Well, a decision was made. Riff Raff is Suboshi and Magenta is Amiboshi. Mainly because I just can't picture Amiboshi saying "They never liked me." It would be fun to see Tomo whip Amiboshi, though. (imagines having the twins switch places… probably not) Thanks to those who reviewed and a slow, painful death to those who don't this time.

The way this fic seems to be working is that I write more every time I get to see RHPS myself. So (addressing Kai, Iwa-chan and anyone else I go to school with) how about buying me tickets?

Stariko: Was that the Boca RenFest? I was just there myself. So much fun.

Ah, well, story time it is….

************************************************************

(Music and storm in background as Miaka and Tamahome wander through the rain with newspaper over their heads. Audience members pull out own newspapers and squirt guns. Miaka and Tamahome see the "Enter at your own risk" sign.)

Nuriko:             How-

Hotohori:          long-

Soi:                  does-

Miboshi:           it-

Yui:                  take-

Tasuki:             to-

Ashitare:           read-

Chichiri:            five-

Chiriko:            fucking-

Amiboshi:         words?

(finally they pass the sign)

Nuriko:             Oi, Miaka, watch out for that pig-eating tree.

Soi:                  Tree, watch out for that pig!

(Tree catches on Miaka's hair. She promptly eats her way free)

Soi:                  I warned you….

(The song finally begins)

Miaka:              In the velvet darkness

Of the blackest night

Burning bright.

There's a guiding star

No matter who you are.

Tasuki:             REKKA SHIN'EN!

dodger-chan:    Hey, no open flames.

Nuriko:             (stalking off) Well!

Tasuki:             (at the same time) I'm not a fucking homosexual!

dodger-chan:    Never mind. Just go back to the song.

Miaka & Tamahome:            There's a light…

(flashlights and tessin in the air)

Phantom Voices:            Over at the Frankenstein Place.

Miboshi:           Over at the Seiryuu temple.

Miaka & Tamahome:            There's a light…

Phantom Voices:            Burning in the fireplace.

Miaka & Tamahome:            There's a light, a light

                                    In the darkness of everybody's life.

(lights go out)

Suboshi:           The darkness must go

                        Down the river of nights' dreaming

                        Flow morphia slow

                        Let the sun and light come streaming

                        Into my life.

                        Into my life.

Tasuki:             REKKA SHIN'EN!

Miaka & Tamahome:            There's a light…

(flashlights and tessin, again)

Phantom Voices:            Over at the Frankenstein Place.

Soi:                  Over at the Seiryuu temple.

Miaka & Tamahome:            There's a light…

Phantom Voices:            Burning in the fireplace.

                                    There's a light, a light

Miaka & Tamahome:            In the darkness of everybody's life.

Ashitare:           And so it seemed that fortune had smiled-

Nuriko:             Unlike your neck!

Ashitare:           on Brad and Janet and that they had found the assistance that their plight required.

Hotohori:          Are you sure?

Ashitare:           Or had they?

Miaka:              Oh, Brad. Lets go back. I'm cold and I'm frightened. And I'm hungry.

Miboshi:           That's just because you're a pig.

Tamahome:       Just a moment, Janet. They may have a telephone. (rings doorbell)

Yui:                  Ding-dong, Miser calling.

Soi:                  Pig for sale!

Suboshi:           (Barely restrains murderous rage.) Hello.

Tamahome:       (Likewise) Uh-oh- hi. I'm Brad Majors.

Tasuki:             Miser!

Tamahome:       And this is my fiancée, Janet Weiss.

Soi:                  Glutton.

Tamahome:       I – uh – wondered if you could help us. Our car broke down

Chiriko:            No it didn't. You got a flat.

Tamahome:       about two miles up the road. Do you have a phone we might use?

Hotohori:          We already told you. Castles don't have phones.

Suboshi:           You're wet.

Miaka:              Yes, the rain has been very heavy.

Tamahome:       Yes.

Suboshi:           Yes.

(Lightening illuminates row of Motercycles)

Miboshi:           Oh, shit. You weren't supposed to see those.

Suboshi:           I think you had better both

Tasuki:             Fuck off?

Suboshi:           (wishing the shout out was the real line) come inside.

Soi:                  I don't care where you come, as long as I do.

Miaka:              Oh, Brad. I'm frightened. What kind of place is this?

Nuriko:             (imitating Miaka) They haven't even offered us any refreshments.

Tamahome:       It's probably some sort of hunting lodge for rich weirdos. Rich…? (Thoughtful look)

Yui:                  Can you spot the domestic in this picture?

Soi:                  No, the pig's in the way.

Suboshi:           This way.

Miaka:              Are you – giving a party? Is there food?

Suboshi:           No. You've arrived on a rather special night.

dodger-chan:            Why is this night different from all other nights?

Suboshi:            It's one of the master's affairs.

Nuriko:             Which one?

Soi:                  What gender?

Miaka:              Lucky him.

Amiboshi:         (from the staircase) He's lucky. You're lucky. I'm lucky. We're all lucky.

Suboshi:           The banister's lucky!

(Amiboshi turns bright red. Everyone stares at Suboshi)

Nuriko:             I didn't think he knew the shout out…

dodger-chan:    …he didn't.

and I do expect reviews.
