INT. JOUR - LE TRAIN / WAGON 7

Le soleil d'un après midi de fin d'été pointe, haut dans le

ciel, à travers l'épaisse vitre du train en marche.

Dehors, le paysage défile à une vitesse vertigineuse.

Un jeune homme, dont on ne perçoit pas le visage, est perdu

dans ses pensées : PLAYER.

PLAYER (P)
...

Il jette un coup d'œil à son téléphone : "No internet"

Il appelle sa messagerie.

VOICEMAIL
You have *0* new message. You have
*1* saved message.

*BEEP*

MOM'S VOICE
Hi, sweat heart ! I hope you're
having a great day. I was just
calling to tell you the good news : I
know I should wait for you to answer
the phone, but here I go : *PLAYER*,
i'm...

????
Tickets please !

PLAYER sursaute, et range précipitamment son téléphone dans

sa poche:

Une main féminine coiffée d'une casquette de contrôleur est

tendue dans sa direction, en attente des billets.

PLAYER

Huh... Yeah, sure. One moment please.

 2.

PLAYER (P)
... I didn't even notice someone was
approaching.

????
...

PLAYER fouille frénétiquement ses affaires.

OBJET REQUIS : TICKET

L'inventaire du PLAYER est vide.

SYSTEME/MESSAGE TUTORIEL
"This is your inventory. This is the
storage place of all the items you'll
gather during your Journey. You can
try and use them on everything you
think of interest, and see what
happens! But please don't pick up too
much garbage from the ground...
That's gross."

PLAYER (P)
....

SYSTEME/MESSAGE TUTORIEL
"... it seems like there are no
tickets in you inventory. Sometimes,
you will need a specific item to
progress in the story. Be mindful of
your surroudings and make sure you
don't miss an important item !

... But right now, I think you're

screwed, though.

????
So, no tickets ?

PLAYER
1. That's right.
2. ... I'm afraid so.

????
1. Not even ashamed, huh ?
2. I see...

PLAYER (P)
Here goes nothing...
 3.

PLAYER
1. I have other means of payment.
*WINK*
2. I am deeply sorry, miss. Maybe I
can make up for it some way or
another ?

????
... Yeah, I think I know how you can
make this right.

PLAYER (P)
... No way ? It worked ?

????
Jump off the train.

PLAYER
... !!!

????
Go ahead. I'll open up the door.

PLAYER
1. You're not serious, right ?
2. ... Are you sure ?

????
1. Dead serious. Hurry up, I don't
have all day. And you don't want to
lose anymore of my time, that you can
be sure of.
2. Trust me, I am. You should hurry
up, who knows when we will be
crossing a bridge ?

PLAYER (P)
... What kind of train is this ? What
should I do ?

SYSTEME
1. Play tough
2. Run away

Dans les deux cas :

Le PLAYER se lève, prêt à passer à l'action, l'air grave,

quand soudain la silhouette éclate de rire.

????
AHAHA, NOW WAY ? You were seriously
going to do it? For real ?
 4.

PLAYER
... No, I...

On voit désormais très clairement le visage de la silhouette

: il s'agit d'ECHO, la louve garoue, coiffée d'une simple
casquette de contrôleur, mais le reste de la tenue
totalement décontractée.

????
... I can't believe you bit it. You
don't even need any tickets to enter
this train ! You're so funny. You're
the new student, right ? My name's
Echo, pleased to meet you !

PLAYER
1. ... Pleased to meet you aswell.
I'm PLAYER. But...
2. ... (stay silent)

ECHO
Oh, don't worry, everyone already
knows your name, we got a e-mail just
yesterday.

Elle montre sa casquette.

ECHO (cont'd)
This is an old cap I got from my
theater club ! I was supposed to give
it back last year, but I forgot and
kept it in my bags for the whole
summer! Do you imagine the
embarrasment ? Well, at least I guess
it fits me, if you really thought I
was a controller !

PLAYER
... I guess it does.

Maintenant qu'elle met sa tête en évidence, on remarque

clairement les deux oreilles poilues qui dépassent de sa
chevelure.

PLAYER (P)
... Man, who's that girl ? She's so
talkative... And why does she have...

ECHO
Anyway, I'm happy we met so soon. I
really hope you're gonnat have a nice
year with us. Although I'm not really
sure why they picked up someone
like... You.
 5.

PLAYER
1. What do you mean, "like me" ?
2. What are those ? Fake ears ?

ECHO
1. OH ! I'm sorry, I didn't want to
be rude. I'm very happy we have a bit
more diversity at the school!
2. Ahaha ! You're definetly funny. I
hope we'll be sitting next to each
other.

But I have to go now, get back to my

seat. Again, I'm really happy to have
met you. I'll see you soon. Bye !

SYSTEME
"And just like that, she storms out
of the wagon."

PLAYER (P)
Man, what a strange girl.

PLAYER regarde à travers la fenêtre. Le soleil est encore

haut dans le ciel.

PLAYER (P) (cont'd)

Well, I got an e-mail too. It said it
would take many hours for the train
to make it to... What's the name
again ?

Bah, no matter. I got accepted to a

new school, I'm not gonna complain.

PLAYER s'étire, il baille.

PLAYER (P) (cont'd)

Maybe I should get some sleep.

SYSTEME/MESSAGE TUTORIEL
