Third act, time for final conclusions

Apr 16, 2005 07:13

I open my eyes and find myself in strange surroundings. My mind is quiet and the sun is shining. I do not know how long I have slept. Jan sits near by.

and when I see her the chain of memory drops around me once more.
I am awake and facing once more what I would wish to never face. My ( Read more... )

I wander into the room. "Hey, guys."

I glance from Amanda to Jan and nervously take a seat on the couch. This whole Shakespeare thing makes me, well... nervous.

I smile half-heartedly at Dawn, and say quietly, "Amanda woke up...I'm having kind of a hard time explaining to her what happened. Actually, she's taking the werewolf bit pretty much in stride, it's that she's under a spell that doesn't seem to be getting through. Figured I'd try, though." I look down. "She seems to be...uh, having an easier time than I am dealing with--" I can't quite say it, Eric's death.

I clench my jaw to keep from saying, That's because she thinks she's freaking Benvolio! It doesn't seem real that Eric's dead. It just doesn't compute somehow. I sigh.

"I wonder how everyone's gonna feel about this when the spell gets broken?" I mutter.

_janice_ April 20 2005, 06:54:16 UTC

I glance at her. I've been wondering the same thing, if maybe they don't even realize fully what's going on because of the spell. "It's gonna be bad," I say. "Poor Jordy. Poor Danny." Somehow they suddenly seemed worse off than Eric.

I hold the invitation/the script in my hands. It has been a long time since I have looked at it. It seems as though I have always had it. and Jan wants it turned to ashes so that I... should what?
loose my connections to kin and friends? I...must decide what I believe.

The lady Dawn returns,
"L-...Dawn,I Thank you, for the use of your house and the clothes." I leave off the honorific as it seems to disturb her if I speak it. "I should thank you also Jan, for your loyalty, and your kindness. It is by your actions that you show your friendship, I hope that by my actions I can show the same."

_janice_ April 20 2005, 07:20:46 UTC

Dawn seems even more freaked than I am about the whole being in character thing. I try to smile. "Hey, I'd do pretty much anything to help out my friends," I say, hoping this means she'll hand over the script. "Like try to get them unspelled."

A sudden thought occurs to me--I hadn't seen Sophie at the fight. Did she even know? "Um, did anyone see Sophie? Think she knows what happened? Maybe Jordy will call her when he comes to..."

mightbeweird April 20 2005, 07:30:47 UTC

"Who is Sophie?" I ask.

_janice_ April 20 2005, 07:34:31 UTC

I look surprised. "Uh, you know, Juliet." I keep forgetting to play along, that they think of each other by character names. "Capulet girl? You said Romeo was less melancholy, well let's just say she's why. They're in love, so I figure maybe Jor--er, Romeo will let her know what happened."

mightbeweird April 20 2005, 07:48:50 UTC

"Capulet girl. I,me, I am a fool. She is the one he was interested in wooing so long ago." I did not think my words would have had this influence.
"This does much to explain his actions. but how can this be? Is she not intended for Paris?"

_janice_ April 20 2005, 07:54:10 UTC

I frown. Who the hell is Paris? Is one of the cast playing him? I can't remember if he has any scenes or he's like Rosaline, only mentioned. "Um, I don't know. I just know Juliet asked me to deliver a necklace to Romeo and he said he was in love with her." I'm not mentioning the rest of that conversation. I think of the play, Juliet was upset because Tybalt was her cousin or something, right? "I guess she'll be pretty upset about Tybalt, too."

mightbeweird April 20 2005, 08:19:16 UTC

"Aye. She was much beloved of her cousin."

So much heartache and grief. these scripts are much too light to weigh so heavy on a heart. To burn all this pain away... To let go of my feelings.

"I cannot." I pause realizing I must explain myself better, though my thoughs are jumbled. "I...If what you say is true...Then there is some purpose behind what has happened. Someone has set the role I am to play. I will discover who is responsible and they shall discover their folly on my swords point."
It is too much like a second death. If my feelings burn to ashes, Mercutio will be dead twice over and who will remember him then.

_janice_ April 20 2005, 08:45:40 UTC

Dammit. Guess she won't be handing over the script, she feels she needs to play something out, but crap. I want it to end, now! I want my real friends back!

I sigh, and look to Dawn to see if she has any ideas, but she's being avoidy. "Well...okay." Miss Dante had said burning the scripts might not be enough anyway. I'd still try to get the rest of them.

"I should probably get home, Mom's gonna be wondering why I'm not home yet." It was dark out and she'd be home by now, and I hadn't called. Oh crap, how was I gonna act like nothing was wrong with her?
