Adam And The Alchemist
Updated: Feb 23
This is the original mini-audio drama that inspired this whole thing! Take a listen, and see how things have changed :D
Here's the script so you can compare it to the finished product!
The scene opens with Balthazar and Adam walking into the lab.
ADAM:
Woahhhhhh, what is this place?
BALTHAZAR:
This is my laboratory. I’m currently working on trying to find- ah ah! Don’t touch that!
*There is a puff of smoke*
ADAM:
*Cough* What the heck-
BALTHAZAR:
I knew bringing you in here was a bad idea.
ADAM:
What? No! I’m sorry, I won’t touch anything else.
BALTHAZAR:
Very well. Now, if you would please let me get back to work.,.
ADAM:
Right, sorry. *pause* What are you working on?
BALTHAZAR:
That is none of your business.
ADAM:
But who knows when I’m going to be able to get back home! You might as well tell me.
BALTHAZAR:
*sigh* If you must know, I’m trying to find a way to get the Empress off my tail.
ADAM:
The Empress? Why? What’d you do?
BALTHAZAR:
Ah, ehm, that-that’s irrelevant. The point is that she and I aren’t exactly on the friendliest of terms.
ADAM:
…that’s why you made the dimension jumping potion, but it backfired, and pulled me here instead! I knew it!
BALTHAZAR:
Actually no, I don’t have a clue how you got here.
ADAM:
Oh.
BALTHAZAR:
But you’re right, I am working on an interdimensional transportation mechanism. Unfortunately, the knowledge has been lost to the ages so I’m kind of left to fend for myself.
ADAM:
Hmmm… Hey, I have an idea!
BALTHAZAR:
Hmm?
ADAM:
You need to discover ancient knowledge, and I need to get back home. Maybe if I help you we can find it faster!
BALTHAZAR:
Well… I suppose I could find a use for you.
ADAM:
YES! Maybe I’ll even learn some magic along the way?
BALTHAZAR:
Don’t get ahead of yourself boy; alchemy is a serious business!
*There is a banging on the door downstairs*
BALTHAZAR:
Quick, hide! It might be the empress’s guard!
