[people walking but main character in front-in hotel reception]
VOICEOVER: wassup, galaxy floofs! How's everyone doing today?
Haha you're kidding!
No one hundred percent he didn't care!
BUNNY: [when quieter] so noisy...
INFLUENCER: hey you! I love your outfit! [camera facing INFLUENCER] what are you coseplaying as, little girl?
BUNNY: no one. Move.
[INFLUENCER takes pics]
INFLUENCER: that's fine! I still like your outfit! Stand still for a moment, will ya? [taking photos]
Perfect! Maybe a little smile too? Or a pose?
[BUNNY has a clenched fist which breaks INFLUENCERS phone but it looks like it's out of battery]
INFLUENCER: [trying to fix phone in background] seriously! My phone breaks now! Hey, where'd she go? [BUNNY walking away]
[staff only sign by door]
[security camera breaks]
HELIUM: I'm still kinda nervous. I haven't done an appearance like this before.
ALAN: hey. [pats her shoulder] you got this! Just pretend they're all on a screen and talk like you usually do.
HELIUM: ok, thanks Alan. I should remember that they have all come here to support me. Phew..can I go over the opening with you again?
ALAN: in a bit. I have to go over some notes with the organisers.
HELIUM: please don't take too long.
ALAN: don't worry! I'll be back before you know it! [locks door] [looking at watch] [notices BUNNY] oh, hey friend. You can't be back here I'm afraid.
BUNNY: [acting cute] but...Marcus...he is stuck...can you help me please??
ALAN: Marcus?
BUNNY: yes. We were playing and he got locked in that room over there. He's a big dumby!
ALAN: ok I'll help you. But promise you'll leave right after. This isn't a play place.
[they both get to a big door]
Is this the room?
BUNNY: yes.
[ALAN walks in and turns lights on]
ALAN: ok. Playtimes over-
[bunny pushes him in]
[ALAN falls]
BUNNY: thanks [grabs keys and puts baby voice back on] Marcus. [locks door]
ALAN: hey! [bangs on door] let me out!!!! You little- [gets out walkie talkie] hello? This is Alan from backstage. We have an intruder. [no answer] hello? Screw it [gets out gun] [tries to shoot] huh? [empty] what the hell?
[back to JENNY and FRANK]
[walking down corridor]
FRANK: do I have to wear these?
JENNY: it's part of the disguise, dumbass.
FRANK: jeez, ok. It's just hard to see. By the way, what's your name and element? Back at the room I heard the other one call you 'Jenny'?
JENNY: [stops] just call me commander. [continues walking]
FRANK: [stopped but now tries to catch up] right. But what about your name? [ignored] hello?
JENNY: didn't I say no more questions? Do you want to get fired?
FRANK: sheesh, do you really have to be so formal? It's just the two of us on this mission. What about your favourite colour?
[JENNY gives FRANK a stern look]
Fine. I guess we are keeping it [mocking] classified. Listen, if you want smoother communication, we have to get to know each other. What if you get kidnapped? How will I know how to find you? Or I could just talk to this wall? Ya know..your hiring process is kinda crap. I still have absolutely no idea on how to help.
JENNY: you could help by following orders. And my order was for you to stop asking questions.
FRANK: ok, this is a non-mission question. The game you were playing yesterday looked pretty neat. The character looked like that girl we're going to save. See? Lie that girl on the poster [points to poster]
JENNY: wow, your observations impress me human. Why do you think we are at this convention? Wait. You DON'T know who sol ganna is?
FRANK: no, never heard of her.
JENNY: Whattttttt! She's only like, the BEST strategy game player out there. And the first elemental to ever win a major tournament! I am soooo proud of her! In celebration, they added her into her winning game!
FRANK: that's awesome! And she just so happens to be the girl we're supposed to protect?
JENNY: that's right! She's making her first live appearance today!
FRANK: let me get this straight. You chose this mission specifically so you can fangirl over your internet crush?
JENNY: [shouting] that is not true! Anyway there's no point in me explaining anymore coz you're only here to support me.
FRANK: wow. You're just gonna treat me like some tool?
JENNY: yep.
FRANK: you are not cute at all!
JENNY: good.
FRANK: listen miss teamwork. You might think you can handle this alone but in case something happens we need to synergize our elements. I'll have no clue how to help you. For someone who lectured about trust you could at least tell me your element.
JENNY: fine. Take a guess then human.
FRANK: ok well you have a tint to you so I'm guessing nectar? Tree sap? Maybe bubble gum?
JENNY: bubble gum? You know I'm not a man made elemental. I'm all natural. I was born this way.
FRANK: impressive.
JENNY: I neg to differ. Hybrids are most popular these days.
FRANK: so what are you made of then? Resin?
JENNY: nope: I'm half water.
FRANK: what's your other half?
JENNY: that's all I'm telling you.
FRANK: fine. Fine. So what's the name of that titanium girl?
JENNY: eh- she just goes by her code name, shadow slate. Just call her that.
FRANK: are you two like, dating?
JENNY: why do you ask?
FRANK: I mean, no offence, but I think you can do much better.
SHADOW: [through earpiece] I agree we could have found a more fitting sidekick.
FRANK: [scared] who the- hello?
Were you listening the whole time?
SHADOW: [on camera] we have you a radio to keep in touch. What did you think it was for? [typing on computer] also if you cared that much about my availability, why not just ask me directly?
FRANK: [not on camera] you could've said something as soon as I put the headset on. This is an invasion of privacy! You're lucky you're not here with us right now Tim head, coz I would turn you into a-a...[fades]
SHADOW: what a goofball.
JAKE: [against wall] are you regretting your choices already?
SHADOW: did I have one in the first place? I'll make it work.
JAKE: better hurry. They caught the diamond kid already.
SHADOW: are you kidding? Wasn't Neptune supposed to protect him?
JAKE: yeah well, silvers men got past them. They're starting to hire some real creeps. I presume they're making more and more compounds in the lab. Even with elements that aren't meant to be merged. Silvers little lair becomes their testing grounds.
SHADOW: and then the cycle continues.
JAKE: it's a win win for both of them.
SHADOW: ugh..Jake..
JAKE: yeah?
SHADOW: please take care.
JAKE: oh don't worry about me. I'm not the one fighting a synthetic.
SHADOW: they're already here?
JAKE: oh- would you look at the time. I'll be rooting for your little friends. [leaving] ciao.
SHADOW: hmmm..Jenny, Frank, come in...we got company.
