Today...

I forgot I had a doodle blog. Whoops!

I also didn't get a chance to draw anything. Double whoops!

So, I'm a little bit at a loss as to what to post. In the end, I thought you might like my Screenwriting homework.

A little backstory. The Guardian is the story of a boy who wakes up to find he has wings. This is two years after he finds out that he can fully recover from any wound in a matter of seconds with no scarring. He lives in a pretty normal universe, so this freaks him out a lot, to say the least. Before he can fully cope with his problems, a mysterious supervillain shows up and starts causing terror. With everyone else powerless to stop him, it's up to the boy--Sydney--to save the day.

This scene would occur... around the early middle of the story, I think. Our writing assignment was just "write a scene," it didn't specify where that scene needed to fall. Sydney and his partner-in-crime-fighting, Ruby, are meeting with a detective and Ruby's former co-worker, Roy Howard. Please forgive any crappiness here. It had to be between 100 and 125 words, which is really nothing when it comes down to it.

EXT. BRYANT PARK - DAY

ROY is sitting at one of the tables scattered around Bryant Park. He seems rather nervous about the ordeal, glancing at his watch, then at the surrounding area, then back to his watch. Finally, he catches sight of SYDNEY and RUBY. He smiles and waves half-heartedly and the two enter the frame.

RUBY
It's good to see you, Roy.

ROY
Likewise. How's the apartment working out?

RUBY
It's great. Really. Sydney and I - we owe you a ot.

ROY
(Distracted, not even looking at RUBY or SYDNEY)
It's nothing, really...

A beat.

RUBY
(Grave)
What's wrong?

Roy suddenly turns back to the table, but looks down as he speaks.

ROY
(Fast)
I think - we caught someone today. Nothing big, just some kid with no experience. He broke down real fast when we brought him in; started telling us all this stuff - he knew a lot about the underworld, it seemed. Mentioned a group of superhumans in one of the seedier areas... a place we haven't checked, yet.

RUBY
Do you think it's -

As she's speaking, SYNDEY holds up a page from his notepad. On it is written "7?" RUBY glances over at the sheet, stops talking, and ends by half-heartedly pointing to the sheet.

ROY
If the kid's telling the truth... more than likely.

A beat.

ROY
They want to send in a few officers soon. I'm trying to convince them not to, but... you know how that is.

RUBY
Well -

SYDNEY has already written another note and pushed it to ROY. He reads it; it says "WE'LL GO FIRST." He looks back up and SYDNEY and RUBY, smiling.

ROY
You're right to the point as usual. Thank you.

NOTE: This is my first time typing it up... now that it is, I find it's approximately three times longer than the length asked for. Dammit. Hope it's acceptable.
