MATT: That would be the one that contains Ornna
and the Knot sisters.
TALIESIN: I’m going to go back there and do our
traditional (bird call)
MATT: Okay. There’s actually no response.
LAURA: (bird call)
MARISHA: I had Mona and Lena, but maybe it’s
Lolie.
TALIESIN: Yuli. It’s Mona and Yuli. I’m going to
try one of the other tents. Am I getting the sense
that any of them are in?
SAM: Look over here!
TALIESIN: Over here!
MATT: The other tent you get to and you make the
same sound? This would be the one that Desmond
usually is in, too. There’s a pause, and then you
hear a very faint (bird call).
TALIESIN: I’m going to very gently lift the back
of the tent up and not go in through the front.
And just–
MATT: Okay. You glance inside and you can see,
leaning up from a bedroll, Desmond who is
half-awake, and glances over and sees you. He’s
out of outfit, out of makeup, and he gives a nod.
TALIESIN: (whispering) Do you know what’s going
on? (switches to normal volume) Assume we’re
whispering, because this is bullshit.
MATT: Yeah.
TALIESIN: How is it? What’s happened?
MATT: “They’ve come around asking a few questions,
we’re trying to figure it out ourselves. Are you
"okay?”
TALIESIN: I could be worse.
MATT: “How’s Gustav? And Bosun?”
TALIESIN: They couldn’t be worse. And then Yasha
Yasha’d. I don’t know. Did Toya see anything? Did
she say anything?
MATT: “We’re still trying to figure this out
ourselves. Are you alone?”
TALIESIN: No, I’ve picked up a few scragglers.
They’re idiots, but they’re helping.
MATT: “Well bring them in.”
SAM: We come in.
MATT: You guys all enter the tent and you see
Desmond. Previously you saw him in this very
colorful outfit with the frilled neck piece and
the full facial makeup. Now you see a man in his
late 30s with a very scarred left side of his
face. It looks like it was shredded at one point
in his youth, that the makeup hid during the
performance. As soon as you enter, even upon
greeting him, he has a very sad presence to him.
Even though you’re all under the cover of night
and having this conspiratorial conversation, he
has this melancholy about him that permeates the
space inside the tent. He says, “So you’re all the
ones that helped earlier. Thank you. It would have
"been far worse if you hadn’t.”
LAURA: No problem.
TALIESIN: What do they think happened? What are
they asking?
