A Day At The Opera
One day, Locke, Celes and their friends went to see a play at the newfangled Opera House in Jidoor.
Halfway into the play, Gau began to whine. "Me need to go to bathroom!" he cried, tugging on the person sitting to his left's arm.
"Now?!" Sabin asked in disbelief. "In the middle of the greatest,most celebrated play in the history of the world, you have to go to the BATHROOM?!"
"Me can help it," Gau said piteously.
"Still thy whimpering!" Cyan exclaimed. "Thou art a fool! I'LL take the little rogue!"
And so they left, tripping and stepping over peoples' feet as they went. Sabin sighed in relief and leaned back in his soft, cushy chair. He put it in "recline" mode, and it landed on top of the person in the row behind him.
Terra and Banon had left half an hour to get popcorn, but still hadn't returned. Celes got up to go look for them.
"300 gp for a small box of popcorn?!" Terra yelled at the cashier. "I could go buy a Pheonix Down with that!"
"150 gp for a soda," Banon added, going off to buy a pretzel, which would cost him 200 gp. (Salt extra, of course.)
Back in the theatre, Shadow slapped Edgar, whose mouth was hanging open. He was drooling and his eyes, which were focused directly on the stage where Maria was singing a lovely ballad, were glazed over. The young king didn't even wince.
Shadow was in a bad mood because the Impressario wouldn't let him bring Interceptor in with him. No matter WHAT he said or did.
Cyan and Gau came back. "Er...where IS the bathroom?" the Doman swordsman asked sheepishly.
Sabin ignored them, and munched on a licorice stick. (90 gp.) Then he yawned and fell asleep.
Terra and Banon returned, looking very pleased with themselves. They had bothered the cashier so much he had finally given them 5 small boxes of popcorn and 3 bottles of Diet Coke for free.
After a few minutes, Celes came back. She stared at Edgar. "Is he even BREATHING?" she asked, sticking a popcorn kernel in his open mouth.
Sabin started snoring loudly, and he rolled over, on top of Shadow, who was struggling to open a bottle of Coke.
Locke didn't feel very well. He leaned over the railing of the balcony and threw up.
"EWW!" someone below exclaimed angrily. "WHO DID THIS?!"
"Look what you did!" Celes exclaimed, clapping a hand on the treasure hunter's shoulder. "Of all the heads you could've barfed on, you just HAD to choose Kefka's, didn't you?!"
"What's HE doing at an opera?" Sabin asked, waking up because Shadow had roughly shoved him onto the floor, and had went back to trying to open the Coke bottle.
The deranged Kefka stormed up the stairs to the balcony (after whiping all the gunk with General Leo's cape, of course. The cape that costed 1000 gp, and was bought just for the occasion.) and demanded, "Okay! Which one of you vile insects had the gall to throw up on the great Kefka?!"
Locke put a hand on his stomach and retched on Kefka's feet.
"ARGH!" Kefka cried. "I have VOMIT on my boots!" Two soldiers ran up the stairs and started cleaning off his boots with OrangeGlo. He glared at them, and they scurried off.(General Leo was still staring at his vomit-stained cloak in shocked horror.)
Just then, Cyan and Gau returned from the bathroom-bumping right into the mutant General (Kefka IS a General, isn't he?!), who whacked the barbarian with his staff.
"WHAOOW! You hit Gau!" Gau cried. "Mr. Thou, do something!"
Cyan shoved Kefka off the railing roughly. "I'll give thou thy box of popcorn if thou stays in thy orchestra pit."
"Sure!" Kefka came back up, took, the popcorn and left, pushing a violinist off his chair.
"What're you DOING?!" Terra demanded. "That popcorn cost us 100 gp!"
"I thought you got it for free," Sabin objected, scratching his head.
"Well, butter was extra," Banon said, as if that explained everything. it did.
Shadow finally handed the coke bottle to Sabin.
"You're strong, you open it."
So Sabin gripped the bottle tightly and forced it open. It exploded, getting Edgar all wet, but the King of Figaro didn't even notice.
The rest of the opera passed quite uneventfully, until they were all ready to leave.
"Come, Interceptor," Shadow hissed, looking under his seat.
"I thought-HEY!" the Impressario exclaimed, and he fainted. Shadow walked out, his faithful dog behind him.
