ASHY: Shattered Moon Redux

The Future

FADE IN:

INT. SOLAR BOOKSTORE - DAY

A small and cluttered bookstore. Piles of books are scattered about the store and bookshelves are in need of a good cleaning.

ASHEN PINE is at the front of the store, behind the cash register at the front desk.

Behind the front desk,is an opened door that leads to the back of the store.

KASS is standing next to him, with a pile of books in her hands.

KASS, 19, Ashen's only other co-worker.

KASS: I still can't believe the headmaster himself invited you to Beacon!

ASHEN (sarcastic): Really, Kass? You've been bugging me about it for the last month now.

MR. APOLLO pops his head out from the back of the store.

MR. APOLLO, 35, the owner and their boss.

MR. APOLLO: Did you figure out that semblance of yours?

KASS: Oh, yeah Ashen! Spill!

ASHEN: Yeah, I kinda did.

EXT. BACKYARD - DAY (FLASHBACK)

The backyard is huge, framed by a garden full of various types of flowers.

Some of the flowers are planted in the ground. Some of the flowers are potted.

In the center of the backyard was an ornate picnic swing. The ornate design is made up of roses and vines.

Beyond the backyard is a deep forest.

Ashen is standing by some potted white roses. He is holding a sports field tape measure in one of his hands. Ashen picks up one of the potted white roses and places the end of the sports field tape measure under the pot.

ASHEN (V.O.): I tested my semblance in the backyard. I first measured the distance of my teleportation.

Ashen teleports. He ends up in the woods. He teleports back to the pot and Ashen teleports again.

Ashen in the sky. He begins falling. He teleports back to the pot and the ground.

ASHEN (V.O.): If I did my measurements right, I can teleport up to 300 feet in length and height.

Ashen picks up the potted white roses. He teleports a foot away. He is holding the pot.

ASHEN (V.O.): I can teleport any I'm wearing and anything inorganic I'm holding. However...

The dirt and white roses fall to the ground, a foot away from Ashen.

ASHEN (V.O.): I can't teleport anything organic.

INT. SOLAR BOOKSTORE - DAY (PRESENT)

Back in the bookstore. All attention was on Ashen.

KASS: Does that mean you can't teleport with other people?

ASHEN: In a nutshell, Kass.

MR. APOLLO (at ASHEN) : For someone who doesn't want to be a huntsman, you put a lot of effort into understanding your semblance.

ASHEN: That wasn't the reason why. I was...

Ashen teleports straight into the wall, right across the store. Kass falls over laughing, dropping the books right on top of her as she does.

MR. APOLLO (scolds): Kass, get up! You shouldn't be laughing! You can't even control your own semblance!

ASHEN (moans): It's fine. Sometimes, I accidentally teleport. That's why I tried to figure out my semblance.
