The Long Walk

Today i've got the first draft of the first episode of a machinema that i'm planning on creating. I need to find the staff and cameraman, but it looks promising at least Other than that.

Episode 1

Scene 1
TYRION opens his eyes. He’s lying on the top of a building in nothing but his pants. He sits up massages his head and looks out to find out where he is.
Establishing shot of Booty Bay. The Boat is leaving the harbour.

TYRION:
Oh crap…

Action cuts between flashbacks of the night before, TYRION’s Bachelor party, and TYRION running to get to the boat.
He’s too late, and stands alone on the edge of the peer.

TYRION:
No…

He turns and looks at the buildings of booty bay.

TYRION:
Odana is not ever going to believe this…

Cut scene.

Scene 2
ODANA is sitting in a high backed char surrounded by hand maidens.

ODANA:
They’ll be ok, right?

HANDMAIDEN#1:
Of course ODANA, your brother is a responsible elf. And they should be on their way back soon.

HANDMAIDEN#2:
Yes of course. I’m sure he’ll get your fiancée back safe and sound.

ODANA:
I hope so…It’s just, I’m sure it’s nothing. He’s fine.

Cut to TYRION.

TYRION:
This is so not cool. [He’s wearing a dress.] I feel so, exposed! [its an open back dress]

BARMAN:
Hey, it’s all you’re gonna get for free. Now start servin’ or I’ll take it back!

TYRION:
This is ridiculous, can’t I just give you an IOU?

BARMAN:
So you had all your stuff nicked AMBASSADOR ASHFIELD (KAN: [looks up from the corner of the bar] ASHFIELD?), but wadda ya wan’ me to do abowd it? You either wear the dress or cough up some scratch.

KAN:
[Appears behind TYRION] He sexy, how much?

BARMAN:
He’s 50g. You like?

TYRION:
Hey, what?!

KAN:
Here, give him some male cloths. You, come to my table when you’re changed.

Cut to TYRION sitting at KAN’s table.

TYRION:
Thanks. Whoever you are. You really saved my ass back there.

KAN:
[smiles] I’m Kan. You ass can pay me when I get it safely back to Darnassus.

TYRION:
Cool- how did you know about Darnassus?

KAN:
Sugar, everyone in the bay knows about Darnassus. You’re getting married to Princess ODANA right?

Show short clip of TYRION running round with a strange costume on, shouting “I’m marrying Odana! Yeah!! She’s so god damn hot!”

I thought it was so sweet when you were blabbering on how you didn’t deserve her, and you had no idea why she loved you. It touched me. [sarcastically said]

TYRION:
So that’s why you’re helping me then? I should try touching people more often.

KAN:
Maybe you should sugar. So why were you in Booty Bay for a bachelor party? Surely it would be more sensible to have it in somewhere like Stormwind?

TYRION:
Well, I didn’t really plan it. I was kidnapped and then I was on a boat.

KAN:
You should watch your back more, Night Elves are really sneaky.

TYRION:
What about you?

KAN:
Oh, I have my own fair share of sneakiness sugar.

TYRION:
Right, well, all this has been great, but I really need to get back, got a wedding to attend. How about you just drop by Darnassus some time and I’ll pay you back? [Starts walking to the door]

KAN:
I don’t think you understood: “Just pay me when I get you back to Darnassus.” You are going to pay me for bodyguard services.

TYRION:
For a boat ride? I’ll be ok.

KAN:
What boat?

TYRION:
What?! [looks out the door to the dock] Yeah, nice one, there’s a boat in the dock.

KAN:
I see, so how are you going to pay for it?

TYRION:
Don’t worry about me, I’ll work something out. [leaves and walks down to the boat.]

Cut scene

Scene 3
Tyrion walks up to the sea captain who is standing in front of the boat.

TYRION:
Excuse me good sir, but might you me travelling to the fair city of Darnassus?

CAPTAIN:
Yar. That I be. How can I help ye there my lord?

TYRION:
I need to acquire myself passage on your vessel.

CAPTAIN:
Interesting, and why would an upright, like yerself, want to ride on my particular ship. There was a cruise vessel that left, not under an hour before, yar.

TYRION:
That, my good man, is not of your concern. How much would it cost to take me to Darnassus?

CAPTAIN:
You be lookin at 500g for this particular travel.

TYRION:
500! Are you serious?

CAPTAIN:
10 fer the trip. 490 for the protection costs.

TYRION:
That’s ridiculous, there aren’t any pirate ships in any elven waters, why would you need protection.

CAPTAIN:
Oh I think there might be one my lord, hur hur hur…

TYRION:
Well, one’s not anything to worry about. How about you lower the cost? I’m sure an able captain as you will be fine against one ship.

CAPTAIN:
Oh I’m not worried about running into a pirate ship my lord, rather the Elven warships. They leave nasty holes in my beautiful galleon.

TYRION:
This is ridiculous. Fine ill pay, I was saving up for an epic mount but…When can we leave?

CAPTAIN:
We leave in an hour, but I need the money up front.

TYRION:
Ok, that…I can do!

Cut to Tyrion pleading with Kan.

TYRION:
Please!!!!

KAN:
No, why should I give you anything? You’ve stolen my clothes, walked out on me during lunch, and you refused my protection. Now you want to go and hand over money and your life to a pirate.

TYRION:
Please! I really need this! Pirate?

KAN:
Yeah! The captain is a pirate. How did you not notice? [show clip of the entire crew wearing pirate outfits. They stop what they’re doing, turn and wave.]

TYRION:
Oh…

KAN:
He just wanted your money you idiot. He was going to kill you as soon as you’d left the bay.

TYRION:
Oh…

KAN:
Humans…

TYRION:
What if you went with me?

KAN:
Good idea. So then I’d have to cough up 1000g? Then fight off all the crew as they try to rape me, not to mention the captain hates me.

TYRION:
Why does he hate you?

KAN:
So the money and the rape…nothing, but the fact someone hates me bothers you?

TYRION:
Um…yes.

KAN:
A couple of years back we were on a trip to the south-

TYRION:
Like a plundering trip?

KAN:
Don’t interrupt.

TYRION:
Sorry.

KAN:
Now on this trip we landed on an island that was completely inhabited by murlocks. To cut a long story short, we found the treasure we were looking for and ran.

TYRION:
So why…

KAN:
Hold your horses’ sugar. When I say we, I mean me and half the crew. We left the captain and all the ones that I knew wouldn’t mutiny back on the island. Apparently the captain killed them all in a fit of rage and used their sinews as rope to make a raft back to the mainland.

TYRION:
Wow…so where you and the rest of the crew rich then?

KAN:
No, on the way back I killed them and took all the money for myself.

TYRION:
Um, what?

KAN:
I know, I was rich once. I lost it all gambling. Damn Gnomes…

TYRION:
That was a joke right, about you killing people?

KAN:
When the captain got back he appealed to the pirate court to get all his money back. They just turned him down because he had no proof.

TYRION:
Seriously though. What you said. That was a joke right?

KAN:
Hmmm? Yeah sure. So sugar, I’m not putting myself on a boat with him, as I actually value my life.

TYRION:
So I’m stranded here then?

KAN:
No, the next vessel gets here in twelve weeks.

TYRION:
Three months? I-I’m sure Odana will understand. I’ll just send her a message, yeah, women are fine with postponing weddings… [he gets up to leave]

BARMAN:
Hey, Dress-boy! A letter just came for you.

TYRION:
(mumbles) Dress-boy…what does he mean Dress-boy, he wouldn’t be saying that if I were in my uniform. Stormwind is so hearing about this when I get back. [he takes the letter and read it.]

KAN:
What is it sugar?

TYRION:
It’s a letter from the Elven council. They say a notice of Proposal has been passed. I have eight weeks to marry the Princess, or else I will be deemed a traitor for misleading her royal highness. Punishable by death.

BARMAN:
Ha! This just isn’t your day is it Dress-boy.

KAN:
(mumbles) Apparently, it’s not mine either.

Cut Scene.

TYRION and KAN are sitting at a table in the bar.

TYRION:
I’m doomed.

KAN:
You’re not doomed.

TYRION:
I am. There’s no way I can get back in eight weeks. I’m…doomed!

KAN:
You’re not doomed!

TYRION:
I am. There’s no way I can get back in eight weeks.

KAN:
Sugar, seriously, you’re not doomed. You can just pay me when I get you back to Darnassus.

TYRION:
I am. There’s no wa- what?

KAN:
You can pay me, when I get you back to Darnassus.

TYRION:
There’s a way of me getting back in eight weeks?!

KAN:
Yeah there is, but it’s a long way, and we can’t go slow.

TYRION:
Well I don’t have a lot of choice! What are we waiting for! Lets go.

KAN:
We have to walk.

TYRION:
The whole way? T-to Darnassus?

KAN:
Yeah…

TYRION:
Unless…

KAN:
…what?

TYRION:
If you can get us to Stormwind, we can just get the boat back to Auberdine. We’ll be there in a week!

KAN:
Well, it would be more like two weeks with the boat trip.

TYRION:
Yeah, but two weeks…that’s nothing. I’ll still be alive!

KAN:
Yes you will.

TYRION:
Ok! Let’s go!

KAN:
Hold on Captain Unprepared. We need supplies.

TYRION:
Screw the supplies, we’ll just get horses, we’ll be there in a day.

KAN:
Yeah…we’ll just go get horses.

TYRION:
God, I don’t know why I didn’t think of this earlier. You know, you won’t even need to come to Darnassus with me. We can just get to Stormwind and, wait; I’ll be fine on my own with a horse. You don’t even need to come!

KAN:
Ok, so where are you going to buy a horse from?

TYRION:
Um…

KAN:
And where’s this money for a horse appearing from?

TYRION:
…you?

KAN:
I’ve not got enough money for a horse! If you want to go, WE have to walk.

TYRION:
I still don’t get why you have to come with me.

KAN:
You ever fought a tiger without a sword before?

TYRION:
No…

KAN:
Well you’re going to, if I’m not there.

TYRION:
How much is this going to cost me?

KAN:
Your life and your marriage?

TYRION:
…ok let’s go.

Two character’s are sitting at the back of the bar, one is a Draeni male, the other is a Gnome female. They look at each other, and then leave the bar.

CUT SCENE

Scene 6
A grimy voice talks to the gnome and dreani off screen, they kneel before a portal in a darkened room.

VOICE:
He’s coming back? How long?

JADE:
He said two weeks my Lord.

DIL:
And he’s got some bodyguard with him.

VOICE:
Hmm…can you deal with them?

JADE:
Of course my Lord, your wish is our desire.

VOICE:
Remember, this can’t connect back to me. Delay him or force some accident upon him, but DON’T kill him.

DIL:
ASHFIELD will be alive and waiting your execution in eight weeks my Lord.

VOICE:
Good. Do not fail me.

CUT SCENE

Scene 7
TYRION and KAN walk out of Booty Bay and travel along the road.

TYRION:
So, KAN…that’s an unusual elf name.

KAN:
Do you like it?

TYRION:
Um…well…I’m just saying it’s unusual, I’m actually impartial to how, um…I am feeling about…it…

KAN:
(Laughs) It’s ok, I was only teasing sugar.

TYRION:
Seriously though, KAN? That’s not your real name right?

KAN:
Nope. I have a couple of names: but you can call me KAN.

TYRION:
You can call me TYRION.

KAN:
AMBASADOR TYRION ASHFIELD of the Ashfield family, fifteenth in line to the throne owns lands in Elwyn Forrest, Lakeshire and parts of the old Eastern Plaguelands. Engaged to PRINCESS ODANA of the Night Elves, third Priestess to High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind. You have only your mother left alive and are an only child of your house. ODANA has a brother and her father passed away tragically just over a year ago.

TYRION:
(Stops walking) How…who are you?

KAN:
Everyone knows who you are sugar. Some people just know a little more than others. Come on, we don’t want you to miss another boat.

TYRION runs to catch up with KAN as a fireball whizzes behind him. As the two are walking a gorilla races from one side of the screen to the other. Shortly after JADE and DIL are being chased by a gorilla across the screen in the other direction. And then in the other direction…and then the other direction. Until DIL turns around and sheeps it. They then run back to Booty Bay. While this is happening TYRION and KAN talk.

TYRION:
You do know a lot though. I mean, for a normal person. Honestly I think you’d be great in court. If you knew that much about everyone, their secrets and all that kind of thing you’d rise to the top really fast.

KAN:
You think so sugar? Well, I never fancied myself a court person before. How about it though, do you think I know your secrets?

TYRION:
No way. I haven’t got any secrets.

KAN:
And if I said Tina Townsend to you, you wouldn’t know what I was talking about.

TYRION:
(Stops briefly then catches up and walks close to KAN) How do you know that? Seriously, only me and Tina know about that. Hey, I’m talking here. How do you know about that? Oh god I am in so much crap…You’re enjoying this aren’t you, I know you are.

KAN:
Hey TY?

TYRION:
What?

[screen slowly starts to fade into black as they walk off further into Stranglethorn vale]

KAN:
Tina.

TYRION:
STOP IT!

KAN:
Oh Tina I-

TYRION:
LALALALALALALA! I’M NOT LISTENING!

KAN:
TY, hey TY seriously though I have something important to say so stop being stupid.

TYRION:
What?

KAN:
Tina.

TYRION:
I hate you.

[smack]

Ow!
