08/12/07 Calvin Lee: The emo

[Calvin]

What a shock Obo is in for this week. Calvin Lee will shock the world.

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

Darkness surrounds the whole area. Not one speck of light can be seen anywhere. All you can hear is music. Really soft music. Music that usually is heard in really dramatic parts of movies. The whisper’s in the singer’s voice echoes as soft as it can. Which is followed by a hardcore scream that lights up the whole room. There is only one shadow visible. A little to the right is where it’s being seen. The shadow seems to take a shape of a human being. We hear whatever is there making noise. It sounds kind of whiney like. As if someone is crying. Then a small spark is seen, and a light is turned it. It is a light of what appears to be a lighter. It shows the face of who or what is here. The fact clearly shows that it is Calvin Lee. His eyes are blood shot red, possibly from itching them continuously. Small tears are running down his chin. He looks over, and just screams out at the top of his lungs.


Calvin Lee: I‘m a fucking emo!


He raises his hands up high, and leans his head back.


Calvin Lee: There I said it. I am emo. I hate my life. Nothing ever goes right. I can’t win, hell CBT beat me. I can’t do anything right. I’ll just sit here in the dark and cry like I do every god damn night! I’ll never get this to go right. I’m fucking pathetic! I’m a loser. I suck. I should just kill myself.


Calvin Lee then reaches into the pocket of his pants. He pulls out something sharp. Something small. Something called a razor blade. He looks at it. What beauty it holds. He looks at how sharp the edge is, and how it glistens in the light of the lighter.


Calvin Lee: Obo, you made me realize just how much I suck. You call me emo all the time. I should have listened to you from the start. You are right. I am emo. You know all.


Calvin Lee holds the razor blade up to his skin. He looks down at his wrist, the exact target. He closes his eyes.


Calvin Lee: Only you know the truth of being an emo Obo. I’ll do you a favour and just end It all now.


Calvin Lee then slowly starts to move the razor blade…away from his skin. He looks up and smiles.


Calvin Lee: Or not, considering I’m actually NOT emo. Not in any way at all. What a foolish person you are Obo. If anything, you’re more the emo then I am. But whatever you say.


Calvin Lee laughs a little, and throws the razor blade away.

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

Calvin Lee and Luther have spent the whole week relaxing. Kinda boring, as they always seem to be relaxing. The couch against the wall, and the TV in front gives the hint that this is a living room. Calvin Lee’s living room. Lee is relaxing on the chair, which is next to the couch. He’s leaned back which his feet on the foot rest at the end up the chair. Luther is sitting back on the couch, looking at Calvin. After a semi awkward moment of the two sitting there in silence, Luther starts the conversation.


Luther Castle: Damn it, once again I am not booked. I swear the WFWF hates me.


Calvin Lee: Hate you? They hate me. They all hate me. Especially CBT. Lucky bastard he is.


Luther Castle: It’s like when I’m not tagged with you I just am not booked. It’s annoying! It pisses me off!


Calvin Lee: Don’t worry buddy, I’m sure soon enough you will be booked. After all, we have a new owner, Yukio Blaze.


Luther Castle: True enough. But still, I want to fight. Atleast you’re booked.


Calvin Lee: Yeah, against Obo.


Luther Castle: Murder him. He’s the champ. If you beat him, you are like the #1 contender you know. Well, common sense would say that atleast.


Calvin Lee: Well here’s the way I look at it. Obo’s quest to be champion started when he beat me in that tournament. Now, it is my turn to start my quest to be champion. And, with that, I’ll end Obo’s reign. Kinda ironic eh? He beat me and became champ, now he’ll lose to me and eventually lose his title. Hopefully to me.


Luther Castle: It shouldn’t be too hard to beat him. I mean, his mind is like pinned on the biker dude. Uh, what’s his name?


Calvin Lee: Wayne McGurk?


Luther Castle: Yes, that guy. And not to mention Obo’s got lots of problems lately. Just watch the news.


Calvin Lee: What do you mean?


Luther Castle: Isn’t he a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife?


Calvin Lee: I honestly forgot about that..


Luther Castle: Last I heard he was the number one suspect. I think Wayne told me. He said he heard it from Obo’s kid.


Calvin Lee: Oh right, Samantha, right?


Luther Castle: Yeah her. He said the kid lately hasn’t been in a happy mood or something.


Calvin Lee: Can’t blame her, she lost her mother. But I have to admit, I find it funny that she wants a new mother.


Luther Castle: Haha yeah, I bet in a month Wayne and Vanessa will adopt Samantha.


Calvin Lee: Man Obo’s life sucks. He’s lost his kids mother, he’s gonna lose his title. And, he’s gonna lose his daughter to Wayne McGurk.


Luther Castle: And he calls YOU emo.


The two share a laugh together.


Luther Castle: Honestly, the guy’s life is messed up.


Calvin Lee: All I had was a confidence lose, he has absolutely nothing going right. Kinda makes me feel sorry for him, and lose on purpose. NOT!


Luther Castle: Yeah, you can be champ, and we can go after the tag titles.


Calvin Lee: Actually, to be honest, I have absolutely no interest with the titles. Not after an opportunity like this comes up. The tag titles can wait.


Luther Castle: Oh.


Calvin Lee: Plus, we lost last week, it’s time for us to move over and let someone else have a shot.


Luther Castle: Okay..


Calvin Lee: We’ll get them someday. Just not now.


Luther Castle: If you say so.


Calvin Lee: Yes, the tag titles mean nothing anyways.


Luther Castle: Since when?


Calvin Lee: Since I said so.


Luther Castle: Ok, whatever you say. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.


Calvin Lee: Good, because I didn’t want to talk about them in the first place.


I sigh comes from Luther as Calvin Lee turns on the TV. The two watch TV as it fades.

k sooooo, I hope this is good. I actually have worked on it on and off all week, I usually don't do that. Anywho, let me know how you like it....if anyone actually bothers to reply that is.

[sonstuds]

People replying to roleplays? Bahahaha...

It was good, but the opening with Calvin pretending to be an emo really didn't go anywhere. You could have easily shot after that and go into how Obo's more of an emo, his life sucks, etc. instead of doing all that in the conversation.

[veronicaaaahhhh]

For me, both scenes blended very well together. Although, it could have been futher expounded upon, I really enjoyed the begining with Calvin sarcastically addressing himself as an emo; though, had you gone with EBR'S suggestion, the RP would have gone a long way. The conversation between Luther and Calvin was light, lively, and it flowed very well. You were able to adress what was needed without going into a monologue or a dull dialogue.

Great job here, good luck come FDS

[cureforthesickness]

I read this a few days ago, but chose not to reply, because it obviously bothers you

Luther's dialog is still feeling really.. bottled.. like, he's still just there to feed Calvin lines..

The opening bit was definately the best part and could have really carried the whole roleplay, as EBR stated, instead of going with the dialog that really didn't do a hell of a lot for Luther.

[Calvin]

never second guess yourself..

I was going to do that, but thought just a monologue wouldn't be enough. CLEARLY I was wrong.
