Red Dead Online: ‘Further Pursuits: The Next Steps’ Treasure Vault Guard Loyalty Mission 2 – DerekA Chapter by YangyThe script for a proposed "Loyalty Mission" for a Treasure Vault Guard as a part of my "Further Pursuits: The Next Steps" concept for Red Dead Online.Open in
the Treasure Vault. The host player is inspecting some of their treasures when
they are approached by Derek Kyle. Derek: Howdy [Mister, Miss]. Now, I hope you
don’t find this to be cheeky or rude, but I have a favour to ask. The host
player looks surprised yet intrigued. Any other players crowd behind them. Derek: You see, I’ve been with a fine woman
for a while now. Helena. She really is somethin’ special, so I think it’s time
I got one one knee to propose to her. A player
smiles, and pats Derek on the shoulder approvingly. Derek: Thank you, but there’s this one
thing. I haven’t gotten her a ring and they’re so damned expensive these days. The
player(s) takes out a small stack of cash. Derek: Now, you put that away. I ain’t here
looking for charity, boss. I’ve got something else in mind. The
player(s) puts their money away. Derek: You see, due to the nature of our
job, I’ve been hearing rumours of a lost ring around a lost underground grotto
in Big Valley. Boss, I wouldn’t normally ask to keep one of these treasures,
but this girl, she’s somethin’ else. I’d really appreciate it? The host
player nods and agrees, and they set out for Big Valley. Gameplay resumes
here, the player(s) must search multiple areas and inspect different rocks on
the cliff face for the entrance to the cave leading to the grotto. Once
entering, a cutscene starts. Derek
takes a few steps forward, admiring the beauty of the area. Derek: Wow, isn’t this place ama- He steps
on a pressure plate, the host player quickly runs and tackles him to the
ground, saving him from a large spike. Derek: I appear to have been mistaken. This
place is a damn hellhole. Let’s get this ring. Gameplay
resumes. The player(s) must make their way through the grotto and avoid dangers
until they find the ring on a podium. It’s gold with a large ruby which appears
to be encased in a tree design, with ornate patterns all around. Upon picking
up the podium, the area around them begins to collapse. Derek: (Still in gameplay) Quick, boss! This place ain’t safe,
let’s go. The
player(s) must then run out of the area within the next minute and a half
before it collapses. They must also dodge falling boulders, collapsing trees
and other disasters caused by the area falling apart. Upon
reaching the exit, another cutscene triggers: Derek and
the player(s) dive out of the cave as it collapses behind them seconds later.
The host player helps Derek to his feet, who is out of breath. Derek: Damnation. That was close, I am so
sorry partner. The host
player gestures as if to say it’s okay and reveals the ring to Derek. He takes
it. Derek: My, it really is something. A perfect
ring for a perfect woman. I really appreciate this. It’ll be a few years before
we marry, but please, come with me to the proposal? The host
player nods, fade to black. Open on
Blackwater cinema. Derek and Helen are leaving the building. They head over to
the Blackwater bar where the player(s) is sitting at one of the tables with a
few drinks and a meal. Derek and
Helen enter, Derek pulls open a seat for Helen who sits down. Derek heads to
the bar to order their food. Helen is seen touching up her hair and adjusting
her clothes as if she knows what is about to happen. Derek is also seen fixing
himself. He comes back over, standing next to her. Derek: My dearest, this past year has been.
Well, it’s been real special to me. So much I almost got myself killed getting
this. He gets
on one knee. Derek: But I’d nearly die for you every day of the week if it meant making you happy. He takes
the ring from his pocket, and holds it up to her. She takes it. Derek: So, I guess what I’m trying to say
is, will y- Helen: Yes! Derek: - Marry me? Helen: Yes, a million times yes, ya damn
fool! They
stand up and hug. Everyone in the bar claps, including the players. Derek gives
the player a quick thumbs up behind Helen’s back. Fade to
black. © 2021 Yangy |
