《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.3 - Rumours
Advertisement
[Sissel arrives at his classroom, the one that Goldberg had been teaching in, Tracey patting him on the back.]
Tracey: I’ll leave you to it, okay?
Sissel: Are you sure?
Tracey: Yeah, I’ll just go for a walk!
[Tracey smiles, patting him on the back and walking off. Sissel nods and enters the classroom. Inside the room, the window has been boarded up with the blinds closed. The room only has five other people there, three other students, Vincent wearing a green hoodie with an orange shirt, and a teacher. Vince sees Sissel enter and gestures him over. Sissel moves over and sits down at a computer next to Vince.]
Vince: Hey man, how you doing?
Sissel: Long story. Can I talk to you later?
Vince: Well we’ll be stuck together for a few hours, so sure.
[Sissel scoffs, smiling.]
Vince: [happy] Well that took long enough.
[Vince patted Sissel’s arm, getting back to work. Sissel brushes off his arm and logs into his computer. The teacher turns around, seeing the classroom. The teacher has a brown beard and short brown hair, wearing glasses and a white tie. He’s written on the whiteboard “Week 3”. He sighs.]
Hyde: Not many people here today then.
[One student pipes up, wearing a white button up shirt and a tie.]
Student 1: Most people haven’t been in after that lightning storm.
[Sissel and Vince look at each other, concerned.]
Hyde: Oh, okay then. Well… we still have to teach, at the end of the day. When they’re back then we’ll deal with them, catch up.
[Hyde turns back to the whiteboard, starting to write notes onto it. Vince leans over next to him to a different student. They’re wearing glasses and a red shirt.]
Vince: What’s up with it?

Student 2: The lightning strikes?
Vince: Yeah.
Student 2: I dunno.
[A third student wheels over, a ginger girl in a blue hoodie.]
Student 3: I heard a rumour that George turned to stone.
[Vince looks at the third student, surprised. The second student sighs.]
Student 2: That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Vince: That is… ridiculous, sorry.
Student 3: [offended] What? Come on! It looked like the sky cracked open and you’re telling me that this is the dumbest thing.
Student 2: Yeah, I think so.
[The third students huffs, pushing away from them. Vince moves back next to Sissel, who is staring intensely at Hyde.]
Vince: [confused] You okay?
Sissel: [concerned] Who are you?
[Hyde looks back at Sissel.]
Hyde: I’m… the new substitute?
Sissel: Where’s Richard?
[The group all look at him in surprise, Vince returning to his computer and staying silent.]
Hyde: [nervous] Well… he’s… he’s dead, Cecil.
[Sissel looks at Hyde confused.]
Sissel: No he isn’t.
[Everyone looks at him now in confusion. Vince looks at the side, confused.]
Hyde: [concerned] S-sorry what?
Sissel: I saw him earlier, on the way here.
Hyde: [concerned] I don’t think you did, Cecil.
Sissel: [defensive] no, I’m serious, he was just-
[Vince grabs Sissel’s arm, standing up with him.]
Vince: [worried] I’m gonna take him outside for a minute.
Hyde: [worried] Please, can you take him to the nurse?
[Vince nods, Sissel looking confused as he’s taken out the room. Vince closes the door and looks at Sissel, who has now realised what’s happened. Tracey arrives next to Sissel, resting on his shoulder.]
Vince: [worried] Sissel… I need you to be honest with me-
Sissel: [panicking] I can see dead people.
[Vince stops, surprised.]
Vince: [worried] Um… not what I was going to ask.

Sissel: [panicking] Sorry, um… just I think I saw Goldberg earlier-
Vince: [worried] That doesn't mean you can see dead people! Maybe you confused him with someone else.
Sissel: [panicking] I swear, I didn't! I swear!
Vince: [worried] Have you told anyone else?
Sissel: [panicking] W-well no.
Vince: [worried] Okay, don’t. Please?
Sissel: [confused] What?
Vince: [worried] Sissel… maybe this is just… trauma coming through.
Sissel: [certain] No, it’s… I can see dead people. I can see Tracey!
Vince: [worried] I’m sure you can! But…
[Vince sighs.]
Vince: [worried] I definitely want to believe you, but this might just be your… coping mechanism. Or you… I don’t know, but this might just be illness. Not a superpower.
[Vince holds Sissel’s shoulders, Tracey moving out the way slightly and behind Vince.]
Vince: [worried] I’m worried about you, okay, so just… keep it quiet. Please? Until you know for sure?
[Sissel looks past Vince and at Tracey.]
Tracey: Probably a good idea. So you don’t look crazy.
[Sissel starts to nod, moving back to Vince.]
Sissel: Alright then.
[Vince sighs, smiling a bit.]
Vince: [relieved] Um… okay, you go down to the nurse. I’ll clear things up in here. Okay?
[Sissel nods. Vince smiles, giving Sissel a quick hug and then entering the classroom again. Tracey moves and rests on Sissel’s shoulder.]
Tracey: You’re not going to the nurse, are you?
Sissel: [worried] Nope.
Tracey: You’re gonna go find “Richard” aren’t you?
Sissel: [worried] Yep.
[Sissel turns and starts to leave. Tracey sighs, smiling a bit.]
Tracey: [chuckling] Okay then, fun.

Galactic Fist of Legend
In the year 2018 a bright star appeared near Earth. Humanity as a whole was briefly introduced to a race of beings far beyond their understanding. During that brief interaction a proclamation was made, Defeat the Grand Emissary or become the eternal slaves of those who had arrived at Earth. The only chance for victory was for people all across the globe to make a choice. When prompted to become a champion and a play a bizarre game of life or death they could choose yes or no. Those who chose no, went about their lives afterward. All memory of the event was lost despite the fact that their very existence as a free species hung by a single thread. Will those who said yes manage to survive the horror of the game and become strong enough to defeat the Grand Emissary. Can one of them become... The Galactic Fist of Legend. Also, it's a comedy. Pretty obvious, right? Notes: This story will contain graphic violence, stupid humor, nudity, sexiness, and maybe I'll give the main character a pet cat or something. I don't know yet. Still, you need to be pretty mature to properly take care of a pet. Notes2: This story is my answer to stories such as Gantz, Terror Infinity, Battle Royale, Btoom!, and strangely enough... Captain N: The Video Game Master. It is an original story, but it does seek to give a similar vibe to some of those tales of legend. However, it is not meant to be an overly serious tale as I have decided that the new stories that I release in the coming year will be mostly comedies.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
