...Romeo and Juliet need professional help.

[It seems that someone has found the library. She's spent the past few hours lurking about, and can be found curled up somewhere inside with Romeo and Juliet. She's on one of the last few pages.]

footnotes for the win, romeo and juliet, don't get it

Old news.

[Text] chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:11:33 UTC

How old?

[Text] compos_mentis August 1 2009, 04:15:12 UTC

Old enough that I'm not rightfully sure of the original publication date, as far as I'm concerned.

[Text] chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:24:40 UTC

That is old.

In that case, I'm sorry for being redundant. I knew it was famous, but not that it had been around that long.

They were in a bad situation.

chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:25:59 UTC

I know, but if they'd both been sensible about it, it could have turned out a lot better.

andahardplace August 1 2009, 04:31:39 UTC

Yes, but then it wouldn't be the classic it is.

chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:32:48 UTC

Well... that's true. But they'd have been a lot happier. If, you know, they were actual people.

What makes you say that? [it's presumed that Roxas has already told Kairi about Naminé's arrival, so she thought it would be best to address her Nobody herself I enjoy godmodding myself.]

[Written] chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:32:05 UTC

They're so hasty and overly-emotional. They barely even knew each other.

[Hm, now who's...? Oh, just check the ico-- Kairi.]

[Excuse her, she'll just be staring at the journal for a minute.]

[...Okay, back.]

Hello, Kairi.

[Written] meteorical August 1 2009, 04:37:08 UTC

Hi. Roxas said you were here. Did you just come back?

[Written] chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:38:44 UTC

Back?

I see. Yes, I did. At least, that's what people are telling me. I don't remember being here in the first place.

Who is Romeo and Juliet?

[voice] :O Great minds think alike? o_o chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:41:03 UTC

They're two people in a story that... well, it's complicated. But, long story short? They meet each other and fall in 'love', but their families hate each other so they can't be together, people get killed and banished and then they end up killing themselves.

It's... kind of depressing.

[voice] indeed, indeed ♥ belovedoujo August 1 2009, 04:47:28 UTC

Oh, it sounds so tragically romantic!

[voice] ♥ chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:56:03 UTC

I think it's supposed to be, but... you kind of have to wonder how wise it was to act like that.

Tch. If they communicated better, neither of them would have died.

[ voice ] chainthestars August 1 2009, 04:50:29 UTC

Didn't they try? I thought the person that was supposed to be telling Romeo the plan got quarantined, or something like that.
