The Venue

[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room] The room is filled with long, low tables and stools, where several people sit eating hearty bowls of Arthe Hollow's popular lamb stew. A large stone fireplace dominates one wall. Daisy Burdock, the inn's cook and waitress, crosses the room carrying a precarious arrangement of bowls and plates. She stops briefly to tease and joke with a regular customer or glance out the window. A sign is posted prominently next to the archway. You also see a log, a baby wolf who is sitting, a log, a polished wooden bar with some stuff on it, an open doorway, a wooden menuboard, and some wooden stairs.

Performer

Poet Linett DeMooren-Budna of Therengia, an Elf.

She has pointed ears and silver eyes. Her platinum hair is very long and thick, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has ebon skin. She has blue musical notes painted diagonally across her face.

She has a tattoo of an iridescent winged butterfly on her ankle.

She is wearing a platinum jadeite gwethdesuan, a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan, a small embroidered case, a soft suede haversack, a beaded crimson silk corset with tightly drawn ivory laces, an albredine crystal ring, a carved ivory pick, an obsidian wedding band inset with jade and a sparkling diamond, a braided gold ring cradling tiny fire opals within its folds, a diaphanous crimson gossamer skirt resplendent with golden scarves, some red ribbon garters, some gold silk stockings and some sleek red leather thigh boots laced up the back with steelsilk laces.

Attendees

Event

Linett gets a silverwillow picnic basket from inside her suede haversack. Linett pulls a fringed blue homespun cloth out of a picnic basket, setting her basket aside as she shakes out the cloth and lays it out upon the ground. Linett says to Daerlynn, "I thought we were not telling anyone." Donalisa gets a log from inside her mesh backpack. Donalisa offers Linett a log. Useff beams at Michie! Useff just hugged Michie. Linett accepts Donalisa's log. Linett gazes at Donalisa. Donalisa gets a log from inside her mesh backpack. Donalisa offers Linett a log. Linett bends over and shakes Raziaar's shoulder! Raziaar laughs at Linett. Niteshiver exclaims, "a concert with women!" Kelela says, "Really it's a bit mind boggling in here." Gylee hugs Linett, who wraps her arms around Gylee with a warm smile. Ghilayne exclaims, "and kiss!" Lethargy wobbles, looking a bit faint. Kelela says, "Makes me glad I'm not performing." Lethargy looks at Ghilayne and drools. (Tashya tosses out hugs like they're going out of style.) Donalisa offers Niteshiver a log. Wyndz exclaims, "Good to see you again!" Lethargy says to Ghilayne, "It's apparently been too long for me." Lethargy fans herself. Wyndz says, "Ooo" Ghilayne nods to Lethargy. Daerlynn smiles. Ghilayne says, "or me." Linett asks Donalisa, "Is this log to knock myself out with?" Ghilayne asks, "perhaps both?" Useff blinks. Elabela caresses the fabric of her gown and smiles. Wow, what a smile. Niteshiver accepts Donalisa's log. Lethargy grins at Ghilayne. Niteshiver gazes at a log. Sir Madigan's group just arrived. Linett slowly empties her lungs. Lethargy squints. Lethargy casually observes the area. Kelela says, "I require twice as much as others" Useff says to Lethargy, "You can do me again" Kelela gives Lethargy a playful poke in the ribs. Lethargy grins. Lethargy smiles and sits in Useff's lap. Lethargy takes a seat near Useff. Useff lets out a deep sigh of contentment. Lethargy pulls Useff onto her lap, dipping him back over her arm to press a noisy smooch against Useff's lips -- how theatrical! Linett flirts with Lethargy. Lethargy smiles demurely, giving Linett her full attention. Linett says, "I put drinks out on the cloth there." Lethargy makes a chirring noise in Linett's direction.

Useff says to Linett, "I swear I didn't mention it" Melissande says to Linett, "We'll mostly hide" Linett yanks off the head of her toy mouse, carefully removing a tiny crystal flask from its hiding place. Lifting the flask to her lips, she takes a quick sip, saving the rest for later, then replaces the cap and slips the flask back inside the mouse. Linett hiccups. Donalisa chants in a mezzo-soprano voice:

   "Oh, half of you must leave...the bottom half, please"

Linett exclaims, "oooh I feel fine now.. Come on in!" Tashya asks, "We could call in the sister reserves?" Chabelle gazes at her tequila. Linett hiccups.

Donalisa gives Lethargy a gentle poke in the ribs. Elabela hums to herself. Wyndz coughs. Kelela says, "No pinchin meh bum..." Kelela nods. Linett says to Kelela, "Of course he doesn't realize I do that all the time." Lethargy grins. Ghilayne says, "I could use one of those, Lethargy." Linett gazes at her fingernails. Kelela laughs!

Linett says, "Well! First one out of the way! Thank the Gods. Let us see what else I might have in my songbook. Or this will be a very long evening of staring at each other." Linett slowly empties her lungs. Linett gets an antiqued black leather songbook highlighted by silver gilt stars from inside her embroidered case. Daerlynn beams at Linett! Linett releases the clasp of her songbook with a faint *click*, and turns to the page where the deep ebony silk ribbon is placed. Linett takes on a studious look. Ileia smiles at Linett. Daniellyne smiles at Linett. Donalisa fixes Linett with an intent, predatory stare. Linett says, "Gods no, you can't hear that one."

Michie chuckles. Linett says, "Ahh yes, Now this song. Well. Some of you have heard it. Most of you have not. This is a deeply personal song, but I wished to share it because I am not one to deny the range of my emotion. It also helps explain why I have been so long in hiding of late, in a way." Linett taps her fingers on one of the open pages of of her open songbook with a faraway look on her face. Linett says, "This one will do." Linett closes the cover of her songbook, the clasp catching with a delicate "click". Tashya says, "I bet she has her songbook divided by vodka, tequila, and whiskey periods." Linett puts her songbook in her embroidered case. Tashya hums to herself. Linett places her hand over Tashya's mouth. Elabela snickers. Cardinalred grins at Tashya. Gylee smiles at Linett. Niteshiver chortles softly at some secret joke. Mealla smiles. Khestryl begins chortling at Tashya. Linett exclaims, "Drinks on the cloth too!"

Khestryl nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Linett begins her performance for her audience.

Chabelle smiles. Linett bows her head as her shoulders start to shake. After several long moments she seems to regain a small measure of composure. Her head slowly rises again to face you even though her eyes remain closed. You are forced to lean forward to hear her whisper-soft singing.

Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Sorrow fills my soul
     until I am awash
     in utter despair
     that does overwhelm me."

Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:

   "You cannot save me
     I am beyond rescue
     drowning in myself
     as I sit here with you."

Gylee leans forward. Linett slowly empties her lungs. Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I know your feelings
     tell you how strong I am
     but that is shaded
     by emotions so deep."

Raziaar gazes at Linett. Linett wraps her arms around herself tightly as tears make their way down her cheek. Her body shivers slightly leaving you with the impression she is afraid of something.

Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I am haunted by
     a past that even now binds
     me to it firmly
     coloring everything."

Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:

   "You see things in me
     that do not really exist
     you see a perfect
     version of what you need."

Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I play a small game
     to ensure you love me
     to keep you happy
     pretending to feel."

Linett winces as conflicting emotions are clearly played out over her face. Her head tilts downwards until her chin rests firmly against her chest and her hair falls forward to cover her face. Her arms release their crushing embrace as if realizing they offered no real comfort.

Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I am lost without
     you ever by my side so near
     and yet I am lost
     with you so near to my heart."

Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I am desolate
     but I hide it so well
     you had no idea
     of my daily struggle."

Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I am so broken
     no way to fit all the
     pieces back into
     one whole person again."

Linett slowly turns in a tight circle until her back is facing you. Her voice is carried clearly to your ears as she reaches the top of her vocal range to close her song.

Linett tiredly sings in a soprano voice:

   "So sorry that I
     cannot be what you wish
     or needed me to
     be for you or for us."

Linett stands very still as the last notes fade away into nothingness. Just as you start to wonder if she is able to face you again she turns around with a swirl of energy, a bright smile lighting her face. It occurs to you that her smile is perhaps too wide but that thought is carried away as she gazes into your eyes imploringly and then sinks into a deep curtsy.

Gylee adds to Linett's praises. Donalisa lets out a hearty cheer for Linett! Michie looks at Linett and applauds! Mealla sniffles.

Linett blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue. Mazrian smiles at Linett.

Useff gets a pint of Hibbles' dark stout from inside his Bard's bag. Madigan smiles warmly. Linett says, "I call this... "Ode to being juicy." This is a tiny little song I wrote after a time I spent with a certain Elf on a mountain top. He, of course, knows who he is... I hope! Thank you for inspiring me in everything that followed, including these words." Elabela nods to Donalisa. Donalisa grins. Gylee chuckles. Chabelle grins. Lethargy smiles. Rykard grins. Cardinalred asks Gylee, "You?" Linett quietly asks, "Hmm wasn't this one of the bad songs?" Linett frets. Niteshiver says, "i'm human dammit" Ntorynn gets an impish expression on his face, and lets out a hearty cheer. Renala appears to be concentrating intently on something. Daniellyne smiles at Linett. Iliani laughs! Cardinalred smiles at Gylee.

Useff says to Linett, "Too late .. you announced it" Linett longingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Soft fuzz brushes against your lips
    Your tongue slips past your teeth
    I'm breathless awaiting you to taste
    Your naughty smile as you slowly tease me."

Honorable Cayene just arrived. Elabela appears to be trying hard not to grin. Linett smiles weakly before biting the lower corner of her lip. Cardinalred chuckles at Gylee. Lethargy pats Gylee on the back. Chabelle gazes at Linett. Linett dreamily sings in a soprano voice:

   "Finally your tongue caresses the gentle curve
    Whisper soft against taut skin
    My eyes close as I imagine your next move
    Wicked as sin you pull your mouth away."

Lethargy makes a chirring noise in Linett's direction. Mealla gulps. Gylee chuckles at Lethargy. Linett frowns petulantly. Wyndz fans herself. Linett teasingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Against my lips your fingertip traces a moist path
    A soft kiss as you share the taste with me
    I pull back and beg you to finish what you started
    Leaning forward, you wink and kiss me once again."

Tiso grins at Wyndz. Mazrian says, "Excuse me, please." Mazrian smiles. Cardinalred chortles softly at some secret joke. Cayene gazes at Linett. Mazrian just went out. Wyndz clears her throat. Cayene fans himself. Wyndz shifts her weight.

Linett quietly says, "I guess Mazrian doesn't like this song." Linett mischievously sings in a soprano voice:

   "Your eyes upon mine as you slide open your mouth and lean closer
    Time stops as your lips close over skin, softly sinking into flesh
    I gasp as juices run past your lips and over your chin
    Of course you just smile and ask if I wish another taste."

    Never again to be sung.
    Memories like a symphony bring me to my knees,
    Overwhelming me until the instruments are unstrung."

Jilette just arrived.

Daerlynn gnaws on her lip. Linett lovingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "You are the Greatness of me,
    My thoughts are Beauty shaped exquisitely
    To the rare pattern of your loveliness
    Exceeding all excess.
    And the strange magic of this mystery,
    Steals weight from burdened anlaen, and woe from weariness."

Ghilayne cocks her head at Linett. (Linett tears her intense gaze away from Daerlynn and looks into the audience while taking long slow breaths.

Linett winks at Daerlynn. (Linett sits down in the exact center of the room and carefully arranges her skirt over her crossed legs. She looks up and smiles at each person in the audience as she pulls a few things out of her case. ) Linett takes a seat. Linett gets a toe bone from inside her suede haversack. Linett glances at a toe bone. Linett says, "naughty bone." Linett gathers up a fringed blue homespun cloth and all the food it holds, stuffing the bundle into a silverwillow picnic basket and closing the lid securely. Useff gets some gold-tipped desumos bones from inside his hip pouch. Linett says, "No more drinks if you don't all calm down." Linett hums an innocent tune. Lethargy grins at Linett. Linett pulls a fringed blue homespun cloth out of a picnic basket, setting her basket aside as she shakes out the cloth and lays it out upon the ground. Cayene says, "Damn. She wins." Linett asks Useff, "Lend me your bones?" Wyndz stands up. Lethargy says to Linett, "It's the songs, nae the drinks, boo."

Commander Cyiarriah's group just arrived.

Linett softly says, "Now this song was also thought of over the space of several long long years, but just recently written down. This song is called "The Lesson."

(Linett shyly gazes at D'Or as she runs her cloth carefully over her bones. When people start to clear their throats in impatience she quickly blinks twice and lets the cloth drop into her lap. Blushing slightly she begins a light melody on her bones that puts you in mind of shopping.)

Niteshiver laughs! Linett gazes at Esmaril. Niteshiver grins at Linett. Esmaril chortles softly at some secret joke.

Linett hopefully sings in a soprano voice:

   "Can it be ivory-inlaid?
    Perhaps a bodhran made of pine?
    I promise treatment with caution.
    Never to be covered in grime."

Xixist smiles at Linett.

Linett wistfully sings in a soprano voice:

   "A case? Maybe in wool brocade.
    Would you be mad if I decline?
    I'm sure it's the latest fashion.
    To not buy it would be a crime."

Linett gazes at Esmaril.

(Linett tilts her head slightly to the side and gazes only at D'Or. The melody shifts to a more sultry shimmer of sound as she leans forward towards the True Bard. You catch the words she silently mouths to D'Or, "I only bought so many instruments to see you.")

Linett blushes furiously! Esmaril chortles softly at some secret joke. Khestryl chuckles to herself. Donalisa grins. Madigan smiles at Linett.

Niteshiver snaps his fingers. Tashya smiles slyly at Esmaril. A rock boggle waddles in with a smug look and pauses. The boggle then glances once over its shoulder, and runs away, chortling! Donalisa blinks. Wyndz chuckles. Cayene says, "That boggle.. bout said it all." Cayene nods. (Linett flashes a quick grin at Esmaril and gives him a wink as her melody becomes more playful and light.) Tashya asks, "Boggle?" Lethargy nods to Cayene. Donalisa grins at Lethargy. Wyndz grins. Linett teasingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Did I see you with a barmaid?
    Can't I convince you to be mine?
    Gazing in your eyes I'm undone.
    Surely you're an Elf in your prime!"

Linett longingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Bright green eyes like the rarest jade.
    Soft curled blonde hair like spun sunshine.
    Lily white skin untouched by sun.
    Seeming to be untouched by time."

[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room] The room is filled with long, low tables and stools, where several people sit eating hearty bowls of Arthe Hollow's popular lamb stew. A large stone fireplace dominates one wall. Daisy Burdock, the inn's cook and waitress, crosses the room carrying a precarious arrangement of bowls and plates. She stops briefly to tease and joke with a regular customer or glance out the window. A sign is posted prominently next to the archway. You also see a fringed blue homespun cloth with some stuff on it, a log, a log, a log, a polished wooden bar with some stuff on it, an open doorway, a wooden menuboard, and some wooden stairs.

Obvious exits: out.

Xanzie chuckles. Linett slowly empties her lungs.

Linett smiles at Useff as she stands and walks to the edge of the crowd and stands just in front of him. Linett softly says, "And finally, since they would only let me sing for so long, I shall close the "Songs for other people" set with one for my Maite, Useff. "

Xixist smiles at Linett. Useff gazes at Linett. Esmaril grins. Chabelle smiles softly. Esmaril smiles at Useff. Linett lovingly says to Useff, "Words or music could never capture all the emotions we share, or thank you for all that you give to me. I named this song "Ruh Maite" and wrote it for you. Never a time shall pass that we will not be bonded or love each other. No matter what any may think or wish." Khestryl grins at Useff. Daerlynn smiles at Useff.

    All of time with thee."

Wyndz chuckles.

Linett smiles at several people in the audience and gives them a quick wink as they make a sad little sigh. She gazes back into Useff's eyes.

Linett sings in a soprano voice:

   "In your arms I feel
     all of my self doubt
     fade away to nothing.
     
    I'm starting to heal."

(Linett wraps her arms around herself in a pale imitation of a lovers embrace.)

Linett sings in a soprano voice:

   "Your kiss makes me weak
     with complete desire,
     complete passion.
     
    Only you do I seek."

Wyndz smiles. Raziaar sighs softly. Linett frowns slightly as she resist the urge to leap into Useff's lap after closely examining the distance from the her to where he sits. Lethargy takes a sip of her Tipple. Lethargy blushes and babbles a few incoherent words, looking foolish but sincere. Useff scoots over a little closer to Linett. Esmaril takes a sip of his tipple.

   "In your mind I steal
     over your inner thoughts
     such a distraction.
     
    Everything is so real."

Xixist smiles. Ghilayne gazes at Linett. (Linett tilts her head down and you think she must have been blushing.)

Linett sings in a soprano voice:

   "Your love reveals me
     to the world to see
     open and honestly.
     
    You have set me free."

Raziaar shifts his weight. (Linett unwraps her arms from around herself and stretches them above her head. Suddenly she spins around in a tight circle several times and the sound of her joyful laughter reaches your ears.)

Linett sings in a soprano voice:

   "With your soul I found
     a mate to partner
     my soul completely.
     
    True love does resound."

(Linett ends her dizzying spin by dropping into a low bow. Apparently she has spun a few too many times and as she slowly tilts to the side her eyes grow wide and she reaches out towards the audience as if to catch herself but to no avail. The room is filled with shocked stillness until the sound of Linett crashing to the ground and a few choice curse words break the silence. Quickly pulling her skirt from over the top of her head she leaps to her feet and bows once again amidst the snickering and laughter.) Wyndz grins. Chabelle blinks at Linett. Linett mutters cryptically to herself. Raising her hot toddy to Linett, Donalisa gives her a toast. Linett says, "Well that didn't quite go how I had rehearsed."

Linett declines Esmaril's offer. Ghilayne says, "You cannot leave it with just there." Esmaril laughs! Esmaril grins. Gylee says, "You must sing another" Ghilayne nods to Gylee.

" Khestryl praises Esmaril. Donalisa grins. Linett says, "Sorry! Esmaril distracted me a tiny bit." Linett clears her throat. Esmaril chortles softly at some secret joke. Lethargy says, "Why? None of us here are well-balanced." Cardinalred grins. Lethargy grins at Linett. Donalisa grins at Lethargy. Donalisa nods to Niteshiver. Paschein raises an eyebrow in Lethargy's direction. Cayene says to Lethargy, "Alcoholism is no laughing matter" Linett says to Lethargy, "And I always thought you were the balanced one." Linett gulps. Linett calmly says, "I would only say before this song, that it is not about Useff and I. But if you choose to feel it is, when you buy him drinks to comfort him, he prefers Stout." Stelling laughs! Lethargy grins. Chabelle grins. Linett bats her eyes at Useff. Khestryl chuckles. Useff waves a pint of Hibbles' dark stout around. Esmaril chortles softly at some secret joke. Xixist grins.

Niteshiver grins at Donalisa.

Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Your love had set me free
       love ended
    Our future never to be
       more history."

Linett weakly sings in a soprano voice:

   "My heart now has no key
       every gain lost
    All is empty and so I flee
       can't feel safe."

Linett hopelessly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I've lost all harmony
       discordant
    Won't again feel happy
       dead inside."

Linett painfully sings in a soprano voice:

   "I can't hold onto me
       pieces fall
    Blinded by tears, can't see
       armor lost."

Linett regretfully sings in a soprano voice:

   "Regrets now, Oh so many
       doubt does fill
    For us, you were not ready
       every empty inch."

Linett rancidly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Pardon me if I'm bitchy
       emotions
    For I feel quite crummy
       overwhelmed."

Linett hauntingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Stretched so thin I'm wispy
       a breeze blows
    Can be seen only faintly
       me away."

Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:

   "A breeze blows me away."

Linett sinks into a deep curtsy. Useff gazes at Linett. (Linett stands very still for a moment then quickly wipes her eyes as if annoyed by her emotion. She smiles and says "Ok! No more sad songs!" She gets her lute from her case and gazes at it. You know, I think I will sing you the tale of how I got this lute and about three hundred other items.)

Donalisa hugs Linett, who wraps her arms around Donalisa with a warm smile. Niteshiver glares at Donalisa. Useff squints at Donalisa. Linett says, "Ok, sorry in advance." Linett nods to Iliani. Linett flashes a wide grin. (Linett slowly strums her lute as if searching for the right notes to pour forth without guidance. Finally a lilting tune emerges and she smiles encouragingly at the audience.) Iliani grins at Linett. Lethargy grins at Iliani.

Linett sweetly sings in a soprano voice:

   "I met a trader handsome and sweet.
    Softly did he whisper in my ear.
    He grasped my hand in his so gently.
    A slow walk in moonlight together."

Linett tenderly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Soon between us there was intense heat.
    So tender his words, "Have no fear."
    Fingers appraise my things intently
    A journey to tents for his ledger."

(Linett loudly rakes her pick across her lute strings, repeating the melody once before launching into the next verse.)

Linett tiredly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Day into night, I was dead on my feet.
    Shop! Shop! Shop! Sounded oh so sincere.
    Firm and hearty handshakes, so wordly.
    Suggestions from all, "Some new leather?"

Linett mockingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "With glee my funds they each did deplete!
    Out of coins - silent, I shed a tear.
    Any more coins, incidentally?
    They assured I'd many a treasure."

(Linett's strumming softens, the strings of her lute vibrating quietly.)

Linett painfully sings in a soprano voice:

   "Me, destitute. Your hasty retreat.
    Your words, "I must see to my career."
    Why is it you feel so differently?
    Left with only items for pleasure."

Linett harshly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Guards escort me out with conceit.
    Them all laughing I did overhear.
    I ran towards the ramp hastily.
    Crying, ran right into a healer."

Linett blinks.

(Linett's pick flies over her lute, bouncing back and forth between bass and treble strings.)

Xixist smiles at Linett. Linett kindly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Smiling at me, warmly she did greet.
    Words so kind, and she gave me a Beer!
    Gave her a pack, gifted her quickly.
    She accepted with joy and laughter!"

Linett happily says, " And thus, my love affair with shopping was born and my distrust of traders begun. Oh! And my love of giving away gifts too." Gylee chuckles.

Xanzie chuckles at Cayene. Cayene says, "Oh." Cayene says, "Wrong flame." Cayene coughs. Xanzie says to Cayene, "not that flame" Chabelle gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

Linett smiles a bit nervously then bows her head and becomes very quiet. Her posture speaks of unbearable tension even though she is absolutely still. Lightning quick her right hand rises to shoulder level and drops back to her waist in a sharp cutting gesture. As her hand again reaches her side the room is suddenly encased in utter darkness. Whisper soft, you hear Linett's voice raised in song.

Chabelle perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Linett.

Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Passion fills me like lava in a volcano,
    Desire burns in me like an inferno.
    I am aflame, I am alight.
    Can you see me burning?"

Donalisa nods to Linett. Niteshiver squints at Linett. Donalisa points at a log on the floor. Niteshiver nods.

(Linett appears at the edge of your vision as her body is outlined by a red glow. She stands unmoving in front of you, her posture still tense. The only obvious difference is the heat you feel from the center of the room as the glow surrounding her becomes even brighter.)

Linett wistfully sings in a soprano voice:

   "Welling up inside, overflow - None can follow.
    Bubbling, boiling 'neath the surface below.
    Overwhelming - Can't find respite.
    Understand my yearning."

(Linett tosses her head back, shaking her hair out behind her. Her gaze seems focused on some point you cannot see yourself. As her index finger traces a slow path over the outside of her thigh you notice sparks falling from her fingertips wherever it touches flesh.)

Gylee grins at Linett. Chabelle gazes at Linett. Tiso leans forward.

Linett longingly sings in a soprano voice:

   "In intoxicating sensation I wallow.
    I am begging - Help me reach the plateau.
    Burning hot, no end to my plight,
    This fight I am losing."

Xixist smiles. Wyndz chuckles at Tiso. Tiso grins at Wyndz. Linett quietly says to Tiso, "No, you cannot sing this to Shantelle."

(Linett inhales sharply as she falls to her knees. Flames slowly lick along her skin until her body is encased in flickering white hot fire. As you each take a reflexive step backwards your eyes cannot help but be drawn back to Linett. Low whimpering can be heard as her clothing falls to ash surrounding her and she struggles to release the next words. She finally finds her voice to sing, though you notice it is at least a full octave lower.)

Wyndz laughs! Tiso begins pouting. Wyndz grins at Linett. Donalisa sniffs at Linett. (Cardinalred fans his hand in front of his face, trying to find relief from the heat come from the stage.) Wyndz quietly says, "'he's taking notes" Wyndz grins at Tiso. Tiso says to Wyndz, "Her father would make me a foot shorter." Linett helplessly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Quench this flame - Embrace me, cover me in shadow.
    Extinguish the fire, incinerate woe.
    Once, Twice, Thrice - Again I ignite.
    Flames endlessly writhing."

(Linett gazes into the audience searchingly. Her eyes quickly flash from person to person until finally her eyes grow wide and unmoving. As you turn to see who she could be staring at you see Useff staring back into her eyes. You notice him quickly nod at her once and the room is filled with soft whimpering until her voice again finds its way past her lips.)

Tiso chuckles to himself. Niteshiver smiles slowly.

Linett weakly sings in a soprano voice:

   "Searing
           Aching
                 Flaming
                        Coming."

(Linett slips to the ground from her knees as the flames slowly shift from red-white to a cooler blue-white. As the flames seep back into her naked skin you notice her eyelids beginning to flutter open before darkness envelops the room once again. As the light fills the room you see her quickly pulling a shift over herself. Her eyes find their way over each person in the room then she sinks into a low curtsy.)
