Popeland: Yes I know Halloween hasn't even passed yet but If the next chapter takes as long as this one did....... So enjoy chapter 2!!
(The stage curtains are closed as the cast members try and recover after the first scene. To pass the time hymns are being played to the audience)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh!
Me: Dammit Faustus!!! I said hymns!!
Faustus: that isn't a hymn?
Me: No that's a Christmas song!
Faustus: Oh right.... Heh heh.... sorry about that
Me: *sigh* Alright people! Back to work the audience is getting restless!!
Kain: Audience? Who's in the audience?
Me: the regulars. Peasants, nobles....
Kain: ah right
Me: *Mutters* few dozen Sarafan..... Anyway, Places people!!!!
(The curtain opens but the stage is dark)
Mysterious voice 1: damn! I can't see where I'm going
Mysterious voice 2: ahhh!! Get off my foot
Mysterious voice 3: somebody's touching my hair!!
Mysterious voice 4: are we there yet?
All voices except 4: No!!!!
(The lights come on reveal the shepherds/lieutenants)
Zephon: this trek to Jerusalem is a long and dangerous trip
Turel: yeah lucky this is only a play
Rahab: *elbows Turel* but we near our target, my friend
Turel: Owww! Why did you hit me! Is it because no one supposed to know it's a play? That's it isn't it!
(Dumah snaps his fingers and several large men dressed in black drag Turel off stage)
Turel: NOOOOO!!!!! You'll never silence me!!! The people have a right to know!!! This is all being planned.... Badly!!
Melchiah: anyway, Look to the heavens my friends. A heavenly choir!....... I said Heavenly choir!
(A rope falls in the center of the stage and Malek slides down it)
Malek: I am the Angel of light! Your journey will be a long and treacherous one who must be prepared for dangers beyond belief. But you must find the lady of the lake and reclaim excalibur for king Arthur!
Popeland's voice: Wrong lines!! Stop!!
Malek: Er......carry on
(Malek tries to climb back up the rope but slips and falls on to the stage. Several men in black walk on stage and drag him off)
Rahab:...... well you heard the angel come on!
(The lieutenants shuffle offstage quickly and the stage fades to black)
(The stage lights up to reveal the harsh desert/beach scenery once more. The wise men walk on stage)
Raziel: we draw closer to the new messiah!
Vorador: Hope he better than the old one
Janos: Yeah, that idiot needed a 58 miles of mural before he could figure anything out
Raziel: *sniff* that's just so low....... I mean no one ever tried to help me! I don't recall anyone giving me gifts of ...
(Stage goes dark)
Janos: *stage flashes * Gold!
Vorador: *stage flashes * Frankie Goes to Hollywood T-shirt!!
Raziel: *stage flashes *Rock!!!..... hold on a second! Frankie Goes to Hollywood T-shirt?!
Vorador: Well frankincense isn't that great is it? I mean it smells nice and all but it's hardly 100% cotton now is it?
Raziel: I suppose..... but it's no ROCK!! I can tell you....
Janos: ..... I'm stuck with a bunch of idiots....
(The wisemen walk off stage and it fades to black )
(The stage lights up again to show Kain and Umah sitting in a car)
Umah: Oh this long and tiresome trip to Jerusalem is a draining trip.... Mind the pedestrian dear
Kain: he's on the footpath.....
Umah: yes but he might leap out infront of us
Kain: right...... you did call ahead and book the hotel right?
Umah: no, why on earth would I do that?
Kain: look, I don't want to be stuck in a barn for the night or something okay?
Umah: yeah like that would ever happen....
(There is a tense silence)
Umah: I'm guessing from the silence you too have noticed the Sarafan regiment watching us
Kain: indeed
Umah: do you think they saw us?
Kain: I think it's safe to assume they did. Now if you would be so kind as to but on your seatbelt there ,honey
Umah: why certainly
(The car starts and speeds off stage. There is a loud crash and several bricks fall back onto the stage. The stage fades to black and backstage we see a rather shocked Popeland)
Popeland: okay..... who's idea was it to give them a REAL CAR?!!..... No, scratch that, who's idea was it TO GIVE THEM A CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!?!!
Bane: ah yes, I'm very proud of that little scene
You see the car is a reflection of the inner turmoil in Joseph heart
Popeland: *Now missing quite a few marbles* Bane? Could you come here a minute and bring that flame thrower with you?
Bane: Okay..... here you go...... hey what are you doing?!! Arghh!!!
(Popeland sets bane on fire)
Popeland: NYHAHHAHAHA!! Now I'm going out for a while, I need time to drink! I'm leaving you in charge Anarcrothe!!
(Popeland storms out)
Anarcrothe: All right!....... now Faustus, do you think you could rig up some sort of giant spaceship for the manger scene?
Anarcrothe: Just wait for the next chapter to see my full creative genius!!
It'll probably be written quicker than this one was...... I hope
