Water.
Fire crackling against stone walls.
Drafts.
The sound of your heels banging across the stone floor.
The shuffling of your feet in a half of a foot of dust and blown in sand.
Water dripping from a fountain.
A fountain with pouring water.
A faint sound of a gothic choir in the distance, their lovely voices eminating from their throats fill the massive room
Brendon Frasier having fun teasing a small child about how spooky it can be, but then letting him know that he wouldn't take him some where that would be dangerous.
Looking out at one of the balconies and admiring the serene and brustling bird-filled clusters of trees out in the distance.
Rocks being tossed and kicked through the halls.
"You know, I was in a movie where I was in a temple but it was a stereotypical one, you know, in Egypt."
"Hwaht's sterotipacol?"
"It's what people assume something is because it looks like something."
"Hwaht?"
"Well, I can't think of an example, a GOOD one at least but let's try this. Say there's a big dog in front of you, someone pets it and it starts growling."
"Wohn't the dog buh-hite him?"
"That's exactly where I'm going with this! You THINK the dog is going to bite him, however, I've had a friend who had a dog that would growl if you started petting him, even when my friend pet him, but the dog just acted that way for some reason."
"Oh. I dohn't like big dogs that grorowl."
Brendon Frasier and child walking out of the temple.
Child getting ready for school the next morning for school.
Child gets pushed by the biggest bully in the school.
"Ey! Stop it!"
"Hahahaha! Why?"
"It's noht funny"
"Yeah it is."
"To you it is."
"Oh."
Bully huffing and puffing into the classroom.
"Mr. Orbison? I feel guilty."
"Why's that?"
"Well, I was having fun with this kid and well, after thinking about it, I think it was more mean than funny, my big brother told me I shouldn't do those things."
"What did you do?"
"I pushed a kid out of a line and took his place."
"Aw no, that's not nice at all."
"Well it was only a joke!"
"No, no, you see, the biggest joke is the one where you only THINK you're getting friends."
"But my Dad gets my brother mad all the time but they still like each other."
"That's because your brother and your Dad know they're both joking."
"Oh."
A classroom of kids shuffling in, a chair is slid across the room.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you."
"It's ohkay. You wanna be fwends?"
"You got it."
Roy Orbinson - Anything you want (You got it) fades in at its very beginning.

Splinter Cell, Half Life, Portal (there are like, two songs, but they're both great), Mischief Makers, Halo, Megaman, Shadow of the Colossus, every Metroid game (well, not 2, but it was just the gameboy), Gunstar Heroes, Killer 7, No More Heroes, Resident Evil, Um Jammer Lammy, Vice City and San Andreas, Silent Hill, ELITE BEAT AGENTS (!), Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8, and to a certain extent, 9, and I also dug most of System Shock's stuff.
