FIVE – 6 PANELS.
5.1
Looking
down into a monstrously large cavern in the Alaskan wilderness. A group of five
occultists stand around a large
eight-foot long slab of misty ice in a star formation, the member at the head
of the ice holds a black and twisted dagger in hand
Each
member of the group wears a long black robe with a hood; the hoods are all up
and cover their faces. They hold their arms outstretched as they chant.
OCCULTISTS:
Consurge.
Consurge.
5.2
We
pull back; still looking down on the scene at hand, however now we see PATSY
WALKER, in her HELLCAT outfit, is watching the scene from a ledge above the
cavern. Her outfit has fur trim on the collar and cuffs (Think NiteOwl from the
Antarctica scene in Watchmen.)
HELLCAT:
These
Occultists are always such clichés. I mean robes and Latin. Come on guys.
OCCULTISTS:
(Small)
Consurge.
Consurge.
5.3
Close
up on the head occultist as he raises the black dagger high above his head,
clasping at its hilt with both hands, its twisted blade pointing down.
HEAD
OCCULTIST: (Large)
Vos
surget.
5.4
The
dagger sticks out of the ice. Its blade half buried into the deep ice. Three
void like black eyes, in a triangle shape, shimmer under the surface of the
ice.
SFX:
Beep

5.5
Cut
back to Hellcat looking down on the scene. The occultists have all stepped back
from the slab of ice and are looking up towards Hellcat and pointing, her cell
phone kind of giving her away.
The
slab of ice has now begun to crack open. Dark purple and red auras radiate from
the ice. Hellcat can see that this is some old school dark magic way over the
head of some Occultists.
HEAD
OCCULTIST:
The
ritual has been tainted by this foul she devil.
5.6
Tight
shot on Hellcat as she grabs her cell phone from her costume pocket.
HELLCAT:
No
reception in my apartment, but here
I get a text.
HA! I say HA! Mysterious, exciting, and yet incredibly relatable.
ReplyDeletePatsy must have Sprint...
Should have set her phone to silent mode. :^b
ReplyDeleteGreat page Shaun. Bit of a Whedon vibe to your writing here - undermining the clichés with Patsy's personality.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian; very Whedonesque. Love the phone joke.
ReplyDeleteWow guys thanks so much for all the kind feedback. Using Whedon in reference to my writing is enough motivation to carry on writing forever. You are all far to kind.
