Find Mark

Icon Commission Commission Description

A guy named Mark is scouting for talent at Ballet Twins Road. Wanna try your hand at acting?
(Idle)
Mark: Is anyone around here a qualified actor?
(Talk to Mark)
Mark: *sigh*... If only I could find the right actors, I could shoot and upload my awesome reel!
Icon Dialogue Commission What reel?
(Continue commission)
Icon Dialogue Exit Leave
(Exit dialogue)

Mark: Oh! Wanna know more? Hmm... Let's see, you've got the right look and vibe.
Mark: Whaddaya say? Wanna have a go at playing the lead in my skit?
Icon Dialogue Talk The right look? Me?
Icon Dialogue Talk Me? ...The lead?
Mark: Yeah: A criminal who seems kind on the outside but is secretly cunning and nasty on the inside.
Icon Dialogue Talk (Stare at him)
Icon Dialogue Talk Goodbye!
Mark: Hey c'mon, wait up. Don't get mad! At least let me describe the (‍scenescene / settingsetting‍) first, would you? This main character is a charming anti-hero who leads a double life!
Mark: (‍HeHe / SheShe‍) may be this average Joe working in some office by day; but by night, (‍hishis / herher‍) true identity emerges as that of a legendary Proxy: Bangboo Guru!
Mark: As night falls, (‍he'llhe'll / she'llshe'll‍) command (‍hishis / herher‍) own gang of Bangboo to engage in burglaries and other criminal activities. This daredevil even goes down into the Hollows to combat brutal Hollow Raiders!
Icon Dialogue Talk And how's that like me?
Icon Dialogue Talk But I'm no criminal!
Mark: Of course you're not a criminal! But what I see is someone who, despite never harming a fly, has this other side that's profoundly mysterious... I'm not sure why but I feel like you've got the same vibe as my lead character.
Icon Dialogue Talk Is that really... a compliment?
Icon Dialogue Talk Uhh, thanks...?
Mark: Of course! How about you give my script for "Bangboo Guru" a read and see how you feel about it?
Mark: It's always nerve-wracking, the first time you read through a script. So why don't you take a deep breath and come back when you're ready to go through some lines with me. I'll be waiting!

Talk to Mark and rehearse the script

Icon Commission Step Description

Mark insists that we act in his short movie. We don't really want to be the lead, but a little cameo should be fine...
(Idle)
Mark: It's normal to be nervous when you're saying lines for the very first time.
(Talk to Mark again)
Mark: Hey, you ready now to rehearse some lines for "Bangboo Guru"?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm ready!
Mark: Great. Here are your lines, they're super-easy: "Hmph, any Bangboo down in the Hollows owe it all to me!"; "I'll give those Hollow Raiders an offer they can't refuse!"; and "Every Proxy knows me as the big bad kingpin!"
Mark: Once you're done rehearsing, just speak to the camera! And I'll capture it perfectly!
Icon Dialogue Talk (Remain silent)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Stare flabbergasted at him)
Mark: Hey, what's that look for? Don't tell me this is a role you can't handle! Or are you not happy with your lines?
Icon Dialogue Talk I won't say these lines!
Icon Dialogue Talk (Remain silent)
Mark: Hey, c'mon! Don't be like that, I was just sketching an outline when I wrote the script. As the lead, you're welcome to shake things up as you like!
Mark: Please, don't leave me! We can change the script — anything, so long as you'll act!
Icon Dialogue Talk Haven't you got any shame?
Mark: That's the way it is for us screenwriters, we don't have any actual say in this industry. If you really don't wanna play this role, I could shake up the script for you! That's an offer I only make to top-notch quality actors, I'll have you know!
Mark: But these days, this "Bangboo Guru" has been my only flash of inspiration... *sigh* If only I had some fresh new source material or some cool videotape to watch — that would fire up the creative juices.
Icon Dialogue Talk I have a video store on Sixth Street.
Mark: That's incredible. You leave me green with envy, I'll have to browse there soon! But honestly, as a student of directing, I've seen the lion's share of the mainstream films out there.
Mark: However, seeing as you're the owner, you should have collected a few tapes with some gritty real life footage, right? Like... Hollow Raiders coming out of the Hollows, something like that. I've seen one with genuine scenes from inside the Hollow. It was absolutely chilling and enough to give a burst of inspiration!
Icon Dialogue Talk We don't have anything like that at the store!
Icon Dialogue Talk You shouldn't watch objectionable material of questionable origin.
Mark: Don't get me wrong. This is all for educational purposes — that's all! I'm shooting a few scenes where the lead's Bangboo is kidnapped by a gang, and I'm in desperate need of reference footage right now.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're asking a lot
Mark: Oh well... I know this kind of tape is really hard to track down. Who knows how long it'd take me to get my hands on it alone.
Mark: But time is of the essence now! If you've got any tapes like this, please could you let me watch them! I'm begging you, they're only instructional!
(Idle)
Mark: Hmm... I feel like I don't have enough inspiration.
(Talk to Mark again, optional)
Mark: *sigh* I wish I had some footage of like a Hollow Raider... chasing a Bangboo... inside a Hollow. Not only would it evoke the ambiance of a Hollow, but I could use it as reference material...
Mark: I just want to study it! I promise, I'd never leak it to anyone else!

Go into the Hollow to shoot some combat scenes

Icon Commission Step Description

Mark needs to watch some real-life combat in the Hollows for inspiration. Fairy will record the action. As long as we fight hard, this guy will be blown away...
(Info)
Mark wants some thrilling in-Hollow footage as inspiration. Why not go for a stroll amid traps and mechanisms? That'll probably give him something to really check out...
(Approach the Bangboo)
Fairy: Master, the Bangboo extras are in position
Fairy: Watch out for the mechanisms around you and catch it as quickly as possible.
Fairy: I'll record the chase with the camera.
Fairy: Another 0/5 hits taken and you'll fail the challenge
(If the player takes 5 hits before reaching the end)
Wandering Bangboo: Ehn-nah-noo... (That didn't seem to have the desired effect.)
Wandering Bangboo: Ehn-nah, nah-noo-nah (But that's okay. Your performance just then was incredible!)
(Talk to Wandering Bangboo)
Wandering Bangboo: Ehn-nah, ehn-noo-nah (I'm so tired from all this running around... What a great actor I am, right?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Thanks for the hard work.
Wandering Bangboo: Ehn-nah, nah-noo-nah (That's okay. I heard that Eous' boss needed a hand, so I came here to play a cameo role!)
Wandering Bangboo: Ehn-nah ehn-nah, nah-noo-nah-noo (If you ever need to shoot a chase scene, I'm your Bangboo, okay!)

Talk to Mark about the combat footage

Icon Commission Step Description

We've shot plenty of combat footage in the Hollows. Once Mark sees it, he should have enough inspiration to write a new script.
(Idle)
Mark: Ahh, inspiration is what's most important!
(Talk to Mark in Random Play)
Mark: *sigh* If I can't find another videotape muse, I'm afraid I'll never finish this movie of mine...
Icon Dialogue Talk I've got a video here that you could check.
Mark: Really, Manager? Could you really have found some suitable material?
Icon Dialogue Talk Tell me your email and I'll send it to you.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll email it to you.
Mark: Ahhh!!! Ye gods, a ray of hope beaming down upon this desperate life of mine!
Mark: Thank you! Thank you so much, really! Once I get back, I'm going to scrutinize carefully this video of yours!
(Idle)
Mark: I'll have to carefully review this reference material...
(Talk to Mark again, optional)
Mark: Thank you so much!
Mark: I trust your taste. Any video you recommend can't be bad at all!
