《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.4 - Showing Off
Advertisement
[Sissel runs down a corridor and passes unknowingly past Leigh and Chelsea, both holding coffees and drinking. Leigh is looking at Chelsea in worry, which she notices.]
Chelsea: [confused] What is it?
Leigh: [worried] Well… based on what you told me, doesn’t coffee make your power work?
[Chelsea shook her head, taking a quick swig.]
Chelsea: [chuckling] Only if it has a battery in it. Tried it out a couple of times.
Leigh: Okay… to be honest, I have a couple of questions now.
[Chelsea hands him her coffee, taking a few steps forward and ruffling through her pockets.]
Chelsea: Want me to show you?
Leigh: It’s fine, really.
[Chelsea pulls out a battery from her pocket.]
Chelsea: You sure?
Leigh: [insistent] Of course!
[Chelsea shrugs, pocketing the battery and getting her coffee back.]
Chelsea: Your loss.
[She takes the coffee back, both taking a large drink from it. Leigh sighs after it, squishing the empty cup and putting it in a nearby bin as they walk again.]
Leigh: [embarrassed] Um…
[Leigh exhales, looking around the room.]
Chelsea: What?
Leigh: [embarrassed] Um… just… j-just something I’ve been thinking about.
Chelsea: Wanna talk about it.
[Leigh squeaks a bit, chuckling after.]
Leigh: [embarrassed] Maybe… eventually…
[Leigh shakes his head, Chelsea drinking again.]
Leigh: [embarrassed] I don’t know, I’m nervous about it.
Chelsea: Is it about the powers stuff?
[Leigh shakes his head, looking down.]
Chelsea: Wanna talk about it?
Leigh: I… don’t think so yet.
Chelsea: Well if you wanna talk about it…
[Chelsea smiles to him as she goes to open a door at the end of the corridor. She misses the handle, looking at the door and seeing it slowly opening for her. She looks back to Leigh who’s holding out his hand and slowly turning it. She sighs.]

Chelsea: Is this you?
Leigh: I thought I was being nice.
[Chelsea laughs at him mockingly, throwing the coffee cup at him. He flinches as it went over his shoulder, turning and stopping it in mid-air. It slowly moves back over to his hand, showing it to Chelsea triumphantly.]
Chelsea: [impressed] Not bad.
Leigh: [smug] I try.
[He comes over, the two continuing their walk. Cuts to Liv and Gary together, sat at a table and thinking. Velma is distracted on her phone.]
Gary: [annoyed] Can I ask something?
Liv: Shoot.
Gary: [annoyed] Why do I not get a power?
[Liv looks at him and shrugs, pocketing her phone as it buzzes.]
Liv: I don’t know, this thing already makes less than no fucking sense.
Gary: [annoyed] We were all in that Storm! Me and Sissel, we both should have powers but we don’t. Why not?
Liv: I don’t know I said, why you asking me anyway?
Gary: [annoyed] I’m not, I’m venting!
Liv: [annoyed] Fine then!
[Gary leans back in his chair, looking around the college.]
Gary: Bit barren today…
Liv: Apparently ton of people got hurt in that Storm.
Gary: [surprised] Really?
Liv: Yep. Hell, there’s this kid in my class called Bayard who apparently nearly lost his dog in it.
Gary: [surprised] Crap…
Liv: Yeah…
[Gary thinks for a few seconds.]
Gary: How many people do you think were in hit?
[Liv turns to Gary, sighing.]
Liv: If you’re gonna be jealous-
Gary: I’m just saying, we know that there is a killer White Rabbit around who seems to target people around here recently so…
[Gary headbutts the table, gripping his head and shocking Liv.]
Liv: [surprised] Jesus, Gary!
Gary: [angry] What the fuck is happening? We’re meant to be going through a nice fucking easy-breezy year but instead!

[Gary punches the table.]
Gary: [angry] Instead we’re playing fucking Scooby Doo to unmask a fucking murderer!
Liv: [worried] Gary, just try and calm down.
Gary: [angry] Why should I? This is not what I fucking wanted!
[Gary gets up from the table, punching it again.]
Gary: [angry] I did not come here, after all the shit we’ve been through with Tracey, just to end up in a fucking crisis!
[Gary storms off, angrily ranting to himself. Liv watches him leave, sighing. She pulls her phone out and opens her text messages to Velma. A few have already been sent.]
Liv: [text only] It seems like he’s getting better.
Velma: [text only] Are you sure he’s fine?
Liv: [text only] Yes I am, trust me. He’s been fine at home, right?
Velma: [text only] He talks to himself a lot.
[Liv reads the last message, looking up to where Gary went and then starting to reply.]
Liv: [text only] I’ll ask him about it.

Rise of the Weakest Summoner
One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Within the burning rubble, a young woman found a baby, a sole survivor of the attack, and decided to take it with her and raise as her own. As she was leaving with the little child in her hands, two falling stars lit up the night sky, and she named the boy Asterios. Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.

Wild Steam
Get on a train. Head east. Get on a ship. Travel further east, in style. See some wonders of the world. Find what was lost. Find where home is. How hard is any of that?Well, for Jake Ranger, pretty damned hard. The world being a wild, crazy mess from a global altering event called the Shattering doesn’t help much. Nor does being a famous folk hero. That last one really sucks, because people always run up to famous heroes and beg them for help with all their problems. Then there are the actual outlaws and monsters. They don’t help much either. Mostly they just get in the way and make everything way worse. And in a world that is so screwed up decades after the Shattering, there is a lot of variety to both outlaw and monster. Then there are the more civilized, (read: sane), non-human folk, and good old humans as well. They all get along just spectacularly. Totally best friends, on every level, for life. Of course getting to the east coast is only half the battle. Once there, he must contend with the so-called “civilized people.” Then there’s the ship ride; pirates and sea monsters are a thing too, after all. Should have read the brochure. But when the chips are down, the bad guys are winning and the wild winds of chaos are blowing, it helps to have a fighter on your side. Even if he is a little wild. After all, that’s not really a problem. That’s what beautiful women and lots of gold is for. Proper motivation is always key to success. Welcome to a Steampunk, Wild West, Victorian era, Lovecraftian infested, fantasy, shoot ‘em up world. Complete with a slow build harem of badass beautiful women, crazy adventures, and fun, monstrous villains. Welcome to the world of Wild Steam. Do enjoy your stay.
