《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.12 - Thamesmead
Advertisement
[Sissel runs out the front doors of College, quickly looking around and mumbling to himself. He’s passing through a car park on his way out, only with a couple of cars there. He focuses on the floor.]
Sissel: [mumbling] I’m in idiot, I should… grade-a… idiot! And Witley Barbit, the hell is-
[Sissel starts walking past Goldberg, looking around the area confused. He takes notice of Sissel.]
Goldberg: Hey, you’re already done?
Sissel: [annoyed] I gave Chelsea the laptop, accidentally with the notebook and our teacher wants to kill us.
[Goldberg nods, putting his hands in his pockets.]
Goldberg: Okay, that’s not good.
Sissel: [annoyed] No, no it is not. Also Tracey says that he’s talking to a Witley Barbit who probably wants us dead…
[Goldberg perks up, thinking.]
Sissel: [annoyed] And Liv is annoyed with me, which is completely fair but I don’t know what to-
Goldberg: Witley is the Rabbit.
Sissel: [annoyed] Pardon?
Goldberg: Barbit is just an anagram of Rabbit. Witley Barbit is a false name that the White Rabbit is using. Whoever this teacher is, they’re a pawn to the Rabbit. Honestly, it’s kinda obvious.
[Sissel groans, moving over to a wall at the side and headbutting it.]
Goldberg: Oh, come on! Don’t do that!
Sissel: [annoyed] It helps when I’m stressed.
[Sissel comes back over.]
Goldberg: How the hell does that help you when you’re stressed?
Sissel: It distracts me from stu- aaaaah!
[Sissel grips his forehead, bending over at the waist.]
Sissel: Christ, that hurts.
Goldberg: It would! You headbutt a wall!
Sissel: [strained] Um… what about you? Find anything?
Goldberg: [sarcastic] Oh, about what happens when we die? Yeah, I managed to find all the answers in about five minutes flat, good day for me!
Sissel: [annoyed] You don’t have to be a prick about it!

Goldberg: I’m sorry but you can’t expect me to find the answer you’re looking for in less than a day!
Sissel: Well… it’d help if you keep looking.
Goldberg: [worried] If you’re being chased by a man set to kill you, surely it’d make more sense to focus on that.
Sissel: I will… just Tracey matters more.
Goldberg: You mean the girl that you’re trying to get rid of?
Sissel: [annoyed] Can you just…
[Sissel groans, holding his head.]
Goldberg: Cecil… I’m sorry… but whether you like it or not-
[Tracey dropped through the ceiling suddenly between Sissel and Goldberg, landing with a bend then a quick bow.]
Tracey: Okay, that was actually better than I expected.
Goldberg: Nice landing.
Tracey: Thank you!
[Sissel gets up, stretching a bit. Tracey looks at him, worried.]
Tracey: [worried] Did you headbutt a wall again?
[Goldberg gies a judging stare at Sissel.]
Sissel: Yeah… little bit.
Tracey: [annoyed] Sissel!
Sissel: It helps!
Goldberg: [concerned] I would disagree with that.
Tracey: Well… look, can you explain to me why someone is trying to kill you?
Sissel: [worried] Um… it’s- well- it’s a bit of a long story.
Tracey: [annoyed] I’m dead. I have time.
[Sissel sighs. He looks at Goldberg then back at Tracey, frowning.]
Sissel: Fine. We were in a lightning storm that gave us superpowers.
Tracey: I know that bit.
Sissel: We were there because the Tea Party, your little squad, saved me from having a gun pointed at my head. Two crazy people tried to shoot me, Leigh saved my life. We ran away and got struck by lightning. Now another crazy person wearing a rabbit mask is trying to kill us because apparently we got the Flash origin story. Any other questions?
[Tracey thinks for a moment, surprised.]

Tracey: Have you told anyone?
Sissel: [hesitant] No.
Tracey: Why not?
Sissel: Does it matter?
Tracey: Yes!
[Sissel hesitates speaking, chuckling awkwardly.]
Sissel: Well… who would believe it?
Goldberg: Other people like us.
Sissel: [annoyed] Really? Because I basically acted fucking crazy when she died, they’ll just think it’s… it’s psychosis. Or mental illness. Something would be wrong with me.
[Goldberg groans and moves over to Sissel and Tracey.]
Tracey: They aren’t like that, they’ll believe you.
Sissel: [hesitant] I don’t think they will.
Goldberg: Mind if I try something?
[Sissel and Tracey look at him confused.]
Sissel: [confused] What?
Goldberg: Well, just… I wanna see if my power still works.
Sissel: I doubt it.
Tracey: Worth a shot.
Sissel: I really disagree with that.
[Goldberg groans and places his hands on their shoulders.]
Sissel: I mean what do we expec-
[Sissel’s eyes suddenly go blue and he collapses to the ground in pain, groaning. He starts shaking on the ground, the world starting becoming dark in his eyes. After a few seconds, the scene clears up in a different area. Instead of a carpark, he’s now stood on the roof of a block of flats. He’s on the edge, overlooking a city. He starts taking deep breaths as his eyes return to normal, frantically looking around. To his left is Tracey and his right is Goldberg.]
Sissel: [panicking] What the hell did you do?! Where are we?!
Goldberg: London… Thamesmead, I think- holy crap, that works!
[Tracey turns around, stepping off the ledge. Sissel turns to Goldberg annoyed, stepping up to him.]
Sissel: [annoyed] You didn’t know that would work?!
Goldberg: [excited] No, but it’s a good thing that it did! I mean this is amazing, admittedly.
Tracey: Guys…
Goldberg: [excited] Ghosts can still use their powers, that’s a breakthrough.
Sissel: [annoyed] Could you maybe have given me some information about what the hell you were planning to do?!
Tracey: [annoyed] Guys…
Goldberg: Well there wouldn’t have been a point if it hadn’t worked!
Sissel: [annoyed] Oh my god, you really are a-
[Tracey turns to them.]
Tracey: [annoyed, loud] Hey! Dick and Dyke, look at this!
[Sissel and Goldberg look towards Tracey’s direction. Sissel is immediately shocked and stumbles backwards. He screams, but is caught by Goldberg who flings him onto the roof.]
Sissel: [terrified] What the hell did you do?!
Goldberg: Thamesmead… London… 2009…
[Goldberg chuckles and jumps down, walking next to Tracey. On the rooftop, in front of the group, there stands Benny on the ground having what appears to be a seizure with Benny, Goldberg and Cheshire stood over him. In the back is Marshall and Alice, wearing their white and brown masks, along with the Hatter next to them.]
Goldberg: This was the day that the team fell apart.

8 191Psychotic Death Online
(Side Project for now)In a futuristic alternate reality, the creators of nanotech team up with the VR capsule company to create a capsule where one could stay it in for a year at a time before having to leave. These capsules could be use for rehab and even reconstruction! Eventually, Buzzard, the largest gaming company in the world, created a new VRMMO with 99% realism pending the new capsules, of course the rate dropped to 97% with normal capsules and 90% with the old fashioned visor systems. Unfortunately, the new capsules cost $100,000 and not many people can afford them, either way the new game World of Destiny was a hit with over 110 million subscriptions!Meet our tragic MC Feng Jun, an injured psychopath that simply wants to get his next kill. He has no MO, he doesn't even care if what he kills is an insect let alone a person. He just has to kill every once in awhile to scratch his itch. Up til an injury that left him without a leg, he was able to make do simply killing insects as no one cared and he didn't even have to visit any doctors about it. People just thought he hated bugs! But after his injury he has been suck at his home not being able to do anything! Fortunately he is rich and spends most of his time playing MMOs since normal VRMMOs don't work well with his injury as the realism setting always keeps him with only one leg! But what will he do with a new opportunity to rebuild his leg with nanotech? Knowing he has to spend a year in the game minimum for something like this, he sets a goal to insure he doesn't go crazy (er) without having stuff to kill.This is a VRMMO story where the game is closer to zhan long than royal road with a few twists here and there. The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)

Most of my motivation for the story will come from my experiences so despite this being a mainly Asia industry I hope cultural gaps don’t come in the way of readers enjoying my story. I love manga and anime and recently started reading web novels so I was inspired to write my own. Comments are greatly appreciated, thanks and enjoy the story.
8 199Words I Left Unsaid
"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face."This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.Ranks -#3 in poem#3 in poembook#8 in poetry collection #7 in sadpoems#6 in poemcollection #7 in wisdom #15 in poetic
