A sample skit with banter between the characters.

Skit - Magic Cards

Amie: You know, I've always wondered. How do these magic cards work anyway? Bella: It's just magic, isn't it? It just kinda works. You just wave it in the air and magic stuff happens. Charlie: On the contrary, I've actually figured out a specific pattern to them. It runs on an algorithm that I've spent months trying to figure out. Amie: Really? Charlie: I had my soldiers keep track of their own physical fitness, and they compiled a list of the average amount of damage they do towards the monsters. And taking precise measurements, converting the damages into numbers, and plotting them on a graph, I've found that they follow a linear equation! Amie: I've heard that term before. Was that in algebra? Bella: Hate. Math. Too many. Numbers. Charlie: Precisely, Amie. First, we take the caster's overal strength. Add that to the power level of the card as well as any strength boosting equipment you have. Then, subtract a random number from the margin of error to account for variations. Then subtract the cast target's defense levels as well as the rating of any defensive equipment they have and divide that by two. And finally, if the final result is less than 1, then the output will just be 1. And voila! That simple equation governs everything in this world. You, me. The monsters. Everything. Bella: ...my brain just broke. Amie: I kinda get it. But could you repeat that one more- Bella: No, just no. I've had enough math for one day. I'm on summer break right now and I need to flush all that math crap out of my head. Amie: Then that defeats the purpose of schooling, doesn't it? School is supposed to make you smarter! Bella: Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Charlie: Oh, it's so wonderful isn't it? Do you want to hear the formula on how- Bella: NOOO! It's magic! Magic! They're called magic cards! They do magic stuff and magic things! That's it! Charlie: Ah, I'm disappointed. I was certain someone with so much magical affinity would be interested. Amie: Nah, I think she's just hungry right now. Bella: ...Chocolate. Yes. Need. Chocolate. Charlie: You are quite the enigmatic one, aren't you?
