Pairwise RandoJam 1: "Contrast"


Pairwise Randojam is an experiment in anonymous collaboration that was inspired by Whispered Apologies.

Each participant was given the prompt, and had a week to come up with a script. The finished scripts were then stripped of all identifying marks and randomly assigned back out to the participants.

The results are presented below:

 

 

Panel 1:
A mountain pass, snow covered. Two figures dressed all in black stand looking away, down into the valley beyond which we cannot see.
Taller Figure - "You still wish to do this?"

Panel 2:
Closer up the figures can be seen to be an old man (the taller figure) and a young woman. We can now see what they see... the valley beyond has a dragon coiled in the middle, there are charred bushes and stuff... but the have snow on them.
Young Woman - "We came all this way..."

Panel 3:
Close up of the dragon, we can now see that it is dead, but that it is coiled round a fresh green plant with a single strange fruit growing on it.
Young Woman - "...We will take the fruit of the Dragon Soul Tree."

Panel 1:
Two glow-worms sitting in the sand under some grass-blades at night. Above them, the moon and the stars. They are playing cards.
Bigger one: “Frank, Did you ever notice that the Moon is so damn big while we are so freakin’ tiny in comparison?
Frank (the other glowworm) : In comparison of what, Digby?

Panel 2:
Digby: In comparison to the moon, Idiot! Don’t tell me that you don’t feel yourself humble, insignificant and trivial in the face of the Universe.
Frank: To be honest, no. Why should I?

Panel 3:
Digby: Because you are just a little drop of spit in the ocean of the universe!
Frank: So is the moon. And now shut up and keep playing.

 

Setting: Two characters in a room in front of a computer.
You may be as simple or as elaborate as you like.
Gender is irrelevant. Color preferred by not required.

First Panel
1st Character: "Check out my new monitor."
2nd Character: "Nice picture. Very crisp!"
1st Character: "And the contrast is only set at 29."

Second Panel
(From the original camera angle, or perhaps zooming in on the monitor.)
1st Character: (touching finger to button on monitor) "Watch what happens when I increase the contrast up to 100." 2nd Character: (bold text) "No! Don't do tha-"

Third Panel
{Your choice: All black, or all white fills the final panel. Just make sure it contrasts with the border.}
/Leave it at that.
//Hilarity ensues.
///A blind man probably saw this coming.

Panel 1 There are two guys. The one on the left looks good (called Good), while the one on the right looks evil (called Evil). Good is waving while Evil is just standing there.
Good: Hi, I’m Good!
Evil: I’m Evil.

Panel 2
Good and Evil are still standing there. Good looks surprised. Evil is pointing at Good.
Evil: You look stupid.

Panel 3
Still just Good and Evil. Good looks upset, maybe you can have his arms dropped low and he’s looking down or something. Evil has one eyebrow raised and a little smile. Something to show a “Yeah, so” kind of expression.
Good: That isn’t very nice.
Evil: You expected less?

Contrast (or the lack thereof)

Panel 1:
A well-polished and medal-heavy general striking a threatening pose, and gesturing to the right. A line of soldiers stand shoulder-to-shoulder in front of him, also looking off-panel to right.
General #1: Your way of life is invalid! We shall rid this land of your vile influence!

Panel 2:
Burning miliary vehicles and dead bodies lay strewn amongst ruined buildings, under an ugly grey sky.

Panel 3: This panel looks like panel 1, but the uniforms are different, and everyone is looking to the left
General #2: Your way of life is invalid! We shall rid this land of your vile influence!

Note: It may be more effective if you de-contectualize things by making the participants not human, or perhaps put the whole situation in the distant past (ie: chariots and phalanxes instead of tanks and riflemen)
