Given the organized response against them, Doc and the Circle seek to gain more recruits in the safest way possible...a science fiction convention.

[Script] Tossing Grenades At Windmills - Page 65

Fred, Hawkqueen and Inoria grab Grenademan’s Cape. 

GRENADEMAN

YOU DON’T TUG ON GRENADEMAN’S CAPE. YOU DON’T SPIT IN THE EYE OF THE OLD LONE RANGER AND YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH MY CAPE. EMPHASIS ON THE CAPE PART. HINT, THAT’S MY CAPE. 

Fred

So what are we supposed to be doing here? 

GRENADEMAN

MY CAPE PLEASE. 

Inoria

Honestly…I have absolutely no idea, but it makes about as much sense as everything else that’s been going on.

GRENADEMAN

YOU ARE GETTING COOKIE CRUMBS ON MY CAPE. WAIT, SORRY, THAT’S FROM DEAD GINGERBREAD MAN.

Inoria grabs Grenademan’s cape. There is a large flash of light and they all vanish.

EXT. REVOLUTIONARY FRANCE - DAY

The four appear inside a rowdy crowd in revolutionary France. A large guillotine sits to one side. No one immediately pays attention to them.

FRENCH PERSON #1

I hear they are up to thirty seven today! 

FRENCH PERSON #2

That’s nothing. Last week they got rid of two hundred and fourteen. 

FRENCH PERSON #1

Let’s get a good front seat. Last time I could see the veins in his neck still pumping.

GRENADEMAN

THE SUPERHEROIC WORK IS A GLORIOUS WORK. 

Inoria

Actually, it’s times like this that I really wonder why I get up in the morning.

 

They blow up the last of the gingerbread men. The Candy Queen cries and runs away.

Hawkqueen

This is almost enough to make me give up chocolate…almost. 

FRED

Right. So how do we get out of here? 

Inoria

That’s a very good question. 

Hawkqueen

You’re supposed to be the technical expert. 

Inoria

Look, I don’t have any idea what was done to us, that doesn’t make it easy to replicate. 

FRED

We know it had something to do with Frank’s cape.  

Hawkqueen

It was of the same formula Thorne was looking for.

Inoria

That’s it. It’s just crazy enough that it might work. Quick, everyone grab hold of his cape… 

My live journal has long served as my poetry blog

but it seems to by dying.  I tried posting this there seven times and it wouldn't stick....

Only it turns out they both survived.....

But I was going to post the poem here.

Instead I will post link 1 and link 2

Inoria

Well, we eat them, it’s only natural they try and eat us. 

A fight ensues between denizens of candy land and the heroes. The gingerbread men charge them. Grenademan tosses grenades. Inoria shocks them, Hawkqueen cleaves them in two with her talons (retractable), and Chainsaw Fred liberally applies his chainsaw to them.  

GRENADEMAN

FEEL THE WRATH OF MY GRENADES OH FOUL DEMONS OF CANDY! 

FRED

Look, Frank…since there is a remote chance we might not get out of this, seeing as how we’re out numbered by about-well the entire population of Candy Land to four, I wanted to apologize for hitting you. 

GRENADEMAN

NO APOLOGY IS NECESSARY FELLOW SUPER HERO CHAINSAW FRED. WE ARE ALL WARRIORS ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE, SOMETIMES WE MUST SMACK FOR THE FORCES OF

(interrupted)

 

Chainsaw Fred cuts more gingerbread men in half while Grenademan tosses more grenades.

FRED

Look, I realize that there might not be much left of you in there right now, but someday you might come back. I love you, you’re my brother. But this super hero stuff, people that get mixed up in this. Well, I mean, look around, I don’t want this sort of thing happening to my kids. 

Writing Update

So far so good. I'm behind where I wanna be, but I've got three stories complete so far, Skip's story, Making the Demon and Raising Timmy.  Raising Timmy seems to have the most potential of the three but it will require some rewrites.  All of them will.  I'm sitting on em for three months, then I'll do an edit, and then wait for three more before another edit pass and submitting for publiciation (ie rejection) but I'm learning from past improvements and time helps a lot.

Working on two more stories that I just started. I'm trying to do them both at the same time, and I'm mainly trying to write more during the day and night to get myself ready for NaNoWrMo and..failing miserably.  I'm mainly writing at night and weekends, which just won't do for....you know, that name is a pain to write, let's call it Death Month, shall we? Anyway, I'm gonna start notes on characters and plot outline here likely in April.

Podcast is chugging along nicely.  I sometimes have 10 people listening to it. I think my voice actor has some fans :D He is good at reading for GMVZ.  I'm getting a mike delivered this week but will likely resume reading sometime in April.

Finally, since I have a goal to write 3 scripts this year and Tossing Grenade Vs Windmills is going to run out in April or may, I'll need SOMETHING to replace it for the blog....Unfood will last a while, but I do  plan on doing another short film some time next year, and I'll likely start with the strongest of the three scripts I write this year.
