[Thread] But why's the priest gone?
Characters: OU! Mrs. Lovett and OU! Sweeney Todd
Where: Main Hall
When: Very late wednesday night
Summary: Lovett's striding outside her comfort zone to try and find new things to do...and perhaps get away from all the trouble that seems to be following her. Needless to say, Todd runs into her.
Warnings: Singing, usual Todd warnings, perhaps a bit of cute/baaaaw/whatever, you never really know with these two.
Lovett had gone off in hopes of finding something else to do with her time rather than stare at a wall, bake, or be harassed by a certain barber. All in all, she was looking for a quiet walk around, perhaps a run-in to someone new to talk to. The last few days had not been the easiest, nor most pleasant for her.
Needless to say, she had chosen the wee hours to do her little strode around. Truthfully, she wanted to be alone, and the late night and early morning hours were the best times to do such things. It wasn't as if she could sleep easy anyway, so might as well make the best of it. The only thing she had really brought with her was that wedding band that had mysteriously come into her possession...but she would not keep that out in plain sight. She was much smarter than that.
She found herself singing as she walked and brooded, though kept her tones soft so that she might not disturb others or be caught by anyone wandering in.
"Now that we're alone, may I tell you:
I've been feeling very strange.
Either something's in the air, or else a change
Is happening in me.
I think I know the cause--
I'm sure I know the cause--
From everything I've heard, there's only one cause it can be.
Love, I hear, makes you sigh a lot,
Also, love, I hear, makes you weak.
Love, I hear, makes you blush and turns you ashen,
You try to speak with passion
And squeak, I hear.
Love, they say,
Makes you pine away,
But you pine away with an idiotic grin.
I pine, I blush, I squeak, I squawk,
Today I woke too weak to walk.
What's love, I hear, I feel, I fear I'm in.
Ahh...
See what I mean?
Da da da da da da dum...
I hum a lot too.
I'm dazed I'm pale, I'm sick, I'm sore,
I've never felt so well before!
What's love, I hear, I feel, I fear,
I know I am-- I'm sure--I mean-- I hope--I trust--
I pray I must
Be in!
Forgive me if I shout,
Forgive me if I crow.
I've only just found out,
And--well,
I thought you ought to know."
She'd sigh shortly after the completion of her tune, eyes half lidded. "Oh, you don't know how well off you have it, Mister T..."
