More insanity, made to order! Enjoy!
The Pillars (Cont.)
Ariel- There is no cure for death. Only release. You must destroy the sorcery that is now poisoning Nosgoth. Only then will you realize peace.
The Nine of the Protectors of Hope were sworn to use their powers to preserve our world. Now these pillars have been corrupted by a traitor.
My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Niprip- Niprup- *starts laughing* I’m sorry. *Kain grins*
Director- It’s Nupraptor, Ariel.
Kain- Yes, you’re in love with him but you can’t pronounce his name?
Ariel- *still laughing*
Director- Cut.
*beep-beep*
Take 2
Ariel- My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Nuprappa- damn.
*beep-beep*
Take 3
Ariel- My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Nupripprap- damn!
*beep-beep*
Take 4
Ariel- My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Nupripprip- God damn it!
Kain- *collapses in laughter*
Director- *groaning* It’s Nup-prap-tor, Ariel. Say it with me-
Both *Ariel mockingly*- Nup-prap-tor.
Ariel- I’m sorry, okay? Bloody Hell.
*beep-beep*
Take 5
Ariel- My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Nupraptor mad. Now he... he... *Ariel groans and clutches her hair* Oh GOD, I hate this Bloody scene!
I finally get his Bloody name right and I forget my lines!
*Kain is trying to stifle his laughter*
Director- Cut.
*beep-beep*
Take 6
Ariel- There is no cure for death. Only release. You must destroy the sorcery that is now poisoning Nosgoth. Only then will you realize peace.
The Nine of the Protectors of Hope were sworn to use their powers to preserve our world. Now these pillars have been corrupted by a traitor.
My murder at the hands of this beast drove my love Nupraptor mad. Now he spreads misery and pain among the Circle, crumbling the very foundation of Nosgoth-
*there’s a loud crackling noise and the pillar of the Mind begins to topple*
Stagehand- Look out!
*Ariel and Kain stare dumbfounded as the pillar of the Mind falls into the other pillars, knocking them over into the trees. They look at each other, smirk, and Kain doubles over laughing.*
Kain- That was a little premature, wasn’t it?
Ariel- *grinning widely* Um... I’d like to point out that I had my lines right that time.
*beep-beep*
Take 10
Kain VO- Nupraptor, with his blind act of vengeance threatened to destroy all of Nosgoth.
Each Circle member was bonded to the Pillar he served. The Pillars reflected the mental state of their servants, and as the minds of the Circle degenerated and descended further into dementia, the Pillars crumbled.
*loud cracking, the pillar of States falls, taking a few others with it*
Kain VO- Oh how they crumbled.
*laughter from off-camera*
Director- Cut! Could we secure the damned pillars, please?
*beep-beep*
Bat Form
Kain VO- In bat form, I can travel great distances with ease. From my vantage in the heavens, no region of Nosgoth is forbidden to me.... *chuckles* ‘Bat Form?’
*several people off-camera begin to laugh*
Director- I know, I know, but that’s what it says. Cut.
*beep-beep*
Bat Beacon
Kain VO- These beacons serve as landmarks during my flights in bat form. Once I have committed their locations to memory, I can always return.
*Off-camera, several actors begin to hum the old Batman theme song*
????- Na-na na-na na-na na-na,
Na-na na-na na-na na-na,
Bat-form!
*Kain bursts out laughing*
*beep-beep*
Spirit Forge
*Kain enters*
Wraith Smith- *in a guttural, but high-pitched voice reminiscent of Alia in the original movie production of ‘Dune’* Shed your blood for me, and these artifacts will be yours.
*Kain jumps, startled, looks around in confusion*
Kain- What the...?
Director- Uh, the other guy couldn’t be here today. We’re going to change voices during the sound edit.
*beep-beep*
Take 2
*Kain approaches the Sacrificial Font*
Spirit Wraith- *Still in the Alia voice* So - you come to the Spirit Forge for help, do you vampire? Trade you secrets for the blood of the dead, I will .
Kain- *looks at the Director* Do you know- I think the voice is even more disturbing like that?
Director- Heh. Cut.
*beep-beep*
Implode
Kain VO- Of all the methods I employ, this is perhaps the cruelest, causing my victim’s body to shrink on itself, crushing bones and rupturing organs ‘til the pressure inside burst the sac of fleshy skin, spraying its contents for all to see....... Yummmm....
*beep-beep*
Blood Fountain
*Kain enters*
Blood Fountain- *in the Alia voice again* The Blood of Ages flows so sweet. Come - drink from us.
*Kain jumps at the sound, groans*
Kain- Not her again. Couldn’t we hold off on the filming of this bit for a while?
*beep-beep*
Irmok the Mad
Irmok- The bastards in Steinchencröe shun me as Nosgoth shuns them! I know what it means to be an outsider, vampire. I fear you not, but remember this - there are others who will speak to you, so long as you know how to cook.
Kain- *looks confused* Um... don’t you mean look?
Irmok- How do you know? I am a madman after all!
Director- *rolls his eyes* Cut!
*beep-beep*
Gypsy Camp South of Vasserbünde
Kain VO- The gypsies - purveyors of distrust and superstition. Most of their babble should be taken with a pinch of salt... *tries to remember his line* and a dash of pepper.
*several people off-camera begin to laugh*
Then you bake the babble at 325 degrees until golden brown-
Director- Cut!
*beep-beep*
After the Gate to Nupraptor’s Retreat
Kain VO- The gaping maw of Nupraptor’s Retreat rained upon Nosgoth all his pain and misery.
*the waterfall abruptly stops running*
Kain- Does that mean he’s dead? Oh well! Back home I go then! *he turns to walk away, grinning*
Director- Cut!
*beep-beep*
Finding Nupraptor’s Servant Girl
Kain VO- I came upon one of Nupraptor’s serving girls, catatonic with fear, choking out half-words through bloodied, broken teeth. Although tempted by hunger, I stayed my hand, allowing her to tell her story . . .
Director- Cut!
Kain- What’s wrong?
Director- I think we should have a more blood and teeth coming out of her mouth. Little more make-up too, make the bruises stand out.
*The girl spits out a few fake teeth. They wait for the Make-up people*
Kain- You look like you’ve gone a few rounds in the boxing ring.
*The girl laughs. Kain mimes a slow-motion punch and the girl swings her face to the side, pretending to feel the impact. She spits out a few more teeth and they both laugh*
*beep-beep*
Take 2
Kain VO- Scars such as hers would never heal. Death would only be a mercy. *Kain looks at the girl hungrily. She accidentally begins to laugh.*
Girl- I’m sorry. His face looks funny that way.
*beep-beep*
Take 3
Kain VO- Death would only be a mercy. *Kain stares at the girl. She spits out a tooth. Kain begins to laugh.*
Director- Guys!
*beep-beep*
Reaching Nupraptor
Nupraptor- So, Malek, have you come to fail the Circle once more? Leave, paladin! I do not need your protection.
*Malek doesn’t disappear. Malek and Kain look around in confusion.*
Malek- Uh... guys?
Nupraptor- *still in character* I thought I told you to leave!
Director- Cut! What happened to the teleportation effects?
*beep-beep*
Take 2
Nupraptor- So, Malek, have you come to fail the Circle once more? Leave, paladin! I do not need your protection.
Come, Kain . . . come share my pain . . . Oooh! That rhymes!
*Kain is startled into a laugh*
Director- *tiredly* Cut!
*beep-beep*
Take 4
Kain VO- So this was the Mentalist Napraptor... *gasps* Oh, God! I’ve caught Ariel’s disease!
*laughter from off-camera*
Nupraptor- *pouts* Can’t anyone pronounce my name right?
*beep-beep*
Take 7
*Kain moves to avoid one of the spheres, takes a swipe at Nupraptor. He stands there for too long-*
Director- Kain, watch out!
*One of the spheres hits him in the stomach, knocking him over*
Director- Cut!
*beep-beep*
Nupraptor’s Head
Kain VO- Nupraptor’s head. Alas, poor Nupraptor - I knew him well. Well, not really. *sstarts laughing* That’s the actual line?
*beep-beep*
Spiked Mace
Kain- The mace is amongst my most useful of weapons, for it merely stuns my victims, allowing me ample time to feed.
*Kain swings the mace around with a manic grin on his face. At the arch of one swing, the spiked ball slips off its handle. Several people gasp as it smashes into a camera.*
Stagehand- Is everyone okay?
Director- O-kay. Kain, a little less enthusiasm with the Mace. *Kain hides the handle behind his back with a sheepish grin on his face*
*beep-beep*
Back at the Pillars
Director- Okay, are we sure the Pillars are going to stand this time? *affirmative shouts from the stage crew*
Stagehands- *off-camera* Speed. Marker.
Director- Action!
Kain VO- I placed Nupraptor’s head before the Pillar of the Mind, and watched on as it dissolved into the stone.
The pillar accepted its offering, thus it was restored. Nupraptor was but the genesis - forever tainted by his madness, the Circle was beyond redemption-
*a hissing sound is heard. The Symbol Ring on the Pillar of Balance slides slowly down the pillar and comes to rest on the ground. Kain turns to look at Ariel, trying to stifle his laughter.*
Director- CUT!!!!!!
*beep-beep*
Coorhagen
*Kain walks through town. He stops to examine a corpse and looks up sharply at the sound of a voice and a bell ringing*
Random guy- Bring out your dead! *ding* Bring out your dead!
Kain- *laughs* We’re all dead around here.
Director- Cut! Damned Monty Python fans.
*beep-beep*
Entering Town
Kain VO- Coorhagen - my home - the finest city in all of Nosgoth, rich in vanity and conceit. I had no delusions as to the welcome I would receive.
*He rounds a corner and comes across rotting actors with a maggot-covered cake*
Villagers- *singing* Happy Death-day to youuuuuu!
Happy Death-day to youuuuuu!
Kain- *disgusted* Now that is just wrong.
*beep-beep*
In the City Underground
*Kain rounds a corner*
Kain- What the...?
*Pop music starts. Several zombie extras begin dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Kain shrugs, drops his sword and begins to moonwalk*
Director- Cut!
*beep-beep*
Pentalich of Tarot
Kain VO- A medley of death and evisceration. Let fate choose my enemy’s demise.
Kain- *facing off with a zombie* Pick a card- any card! *holds a spread deck out to him*
Director- Cut!
*beep-beep*
Bone Armor
Kain VO- Lower forms of undead fall swiftly to deception. With the Bone armor, they are not as eager to challenge me. *he puts it on. Three voices begin to sing off-camera.*
????- Mary mo-o-o-o-o-ooan
Backup singers- Mary Moan, Mary Moan
????- She don’t eat meat, but she sure likes to bone!
Director- Cut! *he gets up and chases Mobius, Bane and Anacrothe off of the set*
*beep-beep*
