Yue-chan: Ah, yes, now it is time for Part Two of Marley's Ghost. But first, I would like to introduce the new camera operator, my dear twinling.
Twinling: *waves from behind the camera*
Yue-chan: Alrighty then, lets gets this show back on the road!
*****
Yue-chan handed the camera over to her twin before going to help Meiru and Mariko-sensei change the setting. Now, instead of the office, it showed the inside of Scrooge's house. There wasn't much, just a large screen painted to look like the inside of an old London house (think of a stage prop in a fancy theatre) and a large red chair. Mik-chan was helping Dekao get ready for his part, Netto and Enzan were nowhere to be seen, and Wiley was still sulking in a corner. But as soon as the setting was finished Yue-chan fished him back out and set him down in the chair.
Twinling: Next Scene! The Appearance of Marley's Ghost!
Wiley sat in the chair, looking around. Mik-chan turned down the light to give the room a more creepy appearance, and some brave soul had dug a fog machine out of Yue-chan's basement. For a moment nothing happened. Then there was a sound of chains scraping across the floor. Dekao, painted white with chains draped over him struggled to walk up into the scene. Yue-chan snickered. Mik-chan had found and used her set of chains she'd hidden in the attic.
Wiley: "Who are you?!" Scrooge demanded.
Dekao: "Ask me, uh, who I was!"
Seeing Dekao was having trouble with his lines, Yue-chan held up little cue crads for him to read. Dekao looked relieved at that bit of help.
Wiley: "Fine, who were you?"
Dekao: "In life I was you're partner, Jacob Marley."
Wiley: "Humbug. I don't believe it. I'm seeing things!"
Dekao shrieked (yes, he can shriek), causing everyone to wince, including Twinling, who could scream like a banshee. Needless to say, Wiley's expression could pass for that of a frightened old man, like Scrooge was supposed to be at this point in the play.
Wiley: "Mercy! Please!"
Dekao "Scrooge! I have appeared here so that you might not share my fate!" Marley said, rattling the chains. "You shall be haunted by three ghosts this night! The first shall appear when the clock strikes Twelve. Heed their words, that you might be spared. I take my leave of you now!"
And with that said, Dekao struggled back off the "stage". He didn't get too far, as he collapsed under the weight of the chains. Mik-chan turned the lights back on and Twinling turned the camera off.
"And that wraps up scene two," she said gleefully.
"Good," Wiley growled, going back to his corner.
Yue-chan didn't bother to scold him this time. Instead she went to help untangle Dekao from his metal prison.
"Where the heck did you get these things?" Dekao gasped.
"From the attic," Mik-chan replied. "We keep them up there for when Fluffy visits."
Dekao was smart and didn't ask who "Fluffy" was. Yue-chan smiled and handed the script over to Neko.
"Okay, Neko. Tis you're turn to direct the next part. Have fun!"
Twinling: *waves from behind the camera*
Yue-chan: Alrighty then, lets gets this show back on the road!
