Roman Citizen (Male)

minor

A middle-aged Roman man with short, dark brown hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and warm brown eyes. His skin is sun-kissed, typical of the Mediterranean climate. He wears a simple, off-white tunic made of linen, cinched at the waist with a rope belt, and sturdy leather sandals. He carries a small, woven basket, perhaps from the market, and has a focused, busy expression.

Roman Citizen (Female)

minor

A young adult Roman woman with long, dark, wavy hair styled in an intricate braid, secured with a simple ribbon. Her eyes are a striking hazel, and her complexion is fair. She wears a flowing, pale blue stola, draped elegantly over a white tunic, and delicate leather sandals. She walks with a graceful posture, carrying a small clay amphora, perhaps for water or wine.

Renaissance Artist

minor

A male Renaissance artist in his late twenties with tousled, medium-length auburn hair, a slight stubble, and intense, creative blue eyes. His face is smudged with paint, and his hands are stained. He wears a practical, dark red doublet over a loose white linen shirt, with brown breeches and worn leather boots. He has a focused expression, holding a paintbrush and palette, standing before an easel with a half-finished fresco.

Renaissance Citizen (Female)

minor

A middle-aged Florentine woman with dark, tightly curled hair pulled back under a decorative head covering, revealing a few elegant strands framing her face. Her dark brown eyes are warm and observant. She has a fair complexion. She is dressed in an elaborate, deep green gown with wide sleeves and intricate embroidery, indicative of her status, and comfortable leather shoes. She carries a small, ornate fan and observes the bustling street with a composed demeanor.

Italian Revolutionary

supporting

A charismatic male Italian revolutionary in his early thirties with dark, wavy hair swept back, intense, determined brown eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His skin is tanned and rugged. He wears a simple, practical dark suit jacket over a white shirt, with a loosely tied dark cravat, and dark trousers. A tricolor (green, white, red) ribbon is pinned to his lapel. He stands on a wooden crate, arms raised passionately, addressing a crowd with a fervent expression.

Italian Citizen (Female)

minor

A young female Italian citizen in her late teens, with long, dark brown hair styled in soft curls, bright, curious blue eyes, and a slightly worried but hopeful expression. She wears a modest, long-sleeved dress in a muted earth tone, with a simple shawl draped over her shoulders, and sturdy, low-heeled boots. She clutches a small, tricolor flag, listening intently to the revolutionary speech, her face showing a mix of apprehension and resolve.

PAGE 1

Panel 1:Classroom scene. Students are slumped in their desks, looking bored. Ms. Judy stands at the front of the room, holding a textbook.

“Ms. Judy: ...and so, the early colonists faced many challenges in establishing a new life in America. Can anyone tell me what some of those challenges were?”

Panel 2:Close-up on a student drawing doodles in their notebook instead of paying attention.

Panel 3:Ms. Judy sighs, looking slightly exasperated. Her gaze falls on an antique chalkboard at the back of the room.

“Ms. Judy: (to herself) Oh dear, they're not engaged at all. Time for Plan B...”

Panel 4:Close-up on the antique chalkboard. It is glowing faintly with a blue light.

PAGE 2

Panel 1:Ms. Judy dramatically approaches the chalkboard, a determined look on her face.

“Ms. Judy: Alright class, let's try a more... immersive approach to learning about the Pilgrims!”

Panel 2:Ms. Judy touches the chalkboard. The blue glow intensifies, and the classroom begins to dissolve into a swirling vortex of colors and sounds.

Panel 3:Close-up of a student screaming in terror as the classroom disappears.

“Student: Aaaah!”

Panel 4:Another student clutches their head, looking dizzy and disoriented.

“Student: What's happening?!”

PAGE 3

Panel 1:The students are crammed into the dark, damp hull of a ship. It's crowded and smelly.

Panel 2:Pilgrims surround them, looking equally miserable. Some are seasick.

Panel 3:Ms. Judy, now dressed in period clothing, speaks to the students in a low voice. She looks slightly older.

“Ms. Judy: Welcome to 1620. We're aboard the Mayflower. Try to blend in. This is real.”
