3rd Floor Common Room [Friday Night]

Still leery of the energy emanating from the 2nd Floor Common Room, Bridge decides to move up a floor. He's sprawled on a couch, reading a book he'd bought from the Book Fair, with several other books spread out on the couch around him.

"So what do you think the tyger is, then? I just thought he was outside human mores." Parker cocked her head, and took another bite of her cupcake.
multiplez: (Let's be serious.)

"Well, yeah, he's amoral. What does he care if he's gotta kill something to eat? That's just how he's made. Also?" Z held out the book. "That kitty in the engraving doesn't look too scary to me."

Parker leaned over and looked, then grinned. "No, scary, he is not. The language is great, though. Mostly the rhythm of it." She flipped through her copy of Cyrano. "Like this play. Lousy, stupid logic. Great insults and seduction bits."
multiplez: (thoughtful Z)

[personal profile] multiplez 2006-06-10 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Z frowned. "What's that about?"

"A guy with many virtues-- bravery, wit, charm, honor, kindness-- so convinced he's ugly, that he woos the woman he loves through another guy." Parker shook her head. "He seduces her with words, but the handsome soldier idiot gets the credit."
multiplez: (Are you for real?)

"Does he at least win her over in the end?"

"Right before he dies. Great death scene." Parker made a face at the book. "She should have figured it out eons sooner. God, Roxane's an idiot."
multiplez: (Z says huh?)

"He gets the girl and then dies? Man, this is not a happy play, is it?"

"Except parts of it are so..." Parker paged through, trying to find her favorite bit.

"Sorry, my lord, to baffle you with hard
Technical expressions. I'll explain.
Three eight-lined stanzas and then one quatrain.
The quatrain's called an envoy. I propose
To fight, and, at the same time, to compose
A ballade of strict classical design,
And then to kill you on the final line."

Parker grinned. "And then he does."
multiplez: (Sassy Z)

"Despite the killination, I think I kinda like this guy. He's got sass."

[identity profile] mparkerceo.livejournal.com 2006-06-10 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup. A lot of sass. Too bad his lady isn't worth it." Parker made a face. "But yeah, the play survives on its panache."
