ROUGH OUT OF DATE DRAFT
Calm down! You only need to remember one thing!
What? What do I need to remember?
Protect the children! Pine needles! Duck! Don't break any stained glass windows! Wipe the blood from your left eye! Deflect that arrow before it hits your wife. I can see again! Please make it stop! Flowers! I can’t breathe! I just need a cold stream! You’re injured! No, that's wrong? I’m injured! Prioritise the woman with the crossbow! You... No... I have an arrow in your leg? That’s wrong? I have an arrow in my leg? Focus! I’m so thirsty! Kill him first! You love the smell of pine needles!
That’s more than one thing to remember?
It’s all fine, there’s nothing to worry about. You’re doing great! You're out of position; move to the left! Stop the crossbow bolt! Good! Stained glass windows! Roll to the side and lunge! There are still 21 children! They’re all still alive! It’s all fine!
Apart from the children they killed!
Those children were killed before you were born! I'm so sorry!
They were killed before I was born?
Yes, they died because I made a mistake! That's why you've been summoned! I need complete focus! I need a Demon! You're better than me! Think of the smell of pine needles! A cold stream! A full moon! Flowers! Stained glass windows! Stop her; she's going to get through! Stop her! Good, that was too close! A cool breeze! We're out of... I'm out of throwing knives? How can I be out of throwing knives? Take his water bottle and throw it to the children behind you. Oh, and take your throwing knife from his chest while you're at it!
I have a throwing knife! Well, don't just stare at the knife you idiot; throw it? Focus! There are twelve throwing knives around the hall! Look, that idiot actually brought a mace! Hilarious!
It's all fine! There are still 21 children left alive! The only thing you need to remember is: don’t look down!
How can I find my throwing knives without looking down?
I looked down…
I can't see! There's blood in my eyes!
No, there's no blood in your eyes; it's tears! You're crying!
No, they're not my tears; they're your tears! Because I don't cry!
Look, I'm just confusing you; you're doing great! This is why the children summoned you! This is what you do! Focus! There are 21 children, and they need your help!
Wait! Please don't leave me alone. I need your help! What was the one thing I have to remember?
Protect the children!
Seriously? What exactly do you think I'm trying to do here? Of course I’m protecting the children! You're nothing but a snivelling little crybaby! Run off to hide in that little corner. Go hide beneath the covers. Because I don't need you!
And we weren't screaming at them in fury…
I was screaming at them in fury...
No! Please don't leave me alone! I need your help! Please come back?
No! I don't need your help because I work alone! I could escape through the stained glass window! No! I don't break stained glass windows! I need a cold stream? A full moon? I've just been born, so I've never seen a full moon.
It's fine. I don't need anyone! I work alone! I am a Demon! I am Death! Blink away your tears! Blink away his tears, because I don't cry! I kill, and I kill, and I kill! I love killing! Because that's what I do! That's why I was summoned! To kill! Again, and again, and again! And I love killing!
And I hate killing! And I hate blood! And I hate tears!
And what the hell is wrong with the world? Why are you trying to kill them? They're only children?
It's all fine! There are still 21 children left alive! Focus!
And I was screaming at them in fury...
As I was born in blood and tears, I will die in blood and tears!
I have one single purpose! My purpose is..? What was my purpose again..?
You all know the nursery rhyme? Call for me if you are in trouble!
My task? My oath? My curse? My wife's dying wish?
Protect The Children!
Because:
I Am The Reaper!
