On Camera
Iphigenia Medrapedes is seen sitting in what van only be described as a daycare center, various pictures adorne the colorful walls, the carpet resembles puzzle pieces, and a group of small children sit in front of Iphy. She sits patiently, a big smile on her face, as she looks put over the sea of kids.
Iphy: Hiya kids!
The children answer back a hello of their own, mostly in unison, though there were a few who were out of sync with the others.
Iphy: Boy, I sure hope you are all ready for a story. Because today, I'm telling the tale of Marks the Maleficent.
A chorus of ooos echo through the room, as the kids look on wide eyed, and alert.
Iphy: Once upon a time, there was an evil knight named Marks, he was so evil in fact, the towns people took to calling him Maleficent. Everyone he met, he'd greet with only the most nasty of remarks. Even those who only wished to be his friend. For you see kids, Marks, had no time for friendship. Well, one day, a brave, and noble woman named Iphy came into the land. She greeted Marks, as she did everyone, with a warm hello, and a beaming smile. Marks the Maleficent was, as always, crude in his greeting. He even went as far as to use a forbidden word.
Iphy puts her hand over her mouth, and shakes her head as of she were surprised by this. The kids eat it up, and begin to boo the stories namesake.
Iphy: But, Iphy was not deterred. Shed come across such attitudes in the past. She was determined to show Marks the error of his ways. So, with a smile on her face, and a song in her heart she strolled back to her humble abode. She planned meticulously, a way to get through to Marks. She baked him a cake, no smile. She sang to him, no smile. She even wrote him a friendly letter, and yet no smile would come to this most foul man. Just when Iphy had all but given up hope, she heard of a bout in the land of Genesis, located on the Coast of West. Our brave heroine challenged Marks the Maleficent to combat there, this finally got a smile. He was so sure of himself, so sure of his victory, that he accepted this challenge without hesitation. In the days leading up to the fight, Iphy trained, and prepared. But what of Marks the Maleficent, you may ask. The Maleficent Knight didn't prepare, he knew he'd have his day in the sun, so he feasted, drank fine wines, and acquainted himself with various ladies of the night.
The little ones jeer marks, having heard about his illicit activities. Iphy nods in agreement, before jumping back into her tale.
Iphy: The big day had finally come, and Marks the Maleficent arrives at Genesis. His armor stained from previous encounters, and his belly filled with wine and rich chocolates. When Iphy arrives, she's met with skepticism. That is, until the bout began, Marks does his best to swiftly vanquish her, but she was determined to walk away victorious. Just when it looked like this story would have a sad, and unfortunate ending for brave Iphy, she mustered up the courage to land a blow. Some would say it was luck, others would argue it was skill. But, no matter what you say, it floored Marks the Maleficent. Not having been ready, he was unable to stand. And our brave heroine was determined the winner. The end. Now kids, this is a cautionary tale. The moral being this, nothing beats hard work and preparation. it doesn't matter how good you are, how much experience you have, or anything like that. If you go into something, thinking you've already won it, you are more than likely going to fail. But, if you put the work in, and try really really hard? Well, you still might fail, but at least you'll be able to hold your head up high in the end.
The children begin to clap excitedly, which in turn gets Iphy excited, causing her to do the same in kind. As the scene fades the children can be seen standing, and giving Iphy a hug as a group.
