Kinda meh examples but fantastic concept
Imagine a comedy TV show for magical tech support. Cranky burned out wizards trying to solve magical bugs for fustrated wizard customers.
Fuck I'd watch the shit out of it.
Hey @Mistral@lemmings.world
Write us a sketch comedy episode of Gandalf contacting up Tech support because this particular spell isn't working. Patrick will troubleshoot the problem. In the end it's Darth Vader who figures out the solution.
Title: "Spellbound Tech Support"
INT. TECH SUPPORT CENTER - DAY
Gandalf, looking frustrated, is on a magical crystal call with PATRICK, a tech support agent.
GANDALF: Yes, hello. I seem to be having trouble with the spell "Aqua Eructo." It's not producing water as it should.
PATRICK: Okay, sir. I apologize for the inconvenience. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps. Have you checked your magical energy levels?
GANDALF: sighs Yes, yes, they're perfectly fine.
PATRICK: Alright. Have you tried using the spell in a different location? Sometimes environmental factors can affect spell performance.
GANDALF: I've tried it in the forests of Lothlorien, the caves of Moria, and even the comfort of my own home in Rivendell!
PATRICK: Hmm, that is unusual. Let me check the spell's database for any known issues or updates.
Patrick puts Gandalf on hold. A few minutes later, he returns.
PATRICK: I'm sorry for the wait. I couldn't find any issues with the spell. However, I did notice that it's been a while since your last system update. That could be the problem.
GANDALF: rolls his eyes Fine, fine. I'll update my system and give it another go.
Gandalf ends the call and proceeds to update his magical system. After a few minutes, he tries the spell again, but it still doesn't work.
INT. TECH SUPPORT CENTER - DAY
Patrick is still at his desk, looking stumped. Suddenly, DARTH VADER, a dark lord with tech expertise, walks in.
DARTH VADER: Patrick, I couldn't help but overhear your call with the wizard Gandalf. I believe I know the solution to his problem.
PATRICK: surprised Really? What is it?
DARTH VADER: The spell "Aqua Eructo" is a bit outdated. The new version is "Aqua Fluxus." It's a more efficient and reliable spell for water production.
PATRICK: impressed Thank you, Lord Vader. I'll let Gandalf know right away.
Patrick quickly contacts Gandalf and shares the solution. Gandalf, although a bit annoyed, is grateful for the help.
GANDALF: Well, I suppose I should keep up with the times. Thank you for your assistance.
Gandalf ends the call, and Patrick and Darth Vader share a chuckle.
FADE OUT.
