Virtual Saga

Script By: darkelementwars
Fantasy


Video Games have advanced to a point where they have full virtual reality capabilities. The first game to use this system launches a massive promotion with one hell of a hook: Last person standing wins a cash prize of 100 million dollars. Twenty thousand lucky contestants are chosen for this launch, and the game begins.

Enter Oscar. Having the unfortunate fate of his character being released into the game late through an error, Oscar has to play catch up if he wants his chance at the prize. But in a game in which everyone’s goal appears to be the same, who can you trust to help you? Oscar will have to fight his way through corrupt alliances of players, thieves, murderers, and nut-jobs if he wants to win.

Of course, things aren’t always what they seem, and Oscar might want to keep his head down if he doesn’t want to accidentally get involved in some of the darker secrets of the game.

The following never actually occurs, just for comedy purposes only. Of course, the jokes are probably far funnier for me since I know the characters far better, but maybe you’ll get a chuckle or two from it.

 
A Very Virtual Christmas Special
 

Snow falls over the city of Lecithin. Tile dances in the snow.

 
Tile: Come on, Rent, its fun.
 

Rent looks annoyed, his shields are covered in Christmas decorations.

 
Rent: I feel like a walking Christmas tree. Why did you do this to me?
 
Tile: You really have no Christmas spirit…
 

Willix watches from the window of his office.

 
Willix: Damn Christmas…
 

Graider sips hot cocoa from his comfy seat.

 
Gradier: You’re such a Scrooge, Willix.
 

Willix: I don’t have time for such a ridiculous holiday, I’m busy being an ass and planning things with my obviously ulterior motives. How’s someone supposed to be a bad guy with all this Christmas cheer?

 
Graider chuckles.
 

Graider: Oh Willix, your untrustworthy attitude always brings me great amusement.

 

Willix: Sigh…I wonder if other villainous characters are having this kind of trouble…

 

Phil-domo has his head in his hands. Jack Houser is talking to him, wearing a Santa hat.

 

Jack: Ok, explain to me one more time why we can’t gather the High Council together and go Christmas caroling.

 

Phil-Domo: Well, firstly, you all have the attention span of a flea. I can’t take you anywhere without you guys destroying something.

 
Jack: I do not have a short attention - hey! Who put the decorations on the tree! I said I wanted to do that!
 

He runs to a well decorated Christmas tree.

Phil-Domo: Oh, thank god.
 

Ryan looks back at Jack.

 

Ryan: Sorry, but to set up this tree you need to be able to do this!

 
He flexes his muscles.
 

Ryan: Plus, I ripped this tree out of the ground by it roots and carried it here myself. Pure muscle power!

 
Jack: I…I could have done…
 
Ryan: Than go do it. Get your own tree.
 

Jack: I could! I just don’t want to…

 

Kyler sits near the tree on the floor, plucking his guitar, playing Christmas carols.

 
Kyler: We wish you a merry Christmas…
 

Osmond stands close to Maggie.

 
Osmond: Oh, look Maggie.
 
He points up.
 
Osmond: A mistletoe.
 

Jack is still arguing with Ryan, but is interrupted by a loud yell from Osmond, followed by a smashing sound.

 
Osmond: OOOWWWWWIIIIIEEE!!!
 

Maggie walks by, annoyed looking. Osmond is hanging from the ceiling.

 
Kyler: Sleigh bells ring…
 

Austin K and Timmy drink punch in the corner.

 
Timmy: A Christmas party for a villain group? Something doesn’t seem right here…
 

Austin K: Christmas would be cooler if it involved more wolves.

 

Timmy: Unfortunately, I don’t think Jesus had a lot of wolves…

 

Austin K: Whose to say Jesus wasn’t savior by day, werewolf by night?

 

Timmy: Huh…Guess that’s a possibility…If that was true, the bible would be one giant conspiracy…

 

Austin K: Werewolf Jesus…there’s a bible that wouldn’t disappoint…

 

Jaime walks in, dressed as Santa, carrying a big sack.

 
Jaime: I have gifts for all!
 

They all sit around opening gifts.

 

Phil-Domo: Uh…some of these gifts are very expensive…where did you get the money for all of this? Did you take from our treasury?

 
Jaime: Oh, of course not.
 
Phil-Domo: Good.
 
Jaime: I stole this from the Militia Christmas party.
 
Phil-Domo: What!?
 

The door bursts open, and Graider walks in.

 

Graider: Okay, which one of you Grinches tried to steal my Christmas?

 
Phil-Domo: Uh, no one here…I think you want the Spidersilks…
 
Graider: Oh…seriously?
 
Phil-Domo: Yeah, they love to steal Christmas.
 
Graider: Bastards!
 
He leaves.
 

William has joined Kyler in singing Christmas carols in the corner.

 
Kyler / William: Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer…
 
Austin W: Is William…actually calm? Did someone glitch reality?
 

Phil-Domo: Don’t question it…consider it a Christmas miracle.

 
Jack: James, don’t you want to join in the fun.
 
James just shrugs.
 
Jack: You’re never any fun.
 

The main character group are sitting around a big Christmas tree. Oscar opens up a present.

 

Oscar: A manual on how to play the game! Awesome, now I won’t need you guys to explain everything out to me!

 

Iricryo: That was getting kind of annoying, it was like some bad plot device used by a lazy writer to explain things to the readers.

 
Oscar: Yeah, what can I say? I apparently don’t know anything about how to play.
 
Melanie opens a gift.
 
Melanie: A new dagger holster! How’d you know I needed one?
 

Oscar: Your dagger lights on fire, I figured that would probably singe a holster pretty bad.

 

Iricryo opens his gift.

 
Iricryo: Psh…
 
Melanie: Don’t like it? We got you a whole bunch of rare items.
 
Iricryo: I have all of these…
 
He pouts.
 

Oscar: God, Iricryo seems to switch rapidly from being a baby to being a tough rare-hunter.

 
Melanie: Sarah, aren’t you going to open your gift?
 
Sarah: Nah, all I want for Christmas is Iricryo!
 
She pounces on him.
 

Iricryo: Hey! Get off! Come on!

 
Oscar: Ah, best Christmas ever. I bet everyone is having this much fun.

The Spidersilk Bandits  stand around in Sniper’s tower, drinking eggnog.

 

Kester: Such a good Christmas. Good thing nothing can happen to ruin our fun.

 

Sniper spots Graider charging at them in a sleigh armed to the teeth with weapons.

 
Sniper: Oh shit…
 
Oscar shrugs.
 
Oscar: Well, almost everyone.
