Extensive Expectations/Transcript

Riz: These are the recruits?

Silver Guard: Yes, boss. They can handle curses better than I can! And I handle them well.

Riz: If you say. Step forward, and place your hand on your designated Track. As you do so, you will receive the highest rank, the Guard rank. Being a guard means working for me, but having high respect. Silver Guard here is the highest respected, so treat him how you would treat me.

SFX: (Shine, spark)

Riz: Now, you will be assigned to a curse team. The team you join is the team you shall stick with until we take control of Mythalusia. Until then, you will collect curses from around the archipelago.

Silver Guard: You are now bound to the team you work with, so nobody will go far away from each other.

Riz: Now, take these jars and maps to capture every last curse.

Haley: Here.

SFX: (Shine, bloop)

Haley: Great. Now, this is your curse. Normally, the curse would be taken, but I’ve gotta run before the Guards catch me.

Maia: Okay, bye, Haley!

Barkat: So, I saw that. Which way did they run off to?

Maia: I don’t have to share secrets that I don’t want to.

Barkat: Jaice, truth potion.

Illusion Guard: I’ve got you.

Aada: Alright, that’s enough. (Poof) Staff-to-staff. Come on. Don’t be shy.

SFX: (Shockwave pulses)

Aada: Oof! (Flump)

Riz: This is your final chance. Use it wisely.
