Interesting Ideas/Transcript

The scene starts in the living room

Snarock: [Slithers in background]

Haley: So, what can we do for the day? We have a full 24 hours.

Jack: I think we should check out the city.

Bookly: Alright, this place has a lot to offer. A shop, a park, and a museum. So, which should we go to first?

Haley: How about we go to the park first? I’ve always wanted to go to a local park. [All agreeing]

Bookly: Alright, park it is!

**Magila intro plays**

Haley: I’m going to feed the flip fish if you need me. [Walks towards the pond]

Jack: The park is calming, so I’ll take a walk. [Walks away]

Bookly: Same with me. I’m coming, Jack! [Runs after Jack]

Maia: Eh, I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe shake trees until apples fall. Then I can use them for target practice! [Walks towards tree]

Evin: First, transform to… a witch. [Transforms into witch] Well, this is good. Now, to figure out what to do… maybe practice my magic here!

Haley: (Whistling) There you go, little flip fish. Have some worms. I won’t hurt you. [A flip fish flips out of the water] Wow. That’s great to see.

Maia: Let’s see. We have… a tree-filled to the top with apples. Perfect! [Throws potion, causing the tree to shake, dropping apples] Now, to use as target practice. [Places apple on fence]

Shabin: Hello, there.

Maia: Uggh, Shabin. What are you here for?

Shabin: Nothing. Just asking, why’d you study for potions? [Counts on fingers] There’s illusions, melody, plants, construction, and beast keeping, and you chose potions? (Laughs) [Casts spell, poofing apple into illusion]

Maia: Yes, now back off, or I can make a potion that might make you think twice about what you said.

Shabin: What’re you gonna do? Poof me? Do you seriously know me?

Maia: I know you. Now leave.

Shabin: Alright, fair enough. See you in school, Maia.

Maia: What does that guy know? [Throws potion, goes through illusion apple, slaps face]

Jack: Okay, so I find myself losing, right? Then, I realized, the game is Slips! So, I tried to make a potion that would make me stop time for a small bit, and I knew the next card she had was a wild card. So, I slipped a little onto my hand and boom! I slipped the card behind another one and played it, so I got the advantage.

Bookly: Wow. There are so many full ways of slipping cards in the game, so-

Witch: Have I heard you say… [Holds up Slips card] Slips?

Jack: Yes. I’m a master at it.

Witch: (Chuckles) We’ll see.

Evin: Hmm… [Skips rocks] What to do, what to do…

Haley: [Walks to Evin] You trying to figure out what to do?

Evin: Yup.

Haley: Here’s an idea: Why don’t we go check out that museum? That sounds like a great idea, right?

Evin: Well, I don’t have much else to do, so…

Haley: Before we go, I’d like to see your rock-skipping skills.

Maia: [Slaps face] Come on out, Shabin. You aren’t fooling me!

Shabin Illusion: Then why did you think the apple was real?

Maia: Get out of my face, illusions. [Punches at illusions]

Shabin: Okay, seriously. I’ll leave.

Maia: You little liar. I can call Keres if I want to.

Shabin: Huh. What could he do to me?

Maia: Force you to join a Track using his new Shadowed.

Shabin: Wait, he has a Shadowed? Did he steal it from the museum?

Maia: Nope, he made it.

Shabin: Do you know the history behind them? Go check out the museum. I’m going to leave.

Scene cuts to Slips game

Bookly: I have a strategy. You play down that card, stop him.

Jack: Okay. I play the Reaction card. Every action you take, I get to take it.

Witch: Wait, you have *that* card? I thought they banned that card from being made again!

Bookly: [Flips through books] Well, it does say that in the Magilian Century, when this game first started, they started printing them, but about a week later, the Reaction card stopped being made, due to everyone losing.

Witch: Woah. I thought you were gonna check the history museum, not a book. [Points to book, shrugs] I guess books *aren’t* that bad. If you can buy a book for, how many coins for that book?

Bookly: [Holds up book] Actually, it’s worth only 15 coins now that you mention it.

Witch: 15 coins for something that has more than a museum has to offer. But anyway, you *have* to check out the museum. There’s tons of books in the museum. Some of them, you can even read yourself.

Jack: That sounds cool. Books?

Bookly: Perfect. Okay, to the museum!

Scene cuts to inside museum

Haley: There’s tons of cool stuff in a museum. The rules, never touch something that doesn’t say you can touch it, and keep your voice down. Don’t scream. It echoes. [Leaves to the Sculptures room]

Evin: Got it. [Doors open]

Maia: Hey, Evin! I didn’t know you were here.

Evin: I came because Haley thought it was a good idea.

Snarock: [Slithers]
