the same time. Then the spider slide down to graund without life. The camera returns (also zoom in a little) to the heroes.
28. They both have surprised expressions (faces). MariogD is the first to speak: "Wow... The poison's a lot more potent than I thought". Delsin, without taking his eyes off the spider, says: "Agreed". After a while, Delsin looks at Aloe, and points with his hand (to the right and up) and says (calmly): "Can you help me with this?". MariogD also looks in that direction and says (also calmly): "Sure". Blackout.
