I started this script and can't get any further. Er. Just FYI, Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War and Confucius was a philosopher. I'm looking at 8 pages for Wish, including the coverpage. I want it to be an Elf themed story but AS IT IS I have no plot and no final punchline. I've fucked a little with history (as I usually do) as it is likely that if Sun existed at all he'd have been a tad younger than Confucius (although many see them as contemporaries). Still I rather like this set up. BUT. I don't know where it's going or where it'll end, and you're always so helpful...

#1
//[China, 6th century BCE]//
//[It's a nice sunny day in the State of Lu]//
//[And nice Mr Sun Tzu has decided to take some time out from writing his opus on The Cute Things Fluffy Kittens Do and indulge in a spot of gardening.] Tzu in the garden, humming to himself as he waters the plants. Maybe singing some trashy pop song.//
//Tzu gets hit in the head with a spray of water.//
#2
//Shadow over Tzu as he tries to get groggily to his feet, groaning. Shadow: "Heeeeeey Mister Tzuuuuuu!"//
//"Want me to help you up?! - Oops!" Little Confucius totally wedgies Sun Tzu as he tries to help him up by the seat of his pants.//
//Sun: "Why you little..." Confucius looking innocent: "Mr Tzu! Please, your virtue! Why, 'The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it.'"//
//Confucius riding gleefully away on some kind of BCE tricycle a la Dennis the Menace with Sun Tzu screaming, "CONFUCIUS, YOU'RE A MENACE!"//
#3
//{That night} Tzu begins writing his Fluffy kittens books//
//Confucious pops up and spouts an annoying aphorism of his, Tzu tells himself, "Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts..."//
//{Even in the conservatory, Sun Tzu cannot escape the boy's taunts.} Tzu getting madder in the conservatory as Confucious blurts stuff through the window.//
//{Finally - INSERT AN APHORISM, like, much as the lily must bend to accomodate a strong wind, or something similar} Sun screams, "I've had enough! GO AWAY, YOU LOATHSOME CHILD!" And knocks over the bonzai he's been watering.//
#4
//He runs outside, yelling, YOU MENACE...//
//And is suddenly face to face with the Elf, who is looking ethereal and cool//
//Sun: "Wh-who are you?" Elf: "I am Lady Amethyst Moonrose, the elven tree-spirit of your bonzai."//
//Sun, fearful: "What do you want from me, my lady?"//
//Elf: "To begin with you could REPLANT ME YOU HAIRY IDIOT"//

//{Later, after a quick replanting, Sun Tzu speaks to the Elf} Sun is finishing up telling the Elf about the Confucious problem. I'm not sure exactly what this page will be like, but I need the Elf to explain the Art of War; My kind have trained for years in the arts of war and for your kind replanting, I will teach you of... etc etc... Sun may say, But he's only a child and Elf will say, OUR WORST ENEMIES or some such.

This one should be a set up like home alone, later, when Confucius comes to see Sun the next day and suddenly gets caught in all these traps.
7
More traps happen, and finally he's all tied up and Elf threatens him, Go peddle your aphorisms elsewhere, CHILD OF EVIL! That and your infernal goodwill!

{And so it came to pass that Sun Tzu put the writing of his book on Fluffy Kittens on hold for the time being...} Sun and Elf watching Confucius run off into the distance. Elf giving him advice on the Art of war, etc. Sun is like, so tell me more about this art of war and Elf is like, wait, I hear the kids in the kindergarten down the road have been littering, while sharpening her sword, or something like that. THE END.
I want to introduce Elf into the 'history' of Blackaby in this story. The other characters do kind of revolve around each other and interact directly but Elf is pretty much always going to be on the outer with her own little range of THE ADVENTURES OF LADY AMETHYST MOONROSE stories.
So please give me a hand to see hwere this can go in the next five pages, I'd like a cool settlement (rather like the other Elf story with Atlantis innit). Thank you!!!
