The Tale of the Princess Out of Reach [video; anon by proxy]

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[A blank wall. Or a backdrop. Suddenly, the shadow of a girl with a jaunty ponytail, wearing a short skirt and puff-sleeve blouse, marches into view.]

Extra! Extra!

[And now there are three of them on stage. The complete Kashira Players troupe. The one with the giant hair bow, A-ko, is dressed as a princess and high above the other two, leaning out of a window.]

Oh, won't someone let me out of this tower?

[B-ko, the one with braided pigtails, is dressed as a prince with crown and poofy pants and all. She forms a heroic pose.]

Never fear! I shall use my enchanted rope to reach the top of the tower and set you free!

[And the familiar shadow with the ponytail, C-ko, steps forward as a cackling hunchback witch. She holds up a piece of rope.]

No, you won't! For I have stolen your rope!

[Princess A-ko clasps her hands.]

Oh no!

[B-ko resumes her princely stance.]

Never fear! I shall use my enchanted ladder to reach the top of the tower and set you free!

[Witch C-ko pulls a ladder out of nowhere.]

No, you won't! For I have stolen your ladder!

[Princess A-ko puts a hand to her forehead.]

Oh no!

[B-ko's cape flutters in the breeze.]

Never fear! I shall use my enchanted pogo stick to reach the top of the tower and set you free!

[Witch C-ko is now bouncing on the pogo stick.]

No, you won't! For I have stolen your pogo stick!

[Princess A-ko leans further out the window.]

You horrible witch! Who are you?

[Still bouncing, C-ko pulls off her witch's cloak to reveal a princess' dress.]

Didn't you know? I'm your younger sister!

[Gasp! Horror from Princess A-ko.]

But why would you betray me like this? Are you trying to steal my prince away from me?

[Bounce bounce bounce.]

You can keep the prince for yourself. His toys are much more fun!

[Prince B-ko looks from C-ko to the tower.]

Could you at least give me a boost up?

You sisters would be so much more effective if you worked together, you know.

Re: video;

[spacetimeguard.livejournal.com]

So it is about these Fates? Or at lest, Lachesis?

[spacetimeguard.livejournal.com]

..Younger sister..? Is this... to do with Lachesis...? Last time you posted, it was, in hindsight, about that. [Makes a face at his Comm.]

[ C-ko is still on the pogo stick. ]

Layers upon layers. Like the Princess of the Onion Kingdom! But that's another story...

That was useful.

Your prince?

[ Bounce bounce. ]

So many people have one. Do you?

[nightstarrising.livejournal.com]

I give it a two out of five stars.

The prince is an idiot and needs to stop telling what he's going to use to save the princess instead of just doing it.

How'd the prince not know his stuff had been stolen!?

Plot hole!

...are these things supposed to be symbolic or something?

Talk about laaaame.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Fun times.

It seems odd that the younger sister's actions were based more around personal desire than actual malice for the older.

If the 'princess' has any self-respect or competency, she wouldn't need to be rescued.

[permavid]

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[ And this time it's B-ko approaching the camera. ]

But that's how the fairy tale goes.

Primitive communication at best. The Fates made a better metaphor.

Re: video;

[spacetimeguard.livejournal.com]

I think they are talking about the fates. Earth Myth says that Lachesis had two sisters. Umm.. Clotho and another one. [HE'S JUST REGURGITATING FACTS.]

They're making fun of us.

[ C-ko shrugs, still holding onto the pogo stick. ]

Perhaps you aren't looking deep enough.

[badhorsefan.livejournal.com]

Yeah I don't get it.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Which parts are you struggling with, exactly, Doc?

[darkprophecies.livejournal.com]

... Well, in my opinion it was far more entertaining than most of the posts I've seen of late.

[ There might be some bowing going on now. ]

[pacifister]

[Knows much more than he should.]

You still haven't said why the second princess betrayed the first.

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[ C-ko headtilts. ]

Some things are left to the audience to speculate!

[Just a pensive note. He's not saying much, but this is giving him theories.]

[ From the tower. ]

You have to project when on stage!

[voice]

[notadartboard]

I think the princess needs a stronger and smarter prince to save her~! Are you looking for volunteers?

[video]

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[ In unison. ]

The Kashira Players are not accepting applications at this time.

Is there a point to all of this?

[ B-ko holds up the prince's sword. It's pointy. ]

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

So if one represents our lady 'Porter and another is the opposing force in LA, then the third could be.. the collective imPorts? Or perhaps.. wasn't there another entity, before the 'Porter we have now?

A charming story, regardless.

For her own gain, she's hurting her sister...

[[looks rather unhappy at that familiar situation]]

Princey is kinda useless in this story.

Good show, otherwise.

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

Is love really ever useless?

[pas-de-ducks.livejournal.com]

Hey, why would you do that to a prince? That's not fair! He's just trying to do something good for somebody, and you're stealing his stuff!

[playingshadows.livejournal.com]

[ C-ko comes closer to the camera. ]

Maybe he should have held onto it better.

[holeheart]

I don't think I got it. Is this some sort of damn metaphor?!
