Who: You, you, and you!
When: Day 1, evening
Where: Outside of town, a ways over there
What: A labyrinth in the form of a social bingo!

[later that day you hear that obnoxious horn sound, the one that would be sounded when they discovered a labyrinth. you follow this sound past the town and wind up at a set of stairs leading into the the ground. by these stairs is a sign reading HEAD ON IN. though you might normally be inclined to dilly dally, you're inexplicably drawn to walk down those stairs...]



[the stairs leading down to this "labyrinth" are absolutely grandeur. when you reach the foot of the steps, you become dressed to the nines in some kind of formal wear, like what you'd wear to a fancy ball... which would explain the room before you: you've stepped into a large ballroom. ballad music plays, tables line the wall, and is that a complimentary buffet table next to the wet bar? on the far back wall of this space are a pair of double doors, settled underneath an inaccessible balcony.]

My, my, my, my, m~y!

[a voice rings out from above—and an indistinguishable figure appears on that balcony, looking down at you with a hungry grin; their low voice is upbeat, but oddly smooth]

I've never had guests before! Oh, but you weren't invited... Tsk, tsk! Why, a bunch like you look like you could cause me problems... How troublesome! Oh, troublesome indeed! Still, unlike that royal kindergartener, I am actually kind enough to throw you a party! She didn't do that for you, now, did she? Hahahaha!

[they're still laughing when a bingo card materializes in your hand. between their laughter and constant chatter, they don't seem to be giving you much room to say anything. when their laughter stops, they speak again, their voice taking on a grisly tone]

If I'm going down, I want entertainment, you hear me? And there's only one way I want to go... Do you know BINGO? Must I spell it? Remind you that it's his NAME-O? Ha! You must do what you can to complete a row, or two rows, or the WHOLE CARD! If you do well, you'll earn more than just my dear palace's erasure...!

[they laugh, their laughter growing louder by the second, resonating through the spacious room—then it abruptly stops. just as quickly as that "person" appeared, they disappear, leaving behind nothing but a cloud of black smoke that quickly dissipates into thin air]

I'm watch~ing!

It's a couple more worlds than just Heaven and Earth represented here.

Point. Shakespeare was working with a more limited cosmology.
ninetyninelives: (of milky winter disorder)

That's... the English guy?

Yeah. The quote was from Hamlet, one of his more famous plays.

I don't think class has covered him. We still need to get through Japanese literature.

[personal profile] whopraysfor 2015-08-28 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Are you living in Japan, then?
whopraysfor: (happy)

Then I imagine there's plenty of classics you've read in school that I've not.
ninetyninelives: (i'm going you tell me)

[personal profile] ninetyninelives 2015-08-29 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, probably. My brother is the big reader, though.

Ah. I'm an only child, myself.

How old are you?

[personal profile] whopraysfor 2015-08-29 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Twenty seven.
ninetyninelives: (you got to hit'em to the hip)

[personal profile] ninetyninelives 2015-08-29 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
No kids of your own then?

[personal profile] whopraysfor 2015-08-29 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[shakes his head]

I'm Catholic and a few months from becoming a priest. It means I can't marry.
ninetyninelives: (and get your shake on)

[personal profile] ninetyninelives 2015-08-29 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh. I couldn't do that, I want grandkids.
whopraysfor: (happy)

[personal profile] whopraysfor 2015-08-29 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

Don't you need to have kids first?
ninetyninelives: (no hiding my feeling)

[personal profile] ninetyninelives 2015-08-29 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm planning ahead!
whopraysfor: (happy)

[personal profile] whopraysfor 2015-08-29 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

As long as you're aware there are intermediate steps.
ninetyninelives: (give me the afternoon)

[personal profile] ninetyninelives 2015-08-29 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I want to get a wife and a job I like.

Sounds good to me.
