hmm ican try to do Act II, Scene 4 . did we discuss any plans for that scene other then beakers breaking?

Oh hell, there was a huge discussion about it...somewhere back there. Maybe up-thread, or maybe in another thread. It's out there.

What is necessary is that the scene sets up the parent-teacher conference in scene 5 and also Lancer's mention of the beaker incident in Mystery Meat. The accident would have to be caused by one or more intangibility moments, though there could be other contributing factors (Dash being a bully, Paulina being a flirt, Tucker or Sam trying too hard to help cover up Danny's problem, etc.)

Good luck!

Blue told me that I'd be welcome to join in if I wanted to, so, here I am. ^^ I'll take pretty much any part you guys think it would be alright for me to take.

Thanks for letting me take part. =) Always wanted to do something like this - I never thought I'd ever get the chance to do it.

Same here, I'll try to do my best.

Moonlight & Nefarious, I'd like to give you two scenes to choose from. One of them is the only scene left in Act I, which is Scene 4: "Scene 4 Downstairs in the kitchen, Maddie and Jack fend off angry neighbors who learned about the Portal from the morning news. In addition to the damaged garden, we learn about several other minor ghost problems."

This scene appears immediately after the scene in which Danny has a panic attack when he can't see himself in the bathroom mirror. You'd have to refer back to Act I Scene 3 for both that and the lady whose garden got dug up by the ghost. Although it's not included in the short description of the scene, I think it could be useful to incorporate some sort of very brief visit from Danny on the back end of his panic attack, but to have Jack and Maddie brush him off with some sort of "Not right now, honey, we're busy" response.

That said, it's important to accept that this scene is part of the "B" plot. It's about how distracted Danny's parents are by the chaos surrounding the new portal. By "fend off" I don't exactly mean a physical assault on the house, but there should be several unique characters in the scene and lots of fast dialogue.

The other scene is Act II, Scene 5, which is a little more complicated. "Parent-teacher conference (Jack and Maddie with science teacher). Danny watches the cuts on his hands heal before his eyes. Jazz eavesdrops in the hallway, perhaps on her way out of the library with psych books." This scene comes immediately after the scene in which Danny's new powers cause a chain-reaction disaster in the science lab. You shouldn't try to rehash the action in that scene, which is being written by somebody else, but you should establish the fact that Jack & Maddie are having to take time away from their incredibly hectic day for this conference, that Danny is still stressed out, upset, and horrified/fascinated at the way his body heals itself.

You guys up to it?

I think I should be able to handle the first one, but if Nefarious wants the first scene, I'll try my hand at the second one, even if it's going to be a bit harder.

Nefarious · **Posted:** Tue Aug 19, 2008 5:03 pm

I'll take the second one, it's fine. Just tell me if something should be changed or I have the wrong idea.

Okay you two, just start up a new topic in this subforum when you're ready to post your draft. If you need a beta I'm willing to serve.

I look forward to seeing your efforts!

Which Act number is my part again?

Nefarious · **Posted:** Mon Aug 25, 2008 2:24 am

Okay, I have a few suggestions.

To me, the Dash scene seems a little odd. If Danny hadn't flown before, I don't think he'd accidently take off from the ground. What if the chase ended up someplace high, and Danny fell off? His fear could spark a transformation, and then start him flying, maybe something like in Superman Returns. Of course, it would have to end in a place Dash couldn't get to, maybe phasing through a locked door. And the Ghost Weasal could knock him off and then he'd fly. Just a thought.
