My first script for my screen writing class


INT. AFTERNOON.


Mark Anderson sits in front of his computer playing an online computer video game. Snack wrappers and empty drink bottles are strewn all over his room. Mark is a thin young man. Glasses, frail and nerdy looking. He is frustrated and looks at his screen intently. He speaks into the computer mic.


Mark

Aw c'mon! Didja see that?

Bravogator's voice comes over Mark's speakers.

Bravogator (vo)

yea man. you got ripped. you had that ogre!

BRAVOGATOR (VO)

Let me know when you get back to your body and we will tag team that bitch.

MARK

Ok. Wait. I need to bio first then we will school all of them!

BRAVOGATOR (VO)

ok. Just holler.

Mark leans in and types the words BRB. After he walks out of the room, gets a message on his screen. Puttytatt has logged in. -Hey baby. What you doing?- comes across in a small chat box on his screen.


Mark re-enters the room. He smiles at seeing Puttytatt's greeting. He types back -Hey sweetness. About to hit up the ogre mines. What are you doing?-


Puttytatt resonds -Just got home. Work was rough. Looking for some game time. Ok babe. We still gonna run that dungeon?-


Mark types back - Yea. I want to finish this first. If that is ok?-


He smiles as Puttytatt's response comes in - Ok. I need to do my dailies so send me a msg when your done. OK?


He types back -OK- to Puttytatt


MARK

OK. 'gator. Im back, let's so this thing!.


INT. later than night. Mark's computer room.


We see Mark at his computer. Two freshly cooked burritoes and an un opened drink bottle sit next to his computer. He stares intently at his screen.


We zoom over Mark's shoulder as he takes a bite out of his burritoe. His computer screen fills up the scene. We see his online persona sitting next to a tree. He is dark haired and muscular. He sits there shirtless. Puttytatt comes into screen riding a unicorn. She sits next to him. -Kiss- enters in his chat screen. he types -kiss- in return. All dialog shows as chat bubbles on screen.


Bottlecap

How was your day babe?

PUTTYTATT

Harsh. I got stiffed on tips at work and a buncha noobs screwed up two of my dailies.

BOTTLECAP

You wanna go school those noobs? Show them how the leet do it?

PUTTYTATT

Nah. I am so over it. I just want to chill out with you. We got some good drops from the dungeon. I been wanting that neck piece since the update come out.

BOTTLECAP

Thats a nice drop too. I am so glad you got it. It has a three percent drop rate. We got lucky!

PUTTYTATT

LOL. YAY!

BOTTLECAP

Ya know..I been thinkin. We have been adventuring together for a few months now. I want to take it to the next level.

PUTTYTATT

Level what? We are both at the level cap.

BOTTLECAP

No. LOL. I mean go on date. A real date.

PUTTYTATT

A date? What?

BOTTLECAP

Yea. I really like you. You can handle yourself in ANY dungeon. I mean..we are practically dating now. We go to every dungeon and quest with each other. We make a good team. We are great together.

PUTTYTATT

Well...I dont know.

BOTTLECAP

Look I know I am not the smartest warrior and I dont have all epic gear. But..Id never leave you. I know what love is.

PUTTYTATT

Fine. Beat me on one on one combat and we will go out. I need to know that you can handle yourself.

BOTTLECAP

But your a mage. Im a warrior. Thats not right. I would kill you in like two hits.

PUTTYTATT

Then what have you got to lose? Are you afraid to be pwned by a girl mage?

BOTTLECAP

LOL. NOT! ok. Lets go.


Both Bottlecap and Puttytatt stand up and draw their weapons. Bottlecap charges in and scores a hit one Puttytatt and she hits back with a spell. Damage numbers rise above their heads. Bottlecap swings again. A special move and misses his target. Puttytatt casts a fire spell. Bottlecap falls.


Mark

DAMMIT!

BOTTLECAP

Damn babe your good!

PUTTYTATT

Sorry Bottlecap. I need a real man. Nice knowing ya. Maybe you can try again when you get better gear.


Puttytatt rides off on her unicorn.


We zoom out from the computer screen. Mark Throws his arms over his a head and screams.


MARK

What the fuck?!?


Mark exits the game and turns off the computer.


Fade out

My digital writing class is over. I have been thinking about what to do with it.. keep it? or delete it? I am not a blogger. I never even kept a journal of any sort.

I finally decided to keep it. I am going to use this space to put my various writings and random ideas. A sort of creative release.
