Isvara and the Plastic Sword ---------------------------- Scene 1 8am, Flat 13 Thorncliffe house, Whitworth Park [A phone rings. No-one answers. The phone keeps ringing. Eventually, a very obviously Scottish guy emerges from the depths of his room, and answers it] Gareth (slighty pissed off): Hello? Isvara (slurring): Hi, er, is, er, Chris there please? Gareth (weary): I'll get him [Gareth goes downstairs and knocks on Chris' door] Chris (from behind door, obviously still in bed): Mmmm..? Gareth: There's a drunk guy on the phone for you Chris: Oh good. Hold on. [Chris emerges and goes to the phone] Chris: Yes dan? Isvara: Hi Chris! We've been up drinking *all* night! Chris: Well done Isvara: and we're, yeah, a bit pissed. Chris: That's nice. Isvara: You should have come out with us! We've been drinking red wine and black vodka! Chris: Why are you telling me this? Isvara: Are you going to your C lecture later? Chris: Uh, yeah. Isvara: Oh good. We'll have to come and get you, like, with swords and stuff. Chris: That's nice, Dan. Isvara: See you later, then? Chris: Yes, dan. [Chris hangs up phone, goes back to bed] Scene 2 10:07am, Lecture Theater 1.1, CS building. A C lecture is in progress. Many people are not paying attention. Suddenly, a figure enters through the bottom left door. It's Isvara, looking a little worse for wear, but very determined. Lecturer: Can I help you? Isvara: I'm just looking for someone [Chris disappears under desk, giving instructions to all people around him to say he's not there] Lecturer: Okaay. [Isvara gets out a large plastic sword. A large *pink* plastic sword. He waves it around, and strides up and down the front of the lecture theater] Isvara: It's my weapon! Do you see? Do you see? Lecturer: Right... we'll ignore him for the moment [Isvara starts of his way up the lecture theatre, looking for Chris. He eventually sits down on the end of the row Chris is hiding underneath the desks of] Isvara: So, do you guys know where Chris is? People: No; he's not turned up. Said something about going to find you at your flat. Isvara: Well, good. Maybe I'll just wait outside for him. [Isvara leaves the lecture theatre, and goes to sit in the seating area just outside, where he stays for the next 2 hours, waiting for Chris to finish his lectures. A humourous chase across the lecture theatre desks ensues, and eventually he gives up and goes home]
