Script[]
Black Mage and Thief are still out of it. | |
Red Mage | (to Fighter) Okay, now let me make sure I've got this straight. We're up against a giant who has managed to take out 50% of our team with little effort. And now you and I have to brainstorm an ingenious plan of attack. |
Sara | (Zoom-up) Ahem. I am here too, y'know. I could help with your little attack plan. Seems like you need the help, really... |
Red Mage | Please, Princess Sara. The Light Warriors are talking now. |
Sara | (Zoom-up, facing away with an annoyed look) You'd better hope to whatever God you follow that this giant kills you before I have the chance to do it more painfully. |
Fighter | Did you say something, Princess Sara? |
Sara | (Smiling to Fighter) Oh heavens no. What could I possibly contribute to your man-talk. |
Dark clouds are gathering behind Princess Sara. | |
Sara | (Zoom-up, aside again) Other than logic, reason, and a clear and decisive path to certain victory, but I'm sure you nimrods have enough testosterone to headbutt your way through to something not entirely unlike success. |
Red Mage | So. Any thoughts, Fighter? |
Fighter thinks for a while. | |
Fighter | That's a trick question, right? |
Sara looks annoyed. Again. | |
Red Mage | A trick question? |
Red Mage | That's brilliant! Somethimes I think your massive intelligence penalties are so immense that they fold in upon themselves and transform into stat bonuses! |
Fighter | Well, I don't like to brag... |
Red Mage | I hope this giant has the name of a good doctor. A giant one. 'Cause I'm about to put the hurt on. |
Sara | We are so doomed. |
Red Mage | No, wait. Change my taunt to, "I hope this giant's insurance is all paid up, 'cause it's thwacky time!" |
Sara | "Thwacky time"? Do you listen to yourself? |
Giant | I DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP IN THIS ONE, AND THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME OFF ALREADY? LAAAAME. |
