Matt Refghi: Hello, sir. I was attracted by your sign over here you hope that there are no assassins around Dave: Oh yes.
Matt: Pardon?
Dave: Oh, yes, Im scared of the assassins very scared.
Matt: So yesterday I saw some Splinter Cell guys hanging around, you know, with the night vision and all that, I was a little concerned (emphasizing) I was a little concerned when I saw this, cause I was like yea theres some people around that might hurt you.
Dave: Theres many people around that might hurt me, but when youre British you get quite used to that happening.
Matt: (laughs) Okay, and this costume: wheres it from, specifically?
Dave: Okay, specifically, its a British red coat officers uniform, from the 30th ??? regiment. Somewhat modded. And the game in question, Im sure everyone knows, is Assassins Creed 3 where as a red coat in that game, once the assassins are around, youve got a life expectancy of micro-seconds.
Matt: Well, thats understandable, its understandable, and I like that the red kind of matches with the Star Trek. Im sure theres more historical significance there
Dave: Yes.
Matt: but the red shirt, yeah, youre in trouble, my friend.
Dave: Oh, yes.
Matt: Across multiple universes. But how do you personally feel about Assassins Creed, the series?
Dave: I have only really played Assassins Creed 3, but I think its wonderful, and Im really ??? so Im going to get the other games when I get back from the UK, because theyre cheap now apart from anything else.
Matt: So you are from the UK, yourself?
Dave: Yes, Im actually from the UK and I flew in just for Dragon Con and to see some friends, and its amazing.
Matt: Alright, and its your first time?
Dave: Yes, Dragon Con virgin.
Matt: Are you (laughs), thats fine. Are you have you been bitten by the bug? (Uses right hand to simulate a bug biting his left arm.)
Dave: Oh, yeah, Im back next year. Ill going to sell a kidney if I have to get here.
Matt: Sell a kidney, okay well, that might be worth it, might be worth it.
Dave: Yeah . I dont use them for much anyway.
Matt: Right and so I remember, you know, theres a lot of pride in Montreal with Ubisoft having created this because theyre really a well-renowned studio.
Dave looks to his right, and suddenly runs, terrified. He hands Matt the microphone while doing so. Matt looks stunned as two assassins pass by, clearly the ones that scared Dave off.
Matt: (To the assassins) Okay, guys, well, you know, you just scared off my interview.
Brent: Sorry about that.
Jonathan shrugs slightly, but in manner that suggests he was just doing his job not very apologetic.
Matt: But its alright, so I guess youre fulfilling your role here. So how do you guys feel about the Assassins Creed franchise?
Brent: We feel pretty good about it.
Matt: Enough to dress up certainly.
Brent: Yes, certainly.
Jonathan: Huge fan.
Brent: Played all the games.
Matt: Ive played the first one, really enjoyed it, Ive also but that was it.
Brent: Yeah, they get better from there.
Matt: They get better?
Brent: Yeah.
Matt: Excellent.
Brent: 2 is probably my favorite, and Brotherhood, those are two are probably my favorite ones. But yeah, theyre all really fun to play.
Matt: I like the concept of Brotherhood, the whole thing about having assassins that work for you.
Brent: Yeah.
Matt: So your names, by the way.
Brent: Im Brent.
Jonathan: and Im Jonathan.
Matt: Okay, cool. So I like the costumes, and Im also wondering: youre probably seeing other assassins creed brothers of yours around, right?
Brent: This is true, we have been.
Matt: Have you been huddling around in groups trying to be stealthy?
Brent: Um, yeah, I mean
Jonathan: Gotta stay sneaky.
Brent: we have the hoods, and apparently that just works, so, as long as we have them up, its fine.
Matt: If theres one place where you can blend in to a, you know, crowd, I think its here. I think theres a lot of variety.
Jonathan: Thats true, so many people its difficulty to pinpoint targets in crowds.
Matt: Well, you get to choose, you know. You have an abundance, you can just go to town.
Brent: Exactly. Like that guy, we had to get that guy. (Gesturing to direction Dave fled.)
Matt: How long have you been stalking him?
Brent: For a while, weve seen him off and on. Hes a big target priority, so, you know.
Jonathan: Lets be honest, the sign kind of gives him away.
Matt: Yea, it makes him a juicy target, right?
Brent: Oh, yeah.
Matt: Alright, quite cool, guys. I hope you enjoy the Con.
Brent: You too.
Matt: Thats it. Thank you.
Brent: Alright, thank you.
Matt: And try not to kill him, leave him alone.
Brent: Might just give him a punishment.
Jonathan: Cant make any promises.
Matt: Cant make any promises.
Jonathan: Cant make any promises.
Matt: Thats alright. Youre assassins, but dont you have like a code? Dont assassins have a code?
Jonathan: We do.
Matt: But if an assassin has a code to not assassinate, theres a problem.
Jonathan: Exactly.
Brent: Thats true I mean, it is our job, its what we have to do.
Jonathan: Templars take priority.
Matt: Alright.
Brent: We only kill bad people, or at who we consider bad people, so theres that.
Jonathan: Alright, well, (referring to Dave) hes pure evil, so go ahead.
Jonathan: Indeed.
Brent: Fun talk.
Matt: Thanks, guys.
Jonathan: Take care, man.
Scene cuts to Matt standing next to Dave, who looks slightly uneasy.
Matt: Dave, Im really happy to see you, because I just they just chased you off, and Im sorry but I interviewed them.
Dave: Yea, I think I got away with it, though, I think Ive lost them, and I dont think theyre coming back.
Matt: Okay, well thats what
Brent and Jonathan enter the frame separately, from the left and rides sides, respectively. They are approaching Dave rapidly, and hes starting to be become aware of their presence. Jonathan stabs Dave in the back before Brent is able to do so himself. Brent is limping slightly and supporting his back as if it was in pain.
Matt: (Looking down at Daves body) Oh, no what
Brent shrugs while looking at Jonathan, who also shrugs but in more of a what? thats how its done type way. Jonathan leaves the scene, and is then followed by Brent, who took a moment to shrug in disappointment once more before leaving.
Matt places the microphone on the ground, and runs away from the scene, into the crowd.
An female thief in an Assassins Creed costume calmly walks in from the left, crouches next to Daves corpse, and starts searching Daves body. She feel around to see if he has anything in his pockets, and finally decides to steal his Con badge, which is attached to his belt. She stands up, satisfied, and calmly walks off to the right.
