"Fade in from black in a dimly lit room in utter disrepair: cluttered, plaster peeling, windows broken. Camera is first person. The CAPTOR is sitting on the floor opposite the viewer, back against the wal1.
CAPTOR
Welcome back, love.
The CAPTOR rises and walks toward the viewer. He brings his face uncomfortably close to the viewer, leaning in and leering.
CAPTOR (speaking with an unsteady, bouncing rhythm)
I had to sedate you again. You keep trying to get out. But I can't let you out. It's too big and too dangerous out there. I wouldn't want you damaged. You're my favourite. My favourite.
The CAPTOR suddenly grabs the viewer's shoulders and shakes them violently (still in first-person).
CAPTOR
GOD DAMN IT! You took her, didn't you? It was you! It WAS you! You got out and you took Sophie away and hid her and now I can't find her! And there's too many places to look and you won't tell me. WHERE DID YOU HIDE MY SOPHIE?
The CAPTOR suddenly strikes the viewer across the face, causing the viewpoint to swing wildly to the right. A closed door comes into view and the CAPTOR begins sobbing off-screen as the scene fades to black.
Fade in on the same room, same viewpoint. The CAPTOR is pacing across the room, seemingly deep in thought. Presently he wheels around and glares at the viewer.
CAPTOR (petulantly)
Oh, you've decided to join us, have you? I've just been in contact with Black Mesa c.14 and they're extremely interested in you. Oh yes, they want to know all about you. That's right. No. No it's not. They don't care about you, they don't give a damn about you. They think you're crazy just because you can see how everything fits together. They don't want to know how everything fits. You won't tell them, will you? My Sophie, my god. I know every detail of her capture, her imprisonment. How she was kept drugged by those Combine bastards in their iron tower. Locked alone in a room. Well. I've got a radio, and I can tell anyone I like about it. I don't like you. You're rude. You just go to sleep whenever you feel like it. I don't know who taught you manners, but it damned well wasn't me.
The CAPTOR sighs and, almost routinely, grabs a length of pipe from the floor and socks the viewer in the jaw with it. Fade to black.
VO and sound over a black screen. Gunfire, a small explosion. Shouting.
CAPTOR
What the hell?
Fade in from black. The door seen last slides into focus just as a booted foot kicks it open. A pair of RESISTANCE MEMBERS run in with guns in hand. The CAPTOR scurries to a door opposite and disappears around a corner.
REBEL #1
Should we go after him?
REBEL #2
This is a rescue mission, not a manhunt. We've got what we came for.
(to the viewer)
Are you alright, buddy? Can you stand?
The viewpoint rises unsteadily as the player gets to his feet.
REBEL #2
We've gotta get you back to base. Come on!"
So begins a love story of sorts. I've got some practice at mapping, but little else. I would love any help or suggestions anyone is willing to offer. Cheers.
