{Writer's Note: Astericks (*) in the script points to Old Man Martyn lines for when you return to Asher's house upon each time Asher dies. Astericks = Asher death.} {Writer's Note: Start recording from the square bracket line count marking, and end right before the NEXT square bracket line count marking.} [1/6] Asher: Well well well, look who decided to come back with their tail between their legs. {angry} Two weeks now and you still haven't found it? Ugh, I can't believe I ever trusted you with such a simple task. {angry} Who am I? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO AM I? You offered to help find my shovel, and I've been waiting two weeks! {infuriated} Forget about your payment. Unless you either pay me back or get my shovel right now! {demanding, angry} My shovel? That's why I sent you out in the first place! It's somewhere in Time Valley. I lost it while following a trail of flowers. {angry, with a slight hint of confusion} I think it was south west of the large ruined gate. Now go get it! {demanding, infuriated} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Asher: Well hello there, stranger! Welcome to Time Valley! Always nice to see a new face around here. {happy, kind} Mad at you? Why would I be mad at you? We've never met. {confused} I know this a bit forward, but I need to ask for your help with- {hesitant about asking} Wait, is that-? It is! You've found my shovel! I recognize those markings anywhere. {shocked, surprised} But why is it so rusty? Ah, no matter. Give that to me and I'll head inside to get you a nice reward. {gratitude with a slight hint of confusion} Thank you. Now, about that reward- {with gentle gratitude} Wha- What's happening? {surprised, panicking} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Old Man Martyn: Oh dear, there he goes again. Poor fool ignored my warnings and touched that shovel. {disappointed} He's gone and got himself stuck in a loop. {disappointed} Head inside, soldier, and I'll explain what's happening here. {perhaps with a sigh, a bit annoyed} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Old Man Martyn: Without Asher, his house has vanished from time. {normal} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Old Man Martyn: Let me explain why Asher disappeared... {normal} Time Valley was built many years ago by a long-lost civilization. They had odd powers. They ended up distorting time itself. {curious, with a hint of admiration at the grandiosity of the ancient Olms} The tools they used to make these structures are imbued with their power. {curious, with a hint of admiration at the grandiosity of the ancient Olms} Asher found one of these tools: the shovel. {with a pause in between the word "tools" and "the shovel"} The shovel is tethering its time of influence to today. It keeps sending Asher back. {normal} The issue is, Asher died in the past. This creates a paradox. {with a sigh, annoyed, as if he's dealt with this many times before and is sick of it} We can save him if I send you back to prevent his death. Go through this rift to join him in the past. {hopeful} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/18] Asher: Huh? Where is everyone? {confused} Usually this place is filled with workers. {confused} But no one's here. And this place is clearly not done. {confused} Whatever the case, I should probably find my shovel. {focused} If I were a shovel, where would I be? {focused} Hmmm. Not around here. {to self, quiet maybe?} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Asher: Wait, what's that-? {confused} {*} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [7/18] Asher: This place... There's so much going on but no one here. {confused, curious} What I don't understand, though, is why this place looks brand new. {curious} This place looks like it's just being built! {shocked, curious} This must be something to do with the valley's magic. Wouldn't be the first time. {to self} Heh, time. {proud of his accidental joke} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Asher: Woah! Where did-? {panic} {**} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [12/18] Asher: In fact, whenever I hold that shovel, this kind of stuff seems to happen. {curious, realization} Maybe it's sent me way back. Back to the construction of this place. {consideration} Then why is no one here? {curious, wondering, suspicious} Woah, that tree looks like it might fall over! {shocked} That was a close one! {relieved} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [17/18] Asher: Uhf! How do they have a cannon? These guys must be super advanced. {surprised, shocked} Asher: I think I'm close now. I can just feel that shovel close by. {focused} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/11] Asher: Oh there it is! My shovel! {relieved} I'm surprised it took me back this far this time. {surprised} Well, time to head on back- {normal} Wait, Martyn? {shocked} Ow! What was that for? {stunned, annoyed} [6/11] Old Man Martyn: Asher, you remember when I allowed you to live in the valley, I told you not to touch any odd objects. {stern} [7/11] Asher: I... Might recall it. {awkwardly} [8/11] Old Man Martyn: You got yourself stuck hundreds of years ago. If it wasn't for this guard, you'd be removed from existence. {annoyed} [9/11] Asher: Oh... So that's where I am. I am so sorry Martyn. Please don't kick me out of the valley. {pleading} [10/11] Old Man Martyn: I know time travel can be tempting. But it's far more dangerous than you can ever understand. {normal} The valley is banned for most citizens. I watch over this timeline because of poor souls like Asher. {caring, worrying for Asher's safety} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/14] Asher: Holy Bovine! {shocked} [2/14] Old Man Martyn: Ah, we're back. {normal} [3/14] Asher: How did you get these powers? Are you even human? {wondering, curious} [4/14] Old Man Martyn: Oh you know. I've read a book or two in my time. {sarcastically} Soldier, I'm sorry I got you dragged into this. I wish I could have done it {apologetic} [6/14] Asher: I probably could have gotten myself out... {annoyed} [7/14] Old Man Martyn: You died in the past. Multiple times. {normal} [8/14] Asher: I did? {confused} [9/14] Old Man Martyn: Yes. In some surprising ways too. {normal} Soldier, I'm sure we will meet again... in time. {normal} See you around. {normal} [12/14] Asher: Uh, you're still here. {confused} [13/14] Old Man Martyn: Am I? {normal} [14/14] Asher: I don't understand Martyn. He seems to know everything about the past. Here, come closer, I want to whisper something. {confused} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Asher: I think he might have known Bob. I saw some letters in his house. {with a "this is a big deal" kind of voice - knowing Bob is a big deal, and no small feat.} Weird, right? Bob was a hard guy to know. {normal} Anyway, take this. It's the least I can do to pay you for saving me. {with gratitude} OLD MAN MARTYN DEATH LINES: {*} [1/2] Old Man Martyn: My my, a crushing defeat to be sure. You'll have to find a way to stop that. {normal} Go back through the rift and make sure Asher doesn't become a pancake this time. {normal} {**} [1/2] Old Man Martyn: Well that was quite the explosive end to our friend there. There must be a way to prevent that. {shocked} Head back in there. This time with less explosions. {normal} {***} [1/2] Old Man Martyn: Oh, so close on that try. Who could've guessed that was how our friend met his end? {hopeful, excited} I'm sure you'll nail it this time. Not sure how you will stop a cosmic event, though. {normal at first sentence, worrying at second sentence}
