SCENE 2 - INT. RAEKA'S BEDROOM – NIGHT
SFX - NATSOT FROM THE INTERNET GAME AND FROM THE ENVIRONMENT ITSELF
RAEKA'S bedroom is not too big but definitely not small. Has a solo bed, with a bedside lamp with pictures and other stuff. Has a PC or a Laptop with a table beside it. A glass half-full of milk, an empty plate of cookies, and an opened medicine tablet are placed on the table. The look of the room should be not too neat, but not that messy either. The room should reflect the girl's personality: girly and artsy with a hint of mystery.
It is about 2:30 AM.
RAEKA SANTOS, a half-Filipina, half-Spanish 17 year-old girl is playing a Flash horror internet game. (http://www.sinthaistudio.com/room.htm)
