The Waynes - TV Pilot (Part 1 of 4)
Logline: In an effort to appear as harmless celebrities, billionaire Bruce Wayne hires a reality TV crew to document his family members' chaotic lives. (Part 2)
Part 2 Part 3 and Part 4 are up now!!!!
Did I get a B.A. in Creative Writing for this? Maybe
Btw (O.C.) means Off-Camera so they're in the room but the camera doesn't see them!
I am working on finding the best way to upload this to AO3, but I can't promise if or when it will happen. (I also need to make a new account.) So apologies for the lack of accessibility. Screenshots are my best friend and only option right now :) Also
DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION (THIS OBVIOUSLY TOOK A LOT OF TIME, I WILL BE OUT FOR BLOOD)
Part 2 is separate because I just couldn't fit all 24 pages into one post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(And for those wondering why I'm saying 24 pages instead of 50 like I said originally, it's because my FULL pilot is actually two episodes made to fill an hour block.)

I HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO FINISH MY BOOK.
Sitting up, dizzy, the player says: “Oh, that’s rich, coming from you.”
The faceless being puts a bookmark in-between the pages.
I AM TRYING TO READ CAT’S CRADLE. DO NOT SPOIL THE ENDING.
“I don’t care,” the player says.
I HAD HOPED TO FINISH IT. ALAS, EVEN FOR ONE SUCH AS I—
“Shut up. You’re one to talk about time. Just—shut up. I thought it could be different this time.”
AND I’D HOPED TO FINISH MY BOOK.
“You’re a dick. You’re Death and you’re a dick and you’re going to take my face again.”
YOU KEEP OFFERING IT.
“Agh, I just—I just—it isn’t fair!” screams the player. “It isn’t fair! I knew I was almost out of time, but still, it isn’t, I hadn’t wanted…”
FAIRNESS HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH IT.
The player buries his head in his hands and sobs.
-
“Oh, nice book you’ve got there.”
THANK YOU, Death says. IT IS A BOOK ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD.
“Oh, that sounds bleak, man.”
I AM A BLEAK CREATURE.
“You could say that.”
A long silence falls between Death and the player.
NO REGRETS TO SHOUT AT ME, THEN?
“Why would I?” the player asks. “Nah. I’m good.”
WELL THEN. WE SHOULD GO.
“Can I—I want to make sure they’re okay.”
THEY ARE NOT.
“Ouch. Come on, man, way to make a guy feel like shit.”
I DO NOT LIE, Death says. THEY ARE NOT OKAY.
“Alright,” the player says. “Alright. Fine. But I—I did what I could.”
YES, Death says. THAT IS INDEED THE NATURE OF LIFE.
-
“Give me more time!” screams the player. He lunges at death with bloody claws. “I wanted—there has to be more time!”
I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS IS VERY EFFECTIVE.
“Oh, screw you,” the player says, growling and trying to bite at Death with his teeth.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BORROW MY BOOK INSTEAD?
“No! I want to live! I want more time! I was going to—I want more time!”
OH, VERY WELL. IT IS A GOOD BOOK. IT DOES NOT HAVE A HAPPY ENDING, I THINK, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT BAD.
“I don’t care about your blumin’ book now let me go back!”
Death sighs, a heavy sound, like the wind blowing over a graveyard or the falling of grains of sand.
THE PROBLEM WITH FIGHTING TIME IS THAT IT ALWAYS WINS.
The player shouts incoherently and tries once more to bite Death. It does not do much of anything.
NO MATTER HOW YOU FIGHT IT, IT ALWAYS IS, AND ONE DAY YOU ARE NOT.
“No!”
YES, Death says. BUT I SUPPOSE THE FIGHTING ITSELF CAN BE CATHARTIC. I HAVE NO REASON TO STOP YOU.
“God, it’s like you don’t even care!”
Another long silence.
NO, Death says. NO, THAT’S ONE THING I CAN NEVER BE ACCUSED OF.
The figure with a borrowed face waits for the player’s energy to wear out before sweeping away again. Perhaps it will have time to finish its book before it must work again, but it doubts it. That is how time works, after all—there’s never enough.

The Waynes - TV Pilot (Part 3 of 4)
Logline: In an effort to appear as harmless celebrities, billionaire Bruce Wayne hires a reality TV crew to document his family members' chaotic lives. (Part 1) (Part 2)
Part 4 is up now!!
This second episode is BY FAR crazier than the first :D If you'd like more of Freestyle Checkers, check out my original post about it here
DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION (THIS IS A THREAT, I WILL FIND YOU)
As always, (O.C.) means Off-Camera and (O.S.) means Off-Screen. I use (O.C.) for when they're in the room but not visible and (O.S.) when they're not in the room at all, but that's just preference :) Also (V.O.) means Voiceover
Once again, I am working on finding the best way to upload this to AO3, but I can't promise if or when it will happen. It will most likely happen, though. I just hate how tedious it is :/
Follow "#the waynes script" or just follow me for updates! I will post the second half of this episode sooner than you think so keep a look out <3 LOVE Y'ALL
