  • EXT. NOX ISLIA / THE TIP, NEAR THE DOOR – DAY
  • A hand holds up a clapperboard, like you see on a movie set. We realise now that the appointment Avi was late for is to record something called WELCOME TO NOX ISLIA, for N.I. TV, and that the two unidentified voices are this production's camera operator and director, respectively. The clapperboard identifies that this is scene one, take one.
  • CAMERA OPERATOR (V.O)
  • Oh, cute.
  • DIRECTOR (V.O)
  • Two bucks at the thrift store. Action!
  • Avi protrudes his body from the side of the Door, as if he's only now realised you were there.
  • AVI
  • Oh hi there.
  • He steps in front of the door, and now actively speaks to the camera.
  • AVI
  • My name is Avi, and I've been asked to welcome you to Nox Islia, the Island in the Shadows! It's called that because people don't know it exists, not because it's particularly dark here!
  • Closer to the camera now, Avi points behind himself with his thumb, at the door.
  • AVI
  • If you're watching this, you probably came here through the thing behind me: The Door. But you know about the Door, so let's not dwell on it! Join me at the castle, won't you?
