Jack Walters   Did the Christian folk of Innsmouth not object to such blasphemy?

Zadok Allen with drunken slur

Not so mech escaped, as set free. Fer weeks nothin', then thet arful nite of 'forty-six'. Them's from outside reckon on it bein' a riot. But, I seed them… Swarms of 'em.

Jack Walters   The fishfrogs attacked Innsmouth? Because the sacrifices stopped?

Zadok Allen   Aye. My pa, he clumb aout the kitchen winder with his musket. Never heerd o' my pa no more.

Zadok Allen with drunken slur

'twas a massacre… the gaol thrown up… Maounds o' the dead an' the dyin'. Shootin', screamin' n' shoutin' all cross Taown Squar'.

Rebecca Lawrence Rebecca is in her late 30’s and like her ancestors before her she is a long standing opponent of the Marshes. The only reason she is still alive is through a combination of luck and extreme caution when talking to outsiders. The hard life she has been forced to endure in Innsmouth comes across in her voice, although a strong woman she has become weary over time. Actors: Naomi Watts, Linda Hamilton, Cate Blanchett

Jack Walters   He told me to protect whatever's in the safe… to get it out of town.

Rebecca Lawrence   Jack… you're in perilous danger, you've got to get out of town. The Order is onto you… it's not safe for you in Innsmouth anymore.

Jack Walters   I'm leaving on the next bus out of this nightmare. Tonight.

Jack Walters   And you can rest assured doll… I'll be enlightening the relevant authorities with all I've seen in this crazy shit hole.

Rebecca Lawrence   That's if they even let you leave. You've seen too much Jack… the Order won't allow you to go easily.

Jack Walters   The bus is not going till morning. Seems there's a problem with the engine.

Rebecca Lawrence   That's not good Jack.

Jack Walters   There must be another way out of this crazy shit hole?

Rebecca Lawrence   No friendly folk in Innsmouth have transport.

Rebecca Lawrence   You could walk it… Though the marshlands that bound this port are a full night's journey, and more perilous than the streets and alleys of the town.

Jack Walters   Oh swell.

Rebecca Lawrence   You've got to get out of Innsmouth Jack.

Jack Walters   Any ideas?

Rebecca Lawrence   The Gilman Hotel is your only option. But bolt your doors Jack, for not all outsiders that take board at the Gilman see through the night.

JACK CLAW

Character Description

NAME: Jack

4

Age: 23 Sex: Male

Personality: Jack is a loner Passive aggressive If he wants to do something, he does it with attitude. He is musically gifted (plays the guitar and sings). Confident, doesn't hesitate much.

Voice: Doesn't sound whiny, has a mature voice for his age. His accent is a low key British “working class accent”. He speaks almost lyrically with a sense rhythm, because all his life he has composed rock songs. This is a film noir style voice over. He feels betrayed, and run down. Yet, he will not give up. He talks in a low monotone voice and with a slow tempo. He sounds a bit hoarse.

Sample Dialogue:

Description of the scene:Jack lives in a tightly controlled city (think North Korea), where most of the citizens are

“sleep walking” through life. Jack's family member was arrested and now he must get him out. After a few bad choices Jack finds himself surrounded by the law. Desperate times require desperate measures.

This is a film noir style voice over. He feels betrayed, and run down. Yet, he will not give up. He talks in a low monotone voice and with a slow tempo. He sounds a bit hoarse.

5

JACK (part 1, Jack's inner voice)The flames struggle, trying to spread through the back alleys of the city. The only choice I have, after I found the knife buried in my back, is to feed them.

The cops are moving in to stop me. They have me surrounded. (pause) I need some help and the only people who can, might be worse than the disease. The anarchists live in the Old Town, in their little gated corner.

They are perfect fuel for my fire. [Record the last sentence twice, different ways](quietly) They are napalm...

(arrogantly) They are napalm...

Description of the scene:Jack has entered the Old Town, barely escaping from the cops.

JACK (part 2, Jack's inner voice)

The smell of unwashed violence grows as I walk deeper into the Old Town. The cops won't follow me here, they have no say behind this wall. This slum is run by mad crooks and thugs - the gatekeepers of nasty.

Voice reference: Bruce Willis' "Hardigan" character from Sin City.Christian Bale's character from The Prestige.Brandon Lee's character from The Crow.

This is a simple challenge that will be part of the ‘tutorial’ in the final game. You approach a “Runt” called Johnny and he asks you to show him how to do a specific trick. By doing it, you teach him and he succeeds in the trick and goes off to tell his friends.

Runt sting: waving and calling to player when he gets into range.

Johnny is practising while the player is outside of 'press square' range:Johnny (frustrated): C’mon, c’mon, c’mon…How hard can it be?

Damn! I seen Calisto do it… man!

As player approaches:Johnny: Hey! Hey! ‘Sup!

Johnny briefing part 1 - once the player has pressed square to accept:Johnny: Check out this kickflip. Check it out.Johnny tries trick and fails

Johnny briefing part 2, after he fails to do the trick himself:Johnny (disappointed): Aw man! I suck… Can ya show me?

If the player starts to move out of rangeJohnny (worried): Hey! Where you off?

If the player moves out of range completely then:Johnny (disappointed): Aw well. I'll just have to keep practising. Later!

If the player falls during attempt:Johnny (laughing): Lame, dude!

If the player succeeds then:Johnny (amazed): Tight! Check it out! How’ja do that?

Then Johnny performs trickJohnny: Awesome! I’m takin’ this move back to my homies.

Jackass/Hessian Challenge (Jess Margera, Jack Black)Jackass/Hessian Challenge (Jess Margera, Jack Black)

Jack Black Jackass character in game

The Hessian challenge is more complex. The guy calls you over and tells you to climb up a building using a ladder and then jump off that building - down 30 feet into a dumpster full of rubbish. The player must get off the board, climb the ladder, move a ramp to the edge of the building, jump on his board and hit the ramp. While in the air, he has to pull a Jackass Stunt and then aim to safely hit the dumpster:

(He's only interested in luring in another sucker.)

Hessian sting, waving to player when he gets into rangeHessian: Pardon me! Excuse me! Uh, Sir? A word?

***Hessian briefing***Hessian: Hi! How are you today? (no beat) Great! Question - Would you

consider – hypothetically – um… climbing up to the top of the ladder there and using the ramp to Cannonball into this dumpster? This one here. I swear it ain’t gonna hurt if you miss. I swear ta’ God! I do it all the time.

***Hessian fail 1*** (if the player lands in dumpster but does not perform jackass trick)Hessian: What was that? I don’t get it. You just fell. What’s the point of just

falling into garbage? You wanna try somethin’ this time… Like a CANNONBALL?

10

Hessian fail 2 (if player lands outside of dumpster and survives, ie. does not get sent to hospital immediately)

Hessian: (feeling the pain, but not really caring about the player's safety):

Ooh! You hear the sound your head made? Damn!

(sarcasm)

But that was a real good try. I mean it. Go on - give it another shot. Be a man.

Hessian Win (player lands in dumpster)Hessian: (stunned, quietly):

Whoa dude… that was epic.
