FFBE Script Part 164: Into the Darkness
Jan. 17th, 2022 04:16 pmPreviously...
CHAOTIC DARKNESS - INTO THE DARKNESS - DIM WETLANDS
(The party is fighting fodder in a darkened field.)
Rain: Doesn't the air here feel a lot heavier than it did before?
Nichol: Yeah. This is indeed strange.
Lasswell: There are also distortions in space. Let us proceed with care.
Rain: Yeah. That's right.
(Wave 1 of battle commences. There is no further dialogue.)
CHAOTIC DARKNESS - INTO THE DARKNESS - DIM WETLANDS 2
(The party is walking along but comes to a stop. Ahead of them is a curtain of darkness.)
Sakura: Th-this...
Raegen: I can't see anything up ahead. It's complete darkness.
Nichol: What should we do? There is no other way to reach the Chaotic Darkness....
Rain: We have no choice but to push onward. There is no road for us but the one which leads forward.
(The camera pans to focus on Lid, at the back of the party.)
Lid: W-we're going in here?
(Lid shuffles closer to Fina.)
Lid: Hey.... Fina.... Can I hold onto your hand? I'm not a big fan of the dark...
Fina: Sure, Lid. I'd feel better walking with you, too.
Jake: What's that, my lovely Lid? You need only have asked and I would have gladly walked hand-in-hand with you anywhere.
(Jake walks on off screen.)
Lid: What!? Hold on a minute! Fina, sorry! Just give me a second here!
Fina: S-sure.
(Lid runs after Jake, who's standing next to Nichol.)
Lid: What's with the kicked puppy act, huh, Jake? Even if I hold Fina's hand while I walk, I've still got another hand free, haven't I?
(Jake steps closer to Nichol.)
Jake: I guess I've got on one else to turn to. Nichol? Shall we clasp our hands in manly companionship?
Lid: What!? Seriously, what is going on!?
(Nichol sweats a single large drop.)
Nichol: J-Jake... I...I'm not sure how to respond to that...
Jake: Ha ha ha! You daft fool. Are you really that bothered? It's obviously a joke!
(Lid runs off screen.)
Lid: Stop with the stupid jokes, would you?
(Lid comes flying back on screen, pummeling Jake and sending him off screen into the darkness.)
Jake: Gah!
Nichol: Ah.... Jake...
Lid: All right. Enough of that! If that idiot can go in there all alone, then I don't think any of us will be able to take getting left behind!
Rain: R-right...
(The party follows after Jake.)
