Inuyasha and the Holy Tama
By ArtikGato
INTRODUCTION
Disclaimer: I do not own Monty Python and the Holy Grail, nor do I own Inuyasha or the characters from that wonderful anime/manga. As for this story, I guess I do own the concept of Monty Python and the Holy Grail played out by characters from Inuyasha. Anyway, please don't copy this word for word, as I DID change some of the dialogue and other stuff to make sense, but you CAN write as many InuPythons as you want!!
Author's Notes: I figured out a way to combine two very cool things into one thing! Yay! Plus, it gave me something to do with my time the second week of summer. What? What do you mean I should be doing my summer reading for English next year?! Preposterous!
Anyway, this story DOES contain A LOT of dialogue that was originally from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In fact, most of the dialogues are, and pretty much every scene/set/scenario is, taken straight from the movie. Note that I DID add a LOT of dialogue and other stuff in order for it to make sense, incorporate a character, or just generally be funnier. It makes a LOT of sense if you watch Holy Grail first and just paste the characters of Inuyasha into the story.
NOTE:
This is NOT script format, it is PLAY format. In other words, it's written in the way that the script of a play would be written. WHY did I write it in this way? I wanted to try something different, and besides, since I'm basically writing a movie I figured that it would make more sense in play format rather than in other formats. Here's a general guideline to help you understand this format, if you don't already:
FADE IN : this signals the beginning of a new scene
EXT. DESCRIPTION OF THE SET/SCENERY : this describes the scenery, duh.
AUDIENCE
Comments about the set/scenery that
I think are appropriate will go here.
(Here I'll place a list of the CHARACTERS involved in the beginning of the scene and what they're doing. I'll also provide other random information at my discretion.)
CHARACTER NAME
What that person is saying.
ANOTHER CHARACTER NAME
What THAT person is saying. If they
say something that takes up two or
three lines when normally typed out,
then I'll break it up so that it's shorter.
Something that pertains to the scene, such as people dieing or leaving.
CHARACTER NAME
What they say.
(what they're doing, or
they're attitude while they are
saying their line/s)
(silence) : this means that everyone is silent.
RANDOM PERSON
These are characters that I didn't feel like
coming up with a name for, and so I
just put 'random'. They only have one
or two lines in the whole scene, so
they are unimportant, anyway.
ANOTHER CHARACTER
When there is a line or lines of dialogue that are five or six lines (or a speech), then I don't bother to shorten it and just leave it the way it is. This happens in quite a few instances, actually. Also, this applies to ANYTHING that the Narrator or Kouga's Minstrel say. Side note: Anything the Narrator is says is always italics as well.
Meanwhile... : anything NOT said by the Narrator
that is italicized is going to be 'meanwhile' or 'some
time later'.
(Anything in the technical notes that is CAPITALIZED is important, such as a CHARACTER'S NAME or something RANDOM THAT I DEEM IMPORTANT or a PLACE or something)
Also, anything in the scene information that is CAPITALIZED is the same as anything in the TECHNICAL NOTES)
RANDOM KNIGHT
(this also applies to STUFF the CHARACTERS do)
Do you understand all of that? Confusing, ne?
FINAL NOTE:
Trying to post three scenes per chapter has caused complications. The first chapter contains the first three scenes, which are pretty short, but with the longer chapters I just can't do that. Therefore, I might have to post only two or even one scene per chapter. I don't know. Just bear with me for right now! I WILL post all fifteen chapters! I just don't know how many I can put in each post. Anyway, for your reference, here's a scene list!
INUYASHA AND THE HOLY TAMA SCENE LIST:
I. Swallows can't carry coconuts!
II. Bring out your dead!
III. "Dennis"
IV. The Black Knight
V. Witches weigh the same as ducks!
VI. The Knights of the Round Table and God
VII. The Trojan Chipmunk
VIII. One head is better than three!
IX. The Castle Cholera
X. Scene Twenty-Four
XI. An ordeal at Swamp Castle
XII. The Knights Who Until Now Said Nnniii!!
XIII. The Holy Hand Grenade!
XIV. The Bridge of Death
XV. Raging Authoresses, Llamas, and the END!!!
FINAL FINAL NOTE:
Try not to read one chapter at a time. It makes MUCH more sense when you read the thing in it's entirety. I know my posting it divided up isn't really helping this, but just bear with me. At least go back and read the end of the previous chapter before you start on the next!
