1. Scene 1
*School setting. Two friends walk towards each other in the middle of a
hallway*
Friend 2: Hey man.
Friend 1: Hey. How’s it going?
F2: Good, good. You?
F1: About as okay as I could be. I mean you know what’s going on with my
parents and all.
F2: Ahh. What happened between them this time?
F1: You don’t want to know, man.
F2: That bad, huh?
F1: You know it. Anything happen on your end last night?
F2: Well, my sister got a new girlfriend, there’s a new game shop open, and
there was another murder last night.
F1: God. Another one? How many are we up to in the past month? Ten? Eleven?
More? Less?
F2: Thirteen. Lucky, I know.
F1: *deadpan* Ha, ha. Seriously, when are the police gonna go out and actually
catch whoever’s doing this?
F2: Or WHATever’s doing this.
F1: Not what. Who. I know thirteen people weren’t killed by a cat scratching
their eyes out or something.
F2: Hm. Could’ve been.
F1: But it’s horrifically unlikely. Even less likely than what story the class decided
to come up with this time. I mean what is it this time? A vampire? A werewolf?
F2: That IS the most popular rumour going around. As far as I know, at least.
F1: Tch. People’ll believe anything.
F2: Well... that’s not entirely untrue. Not gonna lie.
2. F1: Of course, it’s not untrue. When are people gonna realise that that kind of
crap just isn’t true?
F2: Maybe when some person goes and actually finds out the truth?
F1: I mean that COULD work. It’s not very likely. But who the hell would even do
that?
F2: Well, in the case of everyone around here, I think I’m looking at him.
F1: Who? Me?
F2: *sarcastically* No way, not you. Why did you ever think it would be you? It’s
obviously that one hot teacher in the distance who’s yelling at a bunch of idiots
for being, you know, idiots. *dropping the sarcasm* Yeah, you.
F1: ...Yeah, sure.
F2: Wait, really?
F1: Yeah. I mean what else am I gonna do tonight?
F2: Watch The Dark Knight Rises?
F1: Seen it.
F2: Play Mega Man 11?
F1: Beat it.
F2: Already? Well how about some other third thing?
F1: Not if you can’t think of some specific third thing that I would want to do
tonight.
F2: Touché, man. Touché. *the school bell rings* Ahh, damn. There’s the bell.
Be seeing you later.
F1: Later, mate. *the two friends hi-five, then leave the scene*
Scene 2
*night time, shady part of town. F1 is walking around alone*
F1: *shivering* I really should’ve put a coat on. Before I came out to look for
something I don’t even believe in. Actually, why the hell am I even out here? As
I just said, I don’t even believe in what I’m looking for. But here I am, I’ve been
out here for AN HOUR, scouring the worst part of town, looking for- *a cat
3. hisses* Oh, God! *runs away from the sound of the hissing cat for a few
seconds*
F1: The hell was-? Oh, it’s just a cat. *the cat meows* No, I don’t have anything
for you to eat. Go away. *the cat presumably doesn’t* I said GO AWAY. PISS
OFF. *sigh* Well that was creepy, but still. No vampire or werewolf. Because
that would’ve been really bad. *phone vibration* Hm? *sigh* Uhh... *begins
typing on phone* Hey Mum, I just went out to browse some games at the shop
that just opened. Will be back in 10. And send. Alright. Now to get out of here.
Any excuse to leave is a damn good one in my book. *he walks away*
Scene 3
*school scene the next day. F1 and F2 encounter each other again*
F2: Well, look who it is. It's Mr. Vampire Hunter.
F1: Oh, shut up. I didn't find any vampire or werewolf, by the way.
F2: Damn it. You sure?
F1: Yes, I'm sure. You need a hearing aid?
F2: No, no, I'm pretty sure I don't. But...
F1: But what?
F2: I'm not too sure that you're being entirely truthful.
F1: I will literally punch you if you don’t take that back right now.
F2: Hey, hey, no need to be aggressive. But you have to admit, you're not always
truthful when it comes to doing things, compared to saying you did them. I
mean how do I know you didn't just stay home on your butt all night playing
Smash Bros?
F1: *growls*
F2: Or watching One Punch Man?
F1: I'm warning you...
F2: Or having a nice long night with your body pil-
F1: Okay, okay, I get it. You don't.
F2: Exactly. So I propose we go out together. Tonight. The two of us.
4. F1: And you didn’t suggest this yesterday why?
F2: ... ... ...I was busy. *F1 slaps him* Ow, that hurt!
F1: So did that terrible excuse. But sure. Let's go out tonight. See you then.
F2: See you. *the two friends walk away as the bell rings*
Scene 4
*night time again. F1 and F2 are walking around together*
F1: I really did come down here, you know.
F2: Yes, but it doesn’t hurt to be thorough, now does it?
F1: I guess not.
F2: Damn right. Now let's keep moving. *they keep walking for a while*
F2: So where exactly did you search again?
F1: I told you before we got here! I searched around everywhere around here.
Down Snake Road over there, down Child's Avenue over on the left, and-
F2: Albion Road?
F1: Uhh...
F2: We're going down there. *they continue walking*
F1: Woah! *he almost trips over something*
F2: You alright?
F1: Yeah, I just nearly tripped over something.
F2: Ahh. Right. *he looks down* Oh.
F1: What?
F2: Look... down. *F1 looks down*
F1: Ooh. Oh God. Oh dear.
F2: It's a... corpse. Looks fresh, too.
F1: And definitely not like it's been mauled by a vampire or werewolf.
F2: What... makes you say that?
5. F1: Well... behind you. *the only thing that can be heard is the sound of a sword
being unsheathed*
