=== POSTSHOW_WHALESONG === #Environment: Erosion_postshow #AddChar: Vez, Pose: neutral #AddChar: Skyler, Pose: neutral #AddChar: Micah, Pose: neutral #AddChar: Fern, Pose: neutral #AddChar: Akai, Pose: neutral AKAI: LET'S GET WASTED! VEZ: I think Akai means "great first show!" AKAI: I never said you were great. But half the crowd seemed to love it. {L0_song == "Whale Song in Whaleish": ~ community_analogs = true ~ community_whales = true SKYLER: Half? Told you Whaleish wouldn't connect with all the fans. FERN: Not true! We've been invited to not one but TWO communities on Harmony! AKAI: WOOO! BUST OUT THE PREMIUM OIL! AKAI: For me. You all can drink champagne or whatever. MICAH: Which communities? - else: ~ community_allforall = true SKYLER: Your robot eyes must need adjustment 'cause EVERYONE was grooving along, even the whales and those unplugged weirdos. VEZ: The Analogs aren't weird. FERN: No, but even though they liked the song, they were disappointed Vez didn't sing any lyrics in Whaleish. FERN: AND they told the whales that Vez knows Whaleish, so then the whales were disappointed too. MICAH: How do you know that? FERN: I read it on Harmony! All For All invited us to their community and they're pretty big gossips. SKYLER: What else are they saying? } FERN: Go see for yourself! #ShowHarmonyButton //The above command was #ShowCameraControls in Cursed Café and I think we can use the same command structure here to show the Harmony button for the first time. After this, the Harmony button will always be available to the player to click or ignore, but for this first time, I think we should make players click on it. + [HARMONY] //Players click on the "Harmony" button to see the communities they now have access to. -> HARMONY -> //In this ink script, Harmony is its own file that acts like a "tunnel", meaning it points back to whatever scene the player came from. - {L0_song == "Whale Song in Whaleish": -> ICONOCLASTS - else: -> IDEALISTS } = ICONOCLASTS VEZ: We did it! Whales are now part of the Bandocracy. FERN: YAY! Our first song influenced positive change! SKYLER: How'd the whales get on Harmony so fast? Hire someone with thumbs? AKAI: Get over yourself. Thumbs aren't necessary in a voice-controlled world. MICAH: The whales have been on Harmony for a while, they just needed us to listen to their ideas. FERN: And now we're listening! SKYLER: Not that you understand what the whales are saying. FERN: I will soon! I'm signing up for Whaleish lessons RIGHT NOW. FERN: Want me to sign you up too? + SKYLER: Sure. Personal growth is part of my comeback. ~ Skyler_growth++ + SKYLER: Nah. I'm not a linguist like Vez. - -> RELATIONSHIP = IDEALISTS VEZ: We failed. Whales are still not part of the Bandocracy, and everyone's just gossiping about whether Skyler and I will hook up again. SKYLER: That's a win, Vez! Gossip means the fans care! VEZ: About us, but not the whales. Our song was supposed to make them care about the whales! + VEZ: I sang in English so people would understand! + VEZ: I should've sang in Whaleish. MICAH: It might not have made a difference. - AKAI: HUMANS SUCK! MICAH: True. People don't always listen to the message. FERN: Maybe they did but they're just not ready to commit yet? SKYLER: You talking about humans and whales, or me and Vez? {Skyler_growth >= 0: FERN: Both? FERN: Give love a second chance! You were such a hot couple! - else: FERN: (sadly) Both. } MICAH: Fern's right, though. {Skyler_growth >= 0:About humans and whales, not Vez and Skyler.} MICAH: People didn't say "no" to the whales. Not yet. VEZ: Wow, Micah, did you just look on the bright side?! MICAH: Fern must be rubbing off on me. FERN: See! People are capable of change! So, we didn't fail, we just didn't win right away. -> RELATIONSHIP = RELATIONSHIP #PlaySFX: Akai_excited AKAI: THERE IS NO ENCORE! {IDEALISTS: FERN: I disagree! It was only our first show. AKAI: An encore is not the same as another kick at the can. AKAI: But I'm not here to debate semantics with you. And... - else: AKAI: (sigh) Time to go. } AKAI: I'm not programmed to pack up the gear, {IDEALISTS:either|by the way}. #RemChar: Akai Akai rolls out and the others finish packing up. MICAH: You need a ride, kid? FERN: Depends what you're driving! MICAH: Cargo trike. Bucket's got a padded seat and everything. FERN: YES! Can I ring the bell?! MICAH: No. FERN: Fair. I probably can't reach it from the bucket seat anyway. MICAH: No, you can't. Let's go. FERN: Bye, Vez! Bye, Skyler! #RemChar: Micah #RemChar: Fern As Fern skips out after Micah, Skyler turns to Vez. VEZ: No. SKYLER: I haven't even said anything yet! VEZ: The answer is still no. SKYLER: But I'm not asking a question! I just want to tell you that... SKYLER: I've changed. I'm not the same shallow fame-seeker I was before. {guitar_whalesong == "Human": VEZ: That guitar solo you busted out tonight begs to differ. - else: VEZ: I can tell you're trying. I noticed that restrained guitar riff you played tonight. VEZ: But people who've changed don't just say, "I've changed." } VEZ: Besides, you know the real issue was never your love of the spotlight. SKYLER: (sighs) I know, but I'm not like you. I don't know what "causes" to support. VEZ: It's not a right or wrong answer. Not really. VEZ: But if you're in a band, you need to care about the world and what's happening in it, one way or the other. + SKYLER: I don't know how to do that. SKYLER: Can you help me? VEZ: I can't make you care about stuff, Skyler. You need to take an interest in things outside of yourself. ++ SKYLER: But I do! -> TEST_SKYLER ++ SKYLER: I'll try. SKYLER: Guess I should start watching the news? VEZ: That'd be a good start. -> ASK_VEZ + SKYLER: But I do care! -> TEST_SKYLER = TEST_SKYLER //HJ: I'm out of hours for this draft! So this section is still just paraphrased. Feel free to come up with a funny whale knowledge question. Vez asks a question that tests Skyler's knowledge about the whales' cause to be part of the Bandocracy. Skyler fails it. She just hasn't been paying attention. But she gets Vez's point and promises to start taking an interest in what's going on in the world. -> ASK_VEZ = ASK_VEZ SKYLER: I want to be a better person, bandmate, maybe even... friend? VEZ: I'd like that too. SKYLER: Great! Want to start by getting a drink or something? I know this place just around the corner. + VEZ: Sure, I could use a drink. ~ L0_drinks = true {vocals_whalesong == "Whaleish": VEZ: Singing in Whaleish is hard on the vocal cords. VEZ: So, lead the way! - else: VEZ: It's been a while since I performed in a big venue. VEZ: I forgot how thirsty I get. SKYLER: I'm always thirst-- Nevermind. Forget I was about to say that. SKYLER: Okay, so, follow me! } + VEZ: Nope, I'm not falling for that again. ~ L0_drinks = false VEZ: Let's keep things professional between us. SKYLER: Aren't "professional drinks between colleagues" a thing? VEZ: Not with you they're not. Goodnight, Skyler. - #RemChar: Vez #RemChar: Skyler -> REWARD_SCREEN === REWARD_SCREEN === We've not designed this yet. Keana has a rough mock up on Miro. I think that if we end each level on a Reward Screen, we should start the new day with a brief scene in the Practice Space, rather than dropping players straight into the PLAYLIST to choose the next show, which is what it looks like now on the Miro board. Anyhoo, I'll write that next. -> PRACTICE_L1
