Story Club story

I did some writing for the game “Story Club” , specifically “Prank your Ex”.

Below is an excerpt from my original script.  This is the story of a girl who finds herself face to face with a cute, but decidedly nude boy. One thing leads to another and they.. y’know… play terrible pranks on her ex-boyfriend. Like ya do.  Oh and they probably smooch too…

• PC: “All right, I’ve still go time. No car today, but if I cut through Mrs. Sampson’s yard I can probably get to the store on time.”
• You cross the street and pop the latch on Mrs. Sampson’s back gate.

[Exterior, backyard of house with pool]

• PC: “She’s probably home, I can’t afford to get caught up in one of her rambly stories. I’ll just have to sneak.”
• Riley: Oh thank god someone showed up!
• PC: GAAAH!
• PC: Who the hell are you? Get out of Mrs. Sampson’s pool!
• Riley: Wait, wait! Quiet! I promise I’m not someone suspicious! My name is Riley, okay?
• Riley: As for getting out, um, that might be a bit of a problem right now….
• PC: What? How is it a problem, just get out and leave! I don’t have time for this!
• Riley: Sure I’d be happy to leave, just… could you grab that bundle of clothes hanging off of that tree branch?
• PC: What bundle of… oh my god are you…
• Riley: Some days you’re the pranker, other days… 
• Riley: I just need a bit of help before this lady comes back out, please?
• PC: “Why’d I have to look to verify?! I didn’t need to see that!”
• PC: “…though I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t nice to see…”
• PC: Wait, are you skinny dipping in somebody’s pool?
• PC: Are you some perv who gets off on showing his junk to old ladies?  I’m calling the cops!
• Riley: Hang on, hang on! It’s not like I meant for this to be an issue! It’s just a dare!
• Choice:
  • Oh yes, I can see it’s quite daring!
    • Riley: Not…  That’s not what I mean… you’re doing this on purpose aren’t you.
    • PC: What, I don’t get to have any fun?
  • Who takes a dare like that in broad daylight?
    • Riley: The kind of guy who’s desperate for content?
    • PC: Wait… content? What do you. I guess it doesn’t matter for now.
  • So you’re just an idiot?
    • Riley: I never claimed I wasn’t.  Doesn’t mean I’m a bad guy, does it?
    • PC: I… I guess I have to appreciate your honesty.
• Riley: Look, you can check out my Mootube channel, you’ll see I don’t mean anything by this.
• Riley: I mean, I’m pissed but this is gonna be great content. Check it out- Rileygoofs.
• Riley: Don’t worry, you’re not a part of any hidden camera bullshit.
• PC: I better not be! I do not give my permission to use my likeness.
• Riley: Speaking of my likeness, if you’re done burning it into your eyeballs, I actually don’t enjoy being naked this much.
• PC: “Crap… I didn’t even realize I’d been staring. [He] is pretty cute though.”
• PC: Why don’t you just get out on your own?
• Riley: Look, right now it’s just a bit of light trespassing. If someone sees me naked though, I could get pegged with a sex crime!
• PC: I don’t think it works that way…
• Choice: 
  • Give his clothes back +Riley
    • PC: All right, all right. I’m not cruel. I hope this was all worth it.
    • PC: How did you end up separated so badly anyway? 
    • PC: I guess I shouldn’t expect a good plan from someone who does this kind of thing…
    • Riley: Hey now, I planned this out perfectly. It was the betrayal I didn’t account for.
    • At the mention of betrayal your heart clutches for a moment.
    • PC: Yeah…l know how that goes.
    • You grab the clothes from the tree and toss them down to the edge of the pool.  
  • Ask for a reward.
    • You walk over to the clothes and pick them up. They’re nothing to write home about.
    • PC: You know, normally when you return a lost item you get a finder’s fee.
    • PC: So how about it? What’s in it for me?
    • Riley: Are you extorting a naked guy?
    • PC: Extort is such an ugly word! Such an ugly, accurate word.
    • PC: But maybe a free meal would help me forget this grievous insult.
    • Riley: Fine, fine, I owe you! Just give me my pants at least
    • You toss his clothes down on the ground near the pool’s edge.
  • Just leave -Riley
    • PC: Sorry Riley, but I really don’t have time to deal with this right now.
    • PC: And the last thing I want to do is get caught in this stupid situation.
    • Riley: I’m just gonna get out and make a dash for it. I take no responsibility for what you see, useless lady.
    • PC: “Ouch… what’s that supposed to mean.”
• Sampson: No Mr. Tumnus, you stay inside. Mommy’s just going to go check the backyard for your ball, okay?
• PC: “FUUUUUCK!”
• Riley: fuuuuuuuuuuuck!
• You look for the source of the voice and catch sight of Mrs. Samspon behind the door to her backyard, no doubt talking to her dog.
