Dead Toe Society Promo Script#1
We’re on the deck of the Dead Toe Society’s ship. CAPTAIN BART and PARROT pop into the frame.
CAPTAIN BART
(exuberant)
Ahoy, me hearties!
He pauses. Looks to the left…looks to the right.
Have we run aground?!
PARROT
(squawks)
Sailing while gaming! Sailing while gaming!
CUT TO: MERMAID, breaking away from a multiplayer game.
MERMAID
(Into her headset)
Wait, something’s happening In Real Life. Gotta go.
She joins Captain Bart, Parrot, and RGB.
CAPTAIN BART
Mateys!
(crestfallen)
It appears we be stuck on a reef.
RGB
(Impatiently calling over to the crew)
Okay, who was supposed to be at the helm?
CUT TO: The crew. A combination of sea monsters and sailors huddled around a flat screen clasping their controllers. They turn to the camera in unison, shrug, then abruptly turn back to their game.
MERMAID
What exactly was in that locked chest the crew brought back?
PARROT
(squawks)
Diablo Immortal
(or a similar addictive game title)
CAPTAIN BART
Well, I suppose we’ll just wait on the tide.
MERMAID
How long’s that gonna take? I’ve got COD at 7.
CAPTAIN BART
And a podcast episode at 8.
RGB
(testy)
Another one?!
CAPTAIN BART
(testier)
Aye, another one! You know we bring the listeners a new show every Wednesday at 8.
PARROT
(squawks)
Wednesdays at 8.
RGB
Oh, yeah. Where we give them all the tea on everything happening in the gaming world. News, reviews, release dates, who’s playing what—
MERMAID
And in-depth discussions of our favorite RPGs, console games, and tabletop games.
CAPTAIN BART
Aye, we do. With new topics and special guests every week!
