ACT TWO of ESCAFLOWNE PERFORMS MACBETH by Feye Morgan

Feye: Aaaannd we're back with Act Two! Let's not waste any time! Ok, Gaddess, Prince Chid, you're on!

**Gaddess and Prince Chid enter the stage, with Chid holding a torch**

Dilandau (offstage): Go on kid! Burn something!!!!

**Feye kicks the albino**

Gaddess: How goes the night, boy?

Chid: The moon is down. I have not yet heard the clock.

Gaddess: And she goes down at twelve.

Chid: I take 't 'tis later, sir.

Merle *muttering offstage*: Oh, the brilliance, kid.

Gaddess: Hold, take my sword.
There's husbandry in heaven;
Their candles are all out, take thee that too.
A heavy summons lies like lead upon me,
And yet I could not sleep...

Feye: Allen, you're on soon. Hey, oh no! We don't have a spare torch!

Dilandau: Here Allen! You can borrow my flamethrower!

**Feye eyes Dilandau suspiciously. Dilandau opens his ruby eyes wide, the epitome of innocence**

Feye: Hmm...

**Dilandau hurriedly shoves the weapon into Allen's confused hands, and shoves him onstage**

Gaddess: Who's there?

Allen: A friend.

**Gaddess and Allen exchange formalities**

Gaddess: I dreamt last night of the three Weird Sisters.
To you they have showed some truth.

Allen: I think not of them.

**The tarot cards come flying at Allen from offstage, knocking him senseless**

Merle (offstage): Good thing Allen doesn't have any sense in the first place. Probably didn't hurt him much at all.

**Sure enough, Allen shakes his head confusedly, and continues on. Gaddess and Chid exit, and Allen dismisses his servant. His eyes open wide as he sees a vision of a dagger**

Allen: Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle towards my hand?

Dilandau *sing-song voice*: Allen is a phsyyychoooo!

**Feye kicks Dilandau**

Van: Look who's talking.

**Dilandau twitches and rubs his scar**

Dilandau: Chiku... Chiku...

Van: See what I mean, Hitomi?

Dilandau: Grrr... **Dilandau tackles Van and wraps his fingers around his neck**

Feye: HEY! NO FIGHTING!

**Dilandau and Van are turning blue, their hands around each other's throats**

Hitomi: Stop it, you two!

**Hitomi hits them both on their heads with her pendant**

Van and Dilandau: Ouch!

Millerna: Now that wasn't very ladylike!

**Hitomi & Co. beat Millerna unconscious**

All: O.O

**Feye turns back to the play, while Eires tries to revive Millerna**

Eires: What did you have to do that for? She's in the next scene!

**Sure enough, a bell rings, signaling the end of Allen's soliloquy, and the end of scene one**

Allen: I go, and it is done. The bell invites me.
Hear it not, Dornkirk, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to Hell.

**He exits**

**Allen steps inside the curtain, and his eyes fall on Millerna**

Allen: SHE'S DEAD! YAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :D

**Allen dances. Millerna opens a groggy eye**

Millerna: Sweety pumpkin lovey-dovey kissey-poo! You're trying to make me feel better! Come here and let me give you are smoochie-poochie!

**Allen trips and gags**

Feye: Go on, you two! Scene two is starting.

**Millerna enters the stage, and a crestfallen Allen waits for his offstage line**

Millerna: That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold.

Van (yelling from offstage): MILLERNA'S A DRUNKARD!!!

Eires: Grrr...*slap*

**Van yelps and Dilandau snickers**

Allen: Who's there?

Millerna: Hark!-I laid their daggers ready;
He could not miss 'em. Had he not resembled
My father as he slept, I had done't.

Dilandau (yelling from offstage): YOU FATHER? YEAH! I CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE!

**Millerna twitches. Feye glares at the albino. Allen stifles a laugh as he enters the stage with the flamethrower**

Hitomi (offstage): Isn't Allen already to have killed Dornkirk?

Feye: Well, yeah, but I decided to add in a scene, since I though there was one that had probably originally been cut.

Hitomi: What scene?

Feye: Dornkirk's assassination.

Hitomi: Oh.

Dilandau: Oooo...fire...destruction...

Folken: Just make sure your weapon doesn't ricochet back at you, Allen!

Feye: *raised eyebrow*

Folken: Just thought of that, for some reason...

Allen *staring at the videoscreen nervously*: I don't think I can do this.

Millerna: OH GO ON ALLEN-POOSERS! KILL HIM!!!!!

Dilandau: For once, I agree with her.

Allen: B-but, but I might get soiled with battery fluids from the videoscreen!!

**Feye rolls her eyes**

Feye: Hey Allen!

**Allen turns, blinking**

Feye: Dornkirk used his fate alterating machine to smash all your bottles of per...calogne!

**Allen turns purple**

Allen: DIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

**Allen torches the videoscreen and everying within a six-foot radius**

Dilandau: MOEROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Heh. Ooo. Fire...

All: O.O

Merle: Wow. Allen unleashed.

Feye: Hey. Whatever works.

**Allen walks over to Millerna**

Millerna: My husband?

Allen: *wince* I have done the deed. Dids't thou not hear a noise?

Millerna: I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.

Allen *startled*: What?!?!? -Natal- is here???? (AN that -is- the name of his owl, isn't it?)

Dalet: No you moron! Not -your- owl!

**A very familiar owl swoops in, colliding with Dalet's face poking out from the curtains**

Dalet: OW!!!

**Allen chuckles**

Millerna: Did you not speak?

Allen: When?

Millerna: Now.

Allen: As I descended?

Millerna: Ay.

Allen: Nope.

Millerna: &*%%##$@

Feye: O.O

Allen: Who lies I' th' second chamber?

Millerna: Van.

Allen: There's one did laugh in his sleep, and one cried, "Murder!"

Dilandau: HA! VAN IS SCHIZO!

Van: I am NOT!

Merle: That would be -you- Dilandau.

**Dilandau snarles and pulls Merle's tail viciously. Merle slashes him lightly on the cheek. Dilandau's eyes go VERY wide**

Dilandau: M-My face...YAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

**Dilandau hurtles himself at Merle**

Dilandau: I'M GONNA TAN YOUR FUZZY HIDE!

Hitomi: Break it up!

**Dilandau secures a death-grip on Merle's throat**

Feye: Dilandau! Stop, or I'll turn you into Serena!

**Dilandau lets go of Merle as if she was made of white-hot iron**

Feye: Thank you.

**Dilandau fiddles with his scratch, while glaring at Feye. Feye pointedly ignores him, focusing back on the play. Allen has just stated that he will 'sleep no more' because of the murder he has done. Millerna tells Allen to put the flamethrower into the unconscious guards' hands and smear them with Dornkirk's...battery fluid...**

Allen: I'll go no more.
I am afraid to think what I have done.
Look on 't again I dare not.

Millerna: Wussy boy. Gimme the flamethrower. I'LL do it.

**Millerna exits with the flamethrower and the smouldering videoscreen. Allen hears some knocking from outside, and tries to wash the battery fluid off with water. Millerna comes back, battery fluid soaking her hands**

Dilandau: I HOPE YOU GET MERCURY POISONING!

Feye: Shut -up- Dilandau.

Millerna: My hands are of your color, but I shame
To wear a heart so white.

Hitomi: Your heart ain't white, sister.

Feye: That's what she's saying.

Hitomi: ...oh.

**Millerna and Allen hear the knocking again, and run away offstage. A porter walks onstage, comments on how lousy the night has been, and lets onstage Dilandau-sama and Chesta**

Dilandau: Why the hell are you up this late, porter?

Porter: Faith, sir, we were carousing till the second cock,
And drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things.

**The porter tells Dilandau the three things, and earns himself a slap**

Dilandau: I believe drink gave you the lie last night.

Porter: That it did, sir.

Dilandau: Is your master stirring?

**Allen enters**

Dilandau: Our knocking has awakened him. Here he comes.

**Porter exits**

Chesta *cowering*: G-g-good m-morrow, n-noble sir.

Feye: *glowering*: Chesta! We -aren't- doing Escaflowne! He's not going to try to kill you!

Dilandau: Is the king stirring, poufy knight?

Feye: DILANDAU!

Allen *with gritted teeth*: Not yet.

Dilandau: He did command me to call timely on him.
I have almost slipped the hour.

Allen: I'll bring you to him.

Dilandau: I know this is a joyful trouble to you,
But yet, 'tis one.

**Dilandau exits to check on Dornkirk**

Chesta: the night has been unruly. Where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down, and
Lamentings heard i' the' air, strange screams of death.

Allen: 'Twas a rough night.

**Dilandau enters**

Dilandau: O horror, horror, horror!

Allen and Chesta: What's the matter?

Dilandau: Dornkirk is dead!
See then speak yourselves!

**Allen and Chesta exit**

Dilandau: Ring the alarum bell-Murder and treason!
Gaddess and Van, Folken, awake!

**The bell rings. Millerna enters**

Millerna: What's going on?

Dilandau: Oh creepy witch, 'tis not for you to hear what I can speak.

**Gaddess enters**

Dilandau: O Gaddess, Gaddess,
Our royal master's murdered.

Millerna: Woe, Alas!

Merle (offstage): Oh, like you're sorry!

Feye: Quiet! Now that Dilandau's onstage, it's been rather peaceful back here, and I'm enjoying it!

Gaddess: Dear Dilly, I prithee, contradict thyself
And say 'tis not so!

Dilandau: DON'T CALL ME DILLY!

Feye: Dilandau! Chill! Banquo really does call MacDuff by a nickname, so Gaddess has to also!

**Allen, Chesta, and Dalet enter**

Allen: had I but died an hour before this chance-

Dilandau: Yeah, I wish you had too.

Feye: DILAN-oh forget it.

**Folken and Van enter**

Van: What is amiss?

Allen: You are, and do not know't.

Dilandau: Your royal father's murdered.

Folken: O, by whom?

Chesta: The guards, it seems.

Allen: O, yet I do repent me of my fury,
That I did kill them.

Dilandau: Why did you kill them?

**Allen rambles, and Millerna gets worried that he will talk too much, and give them away. So, as a diversion, she pretends to faint**

Millerna: Help me hence!

Dilandau: Look to the creepy witch.

**After some insistance, Millerna is helped offstage**

Gaddess: Whomever did this, I'm gonna kill 'im. I swear!

Dilandau: And so do I.

**All but Van and Folken exit. Backstage, Feye and the rest are buttering hot, fresh popcorn**

Dilandau: POPCORN!!!!!!!!

Feye: You only get some if you behave, O flaming pyro.

**Dilandau gives Feye puppy-dog eyes**

Feye: You heard me.

**Dilandau sulks**

**Back onstage, Folken and Van are worried that they will be next to die. Van decides to run away to Ireland. Folken decides to go to England**

Van: There's daggers in men's smiles. The near in blood,
The nearer bloody.

**They exit. Dalet and and Old Man are dragged away from the popcorn and are shoved onstage**

Old Man: Mrpmemurlemph.

Feye: Swallow your popcorn.

Old Man: I have seen strange things, but this sore
Night hath trifled former knowings.

**Dalet agrees, and remarks on a solar eclipse that happened that day**

Old man: 'Tis unnatural, On Tuesday last
A falcon, tow'ring in her pride of place,
Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.

Allen *shouting from offstage*: YEAH YOU GO NATAL!!!!!!!!

**Feye kicks Allen**

Feye: You want popcorn, Allen? Behave.

Chesta: And Dornkirk's horses broke from their stalls and ate each other.

Millerna: EWWWWWWW!!

**Dilandau enters, hiding a bag of pocorn under his costume**

Feye: Unless you've turned into Serena, I'm guessing that's food stuffed under your shirt. Give it back, NOW!

**Dilandau turns bright crimson. But instead of bringing the popcorn back, he downs it in one gulp**

Feye: Um, wow.

Hitomi: He's gonna die of a heart attack is he eats much more of that stuff.

Merle: is that one of your predictions? Of course, that's good news, so it can't possibly be.

**The pendant whips up and attempts to strangle Merle. For once, Feye ignores the, and lets Hitomu restrain her necklace**

Dilandau: Van and Folken, the King's two sons,
Are stol'n away and fled, which puts upon them
Suspicion of the deed.

Chesta: Then 'tis most like
The sovereignty will fall upon Allen Schezar.

Dilandau: He is already named, and has gone to Scone.

Chesta: Will you to Scone?

Dilandau: No, cousin, I'll to Fife.

Old Man: God's benison go with you and with those
That would have good of bad and friends of foes.

**All exit**

All: POPCOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Feye: Well, I guess they deserve it. After all, none of them are dead...yet... And to you readers! Review with constructve criticism and opinions! Helpful flames are welcome, as it happens to be minus thirty Farenheit, and quite chilly. Next up, Act THREE!!!!
