Tiddleywinks! by Mathew J Frink

CHARACTERS

TIDDLYWINKS: is a gnome bard who is very naive and youthful. Big eyes and dimples, she epitomizes adorableness. She excitedly talks A LOT in a sing-song voice and can ask questions for hours. Her name is absurdly long and no one has the patience to listen to her entire introduction, though she really tries to get the whole thing in. As, she is extremely proud of her name, because she “added all the extras herself!” Her goal in life is to bring joy to the world through her uplifting music and indomitable optimism. She is the leader of the band, however she has yet to decide on what to name it…

SMRRR: is TIDDLYWINKS BFF. An Ork heading toward his twilight years, he is a fishmonger. He is a very bad fishmonger as lets them “ripen up” before selling them to customers. Mostly enjoying the peace and quiet of napping by the river with a string tied to his toe, even SMRRR has no idea how TIDDLYWINKS talked him into joining her band. Upon meeting this peculiar ork, TIDDLYWINKS asked him to try out drumming for her band because “his drumming couldn’t be worse than his sushi.” This is debatable.

GRYFFIN: is a human male. Good looking and talented, he is wasted opportunity. Born into privilege, he has never done a minute of labor in his entire life. Now, with his father bestowing him the “honor” of becoming Sir. Gooder’s Squire, he desperately seeks escape from this life of perceived toil and trouble. Using the rest of his allowance he hired an impersonator guy, and joined up with his new friend Tiddlywinks and her troup of “bards” to travel the countryside for the summer responsibility free.

SHELBY SINISTER: is a teenage sea hag rebeling against her coven. She is gross. SHELBY’s hideousness is in juxtaposition to TIDDLYWINKs cuteness. Her hag mother and sister are repulsed by her desire to mingle with the “goodly folk” and subject victims to the “screeching torture”, as shelby’s matrons describe tiddelywinks voice. SHELBY has a very juvenile sense of humor full of gross out jokes as well as explicit sexual jokes. As teenagers do, she is exploring who she is and who she can be! This has led to her mixing her go-to comedy genres…To the horror of all who hear.

TOODLEZ: is the goblin booze master facilitates the band’s needs for travel and refreshments. Making very strange alcoholic concoctions that somehow work, but shouldn’t, he never fails to weird out/delight his patrons. Toodles is obsessed with having a good time. He is always happy and jovial. Unless, someone poops on his party! Then, the tough little bastard can get scrappy.

SIR DOUG GOODER: is a Dragonborn. His bright blue scales contrast with his white robes and gold plated armor. High Knight to the Temple of Justice. Has recently taken Gryffin on as his squire

GUY: Looks like any other guy. A professional impersonator. He’s a chameleon both in his subterfuge skills and his illusion magic. Gryffin has hired him to masquerade as a squire in his place.

SARABEL: a fetching half elf woman. She is a traveler in need of help!

WALTER: SARABEL’s father. He is human and old. And, hurt too. Got bit by gnolls

GNOLLS: are humanoid hyenas. Their God has cursed them to eternal hunger. They are ragged and ravenous.

SETTING: The Hardborne lands are a place of magic and wonder. It is a melting pot of mythical creatures as well as humans. As beautiful and whimsical this land is, outside the law and order of settlements, to an inexperienced adventurer, the Hardborne lands can be a brutal place to survive. With packs of gnolls roaming the countryside and barbarians conquering from the east, It is not uncommon for travelers to be found dead along the road, or not be found at all.

Full portrait of a cluttered dive bar. A stage at the top of the page, and a bar to the right. A small dance floor in front of the stage with a few tables spread about. There are a few rough looking patrons dotting the space. GRYFFIN is at a table in the foreground speaking with GUY. They are playing chess. The bartender, a dark bearded Dwarf, is shouting toward TIDDLYWINKS who is singing on the stage. SHELBY is on the dance floor clutching her latest romantic victim as he squirms to escape. TOODLEZ and SMRRR are fighting a group of patrons. TOODLEZ is going “fisty cuffs” while SMRRR has a ruffian in a rear naked choke.

CAP: About a two weeks earlier in Hardborne City. A tavern called “The Rathole.”

TIDDLYWINKS: OK, just one more, I give my word as my oath.

BARTENDER: Damn it! No-one asked for an encore. I done paid ye, now get off my stage ya damn beardless brat!

TIDDLYWINKS: This song is also my name! (singing) Tiddlywinks Parcheesi Backgammon…

SFX: strum strum

SHELBY: Is that a wand in your pocket…

TOODLEZ: I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough!

SMRRR: Smrrr’s clever trick is to leave the fish at room temperature for at least four days…

TIDDLYWINKS (BG): (singing) Badminton Jax Crazy Eights Tops Chess Hopscotch Marbles Capture the Flag……

BARTENDER (BG): Damn it, SHUT UP TIDDLYWINKS!

GRYFFIN: And I have paid you handsomely for that skill, and you better be good. If Sir Doug catches you, we are both fucked! So, watch your grubby mitts. He will notice things missing. Just polish his armor, and enjoy the privileges that come with squireship. Just make sure sign up for the pilgrimage and get on that damn ship! You do that, no-one will ever know.

GUY: And you are going to be doing what exactly?

TIDDLYWINKS (BG): (singing) …Hopscotch Marbles Skeeball Musical Chairs…

Panel 2: Close up of the “chess like” game. A hand reaches to make a move.

GRYFFIN (OP): I joined the band! Don’t look at me like that. Do you know any other musicians? I know they suck, but Tiddlywinks said that shitty music is all the rage at the people’s palace.  And, Toodlez has a cart and a horse so I figure it beats putting up with “The Rules General” all summer.

GUY (OP): (mumbling) no, you delegate that to me-

GRYFFIN (OP): -And I paid you handsomely.

Panel 3: Side view of table and the conversation. Only now, TIDDLYWINKS is standing on the table, has wrecked their game, and is dramatically finishing her song. GRYFFIN and GUY look up at her in bewilderment.

BARTENDER: (OP) I’m Warnin’ you girlie. Don’t make me 86 you again.

Panel 6: SHELBY is dancing with a patron that is currently turned away from her losing his lunch through the act of barfing all over the place. SHELBY is giving him “the sexy look.” This is the reason for his puke session.
