[ Looking pretty distressed here. And yes. He is holding up his nifty skull friend, Klaus. ]

Hark! I talketh like Hamlet!

England, thine wretched tongue hath stolen my lips!
The blame falls on thee for this, thine curse!
Werefore doth mine heart thrum with dischord
and woe befalls mine life?

Thou art a cruel man.
Aye, my words hath always fallen on deaf ears.
Across the universe or the ocean—
dost it matter?

I couldst have thou by thy ear
and thou wouldst not hear!

Couldst I not sing a catch
to profess mine inner universe? Apparently not!
I hath been cursed! A final spell
to strike the hero from his glory!

And ye lot doth understand me not!
I doth not understand meself!
Only thee, friend—

[ he holds up Klaus to his face ]

be mine only salvation.

[ I suck with Shakespeare. Post ends with America crying dramatically. Possibly about knives, poisons, to be or not to be, something about roses and fairies and crossdressing, who the fuck knows. ]

Comments

you don't suck get out

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

A-America... you too, I see.

( video; )false black bear

[starspangledhero]

[ he has a tinge of crazy desperation to him. like Hamlet. it does not help he is still holding the skull. ]

Woe doth encompass me!
I shalt not let the same fate befall thee!
Sonnets are mine enemy!

[ hugging the skull close to his chest ]

Klaus, don't let dark thoughts take me!

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

... I-I'm going to be just fine, there's no need to fret.

Where did you get that skull?

( video )

[starspangledhero]

Klaus hails from the prairie.
Upon a darkened night didst we meet,
I, trapped in memories of days long passed,
didst encounter a man, too, whose days hath passed-
where we doth differ be that I am Manifest in flesh
and his Destiny done as he be but bone and shadow.

...The Dane and I befriended him upon becoming drawn thro copious imbibing of ale.

( video ) omg jenna this is gorgeous wtf /punches

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. So you... found a skeleton and-- ...

... you brought it back to Discedo? Why? He should be laid to rest!

( video ) dsajrkl;ewafg FALSSSEEEE /punches back

[starspangledhero]

Only the skull didst we take!
Wouldst thou leave thy friend to suffer alone?!
His body t'was mired in decayed remains!
Only his mind couldst I save!

( video ) NO WHAT THE HELL DUDE AND UNLIKE SHAKESPEARE *I LIKE READING IT* ;A;

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

That's rather kind of you as far as intention is concerned, but you--that's desecrating remains! The dead don't have thought or consciousness, that's what being dead is.

Please tell me you at least cleaned the skull after bringing it back.

( video ) ONLY BECAUSE I'M TOTALLY BULLSHITTING ELIZBEATHAN VOCAB

[starspangledhero]

He spake and didst demand a drink.
'Tis like that of one which wakes;
thirst takes hold of thyself after sleep hath dried thy body,
and what sleep be greater than death?
And who dost never sleep but Death?

Though Death thirsts only for souls,
death doth thirst for life.
We didst not give him the Water of Life,
but, in substitute, the Dane didst bathe him in Spirits!

( video ) SO WHAT HE COINED LIKE THOUSANDS OF WORDS. FIGHT THE POWA, MAN

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

... You were drunk, and you simply imagined him speaking.

I cannot believe I'm listening to this.

( video ) /MISUSES WORDS LIKE THE WIND YEAHHHHH

[starspangledhero]

I meant to save a friend, not cast him into unrest!
Is that what I hath done?!

[ wailing. sob. ]

( video )

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

I... don't... know. I-I suppose... you're keeping him company, aren't you?

( video )

[starspangledhero]

[ s-sniffle ;w; ]

Aye...

( video )

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

That's good, then. Keep him company.

[starspangledhero]

[ SUDDENLY. HOLDING UP A DAGGER. Well, butter knife, but hey, with this guy's strength, it could do some real damage. ]

Klaus, thy loneliness will be abated
Let this dagger deliver me to where I'm fated!

[ America raises the knife and topples backwards onto the floor with a loud THUNK. Aaannndd silence. ]

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

A-America? America?

temp. off candy.

[kongeriget]

YA FOUND KLAUS!

damn you

[starspangledhero]

Aye! He be the only one who shalt understand the madness that doth take hold!

that or he's on honesty candy and it does nothing.

[kongeriget]

He's a pretty cool guy!

honesty candy is too hard for america because he's too clueless

[starspangledhero]

'Tis true.
As Hamlet had Horatio, I hath Klaus.
Though I know him not in life,
friendship came in death.

[kongeriget]

That was deep…

[starspangledhero]

'Tis an effect of this curse-
But wit and fair words art not just payment
for being distraught as I am-
as the curse hath made me!

I weepeth.



Sobeth.

[kongeriget]

Cheer up!

[starspangledhero]

Wherefore?

I reacheth, but I fall
and the stars art nighted.

[kongeriget]

I know that play, too! Go eat more candy, since that's what's causing all this!

[starspangledhero]

Aha! So the candy 'tis that that beshrews me!

O, happy dagger!
This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die!

...Er, let thee die!

[ stabbing the candy with a steak knife. ]

this is beautiful and you know it

[dustedsunlight.livejournal.com]

your drawing is far more beautiful

[starspangledhero]

[ And assuming this is action, he's going to sniffle loudly and cease his sniveling for a few moments. Now he's just wibbling. That is a proper verb shush. ]

My visage?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully Danny had recovered from his own encounter with telling the truth in haiku. Even better, no one had mentioned the word ghost in front of him. It had still been traumatizing, okay?]

...I hate poetry.

[starspangledhero]

Make this madness cease!
The works of Elliot, Dickinson, Cummings, and Frost
art a beauty; unattainable at present.
Curse thee, Shakespeare!

Pfffft that owns my attempt at Shakespeare

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

[Just...staring. At you. And eternally thankful that she has recovered from her own bout of Shakespeareanism.]

...Mr. America? You even got a skull?

just wait til you see my tags. IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO DO A POST sob.

[starspangledhero]

Klaus be his name
prairieland be that whence he came.

IT'S OKAY I love this...even if I pity America...

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

How did you find...er, Klaus?

[starspangledhero]

A jaunce thro the lowlands
south to the lone-star, led by Denmark!
In a house yonder the river lay his bones
and upon discovery a friendship kindled!
'Twas made firm by ale and Hamlet recitations!

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

...oh.

Well...you should stop talking like that in a while. I mean, that's what happened with me.

[starspangledhero]

Yea.

'Til the hour strikes
my life remains in strife!

Did thine heart beg and cry?
Didst thou dream to die?

Damn thee, Shakespeare!
Thy tradgedies doth infest my mind
and words corrupt my tongue!

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

...sounds like you've got it worse than I did.

Don't worry, Mr. America! You'll be back to normal soon! And maybe we should both keep away from the candy from now on.

[starspangledhero]

O wretched fate! Thou must pry the only sweets in my life too?!

WHERE ART THOU, DAGGER?!

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

A-are you looking for a real dagger, or is that just the candy?

[starspangledhero]

The instrument of steel!

[ he won't actually stab himself. he'll just feign it dramatically. OH, SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDIES. ]

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

I...don't think it's a good idea for you to have a dagger while you're...like this. Be careful, okay?

[starspangledhero]

Take care of my kin shouldst I fall into death's embrace!

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

...I will, don't worry! P-protecting people is the job of a noble thief!

[That was about the safest thing she could think of to say.]

[starspangledhero]

Then let thy tears fall
and thy heart rejoice my freedom withal.

[ /ded. ...not really. ]
