INT. MUSTACHIO GANG HIDEOUT – AFTERNOON

EL MUSTACHIO GRANDE and the four other members of his gang are lazing around, trying to avoid the height of the daytime desert heat and plotting their next move.

SCARRED BANDIT

That bank is wide open for us. Traders are coming soon too, we can grab it and pawn it off with no one noticing!

BANDIT GIRL

I don’t want to go back out until we know that storm isn’t going to happen again!

REDHEAD BANDIT

Still worried about you lil’ neckerchief?

BANDIT GIRL

It’s not just that! Y’know I can handle losing a piece of fabric!

(con’t)

Something was wrong there. It felt dangerous.

REDHEAD BANDIT

…Still worried about your dangerous lil’ neckerchief?

BANDIT GIRL

I’m gonna get you right between the eyes–!

MUSTACHIO

Come on, enough of that!

(con’t)

Yes, a scrap of fabric is no problem, but what happened the other day was not something we should scoff at.

EXT. DUSTY GULCH – EVENING

We’re back outside the Dusty Gulch Hotel. WIDOW can be seen through the saloon doors at the bar counter, looking much less agonized. Meanwhile, MOREAU is getting her picture taken by a photographer outside. She is handed her photo, disappointed to find that DR. HARE accidentally photobombed her while he was lurking in the background for clues, walking around with a metal detector.

MOREAU runs to him, whispering:

MOREAU

You! Put that away! We don’t need to attract any more attention?

HARE pushes a button. The metal detector swiftly folds up into a compact case.

HARE

Do you have any better ideas?

DIRECTOR D.

(Off-screen)

Over here!

DIRECTOR D. is searching behind a nearby trading post. He’s looking at the base, where an old handkerchief is laying. Not just old–its threads are coated with a strange, dark substance, similar to the one found by the ship’s mast.

DR. HARE picks it up with a cloth and puts it in a bag.

HARE

I’ll test it when we get back to the ship.

DEPUTY

Howdy there!

EXT. CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S SHIP “H.M.S. SEA CHICKEN” – EVENING

FADE IN on the ship, later the same day. CRAWFISH has managed to gather everyone on the ship together on the deck. EDWARD is next to him with an old blackboard and a piece of chalk the size of his knuckle. Compared to the lovely weather from earlier, storm clouds are approaching once more.

CRAWFISH

All right, you lily-livered new folk!

(con’t)

I know none of you are used to life at sea, so we’re going to change that starting now!

HARE gags, still a little green in the face.

CRAWFISH

Each one of you has to carry your weight, no matter how high and mighty you may think you are.

EDWARD

None of us want to go through the trouble of training all of ye, so most of this will be cleaning an’ simple chores.

DIRECTOR D.

I used to hire janitors for this…

EXT. CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S SHIP “H.M.S. SEA CHICKEN” – MORNING

It’s the next day since the villain’s escape from Erewhon prison. While there’s no storms currently overhead, the sky is patched with clouds. BLACK WIDOW is on deck, wrapping her wrists and hands with bandages and tape.

She turns to one of the masts, where an area has been marked with old paint splatters. WIDOW starts punching, rapidly striking at the pole with no apparent injury or pain to her knuckles.

CUT TO the interior of CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S cabin, which is placed near the stern. The windows are decorated with red stained glass, and crimson-hued lanterns add light to the room. It’s covered in treasure and nice furniture from his previous expeditions, including luxurious rugs, antique globes that map different “dimensions” of Poptropica, and a daybed in a nook. CRAWFISH is sitting at his main desk near the windows, with some extra chairs placed out. DIRECTOR D., MOREAU, and his assistant EDWARD are all in the room.

CRAWFISH motions to the chairs.

CRAWFISH

Sit, sit all of you.

Announcing “The Villain Saga”, Season 2 (Prologue)

Four years ago (😰) I announced a concept for a Poptropica TV series centered around the aftermath of Super Villain Island, styled as a multi-episode show that would continue the stories of some fan-favorite characters.

Thank you everyone who has stuck with this series and contributed your own stories to the blog, it’s been amazing seeing more creatives in this community. Let Season 2 of the cross-island adventure begin!
