002. [Voice + Action]
Um. So does anyone have experience writing scripts? Or an interest in theater? Because I think I could use a few pointers...
[There's a slight pause before Asbel clarifies, and a muffled thump that might be a book closing.]
It's for the upcoming talent competition. The one at the end of the month? Some of us were thinking about putting a short play together for it.
[Asbel knew it'd be a lot of work, but he hadn't thought scripts could be so tiring! He's sitting outside one of the Hold's training rooms. Excalibur lays on the bench beside him, and he has a towel draped across his neck while he tries to cool down from the morning's routine. But in his hand...is this. He'd decided to read up on what plays and fairytales he could find in the library, but this script doesn't even make any sense! How are you supposed to figure out the characters' intentions when they keep talking about completely random things?!]
[He continues to read out loud, occasionally offering his own commentary as he attempts to make heads and tales of the text.]
"When the devout religion. Of my eye maintains such falsehood, then turns tears to fires. And these, who often drowned, could never die." But wait, if they drowned, then wouldn't they already be dead?
[A groan, but he resumes.]
"Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars. One fairer than my love. The all-seeing sun never saw her match since the world first began." So...he's in love with the sun? Hold on! But that doesn't make any sense at all! I thought he was supposed to be in love with a girl from an enemy House? Why would he be in love with the sun? Unless, it means he likes riding off and doing things outdoors.
[Asbel sighs in exasperation, closing the booklet and slumping in his seat.] Okay, what the hell did I just read?
[OOC Note: CR, if they wish, are welcome to assume that Asbel has already mentioned the talent competition to them and proposed the idea of putting together a group performance of some kind.]

You're not going to perform this play are you?
no subject
Uh. Well...we haven't really decided which play to go with yet. There were actually a couple of others that also looked promising.

Really? I don't know too much about them to be honest, but we did help out a playwright in Velanik once.
Um. I'm pretty sure there was one about a girl named Alice, and another about someone from the stars who had lost his shadow.

I wouldn't have any problems with Romeo and Juliet if everyone would just speak normally... [It's his biggest obstacle here.] But you're right, the others do seem a little more accessible.
How about some of your favorite plays? What're they about?
