CWD sometimes writes comic scripts. Here, have some.

So, I occasionally write stuff. It's what I do.

the first script was suppose to be a co-work with a random artist, but he had to back out. I'm too lazy to find a replacement. so i'll just post it.

if i write more scripts, i'll probably post them, too.

Sepia and Derpy Adventures

Comic 1: The Mailmare’s Plea

Panel 1: Depry Hooves, Ponyville mail carrier and muffin enthusiast, bursts through a door, dramatically.

DERPY: Doctor! You’ve got to help me! There’s a ferocious beast! You’ve got to help me!

Panel 2: change focus to Sepia Tock (same design as Doctor Whoof), who is nonchalantly reading a book (if room, title it ‘A Clockwork Apple’) behind a sales counter.

SEPIA: Once again, Ms. Hooves, even if I were that blasted Doctor, I’m not helping you do anything foul to Winona.

(if title was included)

SEPIA: (in smaller text) this book wasn’t what I was expecting at all.

Panel 3: Derpy approaches Sepia.

DERPY: But Doc-

SEPIA: (holds up a hoof) ah…

DERPY: Mr. Tock, you don’t understand! That villainous hound stole something most precious to me! She stole-

Panel 4: Dramatic view of Derpy.

DERPY: My watch!

Panel 5: Dramatic view of Sepia, holding hooves to his cheeks in shock.

SEPIA: Egads, that’s terrible! There is only one course of action!

Panel 6: Sepia goes back to being aloof, reading as he points off panel. Derpy looks disappointed.

SEPIA: Watches are over there, labeled with their prices.

Comic 2: The Mailmare’s Legend

Panel 1: Derpy looks desperate for help. Sepia rolls his eyes.

DERPY: Please help? It was a gift from my daughter!

SEPIA: Oh, alright…

Panel 2: At Sweet Apple Acres, Sepia and Derpy hide in a bush, spying on Winona, who is snuggled up with a watch.

DERPY: There’s the foul beast!

SEPIA: I’ve always wondered what Mail Mares and Dogs have against each other.

Panel 3: Cut to only Derpy and Sepia.

DERPY: According to legend, passed down between Mailcarriers across Equestria, it all began with the very first Mail Mare: Van Lipvig !

Panel 4: Derpy narrates. A pegasus (wearing a gold helmet with wings) bows before Princess Celestia.

DERPY (NARRATION): Princess Celestia desperately needed a parcel delivered to her sister in their castle in the Everfree Forest, and summoned the most cunning pegasus in the land to deliver it.

Panel 5: Van Lipvig enters the Everfree Forest.

DERPY(NARRATION):  Lipvig made her way swiftly to the forest, and fearlessly entered! For not even spookiness of the Everfree Forest can delay any Mail Mare!

Panel 6: Diamond Dogs jump out to face Lipvig, looking fierce.

DERPY(NARRATION):  Suddenly, Diamond Dogs, sensing the gems within the parcel, accosted her, doing their best to frighten off the brave first mail carrier!

DIAMOND DOGS: Give us the preciouses!

Comic 3: The Mailmare’s Ploy

Panel 1: Van Lipvig has an epiphany

DERPY(NARRATION):  However, Ol Van Lipvig was a clever pony, and she came up with a brilliant plan.

Panel 2(NARRATION):  Van Lipvig throws a ball off panel, the diamond dogs chase it.

DERPY: She executed her tactic, distracting the ferocious beasts!

VAN: Go get it!

Panel 3: Van Lipvig delivers a package to Luna, which are revealed to be the elements of harmony.

DERPY (NARRATION): Van Lipvig made her way to Luna’s castle, and delivered the very first package. The Princesses awarded her richly, which she used to found the Equestrian Postal Service!

Panel 4: Diamond dogs talk to other canines (including timberwolves and pet dogs).

DERPY: The Diamond Dogs, resenting the treachery of the Mail Mare, spread word amongst the canines of Equestria: Trust not the Mail Mare.

Panel 5: Focus on Derpy, happy to have finished her tale.

DERPY: And that’s why mail carriers and dogs cannot be friends!

Panel 6: Sepia enters, holding the watch.

Sepia: Sorry, I was getting your watch. Were you saying something?

Comic 4: The Mailmare’s Watch

Panel 1: At the clockshop Sepia looks at the watch, tools laid beside him. Derpy is facing away from him, front legs crossed.

SEPIA: Excuse me, Derpy, may I ask something.

DERPY: I’m not telling you about Lipvig again, if that’s what you want.

Panel 2: Sepia looks at Derpy, who is still grumpy.

SEPIA: No no, I’m just wandering why this has random words instead of numbers on its face.

DERPY: What random words?

Panel 3: Sepia shows watch face to camera. 6=muffin 7=mail 8=school 9=sleep 12=snack. (not sure on the rest)

SEPIA: For example, instead of a six, this watch claims it’s ‘Muffin’ o’clock.

Panel 4: Side view of Sepia and Derpy, in profile. Derpy looking pleased

DERPY: Silly Doctor! Dinky wrote those words so I’d always know what time it is!

SEPIA: I can’t argue with that, can I?
