PioneersProductions Finale Series: Amnesia Rape, The Search For Remember, Extinction, Resurrection, Absolution, Abyss  "Amnesia Rape" After a weight set falls on Randy's head, Randy suffers long term memory loss. Froggy finds him unconscious on the floor and begins to panic. As Randy regains consciousness, he freaks out when he discovers Froggy can talk. Although worried about the situation, Froggy takes advantage of the possibilities and ties Randy up. The Whale enters the scene and prepares himself for a moment that he has longed for his entire life. Froggy sets up a video camera and records the Whale having his way with Randy. During the action, his memory returns. Froggy refuses to hand over the footage. He breaks free from the rope and beats up Froggy and the Whale. Facts: - This is first episode in the EGS Saga. "The Search For Remember" The video opens with a back story on the song, "Remember". After believing that the track will never surface in high quality, Randy plans to end his life. After tying a rope around his neck, the high quality track begins to play out of the corner of his ear. Froggy is shown with the track playing on a laptop. Randy explodes with excitement. This is short lived as Froggy refuses to hand over the track. He claims that he is the only one who has the track and explains that the song is on a website with an IP address that changes every five seconds. Froggy takes off running; Randy follows. They eventually end up at a swamp with Froggy on the ledge; laptop in hand. Froggy throws the laptop into the water, drowning the song. Randy falls to his knees in heartbreak. After stumbling back inside, he trips and lands on a butcher knife. Froggy appears over his face. Suddenly, Randy awakes from what is believed to be a nightmare. He turns on his computer to find the high quality track on YouTube. The video cuts to black as Randy sits there speechless. This video is the oddball of the series, which puts it up for debate as to whether it really happened or not. It is believed that the events really occurred. Just before Randy died, Ember performed a spell to heal him. He awakes in his bed and assumes that it was all a dream. Facts: - This is the second episode in the EGS Saga. - This is the most viewed video in the EGS Saga. - The high quality soundtrack version of "Remember" was found shortly after 1am on the morning of April 06, 2014. Filming took place on April 07, 2014. - The singer of "Remember", Robbyn Kirmssé, published the high quality soundtrack version of the song on her website for her resumé. To this day, this has been the only known website that this song has been posted on (until it's discovery in April 2014). - For 9 1/2 years, a degraded mono mix of "Remember" was the only version available on the Internet. It is believed that the high quality soundtrack version was on Robbyn Kirmssé's website for 4 years (2010 - 2014). - Robbyn Kirmssé, saw the video on May 06, 2014. She helped shine light on the unanswered questions that have lingered about this track for the last decade. - YouTuber "SmileForTheGhost" is credited with discovering the track on Robbyn Kirmssé's website. For years, websites led the fan base to believe that Robin Kimissel was the song's singer. He tried playing around with the name and eventually was led to Robbyn Kirmssé. He commented a link to the track on "WorthlessToaster's", "Remember Music Video". "WorthlessToaster" (Randy's secret channel) was the first one to upload the high quality soundtrack version of the song on YouTube. With it being nearly a year after its original upload, this video currently has the most views out of any of the high quality soundtrack videos with 216,000+ views. - Randy unintentionally checked "WorthlessToaster" that morning to discover the song was found. - Finding this song aided in the making of the "PioneersProductions Anthology" and EGS Saga series. - This is the last true comedic sketch video on "PioneersProductions". - Rain was not intended to be in the video. Rain started to fall right on cue during filming. Digital rain was added in post-production to add to the atmosphere. - This is the most rushed sketch video in "PioneersProductions" history. - A film light is visible behind Randy just before he takes off running after Froggy. - Randy never takes the rope off for the entire video. "Extinction" After learning that the camera footage was uploaded online, Randy loses his job. The video was a viral sensation. Randy ignores Froggy as his mental state continues to worsen by the second. He finally releases all of his anger on Froggy. Claiming he didn't have anything to do with the video getting uploaded, Froggy tries reasoning with Randy. Randy realizes that the Whale must be the culprit and gets a sinister look in his eyes . Froggy tries to stop Randy but ends up getting slammed onto the kitchen table and duct taped to it. Randy slowly moves in on the Whale who is looking at Whale porn on a laptop. A Swiss army knife stabs the floor, missing his head by inches. Randy grabs the Whale and holds him down; army knife in the air. The Whale swears he had nothing to do with the video clip being uploaded but makes a mistake in saying that he helped Froggy with the deed. When Randy was beating up Froggy, the Whale took the SD card out of the camera; leading Randy to think the footage was erased. Randy unleashes his anger by stabbing the Whale numerous times. Froggy hears his screams of pain from the second floor. Randy makes one last cut across the Whale's backside and eye socket. His dying words are "fuck my blowhole." Randy exits the room covered in blood and stuffing. As if things weren't brutal enough, Randy returns for Froggy. He snatches him off of the table and shows him the murder scene, exclaiming, "this is what you caused!" He holds Froggy down and expresses in excruciating detail how he really feels about him. Froggy pleads for his life while trying to explain that there is something that Randy has to see. Randy doesn't buy it, knowing very well that Froggy always has tricks up his sleeve. Randy explains the heartbreak of having the "Remember" track snatched away from him and drowned in the swamp. Froggy's final question is "why are you doing this?!" Randy says under his breath, "because she told me to..." Ember McLain appears from behind the doorway as Randy begins stabbing Froggy. The final stab goes up through his head. Froggy falls and lands on top of the lifeless Whale. Froggy mutters, "Ember....Em...ber...Ember...." Now on his deathbed, Froggy's final words are, "There's a CD under your bed....Please forgive me....I love you..." Randy exits the scene with his hands covered in blood. Two days after the murders, Randy finds the disc under his bed. It's a DVD that both Froggy and the Whale recorded. They express their gratitude for all of Randy's help. Randy breaks down, feeling remorseful, lost, and alone. Ember appears and says to forget about them. Still an emotional wreck, Randy makes his way to his room; closing the door and ending the video with plenty of unanswered questions. A collage of clips are displayed, showing that Ember has been lurking around in Randy's life all of these years. Facts: - This is the third episode in the EGS Saga - Randy tears a tendon in his right pinky finger as he stabs Froggy. - This is the first video in "PioneersProductions" history to have an opening title sequence. "Comeback Song" is first heard in this video (with the exception of the "Anthology" series) - This is the first true appearance of Ember McLain. - Randy's rage and stress in this video was actually taken directly from his personal life. Little acting was involved which made the performance as authentic as possible. - This was the true departure from the comedic videos. - This is first video that Randy composed an original soundtrack album for. - Randy drank Busch Light during the brutal scenes with Froggy and the Whale. - There isn't anything visible on the laptop screen in the scene with the Whale looking at Whale porn. - The ending scene with the DVD was the last thing Randy filmed before Bruno's death. - The video was shot on three different days. - This is the first video in years where Randy was unable to yell from trashing his voice. The murder scene with Froggy took everything he had. - Randy's camera monitor was broken during the filming for this video. The murder scenes with Froggy and the Whale underwent multiple re-shoots to get the correct framing. The speech in Froggy's murder scene was risked and shot as it was without checking for framing errors. - The video, as all "PioneersProductions" videos are, was filmed in 24 fps. However, it was also exported from Final Cut Pro in 24 fps. This causes the opening title graphics to lag and shake as they zoom into the camera lens. All videos are always recorded in 24 fps and exported in 30 fps. - This was the first "PioneersProductions" video to have different iris settings on the camera. Shots were intentionally shot with darker iris settings. However, some shots turned out to be too dark and could only be improved to a certain extent in post-production. Shots are grainy at times but it also fits the dark atmosphere throughout the video. - The alternate "theme" of the EGS Saga ("Your Turn" in "Extinction"; "Title Screen" and "Extinction Reprise" in "Resurrection") was based on John Harrison's adaptation of "Camptown Races"; from "Creepshow's" ,"Something to Tide You Over." "Resurrection" The most action packed video in the series, "Resurrection" opens with deserted shots. Randy gives a voice over on how spirits roam free in Autumn. It is explained that Ember is one of the good spirits. Starting exactly where "Extinction" concluded (July 2014), Randy closes his bedroom door and makes his way to the closet. He finds the Frog and Whale are missing. Ember explains that she threw them in the trash, causing Randy to freak out. He goes on saying that he respects the dead enough to give them a proper burial. Ember tells him to get over it and move on with his life. Now in October, Randy continues to struggle with his remorse. A dimly lit car scene shines new light on why Randy carried out his vicious act. It is explained that he bears a curse that causes him to talk to imaginary objects. For the curse to be lifted he would have to murder all of the imaginary objects that he has encountered (Mr. Horse Head, Froggy, the Whale, etc). Randy feels that ending his own life would bring him true happiness. Later that night, Randy is awoken at 3am by a girl named, Jen. She calls him numerous times before speaking. Jen says that she wants to be friends. As the eerie conversation progresses, she claims to be in the house. She plays a game of hide and seek, with Randy being the seeker. He cautiously makes his way into the kitchen. His phone rings; static is on the other line. He checks his surveillance cameras and discovers Froggy was toying with him the entire time from his front porch. Froggy then appears behind Ember. Randy takes off running. After a wild goose chase through the house, Randy finds himself back at the scene of the crime; the murder scene. He locks himself in and hides in a corner of the room. Out of nowhere the Whale appears next to him. The chase continues as Randy makes his way to his car. With his keys missing, he is forced to head back inside. He heads down a dark hallway and is boxed in by Froggy and the Whale. Seemingly trapped, Ember saves the day by blasting the Whale out of the air with one of her spells. As Randy gets away, he is once again cornered. Froggy and the Whale fly towards him. Randy exclaims for Ember to blast them. Being he is in the line of fire, she isn't easily convinced. With Froggy and Whale inches from his face, Ember fires an orb of light at the them, with Randy caught in the middle of it. All three fall to the floor. Froggy and the Whale disappear as Randy regains consciousness, with a huge grin on his face. The evil spirits that overshadowed the two creatures have been extinguished. The two are shown lifeless on a table, five feet from where Ember is standing. Randy asks if there's a way to bring his friends back to life. The video ends with Ember explaining that to reinstate a curse, the one who was first murdered has to be resurrected (Mr. Horse Head). Randy loses consciousness and the video fades to black. Facts: - This is the fourth episode in the EGS Saga. - This is the fifth Halloween video in "PioneersProductions" history (The Burglar 8, The Worst Halloween Ever, Mr. Horse Head Lives, A Furby's Calling). - Every scene, with the exception of the opening shots and phone call scene, had to be shot two or more times. - The original chase sequence and ending was filmed during the day time due to filming limitations. Ten days later, on October 26, 2014, it was re-shot at night. October 26th is also the same date that Mr. Horse Head was cremated (October 26, 2011). Three shots from the daytime footage are shown during the chase sequence. The ending scene with Randy on the floor is also from the daytime footage ending. - There were three endings for this video. The original ending involved the blast killing Randy. He appears floating next to Ember during the final lines in the video. The second ending was filmed during the daytime (October 16, 2014). The third ending was the one seen in the video; a mixture of both the daytime and nighttime cuts. The daytime footage is seen when Randy awakes from the blast on the floor, through the end of the video. - The opening scene with Randy and Ember discussing the Frog and Whale being thrown in the trash had to be filmed twice, due to Randy's hair length appearing too short. - This is the first video in "PioneersProductions" history with an original soundtrack. Every track in the video was originally composed by Randy. - The "Phone Call" scene and soundtrack spooked Randy for days as he cut the scene. This track almost didn't get made. After struggling for days to write a score for the scene, Randy was minutes away from using a Royalty Free Music track. With a lot of luck, he ended up composing the eeriest track on the album. - The "Stalked" track (heard during the chase sequence) was inspired by John Carpenter's "Halloween/Halloween II", "The Shape Talks/The Shape Stalks Again" track. - Ember's whereabouts during the chase sequence remain unknown. - This was the most frustrating production in "PioneersProductions" history. - A Halloween version of "Comeback Song" is played during the opening title sequence. Strings and piano were overdubbed by Randy for a Halloween feel. Andrew Blank's vocals have flanger effects to sound more ghostly. - Randy was forced to get the video done before Halloween because of hand surgery (on Halloween). - There is a continuity error with the Whale when he first appears next to Randy. The spiritual glows are missing. - The video took 19 days to film. Filming took place on 12 of those 19 days. Filming concluded on October 26, 2014. - "Resurrection" is the only episode in the series to not have its title on the soundtrack album cover. - "Resurrection" holds the record for the most days filmed and for longest filming span (12 days filmed out of 19). - "Resurrection" is the longest video in the series and in "PioneersProductions" history; sitting at 18 mins 05 seconds long. The "PioneersProductions Anthology" is omitted from this list. - "Resurrection" holds the record for most film footage, with 383 clips. "A Furby's Calling" is the runner up, with 365 clips. - "Resurrection" holds the record for most visual effects in "PioneersProductions" history. - In the phone call scene, as Randy peers out the kitchen window an image was used to show the empty yard. Cameras can't record in darkness without additional lighting, so an image with the flash enabled was used instead. One of the trees is broken in half. On July 08, 2014, near tornadic winds passed through Randy's backyard. The gusts took out the halves of two trees in the side yard. "Absolution" "Absolution" is the final episode in the original "EGS Pentalogy" series saga. The video opens with Randy playing a tune on a synthesizer. His head slowly lowers with sadness as the opening title sequence starts. The following scene is filled with pan shots. Randy talks over the footage in detail about how mysterious death can be. He is informed by Ember that there isn't a way to bring Froggy and the Whale back to life. He lowers his head in devastation. The video flashes back to March 2013. Randy is shown constructing an Ember McLain "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" emblem on his Xbox 360. This scene shows us the last time Randy felt true happiness. A "Remember" instrumentation cover plays throughout the scene. The ensuing scene is one of the most reflective scenes in "PioneersProductions" history. Randy gives a monologue about his life and why he's been isolated and alone. Ember listens as Randy expresses his true feelings. She was the one who has lifted him from the depths of despair. He finally comes to terms with his mistakes and realizes he has to let Froggy and the Whale go. He stands up and puts Froggy and the Whale into a box; duct taping it shut. A "Let It Go" metal remix begins to play. Randy makes his way through the house, with each room triggering a memory from video's past. After a slow descent to the backyard woods, Randy pours gasoline on the box. He lights a match and hesitates for a brief moment, but gains the courage to ignite the fire. The box gets engulfed with flames. As he stares at the flames, "I'm never going back. The past is in the past," becomes audible; breaking its silence from the instrumentation mix. Randy slowly walks away from the fire and takes one last look at the ashes of his friends. He gives a nod and heads back inside. Ember tries to comfort him by saying she'll always be there for him. The tone takes a strange turn as Randy tells her that he's "ready." He puts a gun to his head and says, "everyone goes someday!" He pulls the trigger and falls to the floor. Blood gushes out of the side of his head as the video fades to black. A crane shot hovers over a large group of Ember McLain figures. The camera passes through them and ends on a shot of two green eyes, awaking in the darkness. The video ends with a montage of moments from 2010 - 2015, alongside the ending credits. Facts: - This is the fifth episode in the EGS Saga. - "Absolution" was intended to be the grand finale for both the series and "PioneersProductions". Later that month, Randy got the idea for Season 2. - Ember McLain's model was completely reconstructed from top to bottom. However, shots were carefully planned out as the model didn't have legs. - The original plot for "Absolution" involved Randy traveling to the underworld in search of Froggy and the Whale. The limits of technology stopped the scripting for the video, and it was cancelled after months of failed script writing. A title wasn't even written. During December 2014, "Absolution" was written. It took three different scripts to perfect; the third being the final version. - Randy had to put sticky notes around the camera lens until he memorized the monologue scene. The final cut of the scene was a combination of at least three different takes. - "Send Request" is shown for the first time during the opening title sequence. - For the first time, a synthesizer was used to record the soundtrack. - The soundtrack for "Absolution" was one of the more frustrating albums to compose. The album was mostly improvisation. After messing around with tunes while recording, overdubs were added later and mixed. Think of it as a template album. Ironically, the album is one of the best sounding of the three ("Extinction", "Resurrection", "Absolution"). Mallorie Suzanne considers the "Absolution Soundtrack" to be the best sounding of the three, feeling the music perfectly fits the scenes. - A lot of the earlier tracks in the video were shortened in post-production. This is mainly because of notes that didn't fit the scene. A few tracks have portions where a pitch bender bar was used. This is heard during the ending of the "Reflection" track. Being that most of the tracks were improvised and recorded on the spot, there were plenty of areas that didn't fit the scenes in the video. - The opening scene with Randy playing the synthesizer wasn't intended to be in the video. The tune was improvised on the spot. A lot of shots for "Absolution" weren't scripted. - The March 2013 flashback was originally going to be the opening scene. As Randy puts the pieces of the Ember emblem together, some shots were reversed in post-production to give the illusion of the pieces being connected. - The Ember McLain "Black Ops II" emblem was originally constructed in March 2013. It took over 17 hours to create, being Randy was using a standard definition television without a game capture device. It would later become the face of "PioneersProductions" on all social media. The emblem remained mostly unchanged until late May, when Randy purchased an Elgato Game Capture. Minor touches to the skin color were made, as well as slight repositioning of the hair and eyes. In October 2014, gradient shadows were added in Photoshop, along with outer and inner glows. A Christmas version was also displayed during November/December of 2013 and 2014, with a purple Santa hat on Ember's head. - The "Let It Go" sequence wasn't scripted. Everything was recorded in the moment. The scene never would've happened if a link to Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" wasn't posted during one of Randy's Live streams, in November 2014. Haley is credited with giving Randy the idea for a "Let It Go" sequence. - Frozen played a huge role in the writing for "Absolution". A lot of Elsa's character is displayed in Randy in the monologue scene. Elsa is also visible for a few frames as Randy exits his room, carrying the box with the Frog and Whale inside. - The letters "EGS" are barely visible on Randy's shirt collar in the video's thumbnail. For 3 months, the letters weren't visible on the soundtrack cover. - The box burning scene was one of the coldest days of 2014. Randy's fingers were numb at the end of the scene. Vapor can be seen coming out of his mouth as the match is lit. Snot is also frozen to his nose as he wipes it away, just before leaving the fire. - The "Reflection" track opens with a slight cover of Queen's, "Bohemian Rhapsody". - This is one of the very few videos in "PioneersProductions" history to have no humor. - Players in the "Black Ops II" scene include Makemebad35, David (SuperKaiju87), and Hobo Deadfish. This game footage is from October 04, 2013. David's laughter is actually taken from the round ending kill cam of that match. Randy was actually playing on the opposing team during this match but through the magic of editing, it was made out to be that all players could be heard simultaneously (or in a party). Randy was reacting to nothing on the screen during this scene. The game clip was chosen in post-production. The final frames of the game footage had to be slowed down because a menu screen appears, when in reality Randy isn't even pressing buttons on the controller. - Both the "Remember" instrumentation cover and "Let It Go" metal remix tracks had to be slowed down in post-production in order to keep pace with the actions in the video. - During filming, Randy removed the Frog and Whale from the box before duct taping the box shut. - "EGS" is visible on the top right corner of the box - The box that Randy burns the Frog and Whale in was originally used as a prop to hold empty beer bottles at his bed side. - Black spots flicker and disappear during the pan shot with the beer bottles during the opening scene. This wasn't fixed in editing because it would've ruined the color and shadow effects. "Abyss" "Abyss" is the final episode in the "Finale" series, and the final production under "PioneersProductions" before the change to "EGS Productions". Although technically part of the series, "Absolution" is the true finale to the series. "Abyss" is littered with mysterious imagery. The voice over drives the episode with cassette audio from "EGS Tapes"; giving an early glimpse of "Andrew Blaze". There is no indication of what time period the episode is set in. Facts: - "Abyss" is the fastest production under "PioneersProductions" in the last 5+ years; totaling only a mere 23 hours between shooting and the finished cut. - "Abyss" was an unplanned episode and in effect has added fuel to the what seemed "concluded" series. - Andrew goes 1 minute and 14 seconds without blinking as he is panned out of frame. - Andrew strokes the Frog and Whale in the exact spot where his life ends in "Absolution". - "Abyss" is the now the third episode in the series without an originally composed score ("Amnesia Rape", "The Search For Remember"). - "Abyss" was released only 4 days before the one year anniversary of "Absolution"; ending a year long drought of "Prologue Series" episodes. - Andrew is wearing the same attire that was worn in "Absolution". - "Abyss" is the first "PioneersProductions" video within a video, with the use of "EGS Tapes". - "Abyss" holds the record for latest recording session; ending at 3:32am on January 08, 2016. - "Abyss" stands alone compared to the previous episodes with its layered visual style. The direction of the episode was all decided on in post-production. - "Abyss" is the shortest episode in the "Finale Series"; totaling 4 minutes 02 seconds. - Only one shot is repeated throughout the episode. - "Abyss" is the only video in the series that was unscripted. "Welcome To The Squad" Summary: Andrew leads the trio into her old room where the two toys lay lifeless in her closet. Andrew casts a spell in an attempt to resurrect the two toys but seems to fail. Suddenly Froggy comes back to life and is scared beyond belief. Froggy ends up being recruited to the ghost squad and instantly falls to the floor. Having never stood on two legs before Froggy becomes a walking train wreck, also breaking a nail during the fall. Unfortunately for the Whale his soul remained stuck in another dimension. The four ghosts leave Earth with Andrew in tears and the Whale's lifeless corpse left in the closet. "Welcome to the Squad" was originally a double episode premier for the "EGS" series ("Welcome to the Squad" and "Curtain Call"). Animation started in late Spring 2015 and would last until October. The episode was a combination of live video with animation. It was originally intended to relate to the "PioneersProductions" EGS Prologue' series ('PioneersProductions Finale Series'), meaning it only pertained to "PioneersProductions" fans, whereas "Curtain Call" was meant for all audiences. "Welcome to the Squad" gives viewers a brief overview of the "EGS" in the opening sequence while Andrew Blaze narrates and appears frequently throughout. Andrew Blaze, Celesta Reynolds, and Allegro Grave travel back to Earth in an attempt to resurrect the lost souls of the two inanimate objects from the 'PioneersProductions Finale Series' finale, "Absolution" (Froggy and Whale). The episode was never fully animated for both halves. The animation style itself was drastically different, with characters having buggier eyes and sloppy outlines. It would be the second to last production under "PioneersProductions" before switching over to "EGS Productions". Scripts: (Some for episodes that were never made) "Celesta EGS Tapes" Sun 28 Feb 2016 09∶33∶04 Today was the worst fucking day of my life. I hate everything. Just…FUCK…EVERYTHING…..I’m so over Morrison High; everyone there’s a total joke. Today I overheard two girls talking about who they had crushes on. I’ve known ‘em my whole life; Ashley and Robin. Robin’s a total weirdo who won’t say anything unless she’s around her friends. Like, seriously? You’re such a fucking loser. One day she poured a tray of spaghetti down my shirt to impress her friends. Everyone within a thirty foot radius saw it. It was horrible. They all..just…laughed…and didn’t hold back….What a cunt bitch…I was seriously just minding my own business and sketching in my notebook, and BAM, bitch ruins my top for half the damn day. Ashley……GOOD…LORD…..The less I say about her, the better. I swear one of these days I’m gonna snap and slit her throat while she sleeps. She’s trying to steal Justin from me. Back the hell off you stupid slut! He’s MINE! You don’t look at HIM! You don’t touch HIM! You don’t even THINK about HIM! Ten bucks and my left tit says you seduce him for a week and kick him to the curb……(LONG PAUSE)……..I………HATE….High school…..Morrison High is filled with nothing but jocks and careless egotistical assholes. I’m going to burn that school to the ground; mark my words….Me and Justin are gonna vandalize the walls later this week. It’s gonna rule. I should totally, like, immortalize Ashley on that wall. I’ll layer that shit so many times that it’ll remain on that surface until 3025. When future Morrison students walk through those doors they will remember how big of a fucking whore Ashley was.  You’re  the reason why I shoot every day, you bitch! Do you know why I don’t have many friends? Because no one gives a shit about me. I tried being nice once; I fucking…hated it! And the worst part is, no one understands me! The teachers are always too busy looking at their useless books to even see how mentally and physically destroyed I am. They don’t even realize how much dope I shoot. I’m..DYING..RIGHT..IN..FRONT..OF..YOU! And you don’t  SEE THAT??!  Justin..is LITERALLY..the ONLY ONE who cares about me. I have dreams too you know! All you fags are doing is crushing them! Justin and my notebook are all I got! I don’t give a shit about anything anymore. I tried..I really tried. But the gloves are off. Ashley’s getting her shit immortalized in spray paint! END OF TAPE "Curtain Call" (Original Script) Mon 02 Mar 2015 21∶43∶32 "OPENING SCENE VO -  We’ve all been there….in that dark place inside our minds where we question everything to the slightest detail…where we question our faith in the afterlife…we all pass through this world trying to figure out our identities, what we like, what we don’t like, who we trust, who we despise. In the end, it’s meaningless. This isn’t a place full of sunshine and rainbows..this is the abyss of your inevitable mistakes. You’re sent here to do more than reflect..you’re sent here to pay the price for being spliced between both good and evil. Time is not of the essence. I’ve been here for nearly quarter of a century, yet it feels like hours. We don’t operate like you do. We feel no physical pain or starvation, but the mental pain of hopelessness. You’re given the answers to your ever so important questions, but it does little to comfort you. It’s a test. Every squad has a method of detox, well this is theirs. EGS breaks you until you’re fixed. It’s not a matter of by choice, but by fate. We’re all destined to be recruited on the other side. Some of us know well before our end. I’ve known since I was 18, a common age of understanding what’s been locked away in your mind since you were first created. They say god takes away young souls because of their purity..ohh no..nooo…(alsost under breath), that’s a squad recruiting their newest member. This is not a cult, this is your calling. It’s kind of like being split into different houses based on your traits. SEPTEMBER 2014 SEPTEMBER 2014 RADIO - “Never! Never! Don’t give up those dreams!” (song ends) You’re listening to 99.9 FM. I’m Kurt Stephens, thank you for joining me on this lovely Friday afternoon. That was “Never! Never!”, the first hit single by Send Request. Their newest single “Over and Out” has already made it’s way into the top 100 for this week. The little group from Nanticoke has really got their mojo workin’. For those who don’t remember, the band’s recent success is largely because of a series of paranormal events that took place during a show recording in March of 2014. The show went viral on YouTube and that catapulted the band to stardom. Although they agree that the show helped get them to where they are today, they also think it was because of their talented song writing. Ember - To think, you filmed them before they were famous. Randy - Yeah, I have no idea how a small town group like that could make it big. Ember - Yeah ya do. Randy - Wh-what, because of that? Nah..they’re great song writers. “I Quit”, “Comeback Song”, “Never Never”, with songs like that, how could you not get somewhere? Ember - Randy, it was an internet sensation. It was trending on Twitter for fucks sake. Randy - ..you never told me that. Ember - Uhh,  yeah , I did. Don’t you remember? Randy - No..I don’t….Andrew said they got there from iTune sales. Ember - Because of the fucking clip, hellooo?? \_/ (arms) Randy - There’s something you’re not telling me… Ember - What else is there to say? Don’t yo-..wait… :O *FLASHBACK TO RANDY TOSSING IN HIS SLEEP* Ember comes into frame and blows “dust” (particles) into Randy’s face. Ember - That should help you sleep…lord knows you need it more than ever. Ember - Holy shit…. Randy stares and puts hands up (like ?) Ember - I..kinda..uh, wiped a portion of your memory… (guilty look) Randy - You, WHAT??! Ember - Sorryy… Randy - I never knew you could do that. Ember - Yeah, neither did I. Randy - So what the hell happened? I haven’t seen the show since I helped film it. Ember - Well..let’s just say that I had a lending hand…. CUT TO Randy is putting on his jacket. Ember - Where are you going? Randy - I’m heading up the campus to film a band for their television station. Ember - A.. BAND? Randy - Yeah, they’re supposedly really good. Might even be the next big thing. Ember - I’m going with you. Randy - ..y-you’re kidding right? Ember - Aww come onnn! Music’s my specialty, remember? Heh..no pun intended. Randy - I can’t walk into a recording studio with a ghost floating next to me. Ember - You seem to be forgetting something. Randy - Yeah? What’s that? Ember - I can only be seen when I want to be seen. Randy - (pauses)….ughh..alright. But you can’t be seen, okay? I can’t afford to blow this. I only have a month until I graduate. Ember - (Randy turns and puts on jacket, camera zooms from him on right to Ember in the background left) Thank you, thank you! You won’t regret this! CAR SCENE Ember - I can’t thank you enough for letting me tag along. Randy - What was I gonna say, no? You would’ve flown anyway. Ember - I just wanted to make ya feel guilty. ;) Randy - Heh.. Ember - So tell me about these guys. Do you know anything about them? Randy - You know what I don’t. My brother mentioned them not too long ago but I’ve never heard any of their stuff. Apparently they’re pretty good. Ember - I’m interested in hearing this generation’s idea of “good” music. Randy - Honestly, it’s shit. Everything today is either shitty rap or heavily autotuned ass. Ember - Auto..tune? Randy - It’s a way of digitally altering your vocals to hit notes that you can’t hit with your voice…there’s only a few decent singers out there nowadays. Everyone’s a studio band anymore. Ember - Wow..that’s lame! >:( Randy - Yeah, a lot’s changed since the 80s. I mean, it’s not  ALL  like that. There are still some talented artists these days. Ember - Who’s this? Randy - Oh..that?..heh-heh (guilty)…don’t ask. (You’re So Out) (Audio - (black) Andrew! Shut up!) “MARCH 31, 2014” (“This song’s called ‘I Quit!’”) (Opening titles on bottom portion of screen) My Last Confession (shadow glides across the stage, Andrew points ‘did you see that?’) Comeback Song (Go Pro Falls) Ghostly fog on the floor? DURING MY LAST CONFESSION Randy - Alright, that does it. I’m gonna lock my camera down. Meet me backstage, NOW. *Optional* GREEN SCREEN SHOTS (BACKSTAGE HALL) Randy brings Ember into the stage hall Randy - What the hell are you doing?? Ember - Come on Randy, let me have a little fun! Randy - Your  fun  is ruining the recording! Ember - Oh please, it’s completely harmless. And the band seems to be enjoying it. Randy - When that fog crawled toward the stage, did you see the look on Derek’s face? I thought he was gonna shit himself! Ember - Randy, relax. I haven’t been on a stage in over 30 years. You could at least level with me here. ~_~ Randy - Whatever..just..tone it down, okay? I really like these guys and I don’t want their careers to be remembered for a ghost tampering with a good performance. Ember - Tampering? If anything I’m making it better! Andrew looked like a kid in a candy store. He’s a sweetie. Randy - Stay away from him… Ember - What’s so wrong with a little competition? Randy - Whaatt?..wait a minute.. YOU’RE  jealous! (points) Ember - *scoffs* Jealous? Of  them?  (hand sways) Randy - heh, yeah. I mean, it’s pretty obvious. You’re pissed that they have a shot at fame whereas you don’t. Ember - You know, if I wasn’t your ally, I’d throw you off a bridge. Randy - Hey, I’m just sayin’! No need to get your panties in a wad over a punk rock group that’s far from being famous. Ember - *ugh* It’s not the fame. Music is a powerful thing, Randy. So powerful, it hurts. I was destined to be a rock star, and I won’t let these punks stand in my way! (exits) Randy - …….man…..fuck….. Randy returns to the camera. GREEN SCREEN SHOTS (STAGE) - *Shot smiling at the band (while manning camera)* - *Fog shot of looking down* - Shot of just looking around (preparing for something to happen from Ember) - My Last Confession - Shot leaving the camera to meet Ember in the backstage hall. Comeback Song (Take 01) Andrew - “This one’s called Comeback Song.” (use from soundtrack) - *Wide-eyed look* “She turned the fucking volume down…” (Comeback Song Take 01) Ember - His guitar too, not just the vocals. (anger glares at Ember)… During the song - Randy glares to the left (Ember in the background) “You’re so dead…” Ember - ha, good one >:) Randy - Fix it! Now! (thoughts) Ember - And ruin a good recording? He probably won’t even notice. Andrew - I just realized my volume was off for like half that song. Derek - We’ll probably have to do that again. Randy glares at Ember AFTER THE RECORDING Froggy - Randy? Who are you talking to? Randy - I..uh..I’m just talking to myself. Froggy - Well that’s kinda  odd  to talk to yourself in that kind of way. Randy - Come on..listen to who you’re questioning here…I’m as weird as they come. Froggy - O-okay thenn….well, I’ll be on Netflix…I just hope you have some marbles left in that noggin of yours… FROGGY EXITS Ember - Soo, when are you gonna carry out the deed? Randy - When the time is right…I’m not there…not quite yet… Ember - You know, the longer you put this off the more painful it’s gonna be. Randy - That’s easy for you to say. You never had to kill anything before. Ember - All I’m saying is this is like a band-aid stuck to your skin. The longer you wait to take it off, the more painful it’s gonna be. But remove it fast, sure it’ll sting for a while, but it’s over and done with. It’s up to you.

Camera pans beneath the Earth to see Matilda’s corpse with her arms locked upright and jaw open.

There’s no way…I’m not ready! There’s so many things that I wanted to do! Like I said, time seemed to pass like minutes, and then I was….I was…I……I was in a coffin…six feet underground (<— under her breath)….I saw my corpse….and…..I…. (sobbing) Oh mom it was horrible!!! Aghhhh!!!! Get me out of here! FUUUCKK!!! What do you want from me?!!! I can’t be! I can’t be DEAD!

Mackenzie - Thanks for coming with me this time, Andrew. It’s always depressing coming back here alone. Andrew - Anything for you, Mackenzie. Is this like a yearly thing or what?

Mackenzie’s grave is dug up and lazily covered over. Andrew - Grave robbers??! (overhead shot) Mackenzie - Who…would do such a thing…?

I have a loving, caring family…a beautiful, loyal little puppy dog…I have a nice stable roof over my head…I have a car…Outstanding supportive friends…But why do I feel so abandoned….? How could this happen to me…? How can someone like me take a fall into the deep agonizing abyss of complete utter despair…..? I’ve never hated myself in my life….I’ve never hated anyone….I’ve hardly ever given anyone an attitude….I’ve always done my best to put on a smile and to be the best person I could be….I just…I don’t…I don’t understand how something so perfect can just blemish into something so chaotic…. I considered you all my friends….and what am I to you?….a plastic paper cup that you plucked from the dispenser of fantasies to quench your uncontrollable desire for pleasure?

With each slow and agonizing cut I can hear the voices of my friends and family seeping through the lacerations, crying over me…disciplining me…I feel as if I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, shredding my vocal chords to ribbons, and no one within a million miles can hear me…..It’s as if I’m floating in an endless endeavor through the stars…not seeing a soul…not hearing a sound…just the constant rhythm of my breathing..my heart rate exceeding Mach 5…I don’t want to live in a world where I’m rejected for who I am…let alone used and abused like an old worn out dish rag…..I want to be loved….Is that really too much for a girl to ask for..?
