Yet another pit of lava has opened up. What's with them these days? But as
Brassica goes to investigate, he ends up with a very large problem on his
hands...

The criteria this time was a 24 minute limit to story creation. Since it
can take that long just to get a scene to work, I placed the limit of 24
minutes on script writing. And that's what got converted, with no extra
word tweaks or extra body language that wasn't already in there, nothing
else. Shows what does get added...

Snort. I found several funny moments in this film. Particularly
including the arguing over the introduction, and the sneaky villain.

Turns out I'm an anally-fixated oedipal paranoid with
south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions... But never mind, I've
found me the ideal job. I'm going to run for President!

Jeez, narrator, what's wrong with in medias res? >:/

Intereresting. The one thing I've had added - him, even though that's
grammatically correct, it parses weird. The one thing I would have added
was some sort of twist on how things were resolved, having it *not* follow
the pattern they predicted at the beginning.

She doesn't get her opening scene if they jump right into it.

That's an excellent idea, and wish it had occured to me.
