[[This is a Mystik Spiral music video. I'll say it was filmed about 3 years after IICY. I'm thinking about building a story around its creation, but not sure yet. This is my first attempt at anything like this, so don't expect too much. All feedback is welcome]]
Mystik Spiral
"Combat Girl"
(Start with a bit of feedback from a guitar, a door in a
bar, close zoom on the bottom, just as it opens. We see a pair of black combat
boots step in as the music starts [think typical Mystik
Spiral, maybe a bit like "Icebox Woman"] as the camera continues upward,
You got your boots on
tonight
And you look ready to
fight
The camera pans up a pair of bare legs to a black pleated skirt that falls just above the knees. Then, we see a black jacket, unzipped halfway, revealing a dark green shirt beneath)
And I'm thinking I
might
Have found the love of
my life
(The camera finally reaches the face of our star and reveals it to be none other than Daria. She is almost unrecognizable. Her hair is pulled back in a low bun, and she's got the dreaded contacts in, with just a hint of eyeliner and lipstick. She looks around with little interest, and makes her way to the bar, ignoring everyone around her as the band jumps into the chorus)
Combat girl
You've got those boots
on
Combat girl
Yeah you're headstrong
Combat girl
This stupid love song
Will never be enough
for you
(Daria orders a drink, and turns,
leaning back against the bar as she takes a sip. She glances around again,
looking bored, raising an eyebrow slightly as her gaze falls on the stage. At
this point, we see that Mystik Spiral is the band
performing. She hides a small smirk, taking another sip of her drink)
You'd just laugh at
bouquets
If I sent chocolate
your way
(We watch from
You'd slice me like a
filet
So I just think I'll
say... Hey
(Cut to a close-up of
Combat girl
You've got those boots
on
(The camera cuts between Trent and Daria,
she sets her drink down and puts her elbows on the bar behind her, shooting him
a look that screams "Just try it")
Combat girl
Yeah you're headstrong
Combat girl
This stupid love song
(
Come a little closer
baby
Let me feel your light
(Daria raises one eyebrow as he
draws near, she looks him up and down once)
I promise not to be
prince charming
If you promise that
you'll bite
(She pushes off the bar, crossing her arms across her chest
as he finally closes the gap, stopping just inches
from her. They stare each other down for a few seconds as Jesse starts
strumming the guitar, building volume slowly)
Just take me home
tonight
(She smirks a little, uncrossing her arms as she turns to
go. She's almost out of reach when
I see your face in my
dreams
And in those
(
We take it to the
extreme
Yeah you're makin me scream
(He puts his hand behind her head and jerks it back, leaning
in for a kiss as the chorus starts)
Combat girl
(She smirks, shoving him back, and we see they are no longer
in a bar, but a darkened bedroom. He falls back on the bed as she takes a step
back)
You've got those boots
on
Combat girl
(She slowly unzips her jacket as he sits up, leaning back on
his hands, and grinning slyly.)
Yeah you're headstrong
Combat girl
(The jacket falls away, revealing that the green shirt
beneath is a tank top that hugs some decent curves. She pulls a pin from her
hair, shaking her head a little as it cascades across her shoulders. She walks
toward him, licking her lips slowly)
This stupid love song
Will never be enough
for you
(Daria straddles him on the bed,
her hands tilting his head back as she leans in for a kiss, close up of
Yeah it'll never be
enough for you
(
I know I'll never be
enough for you
(The camera swings back to Daria,
as she drains her glass in one gulp and slams it on the bar, giving one last
look as she turns to leave. The music dies slowly, until we just hear feedback
again. Cut to
