Adam And The Alchemist

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!
