I'm turning this crud script into a comic and I need advice on how I can make it better in categories. Is the romance between the characters too fast? What are other words for the word consciousness? Does it make sense? What am I missing? What genre is it? Romance? Here's the script. It's going to be a short story comic.
EVERYTHING+NOTHING
CHARACTERS:
NOTHING
NUÉMVELLA
EVERYTHING
CLYDE
TECHNOLOGY
Located in a pitch black dream. The only body appearing is Nuémvella’s.
NOTHING: Small child of the earth, do you wish to have no attention?
NUÉMVELLA: Laying down Yes, my parents’ attention bothers me. It’s not that much trouble, in all honesty. I have a really weak system and I tend to make a lot of noise when I’m sick. My mother and father care for me too much and because of them, I hope to do more things for myself. I just need a little break from it all. I hope for a body that doesn’t have a weakness and I want time for myself to learn.
NOTHING: So I see… Consider your wish granted.
NUÉMVELLA: Hold on, what’s in trade, Mademoiselle?
NOTHING: You’ll find out.
NUÉMVELLA (Who is now Nothing, narrates): And during that night, I slept and woke up in another body that never hungers or rots.
The screen turns black and white letters appear saying, “One month later…”.
The scene changes to a sandy and bare place on planet earth. A shapeshifter is in the scene. He is on his holograms that have a touch screen.
TECHNOLOGY: Planet, earth. Plane, N. A plane that can’t be sensed by the living. Current occupants, scanning… Two.
EVERYTHING: Excellent, including me, there should only be two. I should transfer to the other one. Presses a button on his hologram
TECHNOLOGY: Teleporting to Prisoner N.
EVERYTHING: Teleports to Nothing
The area changes to a bedroom.
TECHNOLOGY: Transferred.
EVERYTHING: Hello, I’m here to escort you out of this plane; Plane N, and you are Prisoner N, correct?
NOTHING: Are you… Raises their body from lying down Actually talking to me!? Gets up from sitting Usually people can’t sense me. Can I touch you? Touches Everything Oh, I can! S- sorry if you didn’t like that. By the way, you look strange. The outsides of white irises are blue and your pupils are shaped like the letter E.
EVERYTHING: You’re unfamiliar with me? That’s rather odd… Ah, you’re not prisoner N, then. You must be someone else. I was afraid that this might happen, yet I thought the possibilities were very low.
NOTHING: Possibilities?
EVERYTHING: You were a living human being, correct?
NOTHING: What do you mean by “were”? Wasn’t I always… Before?
EVERYTHING: Before you traded your consciousness. That brand new body of yours isn’t human and it isn’t yours.
NOTHING: I had a feeling. What about the rest of me?
EVERYTHING: Your very spirit and soul is now a void. I’m not quite sure how you manage to keep a glimmer in your eye and speak. Perhaps it’s due to your memories and how they contain a bit of soul and spirit here and there. How long have you been in that body?
NOTHING: One month. No one- no one can sense me and I can’t touch anything. My hands go right through. H- however, you’re the only being that I can touch… Interestingly enough, you’re also the only being that can sense me. Are you… Something special?
EVERYTHING: Indeed, I’m a being that exists on every plane and has many bodies that are considered shapeshifters. I’ve lost my original form due to excessive shapeshifting. I’ve been trying to find a new suitable form, but Lady Luck isn’t on my side. Tell me, did you lose track of your body?
NOTHING: Yes, on the second week.
EVERYTHING: Do you need me to help you find it? I could get it back for you.
NOTHING: Oh, umm… N- no. I think I like where I am… Thanks.
EVERYTHING: That’s a lie, why on earth did you say something like that? It’s been a month since you’ve possibly got any help.
NOTHING: L- look, I just want to be alone in my studies, okay? P- please, don’t follow me.
EVERYTHING: I have to because the figure you currently possess belongs to someone I love.
NOTHING: Someone you love?
EVERYTHING: Yes, she doesn’t have a very good personality, but she has won my attraction with her appearance.
NOTHING: Oh, you don’t really love her, then. You love her for her looks.
EVERYTHING: Hm, you could be correct, yet I absolutely hate her when she flirts. I’ll be grinning when you or I find the woman. I’m going to have to banish her, again and put a hold on her consciousness.
NOTHING: What did she do?
EVERYTHING: She erased one of my families to get to me.
NOTHING: By erased, d- do you mean killed off?
EVERYTHING: No, something much worse. She erased my family’s existence. From the point from before they were born to where they were dead and after because they spent too much time with me in her eyes.
NOTHING: Why?
EVERYTHING: She wanted to be with me and she wanted to be my whole life. She started out as a friend, then as m family, my mother and my father. After, she decided to step up and flirt with me as another being. I didn’t like it.
NOTHING: I’m confused… How could someone be all of those things?… By having multiple bodies like you?
EVERYTHING: That’s correct. She was able to be everything in my life by having several figures. Once again, I’m attracted to that body that you currently possess. Not her personality or actions.
NOTHING: I- if what you say is true about her being everyone, isn’t it dangerous for you to encounter her? What if she switched consciousness with me to try and find you because she wants to become you?
EVERYTHING: Changes form I doubt it, she wouldn’t want to become me. I have too many forms. If I were able to find one, then she would.
NOTHING: A- are you sure she wouldn’t become you just because of your eyes? They seem to stay the same as you change your form.
EVERYTHING: That’s because I find only my orbs suitable. They’re not my first ones, but they’ll do. Anyways, enough about me. Why exactly did you trade your consciousness? It’s valuable, you do realize that, hm?
NOTHING: I kind of wanted less attention. I wanted to have time off to think about how I could help my parents instead of them aiding me all the time, but to me… It feels like I’ve failed.
EVERYTHING: Why so?
NOTHING: Parts of me don’t want to say.
EVERYTHING: If you share, you’ll feel better.
NOTHING: I was excited to meet someone I could talk to. However, it put me down too see how one being could do so much compared to my little bit. I only thought this whole entire time and I couldn’t touch anything. I couldn’t help out.
EVERYTHING: You can help out now.
NOTHING: I… I can?
EVERYTHING: Yes, you can help me out. What was your body’s name?
NOTHING: Nuémvella.
EVERYTHING: Nuémvella? That’s quite a unique name. What did your body look like?
NOTHING: I had dyed pink and peach hair… My eyes were big and I used to wear pink coloured contacts. My form looks just like this one.
EVERYTHING: Intriguing, this must mean that she has chosen a body that looks like her’s. Is there anyone else inside this house?
NOTHING: Nuh-uh, it’s only me right now.
EVERYTHING: Wear this. It makes you exist on earth’s living plane and it also lets you sense things on Plane N. We have to find your body before the spirit and soul of your memories submit to your current voids. I’ll do a world scan for your body. Hm, before I do, I have a question. Do you still want to be called Nuémvella even though your body is Prisoner N’s?
NOTHING: Prisoner N is her name?
EVERYTHING: No, Nothing is her name. Prisoner N is only a simplistic nickname I gave her.
NOTHING: I like that name better. “Nothing”… It represents my emptiness.
EVERYTHING: You mean your current emptiness. You’ll soon change, nothing. You needn’t worry. Pats Nothing’s head Please, take my hand. Offers his hand to Nothing
NOTHING: Takes Everything’s hand
EVERYTHING: Presses the holographic screen button
TECHNOLOGY: Scanning world for Nuémvella… Found.
EVERYTHING: Touches the teleport button
TECHNOLOGY: Teleporting… Transfer complete.
Nothing and Everything are by a bus at a seemingly empty gas station. The gas station is beside a road with no automobiles on it.
EVERYTHING: That’s rather odd. It’s a bus heading to a performance called, “Clones of Consciousness”. It’s taking a pit stop. The people inside will probably be heading to the washroom, soon. Knocks on the bus door
NUÉMVELLA: Opens the bus door
EVERYTHING: Steps in Ah… Oh, gods. Looks around noticing that the passengers look like Nothing
NUÉMVELLA: Hello, there love. Gets up from her seat
EVERYTHING: Steps back and runs towards nothing Grab my palm!
NOTHING: Grabs it
NUÉMVELLA: You’re going? Don’t leave me!
EVERYTHING: Presses the teleport button
TECHNOLOGY: Transferring… Transferred.
Nothing and Everything appear to be beside a river, by a forest.
EVERYTHING: Shaking
NOTHING: You’re shaking… And blushing?
EVERYTHING: I’ve never been both this scared and thrilled my entire life.
NOTHING: W- What did you see?
EVERYTHING: People that look exactly like you and her.
NOTHING: How did it scare you?
EVERYTHING: Did you see the name of the performance they’re going to be participating in? It’s called “Clones of Consciousness,”do you know what that means?
NOTHING: No, not really…
EVERYTHING: Starts to type on his hologram It means that she’s going to put her consciousness into those people in front of a live audience. Those humans on the bus are method actresses and if they start to have self deceptions, their lives on this plane are over.
NOTHING: Oh, so Nuémvella is a being that can put in and trade consciousness with other creatures… Umm, and she also has the power to erase things from existence.
EVERYTHING: Clears his throat Precisely. She used to exist on all planes, but I captured her consciousness from other bodies. Before, I stored the bodies elsewhere, then I let her choose one to keep. She chose the nice looking one and I put her whole consciousness into that body and set it on a plane below your’s. I locked the plane, however, I didn’t lock her consciousness. Augh… I’m such a fool.
NOTHING: No, you’re not. You tried your best to keep something threatening away. So you’re okay. Heck, you’re even better than I am and I’m close to empty.
EVERYTHING: Is that how you feel now? If so, I could make you full.
NOTHING: By doing what exactly?
EVERYTHING: Folding my arms around you.
NOTHING: I’m sorry, b- but I can’t take your kind of parental love. I’ve had too much of that in the past.
EVERYTHING: Hm? I wasn’t offering parental love. I was offering a romanticized hug.
NOTHING: In other words, you’re trying to romance me?
EVERYTHING: Indeed, are you fine with me doing so?
NOTHING: I’m… Not sure. We’ve only just met and I don’t think I’m that attracted to your form.
EVERYTHING: I note that I can change my form with ease. How do you want me?
NOTHING: Well… I umm… I like guys with light flame like hair and thick eyelashes with big eyes.
EVERYTHING: No height preference? Checks the time
NOTHING: Around my height would be nice, but it’s up to you.
EVERYTHING: Changes form How’s this?
NOTHING: You’re u- uh… Muscles…
EVERYTHING: Do you think I’m too fit?
NOTHING: Maybe…
EVERYTHING: Changes his muscle tone Is it alright if I’m like this?
NOTHING: Yes, I think so… You look very stunning to me.
EVERYTHING: Thank you very much. Looks at the time You should help me with Nuémvella. Her bus is probably already on the roll. Offers his hand
NOTHING: She takes it
EVERYTHING: May I peck your hand?
NOTHING: Well, my parents don’t kiss there… I guess you could. Just don’t give me too many or else I’ll want some time off.
EVERYTHING: If you don’t want some time off, return with something of your own. Peck That is, if you want to. Touches the teleport button
TECHNOLOGY: Transferring… Transferred.
The two main characters transfer to the inside of the bus.
EVERYTHING: Nuémvella.
NUÉMVELLA: Oh, my! You’re here my dove! Let’s go of the wheel of the bus and trots over towards Everything
NOTHING: Whoa!
EVERYTHING: Gods, you’ve let go of the wheel! Please, do grab a hold of it!
NUÉMVELLA: Which wheel are we talking about here? Reaches for Everything’s private area
NOTHING: Pushes her hand away No, no, no. He doesn’t like that.
NUÉMVELLA: How do you know? Everything, stamps her foot down who the hell is this child? Someone, drive.
CLYDE: Takes the wheel
EVERYTHING: … She’s a woman and her name is Nothing.
NUÉMVELLA: You replaced me!?
EVERYTHING: More of you switched with her and she took over your body and else what and you took over her’s.
NUÉMVELLA: Tch, you know, I was planning to get all the girls that you were attracted to and put my consciousness into them. I’ve got a new plan now, though. It’s to put my consciousness right back into her! Tries to grab Nothing
EVERYTHING: Grabs Nuémvella’s hand I do apologize, but no matter how many times you try, I’m not going to love you because you have a load of sinister memories and you have experienced many criminal actions. When you move to another body, that body suffers along with its soul and spirit. Let’s go of her hand If you could do one pure action, it would be to not enter these women’s bodies and to switch back with Nothing here who used to be Nuémvella. Do you think you could do that?
NUÉMVELLA: Only if you kiss me.
EVERYTHING: Tsk, Nothing, do you want your body back? If you don’t get it back, your memories will submit to the voids inside of you and Nuémvella will eventually turn your old soul and spirit into new voids.
NOTHING: Everything, I can’t take my body back because there will be the chance that she’ll switch with you. She’s hazardous, remember?
EVERYTHING: Yes, I recall. Nuémvella, I won’t even go near your lips and I’m sorry to say, but you’re not getting your way either. Please, stop this bus and tell everyone the show is cancelled. Do it now or I’ll release your consciousness from this plane.
NUÉMVELLA: Whatever, I’m only going to stop this once because I love the blaze out of you. If you ever miss me, call for me.
EVERYTHING: I won’t miss you and I won’t ever call for you.
NUÉMVELLA: Dang, you are harsh. I’ll tell you that I can be, too! Some day, you’ll wake up in bed with me and you won’t know that it’s me because that current chick your with has a weak system.
EVERYTHING: Don’t believe what she says, Nothing. You have a brand new body, soul, and spirit and with my love, I could make you stronger than you really are.
NUÉMVELLA: Lucky child. Stop the bus.
CLYDE (Who his the lady driving): And cancel the show?
NUÉMVELLA: I only said yes to stopping the bus and why aren’t you weirded out by my conversation I just had? Why aren’t any of you weirded out?
CLYDE: ‘Cause weird conversations and weird situations Takes out a gun from his pocket are just our thing. Shoots her with the gun and blows, then morphs into a man, which is his original form
NOTHING: A shapeshifter?
EVERYONE, BUT NUÉMVELLA, EVERYTHING, AND NOTHING: Rises from their seat and morphs
NOTHING: They’re all shapeshifters. What happened to the girls?
CLYDE: They got on a bus that looked exactly like this bus.
NOTHING: But how?
CLYDE: When we came, we were on a shapeshifting bus and we came out of our bus just a bit after the girls from the other bus got off to use the washrooms. Upon us entering the gas station, we left three shapeshifters outside when Nuémvella wasn’t looking. The first shapeshifter shapeshifted into the outside of the building just in case if someone were to peak in. The second shapeshifter got into a room on the side to press the snooze button on the guy looking after the cameras. He edited his memories and turned off the sighters to edit the footage. The third shapeshifter went to check the front of the bus and put an item that helps objects change planes to Plane N on the back of the other bus. When the rest of us were inside the station, we put everyone to sleep, including the guy at the cash register and changed form. We fixed up their memories and had workers from other planes possess each of the people. After that, we put on contacts that were able to see beings on Plane N. We, the shapeshifters were the first to leave the area. When the bus was far away enough, the shapeshifting bus changed into the same bus, made the driver look like Nuémvella, and collected all the possessed women. Then, drove to take another route.
NOTHING: Why did you all need to wear the contacts?
CLYDE: When Nuémvella was about to put her consciousness into that body, Everything put an object on her when he grabbed her wrist that changed herself to only being able to exist on Plane N.
NOTHING: W- why isn’t there a dead body on the ground?
CLYDE: A special bullet that exists on this plane and Plane N was shot into the head of the body to release and suck in the consciousness, as well as take in the carcass with the soul and spirit. See, if you look closer, one out of four of the bullet is the consciousness and the rest of the bullet is the body, soul, and spirit. With this, you’ll be able to gain back all your original parts!
NOTHING: W- Whoa! That’s amazing! Everything, don’t you think it’s fantastic!? I’m so happy!
EVERYTHING: All I did was press an emergency button, select a wanted being, and read orders.
NOTHING: Thank you for doing that. Hugs him
EVERYTHING: You need not to thank me, but this hug is appreciated.
NOTHING: I- if that’s so, then I’m sure you’ll appreciate more from me in the future!
CLYDE: Taps Nothing’s shoulder There’s no easy way of putting this. So here’s the way I’ll put it, we’re going to need your soul, spirit, and body.
NOTHING: Ah, that’s right… Those aren’t mine, either. You shapeshifters are going to put my parts back together, correct?
CLYDE: Yes, that’s correct. By the way, they call me Clyde. I see that you’ve taken a liking to our fellow here. He’ll be yours, but you’ll have to make sure that he doesn’t change his form in front of others.
NOTHING: O- okay.
CLYDE: Now, your body should be done a day before the play Nuémvella wrote. Your parents have front row seats. Act like you wrote the script. Nothing, you’ll soon become Nuémvella, again. Here’s the 3/4ths of the bullet of Nuémvella and here’s the gun. Are you taking the bullet?
NOTHING: Takes them both Will it hurt?
CLYDE: No, your body is designed to feel no pain.
NOTHING: This form is tough, why can’t I keep it?
CLYDE: It needs to be purified for its past actions and forgiven by a being on a higher plane.
NOTHING: Oh, I understand. However, I’m a bit… Scared. Umm… Turns to Everything You know, you exist on all planes and because of you, I know that there’s a life before and after, so I shouldn’t be scared of using this, should I?
EVERYTHING: That weapon won’t end you. It’s not made to. If you don’t mind me asking, is it fine if I may be the one who puts you back together? I can assure you that I have put together many beings in the past without making the slightest mistake.
CLYDE: I remember him doing so, he’s highly skilled in that category. You can trust him.
NOTHING: Nods a yes
EVERYTHING: I promise to fill you, Nothing.
NOTHING: Giggles You’ve made me into something and I’m really proud of it.
EVERYTHING: What did I manage to turn you into?
NOTHING: Your girlfriend. Kisses him and fires the gun into her head
