Hello everyone. I just found this site yesterday while looking through Brandon's blogs for WoT info when I saw his suggestion for a dialogue only writing exercise. I sat down and wrote one, hope you enjoy and tell me what you think.

Title: Dialogue Writing Exercise (couldn't think of anything, thats what the doc is
)
(There was a bit of profanity in there that I had to edit out after reading the terms while registering, changed some of the back and forth a bit
)
“What are you doing?”
“Huh?”
“What…are…you…doing?”
“Oh… Nothing.”
“I can see you’re not doing nothing.”
“I’m not doing anything. Leave me alone.”
“Wha’cha got there?”
“What? Nothing, go away Mike.”
“Let me…”
“Hey! Give that back!”
“What the…”
“Stop it! Give me that!”
“Shut up. What kind’a…”
“Give it back! You can’t even use it!”
“Oh really? I’ve used power stones before. I’m not an idiot.”
“Just give…”
“Oh shut up… Hey. Where’d you go? Jack, what’s goin’ on?”
“Shhh! He’ll hear you.”
“What? Who are you, man!”
“Shhh! You gotta be quiet. He’ll hear you!”
“What…”
“I said be quiet!”
“Hey! Get off’a me!”
“Shut up!”
“Get…off…of…me!”
“Son of a…”
“What’s goin on! Where’re you going! Hey!”
“HAHAHA! ANOTHER TOY! HOW WONDERFUL!”
“What… Oh my god! What is that!”
“IT’S TIME TO PLAY TOY.”
“Jack! Jack, where the hell did you send me! Jack!”
“HOHOHO. COME HERE TOY. I WANT TO PLAY.”
“Oh god! Get away from me!”
“THERE IS NO GOD HERE TOY. COME BACK. IT IS TIME TO PLAY!”
“Help! Somebody hel…uhg.”
“Shhh!”
“WHERE DID YOU GO TOY? I WANT TO PLAY! TOOOOOOY!”
“Wha…”
“Shhh! He can’t really see good, but he’s got damn good ears. You have to be quiet.”
“What was that?”
“We have to go.”
“Hey, what was that thing?”
“You don’t know? You translocated yourself here without knowing which Daemon is around? Moron…”
“I what? What are you talking about? I didn’t transl…whatever myself here!”
“Right… You just randomly popped into the Underworld. On accident.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t… That son of a…! Jack! I’m going to kill you!”
“Shhh! Are you that stupid!”
“That little punk, when I get my hands on him…”
“For the love of… Just shut up! We’re almost out of his domain. He won’t be able to come after us.”
“TOY! WHERE ARE YOU, TOY! I’M HUNGRY! TOY!”
“You moron! I almost had it! There was a perfect deposit right there. Then poof, you fall right in front of me and stir him up! What were you thinking?”
“Hey! Stop hitting me! I don’t know what you’re talking about man!”
“Arrrrr! Now I have to wait ‘til he settles down again. Great! Do you know how long it took me sneaking around to find that Pyroglia deposit. Fffff! He’ll be looking for you for days.”
“Where are we?”
“I’m suppose to be back with that load tonight. This is just great.”
“Hey, where are we?”
“What?”
“Where…”
“Are you simple? You can’t get here without knowing what this place is. Seriously…? You really don’t know…”
“…”
“Wow… A kid huh…a magiology student I bet. Went snooping around somewhere you shouldn’t and found a Bindle Stone or Port Key. Idiot… This…is…the Daemon Plain, the Underworld. The Dominion of the Damned, and what not.”
“How the hell did I… How did Jack get a…a whatever stone?”
“A Bindle Stone. You don’t get Bindle Stones or Port Keys you make them. It’s hard as hell to get the reagents so if you make one you're not going to just let go of it. So… Where is it?”
“What?”
“Whatever you used to get here.”
“I don’t have it! Jack grabbed it before I disappeared!”
“Huh. Looks like you’re screwed, man.”
“What!”
“Good luck getting out of here without it.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you have one? You gotta get me out of here!”
“I don’t got to do a damn thing, kid. You pop out of no where, get Kharuzul there all riled up, screw up my harvest, and now you expect me to help you. Screw that!”
“You can’t leave me here! Fff…I…dude!”
“You probably deserve it too. Messing with stuff you shouldn’t. I should leave you here just for that. Actually…”
“Hey! Where’d you… You can’t leave me here! Come back! Please!”
“Hey, I’m right behind you. I’m just messin’ with you, man. I wouldn’t leave anyone here, this place is hell.”
“You jerk!”
“Heh, tell you what…”
“You’re a punk, man.”
“…help me get what I came here for and I’ll see if I can’t find someone with a Port Key that can carry more than one person. Send ‘em back for ya. Name’s Jim by the way.”
“Fine. Mike. Whatever I gotta do man.”
“Alright. We’ll have to distract him to get to the stones.”
“How’re we gunna do that.”
“Well…he’s looking for his toy right? Looks like you’ll have to go and play…Toy.”
“What…no! That thing wants to eat me!”
“You want to get out of here or what… Okay then. All you have to do is call him by his name and challenge him to a game or something.”
“What?”
“You challenge him to a game, or a contest or whatever. Then I can…”
“Are you crazy! He’ll just eat me!”
“Nah, if you say his name and challenge him, he has to accept. It’s… it’s some sort of code they got. If you beat them you get to live…I think.”
“Screw that!”
“Its that or nothing man.”
