SCENE 2: THE RECRUIT'S DORM

SCENE 2: THE RECRUIT'S DORM

( The RECRUITS are shown lounging about their dorm. Some are playing hand games, others are practicing gymnastics, or joking. A very casual environment. TANIKA barges through the door, causing everyone to stop what they're doing and stand straight, in a soldier like position.)

TANIKA

What the hell were you doing?

(TANIKA walks around the children, stopping at some to fix their posture. Her posture is dominant, much like her master.)

Line up, all of you.

(The RECRUITS quickly form a line in front of TANIKA, as she continues talking)

Master has an announcement for you. Make sure you all are on your best behaviour-

(She looks at the child in front, RECRUIT #2)

Or else.

(RECRUIT #2 looks away, causing TANIKA to grab their chin and force them to look at her, copying HAYDEN again.)

Pay attention, sweetheart, or it's to the punishment room.

RECRUIT #1

(Whispering)

I betcha if I blink the wrong way, I'd get sent there.

(TANIKA hears this, and calmly walks over to RECRUIT #1)

TANIKA

Oh no, you wouldn't get sent to the punishment room for that...

(TANIKA grabs RECRUIT #1'S arm and drags them to the front)

but smart asses get sent there so fast it makes their disobedient little heads spin.

(TANIKA shoves RECRUIT #1 towards the door, roughly.)

You better get there before anyone else does, or you're dead!

(RECRUIT #1 runs off stage. TANIKA turns to face the other RECRUITS.)

Let's go, before anyone else gets a smart idea.

(TANIKA leads the RECRUITS offstage.)
