Ghede: Guerrier Extraordinaire #1: Pages 5-6
Page 5, 6 Panels- Corinne’s
Panel 1-2: Cut to a shot of Ghede from behind the bar looking out. The action of the bar seen somewhat in the background. A few moments later, we see the warrior specter lost in her own train of thought. She looks up and to her right in the direction of the TV screen, following the rest of the ceremony with a growl, remembering what went on. In Panel 2, we see an attractive (by Haitian standards) slide closer to Ghede’s position. She’s wearing a yellow form-fitting dress and a level of appropriate makeup for females in the country.
Panel 3: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. As Ghede’s glass is now half full, and resting on the counter in front of her, the local woman gently slides her hand across the wood bar counter toward the specter’s resting right elbow.
YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [flirtatiously; translated from French]: Hello there…
Panel 4: Close-up on the Haitian Woman a single beat later. Her fingertips gently gliding up the smooth, black skin of Ghede. The look of flirtation in her eyes, hiding out potential plans for nighttime events in sparsely lit bedrooms dancing in her head.
YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [Cont.]: Local or Euro?
Panel 5: Back to Ghede looking back at the woman next to her. She’s a little taken aback by the sudden question, noticing the smooth brown hand gliding up her arm and toward her shoulder. Though also somewhat aroused given what her silver eyes are witnessing.
GHEDE [half-grin, translated from French]: What?
YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [Off-Panel]: Are you one of the Euro gods…
Panel 6: Back to the Haitian Woman a second later. Her hand lifts off of Ghede’s smooth coal-colored skin, and float back to the counter. You can see her face and body language overall continuing the path of flirtation she’s held since we first saw her.
YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [Cont.]: …or a Local God?
Page 6, 5 Panels- Corinne's Panel 1: Back to Ghede a few moments later. The glass laying on the counter next to her. At this point, she recognizes the hidden meaning sparkling in the young woman's eyes. Her smile grows from a half-grin to a full one, showing her pearly fang-like teeth that glisten ever so slightly underneath the bar's lighting. GHEDE [to the young Haitian woman]: Ah, yes! Well, I'm not a God... Panel 2: Same setting as the previous panel. The layout widens slightly to show the Voodoo specter sliding her right hand toward the young woman. Her silver eyes glimmering like jewels with the touch of flirtation growing inside her. GHEDE [Cont., leaning the top half of her body toward her slightly]: But I can shake worlds like one! YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN: Really? Panel 3: Close-up on Ghede and the Young Haitian Woman a moment later. You can see Ghede's hand moving up the woman's smooth brown arm and shoulder. Her lips an inch away from the woman's ear, sending shudders of pleasure into the human. GHEDE: Or through dimesional planes...if that's more your speed. YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [wide, pleased smile]: Mmmm... Panel 4: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. The woman drifts back slightly from the specter's lips, touching them gently with her right forefinger as she does. Though her body language is still open to the potential for sexy business. YOUNG HAITIAN WOMAN [Cont., to Ghede]: We should let the night guide us before the waves of pleasure do. GHEDE [respectful]: Of course... Panel 5: Cut to a couple of beats later. The two of them have settled to a respectable, yet still intimate distance between each other. Their hands interlocking with one another on the bar counter as they speak. YVONNE: The name's Yvonne... GHEDE: Ghede...
