::cut to a large, open area. It is inside an office building. Along one wall is various inspirational posters, framed pictures of random things and a section of storyboards tacked to a bulletin board. The room itself is filled with beanbags, file cabinets, crowded, messy desks and various other office paraphenillia. There is a copier hunched against a support pillar that has not been able to copy for years. It does, however, fax. Seated on three foldable tables are three people. One has a clipboard and is busy taking notes. Let's listen in on their conversation::
"Sure, Sir Josh can enter heaven. But how exciting is that?"
"I know! We can have the forces of hell invade!"
"Yawn. Major yawn. We have to do something cool. Maintain the interest of the readers."
"Yeah, but is Sir Toby going to like it?"
"Sir Toby is like Kibo. He likes everything. It's those damn Story Cops that are always getting in the way of everything."
"SHH!"
"What, you think they might hear us? Here?"
"Yes!"
"You sir, are nuts. Now let's not get off track here. Sir Josh has just entered heaven. Good stories are about drama. We need to have some sort of drama. And remember, a deserted heaven was already done in Addventure."
"Okay. Here's what happens......
Sir Josh enters heaven. To the right is a table where a matronly bald woman sits. She hands a clipboard to Josh. "Please sign in." she says.
Josh signs in.
"Thank you. Please go down the hall and to the right. Orientation begans in five minutes. There's free coffee. Please restrain from flying, mind-melding or living your life-long fantasies until the Guide says it is okay."
Sir Josh was jostled out of the way by a burly farmer in overalls. The bald woman repeated her speech to him. What does Sir Josh do now?
-
Sir Josh goes down the hall and to the right.
-
Sir Josh goes down the hall and to the left! Oh my!
-
Sir Josh exits Heaven and questions Saint Peter. He wants to know what is going on!
-
Sir Josh flies, mind-melds and lives out his life-long fantasies, contrary to what he's been told.
-
Sir Josh goes down the hall, to the right and just keeps on going!
