Script[]
| The Light Warriors are walking. | |
| Fighter | So... |
| Pause. | |
| Fighter | Anyone else here like swords? |
| Thief | You already asked that. |
| Fighter | Did I? |
| Black Mage | (simultaneously) YES! |
| Thief | |
| Red Mage | |
| Fighter | So... anyone here like claymores then? |
| Red Mage | You did that too. |
| Fighter | When? |
| Black Mage | Before the flamberges, cutlasses, rapiers, gladiuses, and katanas, but after the bastard sword, longsword, falchion, and scimitar. |
| Fighter | I'm just trying to make conversation, y'know. I figure we're going to be on the destined quest thing for a while, so we oughta get to know each other. |
| Black Mage | What destined quest? Some dude named Garland kidnapped the princess. She gets kidnapped like every other friggin' week! |
| Thief shows a scroll. | |
| Thief | Technically, according to the contract here, our 'team' won't be dissolved until I say so. |
| Fighter | I helped with that part. |
| Black Mage | Why am I not surprised by that? |
| Thief | And it looks like you suckers will be very profitable for me for a long time to come. |
| Black Mage | Very profitable?
If you've go so much money, then why are we tromping through the highly dangerous over world equipped with nothing but our wits? |
| Fighter | Ha! Who needs wits when you've got swords! |
| The other Light Warriors collapse to the ground. | |
| Fighter | What? |
