let's get this over with...

This script, it's character, it's ideas, and every little piece of imaginary work that went into this is MINE ©Amaya_Sempai

If you want to use them for any reason, let me know, and ill most likely let you for the small price of a link to what you're doing. Any resemblance to real people is unintentional, unless you're one of my friends, or voice actors. then, it's likely on purpose.

Now, then. Shall we begin:

[Draft proclamation falls off the wall and blows in the wind. Is caught by Jade and crumpled]

Jade: Another one! If Aiden wasn't drafted, I'd be tempted to join the resistance. The whole system is corrupt.

[Huffs, and throws the paper on the ground ]

Dezzy: The president has way too much power for her own good. She has no right to draft twelve year old boys. Do you even know what the war is about?

Jade: something about oil, or boycotting us for debt. Why don't we just pay them the money again? Our economy is perfectly fine. We can spare the cash, especially with what it's costing us to fight.

Dezzy:[reaches a curb and waits for the light to change] Yeah,well. One way or another, we have to take this in stride. It's not like we can do anything...

Jade: I guess so.

[they cross the street, passing a large sign labeled "residential district"]

Dezzy: you're home![ she tries to inject a false sense a cheer into her words, for Jade's benefit.]

Jade:(laughs)don't even try! [Opens the door, and steps onto the threshold.]

[There is a silence in the room, and she looks around, nervous.]

Jade:mom?

Dezzy: maybe we should-

Jade: shhhhhh!

Dezzy: don't shush me!(whisper)

[Boots are heard coming down the hallway,and an officer appears, along with her mother.]

Mom: this is Captain Selenia. She- [ she swallows hard, and you can tell she's been crying.]

Selenia: your brother has deserted. He joined the rebels, and is now under investigation. If he returns home, you are to report him, and if it is found that he was here and you did not turn him in, you will be counted as accomplices to his desertion.

Mom(hides her face in her hands]

Jade: [goes to her mother, comforting her.] Thank you officer, you may leave. ( she is polite, but her voice is clipped.)

Dezzy: Jade! (Chiding)

Selenia: it's not her fault. She was born into a very crude family.

[ the officer leaves the room, and shuts the door loudly.]

Dezzy:[sticks her tongue out at his back]

J:Dezzy, are you sure you still want to stay? I've got some major reconstruction to do here.....

Dezzy: do you seriously think that can scare me off? I'm insulted by your lack of confidence in me!

Jade:(amicably) alright.

Mom:[ miraculously regains her composure ] Jade, I'm leaving.

Jade: What?

Mom: [her mother looks around before gesturing to her room.] You remember your father?
