WOODLAND APPROACH TO DEMON KING'S CASTLE - DAY
Samara and Remy's in-game avatars step into the woods. It looks innocuous enough to host games of make-believe among a small child and several anthropomorphic critters.Remy remains tense.
SAMARA: "Relax! We're supposed to be having fun! You can let your guard down-"
WHOOSH!
A BANDIT jumps out of the thicket!
SHINK!
The Bandit stabs Sam in the stomach.
SAMARA: "OOOF! NEVER MIND! GUARD UP! KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!"
The human blasts her assailant with a cloud of buckshot. Many more BANDITS appear from the thicket. It's an ambush!
Remy fumbles with her 'weapon.'
REMY: "H...how do I fire this thing in the game?!"
Samara racks her shotgun to load a new shell.
SAMARA: "Just tap on the enemies!"
Remy shoots a handful of plastic pellets into a Bandit's face. It probably would have been more effective if she had thrown them instead.
BANDIT #1: "Hey! Ow!"
BANDIT #2 (wearing a helmet): "I told you to wear eye protection, Taylor. This is what happens when you don't listen."
SAMARA: "Oh man, I forgot this area is too high level for your character. Time to summon!"
Samara pulls out her enchanted in-game cellphone. She then presses one of the contacts on her speed dial menu.
A portal of light appears on the grass in front of them.
LADY FAIRLIGHT: "Those that threaten Samara will meet their end by the edge of Farah Fairlight's blade!"
The Lady Knight dispatches the Bandit horde with a few swings of her longsword. Lady Fairlight sheathes her blade.
SAMARA'S BEDROOM - DAY
Remy places Sam's IRL phone down and covers her forehead.REMY: "Can we stop Sam? I'm not feeling too well."
SAMARA: "Why? What's going on?"
Sam glances at the phone she lent Remy. The action on the screen is moving at the speed of a very aggressive PowerPoint presentation.
SAMARA: "Oof. I guess my phone can't run the game as well as I thought... If you're feeling motion sickness from playing a game, just take a break and stare straight ahead until your stomach settles."
REMY: "I don't need to see any more to get a sense of this game. I think I got the jist of it."
SAMARA: "Oh no, we're not trying to market this game. We're marketing a game that is set in the same universe as this one!"
REMY: "So, shouldn't I be playing that game then?"
Samara thinks for a moment.
