I'm using the screenplay format actually...but I think sitcom is almost the same...I don't know.

((Um... I typically default to the Screnzy website about these things. All TV/Movie stuff basically follows the same format, I believe, the thing that changes with genre of TV show is just what's included in it... i.e. is there a teaser type thing at the beginning, etc. Sixth Floor qualifies as drama in my book, as far as that goes.))

Yes, it is a drama, but the only TV show thing that Zhura has is sitcom.

The only difference between Screenplay and sitcom is that in sitcom the characters lines are double spaced, so you can use either and when I put it all into context as one finished episode I'll figure out which one we should technically be using. So...use either, or type it here as outlined in the formatting post located right before the teaser. Thank you for your diligence in formatting! *ahem, now about those interviews, I believe the order is something like: Scoot Ripley Irene Riven/Daniel (don't remember which was first) Opal So...go team go!

Aw, Scoot, why would you do that? :c And Lori, would you like me to email you Opal's interview or something? Or should I just post it when my turn comes?

ell, I'm planning on splicing things in and editing the interviews a touch, so they play out like in Firefly, I can't remember the episode title right now...So the order doesn't matter too much. They're all being done seperately, and I had invisioned that they're all done at the same time with different scientists, and Mack is going back and forth between the rooms...I know that isn't how we did it, but since we're writing it, and so far from when we did do it, I think those things can change around a bit...So, what I'm saying is for the interviews at least, post yours when you can. Then we can set up an official order when we start writing the rest of it. If thats alright with you guys...

((Toast fine with me. ^^ Here 'tis. It's not in screenplay format, though, I can change that if you want me to. Also, I dunno if we want to keep Philip or not?))
Opal: (slowly opens eyes) (as she sees Mack, she jerks awake; discovers her wrists are strapped to the chair and starts freaking out) Wh-where am I?! Mack: It’s okay – you’re safe. Opal: (looking around frantically, recognizing the look of the room) N-no – no, nobody’s safe here… (to Mack) Where’s Zeke?! Mack: Just calm down, Opal; Zeke is in a different facility, don’t worry about him. I need you to answer some questions. Opal: … If I do, will you promise not to hurt him? Mack: Yes. Opal: … Alright. Can I… can I close my eyes? Mack: Of course. (Opal does; Mack goes over to a table and picks up a needle) Do you want some sedative? Opal: (nods) Mack: (bends next to her and slides the needle into her arm; Opal flinches a little) That’s right… you remember. You’re the control, just like before. Opal: (takes a shaky breath, relaxing just slightly in the chair) Philip: Alright, Opal. How do you know Zeke? Opal: We… live together. We’re trying to find a cure to the disease. Phillip: And how is that going? Opal: (silent) Mack: (with a snort of laughter) Oh, they’re not even close. (to Opal) You’re not even close. Phillip: (glances at Mack, irritated) Mmhm. (to Opal) Could you tell me a little about the Christmas party? Opal: (looks uncomfortable at the mere mention) Well… we had friends over. And Zeke… apparently hadn’t eaten in a few days. So, some time in the early morning, he started… he had an… ‘episode’. We were snowed in, and the sun was coming up, so none of us could leave. A lot of it was just… talking, but he did hurt somebody. He would’ve done more, but we managed to get some food in him. Mack: (to Phillip) You should ask her about Borneo. Phillip: … (continuing to be irritated) Okay then – Opal, would you care to tell me about Borneo? Opal: (eyebrows creased; a small moan) Oh… Borneo… we were living in a small village in the Indonesian quarter, doing research and trying to lie low. And one day… it was the worst I’ve ever seen him. Something was different; something set him off, and then he just went block by block through the town, killing everyone he set eyes on. I couldn’t do anything, he just… (trails off, upset) Phillip: So these ‘episodes’ – they’re caused by him not eating. Opal: … Usually. Phillip: Tell me, how do you usually recall him to himself when he gets like this? Opal: (silent) Mack: (bluntly) She lets him throw her around for a while ‘till he wears himself out. (to Opal) Why do you do it, Opal? Why put up with it? Opal: (still silent, opens her eyes, still doesn’t look at Mack) Mack: Do you love him, Opal? Opal: (struggles to answer through tears) Mack: Do you? Opal: Yes. Mack: That’s good. He loves you too, you know. (Opal looks away) He does, he talks about it all the time when you aren't home. Opal: No, he... Mack: He’s written you plenty of songs too. Some of them are pretty good. I'll burn you a CD. Opal: No. He... doesn't, he – Mack: But he does. I have it on tape. (briefly pauses) It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. He writes secret songs, you design secret wedding dresses. Those were beautiful, Opal. Whatever did you do with them? Opal: (embarrassed, a brief pause) I ripped them up. Mack: What? Opal: They were silly. Mack: They were beautiful, he would have loved the second one. Opal: No... it was... Mack: You really do love him. Opal: Yes. Mack: Do you think you can cure him by loving him? Opal: (can't quite answer, but we all know what she's thinking) Mack: (standing to leave) You can't. Opal: (silently cries, shaking her head slightly.)

Phillip is a dilemma. He really was a very good device- there definitely has to be a Phillip figure, or the whole breakdown with Daniel can't play out the way it needs to.

Well, just because Justin won't be around to play him doesn't mean we have to get rid of the character. We can change his name if y'all want to, but I'm fine with just keeping him.

It is a necessary role and I don't think it's a big deal that we keep him. I say just change the name and call it good.
