A House Divided Intro (My Idea)
I just got done writing this. This is my prediction of how the intro scene will go in Episode 2. Well, not really a prediction, but how I would like it to go. Feel free to add your thoughts, I like to hear what people think. I only wrote it for the version in which you saved Nick at the end of last episode. Oh yea, I apologize in advance for the lack of punctuation an d how unorganized this looks. I tried, i really did, but it kept fucking up whenever I clicked preview to see my work. It would show missing letters if I had punctuation in words like -Im- and -cant- . Any quotation marks or marks to put into those words had to be removed, but I tried making it a bit more organized by making some things bold. Thanks for understanding.
The episode starts off with you and Nick running through the woods. Clem looks to her left, then to her right and sees walkers walking towards them from any direction. This only lasts a good few seconds before they both arrive at a point where the cabin is in sight.
Nick: Lets go!
Just then, a walker comes up from behind Nick. Nick is able to use his rifle to smash it in the head, then they run off leaving the walker slightly wounded. Luke is seen at the front door running towards you guys.
Luke: Holy shit man, what the hell did you guys do out there? and where the hell is Pete?
Nick: Clementine left him
Clem: Wait hold on, I didnt-
Luke: Clem?
A: It wasnt my fault
B: Yeah, I did
C: Lets talk about this later
Silence
Option A
Clem: It wasnt my fault, I- I swear!
Nick: Dude, Luke. She left him and went for me instead. He needed the help more than I did.
Luke: Clem I…
Option B
Clem: Yeah, I did.
Nick: See? What did I tell you?
Luke is speechless.
Option C
Clem: Lets not talk about this right now.
Option D
Clem doesnt say anything.
All four options result in Luke looking up and seeing many walkers walking towards the cabin.
Luke: Shit… Come on!
All three of you run inside the house and Nick shuts it closed while Luke catches up with you.
Luke: Are you alright?
Carlos is seen quickly running down the stairs while Rebecca appears from around the corner.
Rebecca: What the hell is going on?
Carlos looks at the three of you and notices Petes absence.
Carlos: Wheres Pete?
Luke: I- Umm…
Sarah then peeks her head from around the corner of the wooden frame of her bedroom. Carlos notices.
Carlos: Sarah, get back inside. This is adult talk.
Rebecca angrily starts walking towards the three of you.
Rebecca: Carlos asked you a question, Im pretty sure he expects an answer
Nick, very frustrated, walks into the kitchen leaving just Luke and Clem to deal with Carlos and Rebecca.
Carlos: Luke? Clementine?
A: Hes dead
B: He was bitten
C: We got separated
Silence
Option A
Clem: Hes dead
Luke: What the hell?
Carlos and Rebecca were shocked.
Luke: W-wait Clem, are you sure?
Rebecca: HES DEAD!?
Luke: Now hold on, maybe she thought he was dead.
Carlos: This is serious Clem, you have to be completely honest with us.
Option B
Clem: He was bitten
Everybody stood in shock for a moment before Luke finally spoke again.
Luke: Woah hold on, Pete was… Bitten?
Rebecca: We cant trust her. For all we know this could of all been her fault.
Carlos: and how do you suppose a little girl can cause this much damage?
Rebecca: Well Im sure she found a way.
Luke: Clementine… Where is he now?
Option C
Clem: We got separated. I dont know where he is now
Luke: Okay, so he can still be fine. When is the last time you saw him?
Clem: He was on the other side of the river and-
Option D
Clem was silent.
Rebecca: This girl is clueless.
Luke: Just give her some time! Shes a little girl for christs sake
Rebecca gives Luke a dirty look.
Rebecca: Well she better think fast because we got wal-
All four options end up in two walkers breaking door. Alvin runs up behind Rebecca with a shotgun. Rebecca turns around to see him.
Rebecca: Alvin!
Alvin: Stand back!
Alvin points his shotgun at the entrance of the cabin as a third walker attempts to make its way in. All of a sudden, a walker breaches a hole through one of the boarded up windows and manages to reach its arms through and grab Alvin.
Nick: Shit!
Carlos quickly runs back upstairs to Sarah. Nick runs around the corner to see the oncoming walkers at the entrance while walkers begin to start tearing down some of the boarded windows. Nick fires his rifle a few times, missing a few shots, getting a few body shots and one headshot. Alvin struggles to break free from the walkers grasp. Nick changes his position to aim at the walker attacking Alvin and pulls the trigger, but only to find out that he is out of ammo.
Nick: No, fuck!
Luke: Clem, go in the kitchen and see if you can find anything that can be used as a weapon. Ill hold these ones off.
Luke starts firing a pistol at some of the ones trying to get in through the entrance. Clem runs into the kitchen and you now temporarily play as her. You control her character through the kitchen, checking every drawer and cabinet while a time limit is at the bottom of the screen. After searching for a while, Clem stumbles across a cleaver. Clem runs back to Luke.
Luke: Go help out Alvin!
Clem looks over to see Nick bashing the walkers head in with the back of the rifle. The walker lets go and Alvin is free. Luke starts to reload while more walkers start heading in the house. Carlos runs back downstairs carrying Sarah.
Carlos: We need to get the hell outta here!
Alvin, Nick and Rebecca start heading out the back door while Carlos and Luke try to escape through a window. You then have to make a decision. Go the easy way through the backdoor with Rebecca, Alvin and Nick, or the slightly more difficult and time consuming way, but with Luke there to protect you.
A: Head out the backdoor
B: Head out the window
Option A
You now control Clem again. Your job here is to maneuver through the multiple rooms and halls of the house while pressing keys when prompted to do so for quick time events avoiding walkers. Once you are at the end, Clem runs out the backdoor and runs around the house and makes it to Luke, Carlos and Sarah.
Option B
You now control Clem again. Your job here is to maneuver through the multiple rooms and halls of the house while pressing keys when prompted to do so for quick time events avoiding walkers. Once you are at the end, Clem runs towards the window. Luke goes through the window first, then Carlos puts Sarah through. Carlos then allows you to get through before him. While he helps you climb out, a walker grabs him from behind.
Luke: Carlos!
Carlos manages to push it off and escapes through the window. Rebecca, Alvin and Nick make it to you guys and you are now all surrounded by walkers.
Alvin: Stay calm, dont panic. We can get through this.
Nick: Lets unload on these bastards!
Everybody starts to fire their weapons and starts to use melee weapons. Carlos stands in one spot while Sarah crawls down next to him and covers her ears. Luke fires multiple pistol rounds, getting headshots for each one while Alvin fires massive holes in walkers with his shotgun. Nick starts to reload his weapon and then starts firing… and missing and hits their bodies. Rebecca starts firing her pistol and hitting walkers in the head as well. Nick turns around and sees the walkers from the cabin are coming out.
Nick: Behind us!
Luke, Alvin, and Carlos stay situated while shooting the oncoming from the woods while Rebecca and Nick fire at the ones coming from the house. Rebecca has to reload, but does it at a bad time and a walker almost gets her until Alvin blows its head into pieces with his shotgun. A few more walkers, a few more seconds, the noise is finally over. Everybody sighs in relief and looks back at the house.
Luke: God Damn
Alvin: It shouldnt be too difficult to repair what has been damaged. Its just a door and a couple of windows. Should take no more than a day or two.
Luke: Alright, well… good work guys.
Sarah looks up at Carlos.
Carlos: Dont worry sweetie, its over now.
She stands up. Everybody starts to head back inside the house. From a distance, at the edge of the woods on a small hill. A man stares down at the cabin and the group with binoculars. The man stares at Rebecca longer than anybody else. Slight heavy breathing is heard for a few seconds, then it stops. The man stops peeking through his binoculars, and after a few seconds of silence, he shows a small grin.
The screen fades to black with a loud bang and the title - The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - A House Divided - appears.
Anyways, is any of this a possibility? Does anybody else have the same ideas as me? Thanks for taking the time to read!
Comments
This actually sounds legit. You've pretty much nailed everything, the characters, the choices, tension, bitchy Rebecca personality, the things and the stuff... Damn... Great work. I'd be pretty satisfied if this was the actual opening.
I don't think that walkers are going to attack to the cabin. I think that episode 2 starts off like this: Clementine and sarah are alone in the cabin (rest of the group are probably searching for Nick or cheking Pete's body, despends n your choise), then Sarah notices that someone is outside the cabin (carver), clementine goes to downatairs, carver knocks to the Door, he and clementine have a conversation, carver leaves the cabin, the cabin group comes back, clementine tells what happened and after that they leave the cabin because they fear carver.
It was quite dissapointing that you made clem didn't go with pete first
