About this script
A pigeon is hired by a server of bored office workers to solve small crimes. twelve messages, Discord style, about 36 seconds as a video, and Quill kicks it off with "The pigeon has taken the case of the missing crisps.". Characters: Quill, Sam and Roz, all invented. With three people in the scene, the Free plan shows only two of them. Discord is one of the looks open to everyone on the Free plan.
Pacing it beat by beat
The longest bubble, message 8, reads "The pigeon says: both of you were in the same meeting." (11 words). Open on "The pigeon has taken the case of the missing crisps." before you reach it.
Finish with "Sam, you are the thief.", then "I was only protecting them.", then a long pause before "Case closed.". Questions: one. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.
Making the video
Press the button to load The Detective Pigeon in the editor with the Discord look. Available here: typing dots, reactions and an online status. Not available: read marks. A typing indicator before the final line sells the reveal.
On Free you get four messages, up to "Suspect one: Sam."; the remaining eight are on paid plans. Say it is fiction in the caption. You can change any line or name once the sample is open in the editor.
Part two hook
For Part 2: the pigeon demands payment in sandwiches. End on "Case closed." and tell viewers in the caption that the story continues; a small hint in the comments keeps them waiting.
Tips
- Read the script aloud once; if "The pigeon says: both of you were in the same meeting." trips you up, shorten it.
- After "Case closed.", wait two seconds, then show the ending card.
- Rename Quill and Sam to invented names of your own and it becomes your original version.
- Post Part 2 within two days so viewers of this comedy episode come back.
- Place "Which crisps?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
