The scene fades into a dimly lit room, the only light source being a hanging bulb in the centre of the room. Under the light is a bare wooden desk with a single wooden chair either side. In one seat sits the undeniably unorthodox Lotus Flojo, and the other, Elsa Holmberg, flanked by a cross-armed, stern, Dragana. Both Troupe members sport noir detective-like get-ups.
Elsa leans forward towards FloJo who sits back and crosses her arms, unimpressed by even having to be here.
Elsa: Where were you being on the night Terra was attacked?
Flojo: Are you two serious? Why would I put hands on that hippy? I’ve got my own problems to deal with in OCW. Personal and professional.
Elsa: Answer these question!
Dragana closes in on Flojo who is a little taken back by Elsa’s uncharacteristic aggressiveness.
Flojo: Hey, chill, b! Geez… I was watching My Hero Academia with Valkyrie if you must know. Now can I get outta here?
Elsa: No...We’ll need to confirming this with Valkyrie.
Flojo: This is kidnapping, you gooch-muncher! I’m outties, b…Ooooooooooo
Lotus gets up out of her chair and heads for the door. Dragana begins to move in order to stop her but Elsa puts her hand out in front to halt the Silent Queen.
Elsa: She right, Dragana. We can’t keeping her from going if she wants to.
FloJo: Thought we were friends, Dragana. Bye.
Holmberg raises her voice a little to ensure Flojo, who is halfway out the door, hears her.
Elsa: You be hearing from us very soon, Flojo!
FloJo: Tch. Surething, Swede!
Dragana: Hmph.
Dragana stares intently toward FloJo’s direction as the door is slammed shut.
Elsa: Don't worry, Dragana, we find who attack, Terra. One way or other.
The scene fades to black.
Les Femme Brutalis vs
Lollipop Chainsaw
The scene is set at night time outside the wrecked home of Terra Daturas, the windows still shattered and the shards of glass are still strewn about. Yellow police tape is wrapped around all over the building. It reads, “POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS”. The camera pans out to reveal a figure appearing from the shadows. The figure wraps up his slightly long hair into a ponytail, and dons a sort of mask. It then puts on a pair of gloves and wraps a pair of booties around its shoes.
??? (Voiceover): Never thought I’d be doing detective work. But I saw the expression on Dragana’s face and I knew I had to help.
The camera zooms in to reveal Johnny Law making his way into Terra’s home, being careful not to step on the glass.
Johnny (Voiceover): There’s a brutally cold feeling in the air. The kind that hits over the head and makes you wonder whether what you’re doing is a smart idea, breaking and entering into someone’s else’s abode. Well, someone else took care of the breaking part.
Johnny looks around the establishment for clues.
Johnny (Voiceover): Cops are taking their time....Might as well investigate.
Johnny (Voiceover): Despite the damage to the windows, everything else seems to be intact. All the valuables are still here, so this wasn’t just a burglary gone awry. This was personal.
Johnny walks closer to the scene of the crime. He takes note of the positioning of the furniture, in particular a large wooden table. He crouches down and takes out a flashlight from his hoodie pocket. He illuminates the table.
Johnny (Voiceover): Didn’t care much for Terra at first. Seemed like a disingenuous hippie advertising her vegan products. Like a door-to-door saleswoman who wanted nothing more than for you to shut the f*** up and give her your credit card so she can go away.
The Mask with a Mouth reaches out and touches the table.
Johnny (Voiceover): But I realized that she was genuine. And that she was just...innocent and naive. She helped Dragana find herself. You don’t see many people like that these days.
Johnny sees what look to be shoe prints on the table.
Johnny (Voiceover): A table by itself is not gonna cause broken ribs. But when you pin someone down and apply pressure…..those things snap like twigs.
He takes out his phone and takes some pictures while still using his flashlight as a light source.
He stands back upright and continues his investigation. He eventually comes across a knocked down telephone. He looks through the missed calls, noting Dragana and Aerith’s attempts to call her, but a certain “A” sticks out to him….
Johnny (Voiceover): Who or what is “A”? A telemarketer? Or someone who had something to do with this? It being the first of those missed calls in rapid succession has to mean something….
He takes out a notepad and a pen from his pocket, taking down the mysterious number. He returns the phone.
Johnny (Voiceover): Definitely signs of struggle, but….No blood to be found around here. And even if there was, I doubt Terra was in the business for spilling other people’s blood.
Johnny (Voiceover): The whole place is creepy and my spine shivers, but I know I’m getting closer to the truth. There has to be something else.
The masked man sighs and heads to one of the side entrances, realizing it’s been left open. He looks at the handle with his head tilted.
Johnny (Voiceover): Smooth texture. The kind of handle that would be….difficult to handle with gloves.
He digs through his hoodie pocket again and pulls out a small fingerprint brush. He proceeds to clean the handle, all while pushing a button on his flashlight, changing the light projection to a blue-ish color. He analyzes the handle and sees what looks to be a thumb print on it.
Johnny: Gotcha, bitch.
He pulls out his phone once more and takes multiple pictures from different angles.
???: HEY!
Johnny’s attention is called to a nearby neighbor through one of the windows. He awkwardly waves.
Johnny: Howdy neighbor!
He then quickly grabs his things and sprints out of the home. He jumps over a wooden fence and speeds down a nearby alley.
Johnny (Voiceover): There’s one thing people don’t know about me. When I’m looking for something…..I don’t stop until I find it. And when I find the person that did this….There’s gonna be hell to pay.
