Scripting, pages 1-3

I've never actually done something like this before. With any luck, this will be easy to understand. If it isn't, we can tweak it. Here goes.

[represents the exact picture. what the audience is looking at]
{represents invoked feelings or senses, for either the characters or the audience}
*something said with emphasis, either itallics or bolded, your choice. ** both itallic and bold
SHOUTED!
((On one "line" of panels. This groups the panels together, though you can decide the size of each one as you see fit.))


((First panel
[a panoramic view of the outskirts of a medium sized desert city. A shadowed figure off the the side, lounging on overturned crates]
{feelings of hot, dry heat, and also of secrecy or deviousness}))

((Second panel
[close up of the shadowed figure - Yul]
{annoyance}

Third panel
[shot of vexa arguing with a fat merchant]
{angry feelings, small in stature}))

((Fourth and fifth panels
[Yul getting up off the crates and stretching]
{annoyance, power - he should come off as a warrior tried and true}
Yul: Vexa...))

______________________

((First panel
[Vexa is still arguing]

Second panel
[Still arguing, threatening the merchant with her staff]
Yul, offscreen: Vexa...

Third panel
[still arguing]))

((Forth panel
[Yul gets between them]
{putting his foot down, no nonsense}
Yul: For the love of the GODS woman, would you stop yapping at the man for two minutes and calm down!

Fifth panel
[Vexa jabs her staff into a tender body part - gut, groin, foot, etc]
Optional Vexa : Harrumph (or other such angry/annoyed noise

Sixth panel
[Vexa angry at everybody]
{Frustration, anger}
Vexa: No! Vexa will not calm down! She is being cheated! It will not be tolerated and Reparations must be made before the caravan will be permitted to leave!

Seventh panel
[Vexa and Yul glowering]
{size difference between the two should be emphasized}))

((Eigth, ninth and tenth panels, possibly more if you like
[Yul annoyed in various postures]
Yul: Urgh... stupid greedy good fer nothing...Listen, I don't know how much you think you're being 'cheated' you coin-squeezing cheapskate. I don't care. If you have to, take the difference out of my stipend. The rest of the caravan is dying in the heat. They aren't built to withstand this kind of weather like you and I are. Just take your money and lets go."))
