Scene: Staticky fade-in; close-up of the illustrious casting director, a single word in green letters, VIDEO, blinks out in the upper right corner of the view. The camera shakes visibly as he adjusts it.
Sariel V: Alright.... there we go. stepping back from the camera Sorry to interrupt this parody, but we've had some problems.
Zozma: off-camera Well, imagine that!
Sariel V: shouting over his shoulder Can it! facing the camera again Way back in January, I wrote the start of this script as a means of entertaining the small SaGa community I was a part of. I didn't really expect it to take off, and after doing a handful of highlights from further into the film, I left it to the whims of Fate.
Zozma: The typical Sariel V method for finishing a tale, eh?
Sariel V: mutters Sadly so. full voice In general, when you start humor pieces there, other people jump in. No one did - they wanted me to continue it.
Zozma: And you know what he did?
Sariel V: I jumped ahead a couple of scenes before I continued.
Zozma: Quality writer at his finest. Pfah!
Sariel V: One moment.
Scene: Sariel grabs a nearby sledgehammer and moves out of camera range.
Sariel V: off-camera Time for some tough love, again?
Zozma: That's right! Beat a bound, defenseless Mystic! When I get loose, I'm go-
**WHACK**
Scene: Sariel returns and kneels before the camera, sledgehammer still in hand
Sariel V: He'll be ok. No one is as hard-headed as he is. Setting down the sledgehammer This little interlude is here in case I ever do cover the territory I missed. The parody is still in full swing and much further down the road, so I need to have some space where I can fill things in. Unfortunately, one slot probably wouldn't be enough to introduce Lute and show what happens to the Mecs when they land on Yorkland, so I need to take up the chapter after this one too.
Zozma: I think your constant yammering is hurting my head more than that hammer.
Sariel V: winks Didn't I tell you? Anyways, the next segment will be dedicated to the few previews I did before, as well as some outtakes from the tale thus far.
Zozma: Where did you get that guy that directs, anyways? You related?
Sariel V: Sortof...
Zozma: I could tell. You BOTH need professional help!
Sariel V: One moment, again. picking up the sledgehammer and leaving the camera's view again You want to see crazy? I got crazy for ya!
Zozma: Someone, call IRPO! I'm at 5623 East-
Scene: Camera cuts out to static. A word in green letters, VIDEO, flashes briefly.
