Meet
the Characters from Reluctant Guardian
Hello
everyone! I am Jane Roberts and I’ll be your host for today’s show! We have
some exciting guests for you all to meet. Please welcome Alisa Callahan and
Brecken Shaefer to the stage!
*Clapping and cheering from
audience*
Jane: First off, tell us a little
about yourself, Alisa.
Alisa: Well, I'm a ghost. I died
in a terrible accident.
Jane: But it was an accident that
you caused yourself, right?
Alisa: Well, yeah. Technically, I
guess you could say that.
Brecken: But she had a really
good reason. She was so sad about her best friend dying of cancer, her
Grandmother had recently died from old age... she had a lot going
on
Jane: Thank you, Brecken. We
appreciate you having her back.
Brecken: Of course I do. She's
practically perfect except for that minor mistake she made, and she's paying
the price for that. Cut her some slack.
Alisa: It's okay, Breck. I can
answer the questions myself.
Brecken smiles sheepishly and squeezes Alisa's
hand.
Jane: So, Alisa, you were
assigned to the guardian program and that is where you met
Brecken?
Alisa: Yes! At first it was so
terrible! I didn't want to work! I wanted to rest and have wings and play the
harp! But that's not what happens after you die! Everyone works! (Alisa laughs
and glances at Brecken who smiles back. It's all very
sweet.)
Jane: And you, Brecken, You're
the hot, badboy. You even have a motorcycle?
Alisa: Yes! Yes he
does!
Brecken: Yeah, I have a bike and
I'm not exactly bad. I just have a bad reputation.
Jane: And there is a reason for
that, I presume?
Alisa: Yes! There is, but no one
can know what it is! You'll have to wait and experience the story for yourself.
But I promise it will be worth the wait!
Jane: Is that true,
Brecken?
Brecken: Yeah, it's true. It's
better if people don't know who I really am. Wouldn't want to die before my
time.
Jane: What do you mean? Is there
someone after you, who would do you harm?
Alisa: Um... we need to go now.
(Alisa grabs Brecken and they hurry from the stage.)
Jane: Well, folks, that was quite
the get-a-way. I'll guess we'll have to tune in later to find out what happens
to Brecken and Alisa in... Reluctant Guardian. All right
then.
Our next guests come from a land, far, far away in
Terratir! Let's welcome Zach and his sister, Lauren Marriott, and the cast from
The Eye of Tanub!
*Clapping and cheering from
audience*
Lauren and Zach sit in the chairs next to Jane,
smiling. Dardanos comes in next and sits beside Lauren. He is wearing the
typical armor of a seasoned warrior from the land of
Terratir.
Flitwicket the priestess follows and The Warlord
marches in behind.
Jane: Welcome everyone! Let's
start with Zach and Lauren since this is mostly their story. Lauren, tell us
why you started a diary that recounts your amazing story in the land of
Terratir.
Lauren: Well, it's what happens
when everyone thinks you're nuts. I had to go to a therapist because no one
believed my story of actually going into Zach's stupid Warlord game. But it
happened! It was real and here are the people to prove it. (she gestures to
Dardanos, Flitwicket and the Warlord. Flit smiles and waves at the audience and
the Warlord glares, folding his arms over his massive chest and looks
away.)
So, the therapist told me to write it all down. I
think he was hoping to prove I was crazy.
Jane: Right. Okay.
Zach?
Zach: Oh my gosh! It was the coolest thing ever! I
found a ruby medallion next to my computer and it totally took us into my game.
It was magic. Totally magic!
Jane: That is amazing! So you
were there for two weeks or so, questing with these
friends?
Lauren: Yes, but it was all an
accident. I wasn't supposed to go with Zach, I don't think, and I didn't want
to be there at first. There were monsters and creatures that could kill you at
every turn! We were assigned really hard quests, and I almost screwed
everything up, over and over! (she laughs and Dardanos takes her hand, looking
longingly into her eyes)
Dardanos: She never ruined
anything. She made the adventure complete.
(Zach leans away, sticks his finger in his mouth,
and makes a gagging noise)
Flitwicket: It was a
wonderful experience. The first moment I laid eyes on these
two beautiful children, I knew we were meant to know one another. I have
treadured the time we spend on our quest for the Eye of Tanub. I will never
forget it.
Zach: Flit's my priestess. (Zach
pipes in) She was the first character I made on the game. She has all sorts of
cool powers to heal and stuff.
Jane: Oh?
Zach: Yeah, and then I made
Dardanos. He's a warrior with really cool armor that I picked out myself. I
didn't create the Warlord though. He was already a part of the game. You know,
to be the bad guy.
Warlord: I am NOT the bad guy!
All I wanted was to live in peace in Terratir, garnering the riches and
knowledge the Eye of Tanub could bring me! (He cries out with righteous
indignation!)
Lauren: And making people kill
for you and be your slaves. (she mumbles)
The Warlord jumps up with a growl and leaps for
Lauren. Dardanos jumps between them, shoving the Warlord back. Dardanos pulls
out his sword and and everyone freezes in
astonishment.
Jane: Um, I think it's time for a
commercial break.
