Grouping For Looks is a page-by-page retelling of the Looking For Group saga through the lens of a mirror universe where Cale is a goateed tyrant and Richard is a holy soul trying to set him on a good path.

INT. THE CITY BENEATH THE CITY – THE PAST

The annoyed dragon person silently exchanges glances with the other dragon people in his cabal. One by one, they nod. 

DRAGON PERSON
We conferred and have come to a conclusion. 

RICHARD
What’s your name?

DRAGON PERSON
I’m sorry?

RICHARD
We didn’t formally meet. I’d hate for that to cause confusion in the future. 

Richard extends an open palm. 

RICHARD
I’m Richard. 

The dragon person takes Richard’s pasty white hand in his clawed palm. 

DRAGON PERSON
Call me Dragon Person. My true name is in Draconic. To pronounce it correctly, I would have to pull out your tongue.

RICHARD
Charmed. 

DRAGON PERSON
So… Our conclusion?

RICHARD
Yes, do go on. 

DRAGON PERSON
There is a chance, Richard, a miniscule chanc- OH COME ON!

Richard is shoulder deep in a griffon’s beak. 

RICHARD
I’m so sorry about all of the interruptions. 

DRAGON PERSON
The army has arrived. You will navigate the labyrinth and do what must be done. 

Dragon Person points to a stone staircase descending deep into the ground. 

DRAGON PERSON
The time has come to unsheath the truth. 

The dragons remove their hoods and draw their swords. 

No reaction. 

DRAGON PERSON
That’s right. We are the First Ones!

They pose dramatically.

The tip of Cale’s ears are barely visible as he descends the stairs, followed by Benny, Krunch, and Pella. 

CALE
K.

KRUNCH
Very interesting, I’m sure. 

BENNY
You’ll always be #1 in our hearts. 

PELLA
If ye can get our Redeemer away from tha griffin, let’im know we be going down these stairs.
