High & Spicy Guardian/Episode 10 transcript

Parsley opens the door. Caraway notices it. As Thyme and Parsley walk in, Caraway says: "Hello my friends. What can I do for you?"

Parsley and Thyme are silent. Caraway is still smiling.

Parsley: "Caraway, what happened is that, Rosemary and Sage are in our closet."

Caraway's smile fades and weirds out. "What!?" he can't believe it.

Thyme: "We'll show you, just follow us."

Thyme, Parsley and Caraway are walking out of his office and they go to their dorm. Caraway goes in and stops infront of the closet.

Caraway: "What exactly you meant when you said that they are in your closet?"

Parsley and Thyme are standing silent. Caraway opens the closet.

Parsley: "Surprise..."

In the closet, there is a smelly dry blood and he sees two dead bodies.

Caraway, a bit out: "Wow, this is a smell, I can smell it..." he gets a pause: "Well, what happened? They look so unappealing!"

Parsley: "Can you fix it?"

Caraway finally gets it. "Oh god, oh god!" he gets scared. "Are they, are they dead!?

Parsley gets tiny tears in the eyes. Thyme doesn't have any tears yet. Caraway sits in the chair. He sits there for a while and then speaks with a weird devasted voice: "Alright, give me a minute."

Parsley starts to get worried and Thyme not really.

Parsley: "Can you fix it?"

Caraway: "I, should I?"

They are all quiet.

-Time skip-

Parsley, Thyme and Caraway are sitting at his office. Parsley doubts for a while. Then says: "But it will be alright? So we go for healing water and that will fix it?"

Caraway is silent.

Parsley: "Will it?"

Caraway: "I- I'm not really sure. Because, the body is already damaged, they've been killed with a powerful force. Healing water can't fix that."

Parsley screams.

Thyme, negatively: "Healing water is capable of healing a damaged tree, it is capable of healing the entire village. What the hell are you talking about."

Caraway has a angry expression on his face. "Healing water can't do that. It's not poweful to that degree."

Thyme: "What-" They got broke. Their voice broke. Thyme has a devasted look on their face, with increasing and decreasing amount of tears in their face. Thyme doesn't move.

Caraway: "I'm really sorry for your friends but I can't fix that."

Thyme gets up and says: "Fuck friends. Fuck you." and leaves the office.

Caraway but gets his terrasphere and shuts the door. "Don't say words like that!" says.

Thyme goes to stand to the next corner. Caraway is looking at Thyme. Then he speaks to them: "Hey, come sit with us."

Thyme: "Give me a while, I'll sit later." and turns again the head away. Caraway is still looking at them.

-Crossfade to Aloe and Anise-

Aloe: "They really aren't coming back. What kind of caretakers we are that we can't even keep an eye on two children."

Anise is silent. Anise then turns the head at Aloe and says: "Maybe you're right. Maybe we should actually go check on them." in a sad voice.

Anise gets up and gets a terrasphere what turns into a wooden staff. Then makes a portal to the High Guardian Academy. The two walk into it and now they are in hgs friend group's dorm. They both look them up but can't find them.

After a while, Anise says: "You know what, maybe we should check somewhere else."

Aloe is distracted, looks around the room and then says: "Wait, let me take a look." Then opens the small shelfs of the closet. Anise is watching, then asks: "What are you doing?" Aloe is looking around the closet and says: "I just want to see how the two are doing in this room." But then, Aloe notices the weird smell from the closet. "Hey, old blood smells here." says.

Anise: "What do you mean?"

Aloe: "You think it's a period blood?"

Anise: "Ew." gets a pause "Why would they put that in the closet and not somewhere with a more closed place?" asks.

Aloe: "Dumb, dumb teens." says in a angry but silent voice.

Anise doesn't answer. Aloe looks out for the period stuff. But they can't find it. So then they say to Anise: "Well, seems like that's not it." says.

Anise: "Strange."

They both are silent. "What if we call our friend Caraway and ask him about what happened." says Anise.

Aloe silently agrees. The two leave the dorm and enter the hallway. But, they don't really know where Caraway's doors are.

Aloe: "What if we just teleport to his office?"

Anise: "Sure." and then takes the terrasphere and teleports with it. They both appear at his office. Thyme is sitting in the chair misearably. Parsley is silent and Caraway is silent too. Anise waves a hand to Caraway.

Caraway: "Oh look, our two friends came here." says with a faked enthuziastic voice.

Aloe does none of the friendly acts this time. They don't have the feels this time. Caraway welcomes both of them.

Then Caraway asks them both: "So, what brought you here today?"

Anise: "Well, we came here to ask about Rosemary and Sage." says in a forced sweet tone.

Caraway: "Oh, right. Well, they were doing well, until... they vanished."

Anise: "Oh-" says shortly.

Aloe joins the conversation: "Oh, what happened to them?" asks.

Caraway doubts: "Well, uhh. They're dead. They're pernamently dead." says

Aloe and Anise scream in unison: "What!?!"

They are standing and their heart beats faster, suddenly their mouth is dry and they feel slight chest pain.

Caraway: "Oh, right. I shouldn't have just straightforward say that. I'm really, really sorry. These kids just found the dead bodies of their friends. They told me that a while ago. I just didn't know how to say it properly to you."

Aloe and Anise are silent. Then, a thought goes through Anise's mind and forces herself to say it out loud: "Well, with the magic we have nowadays, this should be a no deal. Right?"

Thyme glares at Anise but then silently says: "Sorta".

All of them are silent.

-Crossfade to Olive and Mandrake-

Olive: "Well, we finaly formed a plan."

Mandrake: "Yeah. Now let's go to streets and find someone."

-Time skip-

Olive and Mandrake are walking through the Witch country's streets. The people are wealthy, the streets are really shiny. They are walking through the streets of it, trying to find the biggest weirdos willing to do anything.

     There is a dude licking the blood from the ground, even though he might have just lost some teeth. Then there are two people fighting. That doesn't mean they are bloodlusty. And there is one stealing. "Who doesn't do that?" thinks Mandrake.

Mandrake, says it out loud: "You know what, Olive, go summon some cats by yourself. You may gain their trust."

Olive: "Uhh, okay. Sure?"

Olive meows and calls other cats. Then transforms into a cat infront of them and that grabs the cat's attention. They transform as well, into humans.

Mandrake, to the trio: "Hey, I'm Mandrake, this is my friend Olive and we're finding some other people to hang out and do stuff."

The trio looks at eachother but eventually agrees.

-Time skip-

The team is at Mandrake's place. The newerly formed group is called 'Wealthy blood fighters'. Olive is holding is holding a paper with a written plan. Suddenly, in a portal, there is an upcoming call.  A hidden face gives a new request.

N/A: "Hey, the newest one is Felix, a student attending the High Guardian Academy."

Zia pays attention.

Mandrake: "Alright, mister."

The calls ends and the portal disappears.

Mandrake: "That means we know where we are going." says as he turns around to the rest of the group. He takes his terrasphere and makes an another upcoming call, through a new portal. This portal is with a old lady.

Mandrake: "We got another request. This time it is Felix, a student of High Guardian Academy."

N/A: "Alright. I'll track him."

The portal is now blank. Redbud is leaving the office and goes to one of the classrooms. In there,  there is Slimeboy playing on one of his instruments.

He sings: "I told my friend to not be a jerk, but that's not how friendships work"

Redbud enters the classroom and says: "Hey sweetie, I watched you play and I gotta say, it is a work of an art. I want to give you an award. Go with me."

Slimeboy: "Oh, me? An award? Well, alright, that is, that is some good stuff. I, thanks" says in his usual voice.

Redbud smiles at him and takes him to her office. She then pushes him to the portal and he entered the room.

-Time skip-

Slimeboy, real name Felix, is now lying on the ground. He pays attention to nothing because he was hit hardly in the face. Mandrake and the rest go to look out for him. Zia gets worried. Mandrake after finding him, hits him again, this time on his back. Then he tells Olive to give him his sword and he cuts Slimeboy's hand. Zia grabs Slimeboy and pushes him out of the window. Anakin and Acheron go downstairs for him.

Acheron, when finally down: "Wow, this must have killed him."

Mandrake: "Not really. Let's finish him off."

Zia goes fastly downstairs. Then performs an teleportation spell instead. Mandrake sees her and says: "Don't try to help him escape or I'll cut your head off." Then Mandrake steps on Slimeboy and gets his terrasphere. He then doesn't quite kill him, just makes some bruises.

-Time skip-

Mandrake's thoughts: "Olive didn't even go downstairs. Was Zia trying to help me? No, just an incopetent traitor. Acheron and Anakin did nothing."

Mandrake to Zia, out loud: "Hey, I saw you only while ago and you try to ruin my job or something? That's not how it works, by pushing him off the window you gave him an opportunity to escape. Don't do that." he gets a pause: "Why did you do that, you thought of that, right?" he asks.

Zia: "No, I was just trying to help an old friend. That was just a wrong request, I won't do it again."

They both are silent. Mandrake walks her to the place.

-Crossfade to Caraway's office-

Caraway is trying to heal Sage and Rosemary. He has no idea, however. "Fix her limbs, her body. Bring back to life? Try healing water anyway?" he is thinking. After a while, he gets his terrasphere. "Maybe I could replace the limbs." He tries to cast a spell but fails to heal. Caraway looks deep down, giving up. "I can't do it, can I? If anyone cared, I could have asked the school staff. But why would they?" but then, he gets an idea: "I tell the others that I need that for the class and they could help me." He smiles a bit and gets up. Then goes through the halls to the other teachers.

-Time skip-

N/A teacher: "So, you need help with class?"

Caraway: "Yes, I do. I need to explain something but I don't know the topic properly myself."

N/A teacher: "Alright, what's the topic?"

Caraway: "Oh, a kid has broken limbs and has blood all over themselves. How do I heal them?"

N/A teacher: "I'm not sure about that. Maybe find solutions in the books? I mean, the spells in the books of an first grader are overpowered, so."

Caraway: "Exactly but, do you have atleast an idea about that?"

N/A teacher: "Accidents happen. Go ask the doctor or something."

Caraway: "We have a doctor?"

The teacher, already annoyed enough, leaves. Caraway is silently standing, looking at how the teacher is leaving.  He thinks for a while and then gets his terrasphere and tries to research about how he should fix that. The answer he gets - surgery. Caraway gets kinda weirded out but accepts it. He leaves the classroom and goes back to his office. "A surgerist is all needed. Maybe somewhere in Lyngarth." he thinks. "I'll call Parsley and Thyme" he thinks.

-Time skip-

Both of them are in his office. "So, anyone can make surgery?" asks Caraway. Parsley rises right hand. "Oh, Caraway, I once had to operate one of my brothers." Thyme looks weirded out but that later fades into an neutral face.

Caraway: "Great. So, you could give Rosemary and Sage operation?"

Parsley: "What for, they're all dead."

Caraway: "No, fix their limbs, then I make them alive."

Thyme: "So you can make people alive!?" asks in a angry tone.

Caraway: "With the healing water! You fix it and after the body is healthy, I make them alive-" after he realized what he have said, he slaps his forehead and then he thinks: "I'm so incompetent!" Then he says out loud: "Right, doesn't make sense, huh? And you want your friends alive?"

Parsley and Thyme don't respond.

Caraway: "I'll figure out."

Caraway thinks for a while. "Isn't the answer hidden somewhere? Like, in old magic?" he gets a pause "Or, it is truly written in the books?"

Thyme and Parsley look concerned.

-Time skip-

It is 10 pm. Thyme and Parsley go to bed. Both of them get their blanket. Parsley wishes good night to Thyme. Thyme does too but says it with a more silent voice. Thyme thinks about their mission and how Caraway revealed how lame the magic system and the healing water can be. How it can't bring anything to life, what is already dead. Thyme tries to get some other thoughts, try to force a dream but at the same time they feel like they haven't got any time to think about things like that. They tried to make a plan for tomorrow. Contact their dad and he could get some help. Then, Thyme quickly opened their eyes.

"Ask Sage's mom. No, she would freak out when they find out Sage is dead. But she's a healer and she could give some advice. Maybe I could make up a story. Oh, right!"

Dialogue proceeding - Thyme: "...and my hedgehog broke his spikes, he is really damaged. Others told me he's dead but I don't believe that. How can I heal him?"... and Sage's mom will help me!" But then, Thyme realizes something: "Wait, am I really thinking about how to bring them back? I thought I only care about my mission, did something change? Wait..." Thyme realizes something: "But the healing water healed Rosemary from poison, does that mean the healing water actually works?" But then, Thyme realizes something: "But that was because she wasn't dead, just poisoned. Oh but, poison kills people too! Does that mean that it heals anyway? Nevermind, I'll just go ask Sage's mo... wait, parents. Why does Sage only talk about their mom? I forgot they even have a dad. And how about my dad? I can ask him." and then the scene stops.

-Time skip-

It is morning, 8 am, the students were until now doing their things in the dorms but now they were called to go to the main hall. The students are expecting a new mission.

Dretch: "Welcome there, students. Today, you are sent to the newest mission, to the Mushroomed country."

Dretch creates a new portal with a terrasphere, leading right to the country. The students walk in there. That is a place with overgrown grass, overgrown plants, trees and mushrooms.

"What should we do there? one student asks

Dretch: "Oh, just wait. Just get your weapons and walk around a little. This will test and strenghten your skills."

The students are silently standing and agreed with the mission. All of them get either their terraspheres, hammers, arrows, swords or other weapons. Some got their bags with the things requiered to work with old magic. Then they have a fight with the monsters. Next, a portal appears and the students go through it.

The end of episode.
