Romeo and Juliet ~ Touya and Keikou Plush walked out onto the stage wearing black. She turned on her CD player and started rapping. "Oh wait… This is Shakespeare." She commented to herself as she hurriedly changed into a loose, long sleeved shirt that was a light orange colour, and white pants with frills at the collar and sleeves. Her pants were white and baggy, and she switched her blue baseball hat for an orange poet’s. Then, she pulled out a finely crafted dagger with colourful jewels in the hilt from her belt and stabbed herself in the chest. "And thus, I die…" She fell back with her arms sprawled out. "Anou, Plush-chan, you’re just the chorus…" Nekoko sweat dropped, as she poked her head out from backstage. "You don’t die." "Oh, right!" Plush jumped up and pulled the dagger out of her chest, and threw it backstage. Then she pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off her shirt. "Oww!" Someone called from backstage. "Sorry!" Plush apologized with a sweat drop. She cleared her throat, and began the prologue. "Okay!" She struck a pose. "This is HOOK’s version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Or, if you want it’s proper name, Touya and Keikou! "Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge, break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventured piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents’ strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love and the continuance of their parents’ rage, which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage; the which, if you with patient ears attend, what here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." Plush took a large, extensive sweeping bow, with lots of arm twirling, and then walked off backstage. |
