Stuck in an Elevator
(Short scene in screenplay format, can be read within 5-10 minutes)

Kim Kitsuragi, Arthur Morgan, and Jinx are looking for the same man—they just don’t know it yet. All they know is he was last seen in the Undercity of Zaun. The three of them arrive at the elevator to the Undercity at the same time.

I wrote this short scene as an exercise for my Game Writing Masterclass. The task was to write a short script that involved 3 of my favorite video game characters getting stuck in an elevator together. I chose to pit poor Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium with Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 and Jinx from League of Legends. In order to give the narrative some grounding and some stakes, I chose to put them all in the Runeterra (League of Legends, also Netflix’s Arcane) universe, and gave each of them a “want” that would bring them together while still feeling true to their original character.

This script was a lot of fun to write. I love these characters and really enjoyed capturing their voices. I’ve embedded a PDF below to maintain the screenplay format, or you can access it directly here. It’s seven pages total (six if you don’t count the character bios) and can be read within 5-10 minutes.
