Fountellion in THE SPIRAL: Greenwise & the Nature of the Game

TRAILER REACTION: 'The Nature of the Game Fountellion'

Boy: "Wonders... " {His eyes open] "But... [brow furrows] ...it's... changed..."

[He puts his cup down again as his hand is shaking a little.]

A different voice. A black female: "You might find it's... wilder than before. More... overgrown. And... harder."

ADVANCED TEXT (?): It was the Ultimate game..

Boy: "How come?"

[Scene: sitting at a crowded event following a virtual games competition.]

Firecube 'Agent' – Syla Rooker: "Well, it's been abandoned, but left... persistent. So now... it's evolved..."

ADVANCED TEXT: A Game... That Engrossed a World....

Boy: "I was given... this key..."

[Scene: A piece of ordinary, creased paper with a detailed drawing of a key on it. It has an eight and a fork rune in the middle. The boy scans it into an interesting machine.]

[Scene: He's now holding it in his hand in the virtual. It looks worn and heavy and old. A garden key. The boy now wears a cloak and a satchel. So it has become a virtual key...]

Girl: "How did they find you?"

[Scene: A different game. Fighting an impressive dragon with other players. Boy wins, but also gets kicked over having saved a team-mate. He lands on the ground as the beast dies and applause starts. The players assemble before collecting their prize. He's out of breath. But there's someone watching in the arcade. Syla Rooker. In a black-clothed avatar. She steps forward and helps him up.]

Rooker: "High score?

Boy: "Not my best actually."

Rooker: "We know. But we've got a new game for you.."

Boy: "New?"

Rooker: "Well.. it's not new.... you've played it before..."

"It's the fabric.. it needs to be cured... of something... invasive..."

[Boy is accepting some award and crowds are cheering.]

Boy: "Ok, what's invaded..."

Rooker: "Us." [Boy watches cheering crowd which begins to slow...]

[Boy reaches to jack out and rip the interface away. The game dissolves. But it's now the face of the Girl gamer.]

Girl [taking off an advanced Spiral interface as boy sits in background]: "I see what you mean... (out of breath)... It's like it's stuck... in Hard Survival Mode."

The girl's voice: "The Spiral... it's getting out of control... people are dying..."

[Scene: we see image of someone jumping off a building in slow motion.]

Boy: "I know... I've seen... things... myself..."

[Scene: a scene of hell inside Bedlam4]

[Scene: Firecube meeting of agents] "So... the time has come. Agreed?"

Rooker: "Agreed."

Boy: "Fountellion... They want me to complete it again."

Girl: "Why?"

Boy: "I don't know. To fix it or something. It has to be completed."

Girl: "Who were they? These guys..."

Boy: "Firecube..."

Girl: "The Firecube? What the Fuck?"

Boy: "But... not just me... so...are you coming?"
