Chief Script Writer Anna Kreider managed a large team of over 7 volunteer writers. I was one of the writers in the room brainstorming and assisting with the rough drafts that got turned into scenes such as:
Vignette 3 Characters: Chun Li .............................................A bored hero (Street Fighter) Ico ........................................................... Another bored hero (Ico) Tommy Vercetti................................. Another bored hero (GTA 3) Aeris..................................Another bored hero (Final Fantasy VII) <Lights up on the left wing. Three heroes are on a couch. In front of the couch is a tv with some sort of console. Chun Li is reading doing a crossword, Tommy is still reading Playboy, and Ico is fiddling with a chain.> 1 - Chun Li: I’ll get it. <Chun Li gets up, leaves. Comes back in with Aeris> 2 - Aeris: Hey, guys. I would have called, but I just ran into Mega Man and he ate my phone. 3 - Ico: <without looking up from what he’s doing> Huh. That’s weird. 4 - Aeris: <to Chun Li> What’s he doing, anyway? 5 - Chun Li: You don’t want to know. 6 - Aeris: Oh. Okay. <pause> You guys know there’s a zombie uprising going on outside, right? 7 - Tommy: <still looking at his Playboy> Yeah, okay. 8 - Chun Li: Zombie uprising? No way.
9 - Aeris: If you don’t believe me take a look out the window. <Chun Li walks to the front of the wing, peers out at the audience like she’s looking through a window.> 10 - Chun Li: Uh, oh. Guys, I think you’d better have a look at this. <Tommy and Ico get up and stand next to her and look out at the audience. Ico is suddenly holding a chainsaw as he stands next to Tommy. The chain is nowhere to be seen.> 11 - Tommy: Yup. Those are definitely zombies all right. <points at a random audience member> I mean, look at that guy – the vacant stare, the drool, the endless hunger for brains…
12 - Ico: <points at a different audience member> What about that guy? Is that - ? 13 - Chun Li: Zombie Jesus? 14 - Aeris: I guess he died for our sins and now he’s come back for our brains. 15 - Chun Li: Oh look! <points at a third audience member> Isn’t that that famous zombie hunter, Jill Valentine? <All four heroes cringe suddenly> 16 - Ico: Well, it sure looks like it used to be Jill Valentine… 17 - Chun Li: So… now what? <Lights down.
