Just a disclaimer, this is an edited version of the script, as I removed/edited some things to keep you guys theorising or to clarify some things.
Anyways, let's go!
May's Journey Sector 1 Story (FAR FROM COMPLETE (like seriousely, there will be 10 Acts))
ACT 1:
YEAR IS 1988
(Just to be clear, there's like 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay before the shit below. There just isn't really any lore, it's really just there to get you attached to the characters.)
The story/lore begins in a bedroom. There's a sleeping girl who is 7 years old. Her name is May.
Out of nowhere, in the distance... there is the sound of a window shattering. It awakens May from her sleep & scares her, so she goes to hide under her bed.
From the other room, there are harsh screams of May's Parents, followed by Footsteps.
About a minute (In-Game (about 4-6 seconds irl)) later, the front door can be heard opening.
After building up strength, May crawls out from under her bed & goes to her parents room.
When she opens the door... she see's them... dead... slaughtered on the floor.
She tries her best to suppress the urge to vomit, but her body takes over & she falls to her knees & almost blacks out. From out the window, through her peripherals, she swears she can see something... something that looks like an Orb, but she can't really tell due to what is literally being explained right now.
Before she knows it... she passes out from pure shock.
The next day... May wakes up on the floor, yet, the bodies of her parents are for some reason no where to be seen, as if they weren't even there. Having no other option, May goes to her friend, Dakota's house.
She knocks on the door & Dakota answer's. Seeing May disheveled & covered in dry blood, they instantly take a step back.
"What the fuck happened!?" Dakota shouts, looking at May's face, which has dried tears & blood on it along with a general look of someone who has been through a lot & needs a break.
"May, a-... are you... okay!?" they exclaim as May just wraps her arms around them.
"D-Don't worry... you'll be safe with me... I promise."
Hearing the commotion, Dakota's Parents come down the stairs & see May.
"Oh my god!" Dakota's Mom exclaims as she rushes over to May.
"What happened!?!?" she says not expecting May to answer.
Her Dad, rushes over to the landline phone & calls the Police as fast as he can.
"Um, yes, my Child's friend just came over to our house, & she seems like... she needs some help. She's covered in Dried Blood, & her shirt has some Vomit on it. Clearly something has happened. Her address is (Says Address), & my address is (Says Address). Yes, please come over as fast as you can.
"Let's go get you cleaned up. You can wear some of my old clothes for the time being." Dakota says to May.
The Police show up at Dakota's House a few days later, it's clear they're confused about the situation.
"So we investigated the whole property, several times in fact, but... we didn't find anything but some dried blood in the parents room along with some shattered glass from the window. No bodies were found, & the blood... it had no DNA somehow." the Chief Officer says to the parents
"What? No bodies? No DNA? How is this possible?" Dakota's Dad asks to the Officers.
"We're not sure, we'll keep investigating & keep you updated."
(Some non-lore important stuff happens)
(But then... Some lore important stuff happens!)'
One day, May was leaving her School, she usually has Bullying Issues, yet, today was especially bad. When she was leaving the School, her bullies cornered her.
"Where do you think you're going." One says to her, not knowing the Trauma she just went through.
"Answer me when I'm talking to you!" They tightly grab her by the arm, she's shaking.
"Oh boo-hoo, little missy here is sc-sc-sc-scared." They say sensing her distress.
"Let's go teach her a lesson!"
They drag her to a Circuit Breaker. They then laugh & shove her into it, but one of the buttons had malfunctioned from the intense & sudden pressure causing it to shock her.
"...Guys... we should go..." One says, they scramble out of the school.
(Idk how to write this into the story, I'll just have it all explained in the game)
Several hours after May passes out... she wakes up.
"...what... what happened..." She says as she tries to get up, but she falls down immediately.
"ugh..."
Dakota & their parents, after not seeing May for hours, they go out looking for her.
When they walk into the School, they see her lying on the floor not moving.
"Oh my god!" Dakota says as they rush over to her.
"May! May! May please! Please wake up! Please! ...May... We have to call an ambulance."
Dakota's parents quickly look for a phone. When they do, they instantly call 911
"Hello? We just found our child's friend passed out in her school, she isn't waking up. Please come as quick as you can!"
While they wait for an ambulance to come, they try their best to wake up May.
"May... Hey dummy... please wake up... please... I can't loose you... If you're gone, I'll... please..."
Eventually, an ambulance does come, & they bring in May.
LATER AT THE HOSPITAL
"Well, there is a high electricity amount in her body... but... it isn't harming her. In fact, her body is actively adapting to it. We're not sure if we need to do anything, but we recommend keeping her in check. We're going to allow her to go home with you, but you should keep her under near constant check. Not saying she won't get privacy. Just check on her every I'd say 40-50 minutes." The Doctor says to Dakota's parents while Dakota is in the waiting room as they're too young to go see her.
"Ok, we promise to take good care of her." Dakota's mother says to the Doctor.
They roll her out in a wheel chair. She's fast asleep, although, it's highly unlikely she's dreaming.
(A few months in the future)
At this point, May had made a full recovery, but... then something happens.
"...May... I... really don't want to do this... but... I'm going to leave. & I don't know if I'll ever come back. But I promise... I promise I'll never forget about you." Dakota says to May at the dead of night.
"What? You can't... you can't leave!" She replies
"I'm sorry" Dakota hugs May tightly. "I have to. I have no choice.
Dakota pack her bag with some stuff. A Notebook, a Pencil, a Sketch Pad, some clothes, some Snacks, a Knife... & the gift May gave to them a few years ago... a Heart Locket. They put it on & sling their bag over their shoulder before turning back to May.
"I'll miss you..." They jump out the window.
"No! Dakota! You can't go! You can't go. You can't. You can't... You... can't..." May says as she starts crying.
She then jumps out the window to go try & look for her.
It's pouring outside, she starts searching around.
"DAKOTA! DAKOTAAA! PLEASE!... Please..." she goes into an alley for shelter & curls up on the floor, crying, just hoping for Dakota to return.
"Dakota..."
She decides to turn back & go home.
The next day.
May decides to go out looking.
While she's out she has another encounter with her bullies.
"Well well well... look who it is." The leader says.
"Maybe... we should just leave her alone... I heard she had to go to the hospital." One of the members say.
"Are you stupid!? Like hell we're doing that!" The leader replies, then turns back to May.
"You're not going to get away from me." They take a step towards May. May backs up a bit.
"Why are you backing up!? You scared of me?" They take another step towards her, & May takes another step back.
"You scared I'm gonna hurt you!?" They take yet another step towards her, & May takes yet another step back.
"Hey!" They lunge at her & grab her shoulders.
"Respond when I'm talking to you!"
They engage in a battle.
I'm not gonna describe the battle because no. But it ends like this.
You choose the SPELLS option in the menu & pick "Electro-shock".
May involuntarily shoots her hands out towards the leader.
"What are you gonna do, curse me?" the Leader says.
Just then, electricity shoots out of her hands towards the leader. They get electrocuted, it's barely painful, but it makes them back up.
"Wh-What the fuck!?" The Leader says as they quickly run away.
Stunned by what has happened, May tries to figure out how to do it again.
"What was that? H-how did I... do that?" May says to herself.
"I can't... I can't do it again."
Suddenly her arms feel tired & weak.
"...I'm... going... home..."
ACT 2:
TIME SKIP 9 YEARS LATER
IT IS NOW FEBURARY 1997
May is now 15. An edgy, agile, try-to-be-as-utterly-KOOL-as-possible, teenager. One day she decide that she is old enough to go out by herself. She grabs her bag & puts some stuff in it. Some Clothes, a Portable CD Player, some CD's of course (some may or may not be illegally burned). some Snacks, a Sketchpad, some Pencils (Colored & not), a Pocket Knife, & the other heart locket.
She decides to write a note for Dakota's parents who are basically her parents at this point. The note says "I am sorry, I have decided I have to leave, I wish you a wonderful life, love you.".
May then jumps out the window.
In recent, the Busy Little Town that May lives in has been consumed by some kind of Darkness. People have been more aggressive & greedy. Stuff disappearing, that sorta thing. With this knowledge, she proceeds with caution (or not depends on how you play ig).
As she leaves the neighborhood she decides to go to the portside of the island/country she lives on as Dakota's house was near it.
When she arrives, she notices something. The water is completely still. Normally there are always at least some waves, it's been that way for as long as she can remember. But she thinks nothing about it & goes on with her day. While she's looking around, she encounters some 'familiar faces'. Her bullies, now known as those damn teenagers, more commonly known as the Killa Whales.
"Well well well, lookie what we have here. Been a bit hasn't it." The leader says to May.
"Goddammit why do I always have to interact with the weird people..." May says to herself.
"That's bold coming from you, Pipsqueak! Now listen, you're on our Turf, so either you leave, or well... let's just say... thing's will have to get a bit aggressive." The leader responds.
"Turf? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You don't own Shit!" May says laughing about the situation.
The leader, now mad that May was laughing at them, walks towards May.
"Listen, I know you don't mean that shit. You wouldn't dare challenge me. You know you'd loose."
"Yeah sure buddy, you & your fuckass crew of dipshits are gonna do a lot to me, arnt'cha." She replies & laughs again.
Now offended, the leader engages May in a battle. I'm not gonna describe what the battle is like because that's kinda lame so just re-read the last battle as it's almost the exact same, just this time May uses her Electric Powers on purpose since she's learned how to in the past 9 years.
"Shit, we gotta get the fuck outta here!!!" The leader says as they run away.
"That was easy... why are people afraid of them?" She says before continuing to walk around.
While looking around, she discovers something, a staircase she doesn't recognize.
"Huh... I don't remember that being there... Wait! That's the staircase that used to always be blocked off! Why isn't it blocked? I might as well go down." She says before descending the staircase.
As she opens the door, she's met with pure darkness.
"Damn, it's pitch black in here." she says.
She'll have to go back & find a flashlight before she can enter.
(So basically you go buy a flashlight that's it)
May comes back over to the staircase now with the flashlight. She walks down into it.
When she turns the flashlight on, she see's an abandoned subway.
"This is kind of creepy..." she says. Yet, she continues forwards anyways.
There's a strange yet faint humming sound coming from somewhere in the subway station.
When exploring the subway, she finds an old computer. But when she turns it on, nothing happens. She looks down at the keyboard, it looks like a normal QWERTY Keyboard, but on the righthand side, there is an engraved logo, a slot of a keycard, & a slot for a large right triangle looking thingy.
She reacts with "Um... what the hell am I even looking at?".
She tries typing something on the Keyboard, specifically "On". But nothing happens.
She then tries a cool thing she learned how to do, she types in Hexadecimal, specifically "4f 6e". & as she expected, nothing happened.
She decides to leave the subway station.
When she makes it back up to the surface, it's strangely silent, but she decides to think nothing of it though.
She sees an island off in the distance that she's never been to before & decides to go check it out.
When she goes to the local boat shop, it says it's closed with a sign that reads "Not so sorry, but we're closed. We hope you were inconvinienced by this. Fuck you.".
But then suddenly, a loud crash is heard in the distance. May shrieks & jumps, but descides to go check it out.
So blah blah blah you go check it out or whatever I'm not describing the way there.
When you get there, you see a large crater with a meteorite inside. In that crater, there is a whole leading into an underground cave. A large croud is gathered around the crater, with police preventing people from going inside.
They say that when they remove the meteorite tomorrow, they will block off the cave & start to fill in the crater.
So basically this hints you to go to the hotel & sleep.
May wakes up in the middle of the night & goes to the crater, there is no one there. She decides to go into the cave.
It's pitch black on the inside as the moon is at the center of the sky. She turns on the flashlight & ventures fourth into the cave.
The entrance is just a simple natural ramp into the cave, which quickly turns into a deep cavern. Stalagtites, showing themselves from the ceiling, dripping water from the tips of them. & Stalagmites piercing up from the underground lakes.
She goes deeper into the cave.
The cave is filled with random objects & items for gameplay reasons, there is no lore reason for them to be there.
She enters an area with an unusual amount of cobwebs... unusually large cobwebs. Cobwebs that only a Giant Spider could make... when suddenly, a Giant Spider shows himself.
He seems frienly enough, but the thing is, May is arachnophobic.
So then they fight or something, the spiders name is Mister Spider btw. He has Humanaphobia (the fear of humans). He is a very nice creature & means no harm, he's just scared & defends himself.
During the battle, May & Mister Spider gradually get less scared, overcoming their phobias by the end. When the battle is over, Mister Spider lets May have one of his treasures as a thank you for her helping him overcome his Humanaphobia.
The gift in question just so happens to be the keys to the boat shop.
By the time she's out, it's already moonset. & the sun is slowly rising from the horizon.
She heads to the boat shop & unlocks it. She "steals" a boat but leave 3 pennies, a nickle, & 2 quarters.
She then takes the boat out to sea, where she heads to the island.
When she arrives, the island is empty, with quite literally nothing on it, just as she expected. But then suddely, something stars rising from the ocean.
THE KRAKEN APPEARS
It instantly locks it's eyes on May clearly sensing something from her. It lets out a fierce roar & engages in battle.
I'm not going to describe battles because that's boring, but trust me, the battle is awesome.
When the battle ends, the Kraken twitches, suddenly, a Yellow Triangular Shape shoots out from it's mouth.
It floats towards May, wind shooting out from it with the sky turning dark with clouds, & light rain starts coming from the sky.
May touches it, & an awesome animation plays that I can't describe.
She realises that it's the same shape that would fit into the computer slot.
She sails back to the port & goes down into the Subway Station where she goes to the computer.
She puts the Shape into the slot. The computer screen flashes white for a few secconds, but then it turns off & nothing happens after that.
She goes back to the island & looks in the distance, there's a continant that she kind of wants to go to, so she sails to it.
ACT 3:
To be continued...
