PART ONE
EXT. A LAMASERY, 60 MILES WEST OF CHAMDO, TIBET
Oz and Jordy approach the large wooden doors that
mark the entrance to the Lamasery hidden in the
mountains.
JORDY
So this is the place?
OZ
Yeah.
Jordy looks back from where they came. It looks
like they have climbed approximately 2000 steps.
JORDY
These monks sure like their stairs.
OZ
Well... no stairmaster up here so so...
stairs.
Oz lifts the large knocker on the door and raps
several times.
JORDY
I'm not going to have to... shave my
head or be forced to drink kool-aid or
anything?
OZ
Do you want to shave your head?
JORDY
No.
OZ
What's wrong with kool-aid?
JORDY
I'm fine with it as long as it isn't
poisoned.
OZ
They just serve the no-sugar added
version.
JORDY
Probably just as bad.
The door opens and an elderly Monk dressed in
colorful robes opens the door. He smiles in
recognition and bows politely.
MONK
Ahhh... Mr. Osborne. Welcome back.
OZ
Thank you Upajjha. Is *he* here?
MONK
Indeed. Please follow me.
OZ
(to Jordy)
Okay... now this guy... he's a
little... different.
JORDY
Everyone I know is different.
OZ
Yeah. Well. Just don't make fun of his
shirt.
The monk chuckles.
OZ
He is still wearing that shirt, right?
The monk rolls his eyes and nods.
JORDY
What exactly is this place?
OZ
It's the Lamasery for the Order of
Dagon. A displaced Czechoslovakian sect dedicated
to the protection of mankind from
supernatural forces.
JORDY
Kind of like the Watcher's council.
OZ
Yeah, but less British and more ritual
chanting in the mornings and evenings.
MONK
We also offer Yoga in the afternoon.
The monk stops and indicates the door to go
through. Oz takes a deep breath.
OZ
Okay...
INT. CHAMBER
Oz and Jordy enter the room. It's a simple room. A
cot sits against the wall covered with piles of
books. A table sits against a single slitted
window with more books and a glowing red sphere. A
man sits at the table reviewing an old tome. He
wears a frilly silk shirt and khaki trousers.
His name is Logan Kilpatrick, better known as
Loki.
Author's Note:
You may be familiar with Loki from Redmoon's kick-ass stories:
Walking in Fear
and
Man with a Thousand Faces
Yes... this is a crossover and Redmoon has kindly given me permission to use his character and has generously provided some story ideas.
Thanks Red!
LOKI
Oz! So good to see you again. What
brings you to our neck of the woods?
Oz bows in respect.
OZ
Master Loki. I bring another pupil for
you to teach in the kaya of
transformation.
Loki gives Jordy the once-over.
LOKI
This the kid who bit you?
Jordy rolls his eyes.
JORDY
Man, you bite one person...
OZ
My cousin Jordy. I've taught him what
you've taught me, but he's having
difficulties.
Loki gives Jordy the hairy eyeball.
LOKI
Really.
Jordy giggles.
JORDY
(to Loki)
Nice shirt.
Loki smirks.
JORDY
If you're looking for an eye patch to
complete the pirate look, I know where I
can get one for you.
OZ
(warning)
Jordy...
LOKI
It's all right Oz. He can make all the
jokes he wants.
Jordy smirks at Oz.
LOKI
He won't be laughing the next time he
killed someone because he didn't listen
to me.
Jordy looks down at the ground.
JORDY
How long am I going to be here?
Loki shoots a glare at Jordy
LOKI
Why? You got somewhere else to be? Make
no mistake kid, this isn't summer camp.
There's no canoe trips, no tying of
lanyards and the talent show's been
canceled. You want to control the beast
inside? You got to do what I tell you.
No questions. We clear?
Jordy nods. Loki smiles
LOKI
Good.
Loki reaches over and pulls out a set of monk's
robes and a bucket with a brush.
LOKI
Put on the pajamas. Upajjha will take
you to the main hall where the floor
needs to be scrubbed. And when you
finish that, we'll need to shave your
head.
Jordy eyes bug out. Loki laughs heartily.
LOKI
I was just screwin' with you on that
last one.
Loki gets up and heads toward the door.
LOKI
Welcome to your new home kid. It's not
much... but it'll do the trick.
(giggles)
"Shave your head." Ha! You should've
seen the look on your face.
Loki exits the room laughing. Jordy shoots Oz a
dark look.
JORDY
He really likes to mess with your mind,
doesn't he?
Oz looks at his cousin and pats his shoulder
sympathetically and without a touch of concern.
OZ
Trust me. He hasn't even gotten started
yet.
Jordy looks down at the bucket.
JORDY
Scrub the floors?
OZ
Dude. You've totally been Miyagi'd.
Jordy and Oz head out of the room together.
JORDY
Did they used to have a talent show?
OZ
Yeah, but when half the monks around
here have taken a vow of silence,
there's only so many mime acts you can
take.
END PART ONE
Yet Another Author's Note:
This and the following segments of Obedience School will not follow the four part episode format and will be scattered in between episodes. Or whenever I feel like it. Hope you enjoy it!
