(view of a mob of people running towards the screen. switches to rett running + looking over his
shoulder constantly. the mob is throwing things at him (i.e., stones). he gets away from them...

CTZ Script:
(white letters on black background)
"Rett..."
"Oh, Rett!!"
"Come on, sleepy-head!
Wake up!"
(wavering screen effect to scene: rett on "bed" in a semi-lit room. no other furniture in rm.)
Rett wakes up. He looks around as if confused for some reason. he gets up, shakes his head as
if to clear it...
Player takes control of character: leave room and enter hallway. inspect table to find 200g.
Enter dining room.
IN DINING ROOM
(can return here later to restore energy/HP/MP by sleeping in bed)
(you enter a small room. in the center is a simple wooden table with people clustered around it.
most of them look serious and rather sober. the dining room, like the previous room and the
hallway, is ill-lit.)
Citizen #1- We live underground to be safe from invasion. The Doran soldiers
are a constant threat!.
Citizen #1 (2nd time)- My only wish is to survive! (mumbles) And Norgon thinks
he will turn things around, ha!
Citizen #2- I think you should talk to Norgon. He is waiting for you outside.
Citizen #3- I hate living underground!
Citizen 3 (2nd time): I wish I lived in Doran!
Citizen 4: Challenge me! If you win, you earn 50g!!

(on menu exit:)
weaponsmith: I once made better weapons using a special tool,
but i can't afford the price the merchant is selling it for!
weaponsmith: If you get it for me, I'll make you a better weapon than the one you have.
What do you say? Hell, I'll make it for you for free!
weaponsmith (2nd time): I'll make it for you for free!
(go buy special tool from merchant.
if you don't have enough $$$, then battle citizen 4 until you do, that's what he's there for)
(give special tool to the weapon smith)
weaponsmith: You bought the special tool! May I
have it?
yes -> thank you! come back later, and i'll have it ready for you.
no -> Well, alright, but just remember, i'm the only one around here who's qualified to make
weapons!
(inspect only empty spot at table. rett
bends over. recieve tablet!)
citizen 6: Doran, the village to the north, is constantly trying to invade us. I can't see why we
can't just get along.
citizen #7- You must be an outsider. We don't usually welcome your kind here, but Norgon makes
some exceptions at times. (whispers) Between you and me, the Doranians have a much
better leader. He's not afraid to put his foot down when someone threatens his ideas.
citizen 7 (2nd time): the doranians have a much better leader.
citizen 8: (near a small stove in a corner) hi there. would you
like something to eat? our rations are rather low...
HP/MP RESTORED!
OUTSIDE
voice: hey rett! over here!
(you see a girl with green hair. she goes offscreen and rett follows. you enter a barren, snow-covered
area. the girl is in the beginning of this area.)
girl: norgon wants to talk to you
(she starts to walk towards the back of the area, but rett
stops her)
rett: how do you know my name?
girl: norgon told me to go look for a guy with red hair who answered to the name "rett." and since
you're the only one around here with red hair... by the way, my name is
(switch to menu screen, automatic name of choice "cele", but player can change name to anything
but marle, kid, lucca, chrono, lynx, or serge (same 4 all chars. names))
cele: my name's "cele"... now come on!
(cele wanders offscreen again. follow her and
find her standing next to an elderly-looking man with a long, white beard leaning on a staff.
in the background you can see deep-purple mountains, their tops wreathed in snow)
Norgon- It's good to see you up and about! How do you like your living
quarters?
rett: You mean besides the fact that I'm living in a hole in the ground?
I think I was better off as an outcast!
Norgon: You don't really mean that, do you? Perhaps you enjoyed sleeping
out in the snow, freezing to death?
Rett- Well at least I wouldn't have to listen to you ordering me around all
the time! I don't need you, old man. I don't need anybody!
Norgon- Do you remember the condition you were in before I brought you to
this village? You were half dead! And you call yourself self-sufficient.
(rett and cele
sweatdrop)
Rett- I've had enough of you old timer, I'm outta here!
(turns away)
Norgon- Wait, you can't go yet! Despite the fact that you are a self-centered boy, I still need your help! (rett
turns back around) You see, we have been at war with the Doran village for quite
some time now. I need you to bring us together! I believe you could be... well, never mind that
right now. Will you help me or not?
YES -> It's good to see that you are at least REASONABLE.
Norgon (if yes 1rst time)- I need you to go to their village and talk to Dorin. You both seem
to have the same personality, so maybe you can talk some sense into him! Be sure to get a good
sword before you leave. You never know how he'll react! Oh yeah, and talk to me again when you
get a sword. Good Luck! (mumbles) I hope I'm making the right choice...
NO -> Well, if you're going to be that way, then go! Maybe you aren't the person I
thought you were...
(ask him again if you change your mind)
Norgon: Will you help me or not?
YES -> It's good to see that you are at least REASONABLE.
NO -> Well, if you're going to be that way, then go! Maybe you aren't the person I
thought you were...
Norgon: (if yes) I see you changed your mind... I need you to go to their village and talk to Dorin. You
both seem to have the same personality, so maybe you can talk some sense into him! I believe that
he has his brother locked in a dungeon, and if we were to set doran free, then this whole mess
would be over with. Be sure to get a good sword before you leave, though. You never know how
that man'll react. Find me when you get the sword. Good Luck! (turns around and
mumbles) I hope I'm making the right choice...
rett: (three dots over his head)
(to reach the underground village, roll the boulder blocking the way. go back to the
weaponsmith. the weapon will be ready)
weaponsmith: Here ya go! That's the weapon I promised you! I hope that weapon helps you on your
journey!

how to use it!
(fight norgon. he beats you, but he tutors you
on majic and technique. your hp is restored after the battle. (fanfare) RETT LEVEL UP! (HP
increased to 45))
Norgon: Now that you know how to decently use a weapon, go talk to
Dorin!
Cele: Hi, Rett! I was wondering... can I come with you?
Rett: You're a girl, what could you do?
Cele- Well, I...
Rett: (interrupts) Great, just great! I
told that old man I didn't need help! Why doesn't he listen? Well, I guess you can come...
as long as you don't screw anything up.
Cele: Oh, thank you Rett! You won't regret this!
Rett: (mumbles) I think I already am...

woman is young. little girl has reddish-brown hair)
man: w-w-where did you come from?
woman: we've been trapped here for the past three days. that evil sasquatch wouldn't let us leave!
i'm surprised he didn't get you, too!
cele: well, that sasquatch won't trouble you any longer. we got rid of
him!
(little girl runs up to party) girl: really? you did? wow...
man: we're saved!
woman: but there's still the problem of those monsters outside this cave...
rett: monsters? ha! nothing can stop the great rett!
(cele sweatdrops. everyone leaves cave
by way of the ladder in the back. outside, penguins are playing catch using abominable snowballs.

thank you.
(party follow family to doran (world map view)).
DORAN
(enter doran, + pass some structures that look like large mounds of snow. enter 2nd house on
party's left (top of screen). small fire burning in the back. notice that "snow huts" are actually
made of wood and mud. table in middle, with three stools at sides + back of table. two more stools
near fireplace, + small, green, woven mat nfront of fire.)
(little girl scampers about room)
(in family's snow hut)
man: i'm sorry, but in the hustle and bustle of escaping, i think we weren't
properly introduced. my name is miguel, and this is my wife, mara, and our daughter leena.
cele: my name is cele, and this is rett.
(miguel sits at table while mara brings the other stools to the table, motioning
party to sit. they sit.)
miguel: where do you all hail from?
(cele sweatdrops,
rett interrupts:)
rett: we're from donver
(cele turns to look at
rett with a question mark over her head)
miguel: donver? really? that's pretty far away. how is everything over there?
rett: chaos, as usual...
miguel: yes... i know what you mean...
(now there are 3question marks over cele
's head)
cele: (?-marks dissappearing) yes, we're
new here... what can you tell us about doran?
miguel: (sigh) doran is the main village in the
doranian kingdom. we used to be a peaceful village,
but now we are constantly at war with the neighboring villages. currently, the king, dorin, is
quite upset, because one of the villages he was planning to take over has dissappeared.
(cele and rett
look at eachother) dorin's soldiers have been looking everywhere for it, but it's just
gone... and now we have to suffer for it! (slams fist on table. everyone jumps
and sweatdrops)
mara: dorin once had a twin brother named doran, who was king of our villages.
he was nice and gentle, and then he disappeared. no one knows what happened to him. dorin always
maintained that his brother could no longer take the pressures of being king, so he became an outsider...
no one believes it, though, because dorin never liked doran, and had even accused him of being
responsible for the current condition of the world, even though everyone knows that lavos covered
the lands in snow long ago, destroying all technology in the process.
miguel: dorin makes us work for him... we are his slaves! we have no free will whatsoever! most
people are sheep, and think that dorin is a better leader than his brother, only because dorin
seems to have technology in his castle...
leena: when i grow up, i wanna marry dorin!
(exclamation points appear over miguel + mara's heads)
mara: (standing) leena! how dare you! dorin is
a mon...!
(miguel runs over to mara, quieting her)
mara: mmmnnrr...rrrnn...fffrrnnmmmnnfffrrr!!
miguel: mara! be careful what you say! dorin's soldiers are everywhere! (sits
back down) I'm sorry, but dorin has very strict rules... it's like we're under
a dictatorship... actually, it is a dictatorship! we're not even allowed to think
what we want! i wish doran were still king...
cele: what a coincidence! we were sent here to find doran!
miguel: (!!!) (stands up) you what???
rett: oh, now you've done it...
miguel: this is wonderful news! (rett: (!))
it is rumoured that doran is still alive,
but i don't know where... but you are just what this village needs, young warriors! why don't i
join you in your search?
(fanfare) MIGUEL JOINED YOUR PARTY!
(char. name selection screen...)
(HP 65

weapon: bronze rod

miguel: now then, let's go see what information we can gather on doran's
dissappearance
mara: good luck, miguel! and please be careful!
leena: bye, daddy!
(party leaves miguel's house and continue
up the street. enter house on right.)
man: doran is a great king! He's protected us from outsiders and he even lets us
work in Doran Castle. What an honor! We are better off now than we were when Doran was king!
(house across the street:)
man: I heard a rumor that Doran is actually being held in the dungeon of Doran
Castle. Oh, but don't tell anyone I told you!

before, so you must be with them!
cele: we don't know what you're talking about! we've never even heard of the
black wing, honest!
rett: look, guy, i don't know what you're going on about, but i'm no member
of the black fang, or whatever it is...
man: i don't believe you... but you'll never take me alive! ha!
