Rain pattering on the windows, Rooftops, tripling into the puddles below
It zooms onto the church
A poised, Silent Twili sets motionless on a chair
Omen : Silence is your one bliss, with the silenced air around you, and your devotion to the creator, you, my one truest follower, are about… to witness… Enlightenment.
Clock ticks in the background, growing colder and colder
Misc Twili : yes, sir omen, i give you the trust and my devotion required to reach my knowledge.
Omen : Silence now young one, close your eyes… and let the enlightening begin.
a missing poster is on the ground and alto steps on it, overlooking it along with the other posters littering the ground below
Alto : Serpa! Hurry up! I've been out here waiting forever.
shows a sky view of Serpa's house
Alto : walks up to Serpa's door and knocks
Alto : you're never late! Where are you?
Serpa answers the door and greets him
Serpa : You know you don't need to yell loud enough for the entire town to here you right?
Alto : well it wouldn't hurt you to hurry sometimes ya know?
Serpa : yeah yeah. So did you happen to get rem yet?
Alto : No he didn't answer this morning, his mother said he went off earlier for some reason.
Serpa : I hope hes okay, its not like him.
Alto : I guess. But anyways we need to go before it closes.
The church bell signals in the background its echos seem to bother Alto for some reason.
Serpa : are you okay?
Serpa : Alto!?
Alto stands dazed as he begins to stumble out hastily shaken words from his mouth.
Alto : It closes soon and I wanted to play today.
Serpa glances over his shoulder
Serpa : Who are you?
Standing in her drive way a young church boy holding a stack of fliers his demeanor seemed… anxious yet perfectly calm
Dazed Young Twili : Good morning friends, Mr. Aimes, Gave me the honor of handing out fliers for him. He said he wants as many attendants as possible for tonights induction.
Serpa : You mean that weird tall guy?
Dazed young Twili : Please do not speak out of line about Mr.Aimes, he is a good man. He is the only person that helps troubled young people like myself reach enlightenment.
Alto pulls Serpa back and comes forward
Alto : Thank you! We will be sure to attend tonight.
Dazed young Twili : Oh good! I'm sure he will be pleased Also, Please don't speak that way tonight. We don't like people speaking badly of such a good man.
The dazed young boy turns away and walks down the road to the next house
Serpa : Why did you sign me up for your little prayer group?
Alto : I'm not sure Serpa, something seems off about that Aimes guy. I'm not sure what it is but there is something about him.
Serpa : I've never personally even seen the guy, but you're right. It does seem off the way the church functions.
Alto : Well I've kept up with it. Those missing poster don't lie neither. Most if not all of the people who have gone missing have been members of the church.
Serpa : So? They maybe…
Serpa seems a bit stumped at altos statement
Serpa : So a few people go missing and we think its the preacher doing it? I mean come on. There has to be a someone else a little more incriminating.
Alto : Maybe so, But-
Serpa cuts him off
Serpa : Lets go to the damn arcade already before they close. No wonder rem went first, you're always talking his ear off about your conspiracy theories.
Alto : Walks hesitantly with Serpa down the street.
They reach the arcade to find that the doors are sealed shut and an out of business sign hangs pinned on the door
Alto : What the hell is this?
Serpa : You've gotta be kidding me! We walk all the way down here for this garbage.
Alto : Do you think Rem went back home?
Serpa : we would have saw him on his way back dumb dumb.
Alto : well then maybe he ran away, but instead of insulting me what do you want to do other than be a smart ass?
Serpa : Well its either go back home and do nothing, or go to that induction ceremony to prove your little theories wrong.
Alto : lets go to the induction. If nothing else free food.
Serpa Begins walking in the direction of the induction and alto follows her
*they arrive at a small gathering of people, an odd silence fills the air. Not a faintest murmur can be heard. Serpa and alto walk down the few rows of people, in search of a seat.
When suddenly they see Rem on the stage with few others* They seem almost hypnotized as they sit there still*
Dazed Twili Man : Excuse me but this level of rudeness will not do! You are to have a seat or leave! You're friend is simply beyond you swine! He has chosen the path of enlightenment, Rather than your common dribble.
There is an air of silence as alto and Serpa prepare to berate the man, The Blunt sounds of a microphone being messed with echos
Omen : Welcome brothers, Old and new, Young and old, Compliant and…. Rude…
For a split second everything around alto grew still, He glanced up on the stage to see his first glimpse of Omen, Tall... Imposing... Not even one stitch besides the one on his neck
Alto Reluctantly takes a seat nearest to the front
Serpa has a questioning look on her face, Wondering why alto took a seat, She decides it best to take her seat as well.
Omen : glances over alto and Serpa Thank you, Children.
Omen : We will now start the induction… of these troubled youths.
Omen begins to go down a list of names… one by one
Omen : And finally, Our newest student, A young man known as Rem Armata!
Serpa & Alto : Both glance at each other worried
Omen : He is already showing promise as my most prized pupil. Soon he will see the brightness of the light. His mortal body will cease to be, But his soul will be brought to the light! PRAISE THE CREATOR!
Omen raises his fist, and with his fist raised a hundred more raise with it and chants to the "Creator" are nearly screamed
Alto & Serpa : start slowly walking away, Faster and Faster, Terrified of what they've just witnessed.
Part 1 End.
