《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.10 - Get the Laptop
Advertisement
[Sissel quickly moves into a stairwell, empty. Once he’s in, he sits down and Tracey appears behind him with Goldberg.]
Tracey: Problem?
Sissel: [worried] I need to talk to Liv and steal Goldberg’s laptop.
Goldberg: Hey, if you’re gonna be working with me, you can call me Richard.
Sissel: [worried] I need Dick’s laptop.
Goldberg: [annoyed] Okay, you… you said that too quickly.
Tracey: How do we get Richie’s laptop?
Goldberg: I prefer that. Also before you guys saw me, I was mainly just… walking-
Sissel: Correction, haunting.
Goldberg: Whatever, I was in the college. And my stuff? It’s still here too.
[Tracey and Sissel turn to Goldberg.]
Goldberg: [confused] What? The powers-that-be told them to keep my stuff.
Tracey: [surprised] That doesn’t seem professional.
Goldberg: [defensive] Probably not, but it’s still good for us.
Sissel: If we’re keeping this power a secret then we’re gonna need to get that laptop. Wherever it is.
Goldberg: Still my office, last I checked.
Sissel: Well… Go Busters!
[Sissel raises his hands up in fists, where Tracey fists bumps it. He looks to Goldberg.]
Goldberg: Yeah, I’m not doing that.
[Sissel pushes himself up.]
Sissel: Suit yourself, Dick.
[Goldberg groans as Sissel walks up the stairs and through a corridor, following after him. Tracey stays in this room. Goldberg quickly catches up to Sissel.]
Goldberg: [annoyed] Just to clarify, can you not keep calling m-
Sissel: What was your power?
Goldberg: [annoyed] Pardon?
Sissel: I need to know your power. Now.
Goldberg: I could alter the reality of things that I touched.
Sissel: [chuckling] Okay, that’s pretty cool actually.
Goldberg: And my second-
[Sissel quickly stops Goldberg in a doorway.]
Sissel: [worried] I’m sorry, did you just say second?
Goldberg: Yeah… some people get a second power.
Sissel: [worried] I…

[Sissel quickly gets his notebook out and scribbles in it.]
Sissel: [worried] I will keep that noted.
Goldberg: [confused] Anyway, my second power? I could see the future.
[Sissel nods, scribbling it down on his page as “future, 2” directly over the word “Chelsea”. He quickly closes the book.]
Goldberg: [confused] Okay, how the hell do you understand that? That’s just a mess.
Sissel: It just works, come on.
[Sissel quickly moves towards a lift, heading in with Goldberg. It starts going up.]
Sissel: Tracey already there?
Goldberg: I’d be surprised if she wasn’t.
Sissel: Then can you help me with something?
Goldberg: [confused] I already am?
Sissel: I need you to help Tracey move into a proper afterlife.
[Goldberg looks to Sissel.]
Goldberg: [surprised] Seriously?
Sissel: Look, you… you a religious man?
Goldberg: [surprised] Well… okay, yes, but I’m not even close to devout enough to understand why we’re still on Earth! We go somewhere else, I don’t know the story of how we get there.
Sissel: Yeah, well, we need to do something.
[Goldberg looks at Sissel surprised.]
Goldberg: [surprised] Why? I… based on how you were acting about it, I thought you would wanna keep her around.
[Sissel shakes his head.]
Sissel: That’s not what she deserves.
Goldberg: [surprised] Okay… okay, I’ll try and… try and find something. Anything.
Sissel: [hesitant] Thank you.
Goldberg: Just give me time.
[Goldberg slowly fades away as the door opens. Sissel makes it out and sees Tracey there, smiling.]
Tracey: Hey.
Sissel: Hey.
[They come over and hold hands, then move towards the offices.]
Tracey: Do you know your way around here?
Sissel: Shouldn’t be hard, I mean…
[Sissel opens a door to show the office rooms lined up.]
Sissel: One of these rooms is going to be missing a name surely, so just find-

Tracey: [triumphant] Did it!
[Sissel looks surprised as Tracey drags her over to the door labelled “23”. The name tag has been removed. Sissel is dumbfounded.]
Sissel: [dumbfounded] How the hell do I function without you?
Tracey: [triumphant] I ask myself every day.
[She quickly kisses Sissel and moves through the door, making him sigh.]
Sissel: [loud] I can’t do that.
Tracey: [through door] Sorry.
[Sissel grabs the door handle, shaking it a bit. He tries to push the door open, bashing into it from the side.]
Tracey: [through door] Need help?
Sissel: [loud] It’s fine, I’ll… sort it out eventually.
Tracey: [through door] Don’t need my help?
Sissel: [loud] Not right now.
[The door suddenly glows bright, scaring Sissel and making him fall back. He falls to the ground, now seen by Hyde.]
Hyde: What are you doing?
[Sissel jumps again.]
Tracey: [through door] Are you okay?
Sissel: [jumpy] I just… I-I needed to get to Goldberg’s office.
Hyde: Well it isn’t Goldberg’s office anymore, it’s mine.
[He moves in front of the door.]
Sissel: [jumpy] W-why is that?
Hyde: Well when a teacher dies…
[He moves in front of the door, sliding in “Louis Hyde” where the name tag should go.]
Hyde: And you then take their job, it usually means that they don’t get an office anymore.
[Hyde unlocks the door as Sissel gets up.]
Sissel: [jumpy] Okay.
[Hyde opens the door and finds the desk with a series of boxes across it and Goldberg’s laptop still out. He sighs.]
Hyde: I can deal with this.
[Hyde enters, Sissel quickly entering the doorway and seeing Tracey sat on the desk.]
Hyde: [joking] Even got me a free laptop!
Tracey: That isn’t his, is it?
[Sissel shook his head as Hyde turns on the laptop.]
Sissel: [hesitant] Hey, I don’t think-
Hyde: [defensive] I’m just trying to see if it works, don’t worry about it.
[Hyde turns on the computer and sees the screensaver, face dropping. He sighs and closes the laptop.]
Sissel: [confused] C-can I get it now?
Hyde: [worried] Yeah, sure. This is Goldberg’s, right?
Sissel: Yeah, it is.
[Tracey looks at Hyde’s face intensely.]
Hyde: Seems like a nice guy.
[Sissel nods, turning and walking out of the room. Once the door is closed, Hyde leans down to the desk and sighs. His phone gets a message, which he checks. The name Whitley Barbit is there.]
Rabbit: [text only] Do it now. Or else you’re gone.
[Hyde sighs, pocketing his phone. Outside, Sissel is booting up Goldberg’s computer with Tracey by his shoulder. The screensaver comes up.]
Tracey: Okay, did it! Recognize anyone?
Sissel: [certain] Nope.
[Tracey sighs.]
Tracey: Well so much for a good start.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
