《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.7 - The Rat
Advertisement
[Shows a house with brown walls in it’s corridor, a few pictures hung up showing a couple together. The door at the end of the corridor leads outside, as a few lights from cars travel past it during the late night. At the door, through it, appears a silhouette. They’re blurred by the window, but they appear to be wearing a brown coat, blue decoration on a white shirt and have blonde hair. Down the corridor walks Hyde, who’s wearing his work clothes. He comes over to the door, unlocks it and then opens the door. When he opens it, he sees an empty street and grows confused. He steps onto the street, looking to the left and right. The street is empty and a few cars are parked along the road. When Hyde looks to the right, he sees a white van. He turns back to go back inside, but Alice stands there and shuts the door before he can. She’s wearing the brown coat with a blue ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. She turns to Hyde and smiles.]
Alice: [happy] Hey, Lou.
Hyde: [surprised] Alice?
Alice: [happy] You remembered. That’s sweet.
Hyde: How couldn’t I? You wouldn’t stop blowing up my phone!
[Alice points over at the van at the end of the street.]
Alice: How about we get moving?
[Hyde sighs, turning to the van and heading over to it. The back doors open up for him and he enters, Alice closing them behind her once they’re in. Hyde sits down and looks to the side, seeing Marshall staring angrily at him.]
Hyde: So… you must be Witley Barbit-
Marshall: [angry] You took Richard Goldberg’s job at the college.
Hyde: Yeah, so?
Marshall: [angry] He was the Caterpillar. He betrayed us. All of us.

Hyde: [confused] Right… I didn’t know all your names, can I clarify-
Alice: What’s the class you’re teaching, Lou?
Hyde: [confused] Why does i-
[Alice flicks out a knife, pointing it at Hyde who panics and backs further into the van.]
Hyde: [panicking] Okay, photography! I do photography!
[Alice smiles.]
Alice: Good boy.
Marshall: I need you to do a bit of work for me.
Hyde: [worried] I… I don’t want to get involved with whatever the hell you guys-
[Hyde starts to get up but Marshall pushes him back, Alice slowly getting her knife out.]
Alice: [calmly] Lou… buddy… we’ve talked, you’re a good guy. Me and my friend, not so much. So how about…
[Alice takes the knife out, handing it to Marshall.]
Alice: [calmly] You make a decision quickly?
[Hyde looks between the two of them, sighing.]
Hyde: [panicking] Well… when you put it like that…
[Cuts back to Hyde being thrown back into the corridor of his house. He turns back to see Alice. He tries to speak but Alice shushes him.]
Alice: [happy] See ya soon Lou. We’ll talk.
[Alice winks and is surrounded in a pink aura, being consumed by it before vanishing. There’s a small explosion of wind as Hyde looks at the space in surprise.]
Hyde: I… am never getting used to that.
[Hyde turns back around and walks into the house, getting a message on his phone. He opens it up and checks his phone. It’s a message from Witley Barbit.]
Marshall: [text only] Don’t disappoint me.
[Hyde sighs, pocketing the phone. Cuts back to Alice as she appears in the van, Marshall spinning his phone in circles between his fingers. Alice smiles to him.]
Alice: See? This is easy.
Marshall: No… no it’s not.

Alice: [frowning] Oh come on, Grumpy, you’re gonna be like this the whole time?
[Marshall looks at Alice, annoyed.]
Marshall: Ben didn't have to use his power. He could’ve just let everyone live instead of creating another Storm. But he had to let the powers out again: why?
Alice: [confused] Well… he gets emotional and that made him set it off.
Marshall: No, he and Goldberg, they were talking. They knew who we were. Meaning that they knew about our lives.
[Alice sighs, leaning back in the van on the other side to Marshall.]
Marshall: He chose Chesterfield for a reason. I just wanna know what he knew.
Alice: [worried] Y’know… maybe it’s time you told her. About all of this.
Marshall: [forceful] No. She can’t know.
Alice: [worried] Why not?
[Marshall scoffs, looking at Alice in thought.]
Marshall: [forceful] How could she trust me? When we go out and do this?
[Alice moves slightly closer.]
Alice: She’s your wife, Marshall. She’s the only other woman I know who even knows about the Storm and she was bloody supportive through everything that happened to you.
[Marshall shrugs, looking out the window.]
Alice: We aren’t even the bad guys! We’re stopping the bad guys, whatever it takes! She would understand, hon.
[Marshall looks at Alice and sighs.]
Marshall: I’m… gonna go and get some air.
[Alice nods to him. Marshall gets up and moves out the van, closing the door behind him. He rests his head against the door, closing his eyes and thinking. After a few seconds he pulls himself up. He turns around, facing an empty street. He scratches the back of his head and begins to walk away from the van, as it starts to play a muffled version of Mr Blue Sky by ELO.]

Glass Cannon
Mortal Coil is the best VRMMO in the market with millions of people playing it! In this game, two best friends made a bet with each other. Whoever becomes the #1 ranked would win. Such a simple bet, but to them, it was like a declaration of war. Being two of the most stubborn individuals on the planet that saw loss as a personal offense, they made this last bet before cutting off their friendship due to some... complicated matters(Don't worry It'll get explained in the book). The problem was, that one was super talented at the game, and the other was super shit. This story revolves around that player. No, not the talented one, the shit one. Hated by many for his rather "uncouth" strategies (one of which included hitting a guy in the back of the head with a wooden board, stealing all his stuff and leaving him stark naked in the middle of the woods), his name is Jack. Oh, and did I mention he's a min-Maxed for health which drives people insane? Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he stumbles upon the worst possible hidden class for him. Warrior of Glass. A class with insanely high attack power... and insanely low HP. He's also given a quest to retrieve a sword in the middle of the Ashen Forest (lovingly nicknamed "Suicide Woods" by the players) and another quest to kill 7 insanely powerful demon lords that roam the lands so he can fulfill his predecessor's legacy. Now, armed only with a veeery high damage output, an unbendable will of steel and his almost nonexistent sense of guilt (emphasis on almost), he still aims to become the #1 player. This time, with some serious handicaps.

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
