WYRMSGILD SCHOOL OF ADVENTURE AND DUNGEONEERING - DAY

UNKNOWN VOICE: "Greetings Professor."

A massive golden serpent emerges from a crater behind a wooden desk. The serpent is wearing a pointy hat and comically small glasses.

GILDSWYRM: "I am Gildswyrm Dungeonadventure, the Headmaster of Wyrmsgild School of Adventure and Dungeoneering."

The colossal serpent opens a drawer with its mouth and places a cauldron on the table.

GILDSWYRM: "House Leader of the Purple Parrots, it is time to select your pupils."

HOKIEN MEDIA GAME DEMO ROOM - DAY

Headmaster Gildswyrm is but a character on the screen of a tablet in front of Sam. There is a semi-transparent overlay over the game that reads "DEMO COPY." Samara taps the inventory button on the game's menu. It shows she has a balance of 5 Celestial Turds.

SAMARA: "Alright, Professor Goldworm."

Samara drags and drops the Celestial Turds into the cauldron on the tablet.

The Cauldron begins to shake, spewing particle effects in all directions.

It produces a platinum-colored scroll. It shimmers with brilliant intensity.

In the real world, Samara taps on the scroll on the screen. It opens with a blinding flash of light.

BOOM!

The doors to Gildswyrm's office burst open. Fog pours out for dramatic effect.

UNKNOWN VOICE: "Greetings Professor."

A familiar paladin enters the room. Samara's eyes widen with excitement.

LADY FAIRLIGHT: "It is I, Farah Fairlight. Ready to receive your instruction..."

A younger version of Lady Fairlight appears on the tablet screen. She is wearing a school uniform under resplendent silver armor.

HOKIEN MEDIA GAME DEMO ROOM - DAY

SAMARA: "Holy crap! I pulled her in this game too!"

Samara turns away from her tablet and announces her luck to the rest of the room.

SAMARA: "Hey everyone! I just pulled Farah Fairlight!"

THE OTHER 47 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM IN UNISON: "We all did too."

SAMARA: "Seven-star rarity, though?"

THE OTHER 47 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM IN UNISON: "Yes, Farah is a guaranteed pull to teach you the mechanics of the game."

Samara pouts.

SAMARA: "Dammit."

Samara turns her focus back to the game.

SAMARA: "So what the hell type of game is this?"

Samara taps on Farah Fairlight's portrait.
