Kate and Frank continue running down several more streets and finally make their way out of town. They run a little ways farther, just to be on the safe side, and then slow to a walk...
KATE: Some nice work with that clothesline Frank, almost nice enough to redeem yourself for getting us lost. FRANK: We were not lost. KATE: I count dead ends as lost. FRANK: We weren't lost. KATE: Then what were we? Enlighten me. FRANK: We were simply misplaced. We knew where we were, it just wasn't where we wanted to be. KATE: I hold that we did not know where we were. FRANK: I knew where we were. KATE: And where was that? FRANK: We were in a dark alley which ended shortly off of High street. KATE: Thank you for that wonderful vision, its all clear to me now. FRANK: Shhh...<<points to a duo sleeping at the foot of a tree>>
They stop for a moment and examine the duo (OOC: I think you know who they are!)
FRANK: Do we know them? KATE: I don't think so. FRANK: They seem to be carrying a lot, KATE: I think we should ease their burden.
They set to it, taking several things from them, money and the like. Kate considers Caprice for a moment,
KATE: Frank, what do you think shes holding?
Frank steps away from Gicamo and considers her a moment. Caprice is clutching the compass and stone tightly, the compass out of sight.
FRANK: Looks like a rock. KATE: (disappointed) Thats what I thought. FRANK: Lets go, I think this ones a light sleeper. KATE: Alright <<Looks at Caprice again>> Yeah, lets go.
Kate pulls the Rod from its home on her belt and holds it out. Frank takes it in his hand as well. Kate says a couple of words and pushes a button on the top. A blue flash of light and a soft hissing sound and they vanish into the night...
(There you go, sorry if the lost vs. misplaced dialogue drags a bit...but I like it a lot.)

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!

Lio: Water skiing? *Runs towards the boat* Hey Boss, count me in!
OOC: How do you know Boss?
Lio: Because I'm part of your psyche and you know Boss.
OOC: Alrighty then...you freak me out sometimes.
Nate: *stands board up in the sand near Finn* I'm always up for jammin'. *begins playing on djembe*
Max: *Dusts himself off* ... sometimes I think my life is a crew bonding excersize... *runs to catch up with crew*
OOC: What part of your story line are you in?
Max: Well, Molly and Tucker are over there...so I'm assuming we're in the happy part. *gestures at Star and Missy's sand castle*
Star: Oh K'ian, slow down! don't step on ... the wall.
*Molly and Tucker walk up to Missy's side holding hands*
Molly: What are you doing?
Missy: Building a castle.
Tucker: I saw a castle once. In 18th century England.
Missy: Did you now?
Tucker and Molly proceed to tell Missy about their family vacation to England...
OOC: You two are so cute!
Deuce: *Brushes sand off key board* How do you people talk me into this...
Zeke: A nap on the couch.
Rika and Castille walk into the growing crowd of pirates:
Castille: So your ship restores itself after it sinks?
Rika: Only if it was on fire first, its a pheonix, rises from the ashes.
Charles: (looking rather swanky and in a surprisingly good mood) Don't thank him yet.
Jimmy: *Walks onto the scene, takes jacket off, hangs it on a pole, pulls a comb out of his pocket, runs it through his hair, replaces comb, and walks toward Ladybug*
Kate: (Running up behind Frank) What happened to sticking together huh? Do you know how many of them were back there?
OOC: Praise the lamb I finished that. That took so long. I love it though.

I believe so too. I like it that way bc in the final version we can sut in to little bits of his testing as well as Zeke's...I have some nice sadistic ideas in my head actually...but we'll get to that later...So yeah, it was either Scoot or Ripley...I don't reall remember...

Maddie suggested a Pantheon section of the website...I think it might be nice. If we started a Pantheon board and just put all of our private pantheon threads there...Just for organization sake. I think our dear Arshley would have to do that, but I just thought I'd let y'all know I think its a good idea.

...Just so you all know, I'm working on some plot line for this to work...I'm just distracted by my screnzy characters...so it might be a bit...I'm sure you aren't too worried about it, just like to keep people updated.

Now...since Im the over achiever whos already started this...heres the teaser:
AREA 53 PART ONE – INTERVIEWS WITH VAMPIRES
FROM BLACK
INT. - MACK'S APARTMENT – NIGHT
MACK is seated at her computer screen, a cup of coffee and a half eaten donut on the right hand side, a SCIENTIST is pictured on the screen.
SCIENTIST Doctor Mackenzie last name I presume?
MACK You got it.
SCIENTIST I understand that you have some experience with the whatever its called Project.
MACK Well, I started it, does that count?
SCIENTIST Yes. You said you had interesting information for us?
MACK I do.
SCIENTIST What is it?
MACK An escapee.
SCIENTIST We haven't had any escapees for quite some time Doctor..
MACK This one escaped in America. 20 years ago.
SCIENTIST 20 years...thats impossible. Even with the most primitive versions none of them ever survived more than a month.
MACK This one has. Hes quite extraordinary.
SCIENTIST How are you connected to him?
MACK I've been stalking him for a decade and a half. And I am in regular contact.
SCIENTIST How regular?
MACK Almost daily. But I hardly think thats important.
SCIENTIST How much can you tell us?
MACK About what?
SCIENTIST About the escaped subject.
MACK Could you be more specific?
SCIENTIST (V.O.) How do we find him?
EXT. STREET – NIGHT
Zeke is leading a youngish woman out of a semi-crowded bar.
MACK (V.O.) I can tell you exactly where he is.
EXT. STREET – NIGHT Zeke is accosted by two SCIENTISTS, a gas mask is jammed over his face and he collapses. They drag him off.
INT. MACK'S APARTMENT – NIGHT
SCIENTIST (on screen) Is he connected to anyone in the area?
MACK (V.O.) You could say that.
EXT. STREET – NIGHT
OPAL is waiting in the light of a street lamp, checks her watch, apparently waiting for someone, two SETS OF HANDS appear and drag her out of the light.
INT. MACKS APARTMENT – NIGHT
She takes a drink of the coffee and considers the donut.
MACK cont'd (V.O.) I could give you names, full physical descriptions, partial or complete histories, depending on which one you're talking about, addresses, love interests, and in some cases their favorite color.
During that line we see Ripley taken from back stage and Daniel taken from the apartment. Irene is seen hailing a cab and is roughly pulled in.
INT. MACK'S APARTMENT – NIGHT SCIENTIST I'm assuming you want something in return?
MACK Of course I do. What kind of person gives something for nothing?
SCIENTIST (obviously tired of talking to her) What do you want?
MACK (V.O.) I want complete access to all your data, and use of your facilities for as long as you hold them in your custody. And I want charge of their case.
INT. RIVEN AND SCOOTS APARTMENT Riven and Scoot are sleeping on the couch, (I guess this'll work) several SCIENTISTS come in and take them, they do the gas mask thing too...I think Lyndel came up with something better...
SCIENTIST (V.O.) I suppose that isn't too unreasonable.
INT. MACKS APARTMENT - NIGHT
MACK (considering her empty cup) And coffee. I'll need coffee.
END OF TEASER
I have like 17 more pages written...but I figure I can just post those bits in if things slow down or if we need a jumpstart. Most of what I have written are Zeke's bits anyways. So now y'all get to write your interviews. So those of you who already wrote them in a timely manner are ahead of the game. Also, I think its alright for posts to run long in this instance, since some of the interviews were pretty intense, and some of the dialogue bits were really long and would be best written by one author...so just gauge it as you will...and write away!!

Larighty, since Im the over achiever who already started this...I'll give you a mammoth post to start things off. Heres the teaser:
...actually heres a note about formatting.
Since Sixth floor is a TV show and all, I would like to format it relatively close to one so that I can shove it into Zhura and make it look all profesh. If we type it right then it'll work really easily. I'm not gonna be a nazi if you guys don't wanna do it this way, just really appreciative if you do. alright so hers how I would suggest it.
when a new scene starts, or a location changes you write a "Scene Heading" these are CAPITALIZED and tell you if we are inside (INT.) or outside (EXT.) then say the name of the location and then the time of day. example: INT. MACKS APARTMENT - DAY
Then the format is like this: An action block is typed in the present tense and try to be as active as you can.
always skip a line between things.
CHARACTER NAMES ARE CAPITALIZED (action that happens while speaking such as, angrily, or punches wall go in parenthesis) skip to the next line and write the dialogue.
then skip a line and you can start a new CHARACTER or action block here.
Simple simple...so yeah, if you want to make my life easier then format it that way...if you con't want to do it then don't. Also, use full names when you write who is speaking, ex. write RIVEN not RIV. But I'm not gonna reprimand you or anything...so thats it for formatting.
