A Reminder, this is only a Rough First Draft so there are few To Be Added bits here and there for stuff I planned to add in later. Changes to the script are likely to happen later down the line. Hope you enjoy my script. :) Chapter II Lara and Sam continue to stare at one another for a few moments before Lara looks away to try and process everything. Sam looks at her for a moment and then gives a slight laugh and shakes her head. Lara looks back at her but turns away when Sam starts to raise her head. Lara (Beat) So, you’re Eddington’s Associate, the one who’s a student of his husband. (Looks away as she speaks) So, his husband must be someone who’s learned how to use magic which is how you did all that back there, right? Sam looks at Lara and as she says all this Sam’s expression goes from surprise to mild annoyance. When Lara finishes, she looks back at Sam.

Hope you enjoy my script. :) A World Elsewhere It’s midday in London as we see Lara walking down an alleyway as the text reads, 2 months later. She’s wearing her leather jacket with a black T-Shirt underneath it and blue jeans. As she walks down the alley, we see that she’s lost in thought, not really noticing where she is and almost has a Thousand Yard Stare. However, after a moment, Lara looks around the alley she’s in, and looks somewhat surprised. She looks up at the apartment buildings and the camera cuts behind her and shows her and Sam’s old apart building from the comics and Rise of the Tomb Raider. We focus on Lara’s face as she continues to look at the building and then she looks around at the alley again. She’s clearly uncertain how she ended up here and turns to leave but

Tomb Raider: Scars of the Survivors Prologue
With a black screen we hear the low rumble of distant thunder. As second by second goes by the thunder becomes ever so slightly louder but still muffled. Soon the sound of rain is heard which also increases in volume as the storm draws ever closer but the sound of both the rain and thunder remain slightly muffled. The black screen then smash cuts to what appears to be an upward shot of a couple of large rock pillars as the sound of the rain increases VERY slightly when and arches as the camera moves forward at a pace of someone walking. We then hear the sound of someone breathing heavily as a hand smashes down into frame, breaking the surface of the water, (no jump scare noises or music, please!) as we see someone dragging themselves out of the water and onto a beach. As the camera moves up, we see the person dragging themselves onto the beach is Lara Croft who is clearly out of breath and exhausted given her heavily breathing. As the rain continues to pour down Lara collapses on

'Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house, Not a creature was stirring Except for one mouse. Mousey's cheese plate was out With care by the computer-y, In hopes that old Santy Claus Liked charcuterie. :cheese: But Mousey was awake Scrolling through odds and ends. They'd forgotten about gifts For some of their friends! One mouse-friend named Whiskers Felt especially rotten, For she had a December birthday That was routinely forgotten. But when Mousey checked their Notifications on DA that night, There came a Birthday Reminder, And they squeaked with delight! :eager: Whiskers' Birthday was right then, Right on Christmas Eve. And old Mousey knew Just what she'd receive. Last year's Christmas present Was to keep the halls decked. This year's would be a reminder Of DeviantArt Protect! Whiskers could upload To her heart's content Knowing if any Grinch swiped it :stare: An alert she'd be sent. For the birthday, A gift that would bring months of

Yep, been watching the trailer a lot today. And yes, that's mostly the scene where Lara is seen stroking the image of Sam in the photo of her and friends. Anyone who's been with me a while knows that I'm more then a little obsessed with Sam Nishimura from Tomb Raider. I find her to be a severally underrated character with a lot of depth and development in the series, arguably even more so then Lara who's character arc is stuck on a loop, at least as far as the games go. Helping matters is Lara and Sam's relationship which I see as the true heart and soul of this series. Oh sure the sequel games and the 2018 adaptation of A Survivor is Born tried to make it more about Lara and her father but for many, myself included, the relationship falls flat due to Richard Croft's limited screen time and development. In the base game of Rise of the Tomb Raider he has, no joke, about 4 minutes of screen time and while there are a ton of Audio logs from him that Lara listens to he doesn't reveal
Not gonna lie, kinda annoyed that one year after I announced my idea for a TR animated series Netflix did the same thing. I've no doubt it was just a coincidence but still, annoyed. Doesn't look bad though but the trailers for Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider looked good and those ended up being just lazy retreads of the first game so I'm not holding my breath. On a side note I always find it funny how people who dislike the first game keep claiming that the sequels had a better story when it's just the same story with minor alterations and often bad ones. I don't blamed the writers or anyone else on the development team as there was apparently a LOT of Executive Meddling from Crystal Dynamics for the sequels. I'm hoping with the CD now out of the picture that the show can do more but only time will tell. I am at least glad that they showed a picture of Sam in this trailer (which also showed Reyes, Roth and Jonah) which has Lara rubbing her hand against the image of Sam so
Last year I posted an article on things that I didn't enjoy in Horizon Forbidden West. It was mostly little things that just kinda added up that bugged me more than anything else with one exception which but we'll get to that later. However, I still greatly enjoyed the game and while I haven't played it all that much that is SOLELY due to me waiting for both the New Game + AND waiting for the game's expansion pack, Burning Shores. Burning Shores is a rather interesting as the more I learned about the game the the more curious I became. I had suspected that we would fight a Metal Devil, aka the Horus, at some point and that we would also get underwater mounts but I thought that these would be held off for the third game, not DLC before Horizon 3 was even announced. Hell some of the new abilities were ones I also thought we would get in a later game but apparently it was all included in the DLC as well. We got a new skill that allows us to do this cool grapple strike on a downed
