Pendragon XIX - [Action/Voice]

Jul 04, 2011 16:24

Perhaps someone can straighten things out here. I've found this nice copy of Romeo and Juliet to read, since it's been some time since I was first introduced to it. However when I read about the author, it seemed to insist that Shakespeare was from some place called England, as opposed to Harmonia, as is common knowledge. I realize most of you ( Read more... )

[voice]. [action], shakespeare is a lie!!, it's amazing that this is canon

Who cares where he was from? The story was boring anyway.

[voice] tintobrat July 5 2011, 11:30:47 UTC

You would think that, wouldn't you?

[voice] mydearapple July 6 2011, 08:53:26 UTC

I would. Just like you would think it matters where he came from.

Until I was corrected... several times, it was perfectly reasonable to assume the Malnosso were spreading lies in the library. [A pause.] That might be the case, still.

[... Does she even.]

Perhaps the references from your world just haven't arrived yet, or won't at all. Earth seems to be one of the more common ones in regards to literature.

Don't you get started too, Raine! [She's already been told she's wrong enough times, already!]

[It's not as if she was saying she was wrong. After all, look who she associates with. And given the situation in her own world, she's used to two different sources of things existing simultaneously.]

Fine, fine. Actually, I think it's very fascinating that these coincidences exist.

[Lilly is just preempting any attempts to call her wrong, that's all.]

A fascinating annoyance, perhaps. It seems that the England Shakespeare is more real by virtue of more people knowing of him.

No way sugar, Shakespeare is definitely from England.

[Voice] tintobrat July 8 2011, 20:30:53 UTC

So I've been told. [A huff.] Somehow there's more than one that wrote the same thing in more than one world. Or the same one writing in more than one world.

Parallel universe theory, you've heard of it? So if there are infinite possibilities for the infinite number of choices, throw in the idea that even a bunch of monkeys pounding on a keyboard could possibly repeat the works of Shakespeare by accident -- the odds are ridiculous, but it's hypothetically possible.

Or, Shakespeare was just an alien from another planet and existed in several places to show off his works everywhere. Who knows, he was rather before his time.

[Voice] tintobrat July 13 2011, 00:24:37 UTC

I think you're putting far, far too much thought into this. [Monkey and aliens? Jeez.]

[When Lilly gets home, Marica will be at the kitchen table with a sandwich, frowning at a science textbook. It has insultingly large print and a healthy dosage of colorful pictures plastered across its pages. She leans out for a look at the front door when she hears it open.]

Oh, hey, Lilly.

tintobrat July 9 2011, 12:21:55 UTC

[As Lilly is passing by, she returns the greeting and takes a glance at what she's reading.]

Well that looks boring. Isn't school over?

realityanchor July 9 2011, 17:15:22 UTC

Yeah. I just felt a little... behind, is all. [More like totally clueless and practically failing.]

What're those books you've got there?

tintobrat July 13 2011, 00:17:16 UTC

Oh, these? Just some novels, that's all.

[She won't say what they are, though. Usually she prefers the more adventure-flavored items, or things with political intrigue and mystery. These are... well, romance novels.]

What are you studying?
