The Tale of the Fallen Prince [video; anon by proxy]
[A blank wall. Or a backdrop. Suddenly, the shadow of a girl with a jaunty ponytail, wearing a short skirt and puff-sleeve blouse, marches into view.]
Extra! Extra!
[The shadow pops out of view and then reappears just as abruptly, wearing a crown now. She speaks in a deeper voice.]
I'm tired of being a prince. It's so. Much. Work.
[Dramatic pointing!]
Hey you there! Pauper! You're going to be the prince while I go on vacation!
[And the crown is suddenly gone and the shadow is now wearing a poorboy cap and leaning on a crutch. In a higher pitch:]
Who, me?
[Tosses the poorboy cap aside, puts on the crown.]
I guess I'm the prince now!
[Puts on the poorboy cap, deeper voice again.]
And I'm but a nameless pauper. No responsibilities! No one to answer to! The only problem is...
[The prince in the poorboy cap watches the silhouette of an airplane fly away.]
...paupers can't afford vacations. GAAAAAH! I want to be prince again!
[And now she's the pauper in the crown again.]
How dare you make such demands of royalty, you worthless pauper! Off with his head!
[The shadow of a massive ax rises. The prince's voice can be heard.]
No! Wait! You don't understand!
[The ax rises higher.]
I'm the real prince! You can't just-
[The ax falls with a loud CHNK. And then there's silence. The video shuts off a moment later.]
