SCENE 1
EXT. SEPTEM CITY - MIDDAY - WINTER
Pan through Septem City, showing various seven-related elements dotting the city, such as trees cut in the shape of a seven, buildings and statues of seven, children making snowballs in the shape of a seven and throwing them at each other.
EXT. CITY HALL BUILDING - FRONT ENTRANCE
The City Hall building stands in a flat area, with a double-door entrance and a few windows on its floors.
However, this peaceful view of the building is interrupted by the joyous cries of VIOLET, BOB and WILLIAM as they speed by the front of the building in a seven-shaped vehicle with fired rockets coming out of its back-end.
An enraged JASON walks out of the City Hall building as the seven rocket slows to a stop and tips over onto the ground.
JASON
(maddened)
What is going on out here!?
The three rocket-joyriders step out of the vehicle and walk back towards the building.
VIOLET
It’s a seven rocket. We built it.
JASON
Why?
WILLIAM
We were bored.
JASON
Do you guys realize how dangerous
this is!? I mean, I’d expect this
from you, Violet.
VIOLET
(offended)
Hey!
JASON (CONT’D)
But Bob-- you’re supposed to be
keeping an eye on these two.
BOB
Yeah, I know, and I protested
at first.
JASON
Why’d you help them build it,
then!?
BOB
I was bored.
JASON
Oh, my God! I mean, I’m okay with
the whole seven thing, but this
is taking it too far.
WILLIAM
You can never go too far with seven.
VIOLET
Yeah, I mean, Will’s right.
The city’s even named after seven.
BOB
Yeah, and we didn’t even name it that.
Even since the city’s founding,
the seven thing has been here.
And (hesitantly) speed equals
mass times... time... distance... 
(beat) It’s-- it’s been here
a while, okay?
JASON
(sighs exasperatedly) I’m going
back to bed. Happy Sunday.
Jason grabs the newspaper in front of the entrance doors and walks back inside.
INT. CITY HALL - LOBBY
As Jason heads upstairs, he passes by an upbeat DA NERD coming downstairs.
DA NERD
Morning, Jason.
JASON
Shut up, Nerd.
DA NERD
Whoa, what pissed in your cereal?
Da Nerd walks outside.
EXT. CITY HALL - ENTRANCE
Violet, Bob and William analyze their fallen rocket while discussing improvement.
DA NERD
(to other three)
Hey, guys.
VIOLET, WILLIAM, BOB
(indistinctly)
Hey, Da Nerd.
VIOLET
Wow, you’re up today.
DA NERD
Yeah, I actually got more than 2
hours of sleep last night.
(genuine chuckle, then turns to
awkward depressing chuckle)
(beat) So, what you guys doing?
WILLIAM
Seven rocket. Wanna help?
DA NERD
H*ck yeah.
Da Nerd approaches the other three and the rocket and begins contributing his handiwork.
However, a few seconds into the four’s work, obnoxious fast-tempo flute music comes blaring from inside the City Hall building.
VIOLET
Oh, what the hell?
The four walk inside City Hall and upstairs towards SIMON’s room.
INT. CITY HALL - SIMON’S ROOM
Bob kicks open Simon’s door to see him and ADAM sitting in front of a 77” ultra-HD TV with Flute Warriors 3 on its screen, blaring out the surround sound speaker system encompassing the room. Simon holds a flute-shaped controller and matches gems on-screen with buttons on the controller while simultaneously blowing to match rhythm.
The four standing in the doorway glare at the two. Simon pauses the game.
SIMON
Oh, hi. What?
WILLIAM
Y-- you know what, Simon.
SIMON
Sorry, could you hear that
downstairs?
BOB
We could hear it from across
the country. Turn it down,
please?
ADAM
A’ight. I got you, fam.
Adam reaches over, picks up the remote and aims it at the TV with his thumb over the volume control.
However, Simon fills with rage in that Adam had invaded his room to watch him play Flute Warriors and he was giving him the privilege to even watch a master at work, and now he’s being so rude as to touch his remote with the intention of having control over the volume?
Simon grabs the remote from Adam and the two fight over it. Their battling dialogue follows along the lines of:
SIMON
It’s my remote, Adam!
ADAM
Shut up! I was near it!
etc.
The four walk in to break the lovebirds apart. 
VIOLET
Alright, that’s enough.
BOB
Yeah, guys, come on.
During the fight, the remote ends up being thrown across the room.
SIMON, ADAM
(groan)
DA NERD
So, Flute Warriors, huh?
SIMON
Yeah... what about it?
DA NERD
I used to play this all the time.
You guys gotten to “Fingers of
Fury” yet?
SIMON
No?
ADAM
Oh, come on, spoiler alert, man!
DA NERD
Sorry. It’s really hard, though.
SIMON
Oh. Well, I mean, we -- (clears
throat), I -- just got this game
like last week.
DA NERD
Wow, so you’re not even a Flute
Amateur yet?
SIMON
Nope.
DA NERD
(sitting down on Simon’s bed)
Ah. Have you had a Flute Battle yet?
SIMON
Yeah, yeah, once, against this guy
online.
DA NERD
Cool. Did you win?
SIMON
No, which is really weird because
he sucked.
DA NERD
Yeah, I know. Probably latency.
BOB
Okay, so we’re gonna go build our
rocket... um... you guys can keep...
doing this. Just turn it down, okay?
SIMON
(brushing off Bob)
Yeah, yeah. (no beat)
So, how long have you been playing?
DA NERD
Ah, probably, what, 6 years now?
7, maybe? It’s been a while;
ever since the first one.
Violet, Bob and William start to head out.
ADAM
Yeah, we kinda just jumped into
this one.
SIMON
Shut up, Adam. So, what rank
are you?
DA NERD
Um... 76, which is like, a Flute
God? Maybe a Flute Ruler?
Not a Flute Warrior, I know that.
SIMON
Ah, dude, you’re so close. You
should get back into this!
DA NERD
I really should. Hey, the fourth
one’s coming out in a few months,
maybe I can get my start back then.
SIMON
No, man, sign in now! We’re doing
this today.
DA NERD
Wait, really? ’Cause it’s Sunday,
and we kinda have work tomorrow.
SIMON
We hardly have any work at all,
but Violet, William, Bob, Jason,
they do all the actual work.
DA NERD
Wait, I do work.
SIMON
(unconvinced)
Uh-huh.
DA NERD
(beat) Alright, screw it,
hand me the flute.
Simon reaches to hand Da Nerd the flute controller.
EXT. CITY HALL - ENTRANCE
Violet, Bob and William put the finishing touches on the next revision of their seven rocket. The three get inside and Violet presses the single button on the interior of the rocket’s dashboard.
The rocket fires and launches. However, the launch comes to a surprisingly quick stop as the rocket crashes into the fence surrounding the building.
BOB
Okay, maybe it would be a good idea
if we had some way of steering.
