"The Musical - To End a Dynasty"
Unknown location
(OOC: So I'm late and it probably won't count. I'm doing it anyway! And,
as will soon become apparent, this cutscene is set in the past, when 'Lady
Ryoko' was living at the Daimyo's Palace in the Land of Grass and Takahiro
Shuichi was still alive. And for the record, the song she is signing is
'She Is My Sin' by Nightwish. Here's a link:)
"Take heed, dear heart
Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you"
As the sun's last rays retreat over the horizon, the moon illuminates a
slender figure upon an expansive outdoor terrace, leaning with her
forearms across the balcony. Lady Ryoko's long blonde hair falls about her
in a pale blonde veil, blending almost seemlessly with her pale white
kimono, seeming almost ethereal against the dark colors of the garden
terrace about her. Her voice is high, in the opera-level as she sings
contentedly.
"Dressed as one
a wolf will betray a lamb"
As she pushes her body away from the railing, beginning to walk slowly
along it, one hand trailing over the smooth marble edge, an orchestra
picks up the music, mixed with an electric guitar.
"Lead astray the gazers
the razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower is a perfect one"
The smile she wears as she leaves the railing, her voice so pure and
beautiful, is a nasty one of dark intent, her hand reaching to cup a
bright red, blooming flower.
"To paradise, wish pleasure haunted…"
Her fingers close about and crush the once-lovely petals, ripping the
flower off of its stem.
"Haunted by fear"
She spins back towards the railing, her arm out, tossing the dying flower
petals and stamen to the uncaring wind.
"A sin for him
desire within, desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin"
The pale blonde turns and begins to walk down the terrace the other way,
her hands hitching up the long skirt portion of her kimono to keep it from
dragging across the ground as she walks through the moonlit shadows cast
by the columns.
"I am the Fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative
as its discovery"
Her hand catches the last column in line, whipping her body around to
press tight against the side as she continues to gaze at the palely-lit
grounds below with a dark smile.
"To paradise
with pleasure haunted, haunted by fear
A sin for him
desire within, desire within
A burning veil
for the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin"
Out of the shadows comes a red-haired figure, dressed provocatively in
black. Lady Ryoko turns towards the new Spider Queen, Nefura, a hand
reaching out to lightly run the vibrant flaming hair through her
fingertips.
"Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God I must confess
I do envy the sinners"
Ryoko ceases touching the other woman's hair, her cheek, leaning closer
as she hooks a finger into the ring attached to the spider-woman's choker,
tugging her along as she walks backwards across the terrace the way she
had come.
"A sin for him
desire within, desire within
A burning veil
for the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
desire within, desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin"
The singing trails off as Datura, leading Nefura by her fetish necklace,
reach the terrace doors leading into the Lady Ryoko's apartments, both
women still smiling, eyes locked on those of the other. The blonde's voice
returns to normal as she speaks again.
"Are you ready to end a dynasty tonight, My Queen?"
