A Collaborative Future Shock. For a laugh.

[Wood]

Most of the stuff on this board seems to be us bickering about what thrills we like or don't like. So. I had an idea.

How about we do a collaborative future shock on the BB? It'll be six pages long, and each page will have six frames.

What we do is, each person posts the script for *one frame at a time*. If a frame is REALLY poor, or like, pulls in a Deus ex Machina (obviously, not THE Deus Ex Machina. Tyranny Rex has got that) or something, then the person writing the preceding frame can ask for a rewrite.

So. If anyone's up for this, who wants to do Page 1, Frame 1?

PAGE ONE
---------

1) Large panel.  A rather worried looking android is walking across a bleak desert wasteland.  Its outer-casing is transparent, like an iMac, so we can see all of its inner-workings.  In its arms, the android holds a tiny baby, wrapped in a blanket.

CAPTION:  THE SECOND COMING HAS ARRIVED.

2]
The android discovers the baby is pooping all down its shiny alloy casing.

ANDROID :" Switching to anti shitting mode!"

Sorry about that one!

Couldn't resist it!

I will go now...

obviously the desert winds have eroded the 'eyes' of the robot, as we see a badly pixillated POV of the robot of a sign over a shop reading...
'The no room at the inn, inn', 'Managers special this way' an arrow points down an alley to the rear of the shop.

2) A hospital theatre. Stretched out on a table, legs in stirrups is a woman giving birth. From her facial expression & posture she is clearly having a troublesome birth. Medical staff surround her. In the background attending to the surgeons needs is the android from panel one.

CAPTION: LAST WEEK

4) C/u of the android looking down at the baby girl asleep in its arms. Her face and one visible hand are covered in a strange rash. The android is tenderly brushing the hair from her forehead.

ANDROID: THIS'LL HAVE TO DO, KID.
