IZM 4: The GAUNTLET of PAIN
Written by Lord Timothy
Scene 1
Title: The GAUNTLET of PAIN
Fade in on birds' eye view of Skool
Ms. Bitters' class is milling about in front by the bus stop. Various bags accompany each, as do their parents, performing farewell rituals
Zim is also there with a small, EVIL-looking carrying pod-device-thingy. Dib is watching him cautiously from across the group of kids, next to the floating screen of his dad
Membrane: Have a good time on your Skool trip son.
The screen turns around and starts to fly away, but stops, turns around and looks back
Membrane: And don't talk to anything that's not breathing!
View switches to the door, which is closed. An eerie shadowy wisp slithers through underneath it, flies to the group of children and/or parents, and condenses to form Ms. Bitters
Ms. Bitters: The bus shall arrive momentarily. All of you WILL proceed to board it immediately.
An eerie bus arrives as Ms. Bitters speaks
Ms. Bitters: If we do not reach the campsite by nightfall, you shall all suffer a HORRIBLE FATE.
Ms. Bitters points eerily towards the bus
The children all proceed to the bus with their bags, many of which are bigger than the kids. They load their bags on the bus, which opens the side compartments. The children all throw their bags in, and then get on the bus. Zim and Dib are both alone at the back of the bus, on opposite sides
Zim: I can't BELIEVE I'm being forced to attend this 'Outdoor Skool.' It sounds FILTHY!
Dib: Smirking evilly What's wrong Zim? You look like you could use a little chance to get back to nature.
Zim: FILTHY! ZIM needs no FILTH-DIRT... err... THING!
Dib: Just imagine ... it will only be a matter of time before they find out you really are an alien.
Zim's eyes are squeezed shut. He is imagining horrible dirt-monsters ... not just the kids
Zim: Silence your FILTHY of ... FILTHINESS!
All the kids turn back to Zim and Dib
Kids: BE QUIET!
Dib turns to look out the window
Dib: It's going to be a LONG week...
The bus leaves town

If a submitted character does not fulfill specified requirements, it will be rejected without being looked at! Answer only the questions asked and at least try to be original.
Characters will be accepted through Monday, April 21st. After that, only very special cases will be accepted. Only the best will be used after final evaluation. I'm tired of all the bloody Nny clones running 'round. His boots aren't THAT cool. And trench coats and black get all hot and sticky.
And insane characters are getting tired.
HOO~WAH!
Okay, for characters, I need the following information in a review:
Name: (Sticky, Stinky, Slimy, etc)
Age: (Characters are all the same age - they are at the same Outdoors Skool, mind you)
Race: (Characters are all human, save Zim. No relatives to main Zim cast)
Description: (Eyes, hair, height, weight, generally speaking. Physical features, not clothing)
Personality: (This is where your character needs to be most interesting, as age, race, clothing, and items are all locked)
Mental State: (Insane, Kleptomaniac, etc. There will be limits on the number of insane characters allowed, and an INTERESTING character ALWAYS has better chances than an insane one)
Skool: (Be creative. You can come from the same Skools, but not Zim/Dib's)
IZ Character You Associate With Best: (I'm not actually going to USE this bit, I just put it here for no reason. WOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE!)
Be sure to follow the format for better chances of being read and chosen.
