《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》1.2 - College
Advertisement
[It opens two months later with a shot of a framed photograph that contains Tracey with Sissel, who has long hair and wears glasses along with a red hoodie, both at the beach. The shot passes over the top of a guitar and moves over towards the alarm which reads 11:11. A hand places on it and switches it off. The camera pans out to show a woman in about her mid-30’s wearing a black hoodie and jeans with a black ponytail. She has her phone to her side. She’s looking at a bed currently with Sissel laying on it and not moving, facing away from her. She sighs.]
Velma: [sad] You’re gonna be late again.
[He doesn’t say anything or move.]
Velma: [sad] I’ve called College for you. I told them you’ll be there for your catch up so… we have time to talk.
[There is more silence. She groans and starts to leave.]
Velma: Just… just be out of bed soon. Please.
[Velma closes the door and the room remains quiet for a few seconds. It moves to outside where Velma texts someone on her phone labeled “Olivia C”. The text being typed out is shown behind her.]
Velma: [text only] He’ll be there soon, keep an I for me
[She sends the text and pockets the phone. Through an overhead shot, it shows the message get carried across the town and into a college. The message travels along the corridors and eventually stops in a corridor. Camera focuses on two specific people firstly a ginger girl wearing a black t-shirt and a short brown haired boy wearing a white button shirt and a black jumper. They’re both walking down the corridor, but a phone vibration is heard. The girl takes the phone out and sees the message.]

Olivia: [text only] Okay, thank you.
[She pockets her phone, Vince turning and looking at her.]
Vince: What is it?
Olivia: Sissel’s mum. He’ll be in later.
Vince: [relieved] Oh, that’s good… that’s good.
[Vince looks down at the floor as they walk to a lift, Liv pressing a button.]
Liv: You okay, Vince?
[Vince looks at Liv, thinking.]
Vince: [hesitantly] I dunno… it’s just that we’ve all been talking and… we don’t think we should bring him back into the group.
[The doors open and Vince enters, Liv look offended.]
Liv: [surprised] What?
[Cuts to downstairs, the two leaving the lift and walking through a group of people.]
Vince: [loud] I’m not saying that I agree with them, I just… I see where they’re coming from!
Liv: [loud, offended] We are not kicking him out of the Mad Tea Party!
Vince: [loud] Come on, Liv, you can’t be like that!
Liv: [loud, offended] What do you mean? Come on, he’s your cousin, you should stand up for him!
[Vince turns in the corridor to face Liv, visually upset. Behind them, there’s an African man who notices the two and begins walking over. He’s wearing a white shirt and black jeans, while texting on his phone.]
Vince: [loud, offended] That’s why I don’t get rid of him! I’m just saying that it make sense!
Liv: [loud, offended] His girlfriend is dead, we can’t just abandon him! Especially not you!
Vince: [loud, offended] He’s my cousin, I am not abandoning him!
[The African man arrives, not noticed by either.]
Gary: [confused] Who are we abandoning?
[Vince and Liv jump, moving slightly back. Once they realise who it is, they calm down.]
Vince: [calmer] Hey Gary.
Liv: [annoyed] Why are we abandoning Sissel?
[Gary has a sharp inhale, turning to Vince.]

Gary: [quietly] She found out then.
Liv: [angry] What, you were gonna keep this from me?!
Vince: I’m just gonna…
[Vince started moving back down the corridors, Liv chasing after him. Gary sighed and walked off behind the two. It then cut into a classroom, lined with chairs and with a projector at the end. A male and female are sat in the room. The male is wearing a beige button up shirt and ripped jeans with scruffy black hair. The girl is wearing a blue shirt with a jacket over it, having long blonde hair. There is a slight commotion outside before Gary enters, quickly followed by Liv and Vince.]
Gary: Hey, so Liv knows.
Chelsea: Crap.
Leigh: [sarcastic] Yay.
[Chelsea and Leigh stand up.]
Liv: [angry] Both of you, we are not doing this. Are we clear on that?
[Liv turns, facing Vince and Gary. As she talks, she looks between them.]
Liv: [angry] Especially not now! Okay, we have… we have just started college and he’s going to be alone and still mourning so we can just abandon him after all of this! Okay?
Leigh: [calmly] With all due respect-
Liv: [angry] No, shut up! You don’t… this was your idea, wasn’t it?
Chelsea: Liv, calm down.
Leigh: [calmly, slightly louder] With all due respect-
Liv: [angry] Leigh, how do you think Sissel is going to react to you kicking him out?
Leigh: [angry] You don’t have a place to say!
[The others in the background look at each other, Liv and Leigh staring at each other.]
Vince: [concerned] Um… Chelsea, how about we give them some space?
Chelsea: [concerned] Yeah, good idea…
[Chelsea quickly moves around and the three leave, Gary being pulled out by Chelsea after staying. Liv and Leigh are alone in the room.]
Liv: [annoyed] What do you mean “I don’t have a place to say”?
Leigh: [annoyed] Because it was your mess in the first place to do all this. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t be in this shit, would we?
Liv: [annoyed] What, so… so now it’s my fault? I’m just meant to take the blame.
Leigh: [calming down] You just... look, none of us want to do this but Vince’s cousin has never been comfortable here, he’s told you that. If he stays around, it’ll just remind him of Tracey.
[Leigh raises one finger.]
Leigh: So one day. That’s all, then he can find his own place with people he deserves and not who he’s uncomfortable around.
[Leigh lowers his finger, heading out of the room.]
Leigh: The Mad Tea Party’s last hurrah, send off for Sissel and Tracey! Got it?
[Liv sighs, then nods. Leigh opens the door.]
Leigh: Good, then I’ll see you after hours.
[Leigh leaves, the door thudding behind him. Liv is visibly upset and annoyed as he leaves.]

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
