After much deliberation we chose the "Riverbank Scene" as it is a great introduction to our heroes in this dark and dangerous adventure.

Prelude to the riverbank scene

We begin our journey with the introduction of Detective Deadly Serious, an officer of the Afrikalala Police Department. Deadly Serious is an underpaid, overworked and overlooked detective in his mid-forties who would like nothing better than the chance to work on a big case. However, his superiors think very little of his detective abilities and so continually relegate him to menial tasks like looking for lost dogs and helping old grannies open their jam jars.

To add to his misery, Deadly Serious has been having a repeat nightmare in which food comes alive and pummels him to smitherines. He is a grey man on the edge (of what he’s not quite sure).

One evening, while walking home from work, he finds himself in front of a run-down hall. There is a play being performed and the detective sidles into the shadows to have a look. The play is being performed by brothers Byrth and Myrth from the Feedback shelter and details a “Food Revolution”. Deadly Serious recognises their names and recalls a conversation he overheard earlier in which his superior officer was assigning another detective the tasks of investigating these supposed “environmental guerillas”. Deadly Serious sees his chance and sets his mind on following these eco-terrorists and foiling their devilish masterplans. But before he can do a thing the hall erupts in chaos. A squadron of black-garbed goons descend on the place and send the audience, and the brothers, spilling into the night.

Deadly Serious gives chase through the night and finally catches up with them at a riverbank early the following morning.

So begins the riverbank scene...
