Scene 6 opens
Jerald H/KJ: *paces around his room* Why do I keep doing this?! *walks up to mirror on the wall and stares at himself* God, I’m screwing up again and I really need your help. *takes mask and wig off then throws them aside* Satan, stay away from me! *punches mirror, shattering it* Stay away from me!
Eli/Conductor: *runs into Jerald H’s room* Dude, what on Earth is going on?!
Jerald H/KJ: I really don’t wanna talk about it right now.
Eli/Conductor: Don’t do that to me, man. You can talk to me.
Jerald H/KJ: I just can’t right now, Eli!
Eli/Conductor: Fine. By the way, the rest of us found where Death Chord’s been hiding out.
Jerald H/KJ: Where?
Eli/Conductor: Follow me.
Both: *run out of Jerald H’s room and into the green room*
Craig: What took so long?
Eli/Conductor: Ask him.
Jerald H/KJ: How’d you guys know that this is Death Chord’s hideout?
Charlotte: The ceiling.
Jerald H/KJ: *looks up to see ‘Death Chord’ written all over on the ceiling* Oh, that explains it.
April: *quietly* What are you guys doing back here?
All: *exclaim and face April*
Eli/Conductor: Who the heck are you and what are you doing here?
April: *stammers* I’m, I’m April Lucado.
Jerald H/KJ: She’s the shy girl I was talking about.
April: I found that writing on the ceiling in here a few days ago, but I never said anything because I didn’t think anyone would believe me if I did.
Jerald P: How do we know we can trust you?
Craig: What if you’re Death Chord and just playing along with what we say?
Jerald H/KJ: Chill out, you two.
April: I wouldn’t write my name all over the ceiling of the green room if I was Death Chord.
Jerald H/KJ: Do you suspect that anyone here at the camp could be Death Chord?
April: I’m thinking either Donatello or Emilia.
Jerald H/KJ: The drummer or the goth girl? Why them?
April: Donatello hasn’t talked about Stage Fright or Death Chord or any of this since it started. He’s just been zoning out on drumming.
Eli/Conductor: What about Emilia?
April: It seems to fit her style and personality.
Jerald H/KJ: *sighs* Well, we can talk to them in the morning. You guys can head back.
All: *leave the room*
Jerald H/KJ: Hey, Eli.
Eli/Conductor: *turns around and walks back into room* Yeah?
Jerald H/KJ: Why didn’t Mary show up?
Eli/Conductor: She said she was too busy.
Jerald H/KJ: Too busy? This late at night?!
Eli/Conductor: Yeah, it was just some stupid excuse though. Probably to go see Oliver.
Jerald H/KJ: I’m sure she’s ‘just seeing’ him.
Eli/Conductor: If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly is going on between you two?
Jerald H/KJ: To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on between us. She’s just been acting super weird ever since Halloween last year.
Eli/Conductor: What happened?
Jerald H/KJ: My friends, John White, Marcus Bett, Mary and I went to a restaurant called ‘Jolly’s.’ One of the employees went rogue and dressed up at the mascot, Jolly the clown, and he attacked us. Locked us inside the place until we could stop him.
Eli/Conductor: What did he do to you guys?
Jerald H/KJ: John got his leg broken and Marcus got his hands smashed.
Eli/Conductor: That’s insane.
Jerald H/KJ: Thankfully, nothing happened to Mary.
Eli/Conductor: What about you?
Jerald H/KJ: I have a scar on my back. He got me pretty good with a serrated kitchen knife.
Eli/Conductor: Did you beat him?
Jerald H/KJ: I got him arrested and fired, but ever since that night, John and Marcus haven’t really even spoken a word to me.
Eli/Conductor: It wasn’t your fault though.
Jerald H/KJ: I really feel like it was.
Eli/Conductor: They can’t blame you for something someone else did.
Jerald H/KJ: Try telling them that. I’m gonna go to bed. I’ll see you in the morning. *walks away*
Donatello: *practices drum rolling on a snare*
Leonard: Hey, Donatello!
Donatello: Yeah?
Leonard: Have you seen where Jerald Harriet and Eli Hall went?
Donatello: Nope.
Leonard: Can you help me look for them?
Donatello: Sure, but where do you think they could be?
Jerald H/KJ: Right here. *walks up to Donatello and Leonard with Eli*
Leonard: Thank goodness. You guys almost gave me a heart attack.
Eli/Conductor: Sorry.
Leonard: Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to find Mr. Myers. *walks away*
Donatello: What do you two want?
Jerald H/KJ: I wanna ask you, where were you when Felicity was missing?
Donatello: I was helping look for her.
Eli/Conductor: How about the night when Oliver got his butt kicked?
Donatello: I was out looking for one of my drums, but I didn’t do anything to him.
Jerald H/KJ: You didn’t do anything to him? So you’re implying that you ran into him?
Donatello: Well, I did, but…
Eli/Conductor: But what?
Donatello: He was talking about how he’s the luckiest dude here to have met Mary.
Jerald H/KJ: He’s still trying to steal my girlfriend, huh?
Donatello: She’s your girlfriend?
Jerald H/KJ: Uh, yeah, she is!
Donatello: It’s not like that from her perspective.
Jerald H/KJ: *grunts* Well, I’m just gonna have to exchange some words with Oliver if he wants to play that game.
Leonard: *walks into Mr. Myers’s office* Mr. Myers, have you heard anything back from Edward?
Mr. Myers: Yes, actually. He apologized for not being present today because he made an appointment to meet his therapist. He said that he should be able to come by tomorrow though.
Leonard: Oh, that’s a relief!
Mr. Myers: I’m hoping he doesn’t make a scene like he did before.
Leonard: I’m sure he won’t.
Donatello: *grabs his snare drum and adjusts the snares* That should do the trick.
Stage Fright: *runs past Donatello*
Donatello: *looks behind himself* Hello? Anyone there? *stands up* Hello?
(Blackout starts playing)
Stage Fright: *walks up behind Donatello and throws the snare drum aside*
Donatello: *turns around* You must be this Stage Fright dude everyone’s talking about, or are you ‘Death Chord?’
Stage Fright: *grabs Donatello* I’ll show you soon enough! *drags Donatello a short distance and throws him against a wall*
Donatello: *groans in pain and slowly gets up*
Stage Fright: You’d better stay down, boy!
Donatello: *runs over to a nearby chair* Have a seat! *grabs the chair and hurls it at Stage Fright*
Stage Fright: *stumbles and falls onto his back from the chair’s impact*
Donatello: Maybe you’d better stay down.
Stage Fright: *gets up and grabs a baton*
Donatello: Nope! *turns around and starts running*
Stage Fright: *throws the baton at Donatello’s legs*
Donatello: *trips over the baton and face-plants into the ground*
Stage Fright: *walks over to Donatello*
Donatello: *tries to crawl away*
Stage Fright: *grabs Donatello* You’re coming with me! *drags Donatello away*
(Blackout stops playing)
April: Jerald, Eli, no one has seen Donatello anywhere since last night!
Jerald H/KJ: Well, I guess we can cross him off the list of suspects.
Edward: *runs through entrance doors* Everyone, where is Mr. Myers?!
Leonard: He’s in his office, sir.
Edward: *runs to Mr. Myers’s office*
Mr. Myers: Oh, my word, Edward! You scared the life out of me!
Edward: My apologies. But I’m feeling dandy today! I feel like my medications are actually working for once!
Mr. Myers: I’m glad to hear your news. But we have a little problem in our hands right now.
Edward: What?
Mr. Myers: Another one of my students has gone missing.
Edward: May I ask whom?
Mr. Myers: Donatello Sander.
Edward: That drummer?
Mr. Myers: Yes.
Dylan: *walks up to Jerald H and Eli* Hey, guys! Whatcha been up to?
Eli/Conductor: We’ve been looking for clues to see who's behind all of these weird things happening.
Dylan: Sounds intriguing! Can I help you guys?
Jerald H/KJ: I don’t mean to sound rude, but why do you all of a sudden wanna help us?
Dylan: I would’ve asked earlier, but you guys seemed to have your hands full.
Jerald H/KJ: Well you’re more than welcome to join us.
Dylan: *cheers and hugs Jerald H*1004Please respect copyright.PENANAahQmoUx6CT
Leonard: *walks out of Mr. Myers’s office and over to Jerald H, Eli, Dylan, and April* I feel like I expected this job to be very different than what it is.1004Please respect copyright.PENANA0eMYt757qd
Eli/Conductor: How so?1004Please respect copyright.PENANAQaEyvYw8d1
Leonard: With students disappearing and getting beaten up by some masked crazies!1004Please respect copyright.PENANAWZCRxYV9st
Jerald H/KJ: Don’t worry, sir. Eli and I have come up with a plan, but we need a lot of help.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAwZZ0UcGb4p
Leonard: What kind of help?1004Please respect copyright.PENANAkEWzwmTe7X
Jerald H/KJ: We know that there are two masked people who go by the names ‘Stage Fright’ and ‘Death Chord.’1004Please respect copyright.PENANAifLh7yscEd
Leonard: I have a pretty good guess on who one of them might be.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAo56qSPYB57
Eli/Conductor: Who?1004Please respect copyright.PENANAVtL6EjKPEx
Leonard: Edward Penlora.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAEBrHLgOJsf
Dylan: Really?1004Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mvev63YEX
Leonard: Think about it. His theater career went very far downhill after receiving bad criticism and he also got divorced, with his wife getting full custody of his son. To get his revenge, he’s dressing up and trying to sabotage our theater and our show so that he can have a better chance at rising to fame again.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAix21BWCkKR
Eli/Conductor: Wow. That’s a very good observation.1004Please respect copyright.PENANA4P2JrDuw7B
Jerald H/KJ: But if Edward really is one of them, who would the other be?1004Please respect copyright.PENANA5UC2cLw7J9
April: We have one more person who could be the other person behind a mask.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAyCoAA4KAxR
Leonard: Who might that be?1004Please respect copyright.PENANAITeaYGpeGZ
April: Emilia Vyk.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAmQQpWbQ2hL
