Characters:
Jeremy (male) Kay (female) Chrissy (female) Rory (male) Nell (DM) (male)
SCENE: ALL enter from upstage left, moving toward downstage. ALL chatting happily. KAY standing somewhat closer to RORY than the rest of the group. Table downstage with five chairs set around it.
NELL: You guys ready to start?
CHRISSY: (annoyed) Really, you need to ask that again?
NELL: Just making sure you're ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
JEREMY: Nell, just tell us what the adventure is. I thought we were coming for Dungeons and Dragons.
NELL: You are, (pulls out papers) I found something that will make this game a whole new experience.
CHRISSY: (confused) Wait, wait, wait! What about our regular characters?
NELL: These ones will make it easier to work with my new machine. (fidgeting with papers) If you don't like it then we won't have this campaign on their record.
CHRISSY: (looking at character sheet) Alright, if we're doing this your way then that cleric needs to be able to heal.
(CHRISSY and NELL walk towards table discussing the characters)
KAY: (aside to RORY) Is it always like this?
RORY: (back to KAY) Pretty much. Chrissy usually leads the campaigns and Jeremy helps mostly.
JEREMY: (subtly moves closer) So who's your friend Rory?
RORY: (spins around ) Oh, uhm. Kay, this is Jeremy, Jeremy, Kay.
KAY: (whisper) Hi.
CHRISSY: (shouting) What do you mean we can't do that?
NELL: (scowling) I told you it won't work with this new way.
JEREMY: I should go break that up. (sighs) Hope to get to know you better during the game. (walks away)
KAY: You're sure it's alright for them to do that?
RORY: Do what? Fight?
KAY: Yeah, or whatever they're doing over there.
RORY: Oh, yeah it's fine for them to do that.
CHRISSY: Rory come over here with (Jeremy leans over) Kay and chose your characters.
RORY (faintly smiling): Alright (to KAY) M'lady. (holds out arm)
KAY: (stiffly reaches out) Thank you!
(BOTH walk over)
(CHRISSY, JEREMY and RORY chose quickly)
CHRISSY: Alright, now what?
NELL (handing KAY the last paper): You go over there and get in. (points at cylinders on stage left) When the door closes you put the goggles on.
(NELL sits while CHRISSY, RORY, JEREMY, and KAY walk over to the tube. ALL but NELL enter the tubes and put the goggles on.)
SCENE goes black.
