After jumping from Tenzan pass:
[Black screen.]
???? (Viktor):
"This punk is a waste of time... I wonder where he came from. Hey you! Wake up already! I'll throw ya in the river again!"
[Fade into scene beside river. Viktor and two mercenary soldiers
stand looking down at Riou (the Hero) who is laying on the ground.
Riou shakes his head, gets up, sees the men and sweattles.
(Sweattles=the animated cloud of little sweat drops as opposed to
the one big sweat drop.)]
???? (Viktor):
"So you're finally awake? Hey, can you say your name?"
Riou:
[x] "..............."
[ ] "I'm Riou."
???? (Viktor):
"Not answering questions, huh! Well, anyway, what the hell were you doing in the river? Did you slip?"
Riou:
[ ] "We were ambushed by the State Army..."
[x] "We were attacked by the State Army, but..."
???? (Viktor):
"State Army? What are you talking about? We just signed a peace agreement. I can't believe it... huh? Are you a Highlander?"
Riou:
[x] "Highland Royal Army. Unicorn Brigade."
[ ] "No, I'm not."
???? (Viktor):
"I see. So you and I are enemies. I'm Viktor, leader of the Mercenary Army and friend of The City-State of Jowston."
[Riou jumps back slightly from Viktor. Flik enters the scene.]
???? (Flik):
"Viktor. Are you having fun picking on that poor kid?"
[Viktor steps back and jumps at Flik's question.]
Viktor:
"What are you talking about, Flik? I wouldn't do that... I'm a nice guy. But anyway, what happened to the other one?"
[Exclamation point goes off over Riou's head.]
Flik:
"It's no good. We lost sight of him. I hope he made it..."
Viktor:
"Too bad... Okay, listen up. Whoever you are, you're gonna be my personal guest for a while. You may not find the accommodations too comfortable, though. Don't look so worried. We're not going to eat you or anything. Okay, let's go back to the fort."
[Off they go. They enter the fort. Flik and Viktor take Riou to a
cell/storage area.]
Viktor:
"This'll be your room for awhile. It's small and not too comfortable but you'll have to live with it since you're prisoner."
[Viktor and Flik leave.]
Viktor (off-screen):
"It gets pretty cold at night, so try to bundle up."
With what? The burlap on those crates?
[Fade to black. Next day. A soldier, Pohl, opens the cell door.]
Pohl:
"Good morning! So you're the one they brought in last night? Huh?
You're just a kid... I'm Pohl. I'm going to watch out for you.
After breakfast you're going to do some work for us. After all, no
work no eat."
[Fade to scene in storage room.]
Pohl:
"Okay, um what was your name? Oh yeah, Riou. Anyway look at this
place. People around here are so lazy. The boss is no exception
either."
[There's more Pohl giving Riou instructions, but I'm skipping it.
Riou does his work and reports back to Pohl. Then it's time for
supper. My, the day goes fast, doesn't it? Back in his cell, Riou
is eating food from a tray. There's a blue place mat/tablecloth
under the tray. Pohl's there, too.]
Pohl:
"I'm sorry. This is all we've got. Rations have been tight lately."
[Fade to next day. Pohl's got an "important" errand for Riou. I'm
going to include a few of the things the people of the fort say
to Riou.]
Random soldier:
"The war's over, you would think we wouldn't need weapons.... The
look on Viktor's face has really got me worried."
Maid in Flik's room:
"Ha ha... This is Flik's room. It has to be spotless."
Soldier near door of meeting room:
"Oh? A new face. How is it? Do you like this place? Flik's a little scary but he's pretty nice. And Viktor.... Well, what you see is what you get."
Viktor (standing in his room):
"Huh? You're helping out? Thanks. Work hard, okay."
Flik (in the meeting room, standing looking out the window):
"Riou.... wasn't it? Sorry we couldn't save your friend."
--
Soldier at the desk in the meeting room:
"Grrrr.... I just can't make ends meet. Peace just doesn't pay."
Flik:
"Hey! It doesn't have to."
Soldier at the desk:
"Well I guess so...."
--
Leona:
"You want something from me, kid? Ho ho... come back in a few years and I'll be happy to teach you some things."
Now, I think Leona is scary...
Soldier (sitting at a table in the 'tavern'):
"You guys? You're the kids Viktor picked up?"
Ah, that'd be "kid." (Anyone else wonder exactly what Pohl was
planning to do with boots, flint, and flour? Sounds like boots are
for dinner...)
[Riou, Gengen and Tuta get set for their little flour-fetching
adventure to Ryube.]
--
Soldier standing outside of the fort:
"Hey you! Take a look at that over there."
[Screen scrolls to display the fort's flag.]
Soldier:
What do you think? It's a bear flag that Viktor sewed
himself."
--
[Off to Ryube and back again. Fade to next day--whee, more chores.
Time to wander about making the floor squeaky clean.]
Pohl:
"Wow, the floor looks great. You've got talent."
Riou:
[x] "Of course!"
[ ] "It's my talent..."
Pohl:
"Ha! I like you. You have spirit. Okay, today's chores are done. About that oily rag... well, just toss it out somewhere. C'mon, let's have supper."
[Fade to cell. Riou's eating.]
Pohl:
"Great job, you must be pretty tired. Ha ha, you're an interesting kid."
[Fade to black.]
Voice of a mercenary soldier:
"Hey it looks like somebody snuck in here!!"
[Fade to Riou in his cell. Pohl jumps up and runs off.]
Jowy (off-screen):
"Riou! If you're here, answer me! Riou!!!"
Riou:
[x] "I'm here Jowy!!!"
[ ] "...................."
[Jowy runs in.]
Jowy:
"Riou.... Th... thank God. I'm going to get you out of here."
[Jowy whacks the door with his staff.]
Jowy:
"Are you okay? I'm so relieved. Let's get out of here before the soldiers come."
[They run up the stairs and into Flik, Viktor and four soldiers.]
Flik:
"Okay. That's far enough. Give yourselves up before you make us adults mad."
Jowy:
"We... we're outnumbered."
Riou:
[ ] "Let's bust through!"
[x] ".... I understand."
Flik:
"Now you can start by telling me who you are."
[Fade to meeting room. Flik and Viktor stand on one side of the
table. Jowy and Riou stand on the other. Two soldiers are behind
the boys.]
Viktor:
"Okay, we'll start with your name."
Jowy:
"Jowy... Jowy Atreides."
Viktor:
"Jowy. Okay. Since you came to rescue Riou, can I assume you're
also a Highlander?"
Jowy:
"That's right."
Flik:
"I see... you're the other one... the one we lost in the river."
Viktor:
"Now that you mention it, I never did hear how you managed to wind
up in that mess."
Jowy:
"Well that's...."
Viktor:
"Riou said something about a 'surprise attack by the State', but the
State Army hasn't moved since the peace treaty was signed. So what
the hell happened?"
Riou:
[x] "The truth is...."
[ ] "I can't say."
[Fade to black. Fade back to same scene.]
Viktor:
"Uh oh. This doesn't sound good. Luca Blight.... I've heard of him
but... Anyway, what were you planning to do after you rescued
Riou?"
Jowy:
"After I rescued Riou, I was planning to go back to Kyaro Town with
him."
Flik:
"So are you still planning on trying to escape?"
Jowy:
"Yes."
[Viktor paces a bit.]
Viktor:
"Hmph. Well you can just stay put in the cell for a while. We'll
give you food and a place to sleep."
[Fade to Jowy and Riou in the cell.]
Jowy:
"Sorry... I couldn't rescue you after all... After that, I woke up
in a village named Toto. I'd been found by a little girl who
brought me back to her home where they mended my wounds. I heard a
rumor that a young man was being held prisoner here and so I came to
save you... sorry."
[Fade to black. Fade to cell again. Riou and Jowy are eating.
Pohl is there.]
Pohl:
"Sorry. I know this food isn't too good, but try to eat it all.
Riou, I don't blame you for trying to escape, but please don't do it
again. The boss will let you out of here soon enough."
Jowy:
"Excuse me? Could I please have a spoon."
Pohl:
"A spoon? For your soup? Aren't we the fine nobleman. Wait a
minute. I'll get you one."
So, it's not pretentious to give prisoners place mats, but spoons
are.
[Pohl leaves. Fade to black. Fade to same
scene. Riou looks over at Jowy, then returns to eating. After a
moment Jowy looks at him.]
Jowy:
"Riou..... Do you... want my carrots?
[Riou blinks.]
