Richard III: Act I, Scene II|Nonsensical Version

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

Anne shifted slightly away from Richard when he had finally caught up with her as she placed the crown on the floor.

Standing she cleaned her dress as she heard him say that it was not his intention to make her misrable.

What a fat lie , what a fat liar indeed, "You know if you killed yourself my poison would be the opposite I would wake up, then my joys would be seen in your death," she told him and patted his shoulder.

as she noticed the frog comment slide and giggled, "Frogs legs are always very good" she told him and licked her lips brigging up again the playful tease of the frog comment.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

"You know if you killed yourself my poison would be the opposite I would wake up, then my joys would be seen in your death,"

Richard sighed heavily. Why was it so difficult to get through to this woman? Good grief, sometimes he didn't know why he bothered. He didn't need her as part of his plans to steal Edward's throne, as it were...he simply wanted to woo her for the heck of it, as if to say to the world 'I killed her husband and his Dad yet she still loves me!'

The only problem being of course that only he, Anne and Edward knew the full story of the deaths. Drat it.

"You do realize that death wouldn't stop me from loving you, Anne?" he asked, with a smile. "And that even if I was dead I'd be watching over you from my place up there in the sky?"

The fact that there wasn't a place 'up there in the sky' for him, all things considered, never really crossed his mind at that point.

"Frogs legs are always very good"

Ah, so the frog comment wasn't about to let itself be ignored. Richard chuckled at Anne's teasing manner before replying;

"If that's the case I don't see what the problem is...you say you don't want your son to go into a family of frogs...that makes no sense considering what you just said."

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

Anne sighed when she heard Richards words, and only chuckled turning her head around. Patting d his head, she giggled and licked his ear. "Necrophiliac" she breathed out of her lips and started to nibble on them.

Poor dear he had meant those words with such fever, yet she had a plan to ruin every word that he said. An why in the world was he here at all, he must surely be fuming.

Anger was always a prominent feature in Richard , for every displeasure he received he showed this disconfort, to everyone that crossed paths with him.

"so what pray tell was the reason for you comming here" she asked , crossing her arms to her back.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

Richard noticed Anne's sigh and was about to say something more when she drew closer to him and patted his head, giggling slightly and...licked his ear? What the heck?

He would have given her a quizzical look, but the word she breathed just after that...unexpected gesture was almost enough to push it from his mind.

"Necrophiliac"

"Oh ha ha," he said sarcastically, one eyebrow raised. "I'd say that's more you than me, my dear, what with Edward d'Anjou and all." He smirked at his own little joke, before refocusing his attention on Anne's words.

"so what pray tell was the reason for you comming here"

Anne had retreated from him somewhat, her hands now behind her back, as though she didn't want to touch him. Drat.

"Well, I had originally intended to come here and visit Dad," he said, with a small smile. "But then I decided to take a detour and visit Edward...then I saw you, my dear, and the plan changed even further." He paused before he spoke again, choosing his words with care.

"Look, about Edward...and his Dad...I've been feeling pretty bad about that recently. Awful in fact. I really shouldn't have done it, and I'm sorry."

Hopefully Anne would take the bait and forgive him. That would be nice.

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

Anne felt her anger rise a notch, the mention of her husband had really not been a good idea on Richards part. She loved the man more than words could say, and his father was more gentelmen like than the scum that he was. Her hand of course raised gently and touched his face, taking a gentel attitude which then turned and applied force on the cheek making sure it left a mark.

"Don't speak about my husband , when it was you Richard who killed him." She breathed, calmly massaging the hand that had striked him. Until she was relieved of the pain, she rested her hand once again on her side and bit her lip. She was nervous ,wanting to know so many things and yet she was also cruel a little.

If she was hearing him right , he felt sorry. " You don't feel sorry ." she said and carressed his white hairs and then wondered what would happen now. How were they to act further, "There is a rumor I have heard that you wish to marry me" she told him softly ignoring the fact that he was being on his best mood.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

Richard smiled as Anne touched his cheek, a smile which swiftly was replaced by a look of pain and shock as she slapped him. He was about to protest when she spoke again, clearly furious despite the voice in which she breathed the words.

"Don't speak about my husband , when it was you Richard who killed him. You don't feel sorry."

Richard was about to reply, something along the lines of 'that's what you think' and attempt to convince her otherwise, when he felt her hand, which moments ago had struck him, now running gently through his hair. He smiled a little at the gesture; it seemed her anger was receding somewhat. But the next words Anne spoke made the smile drop from his face once more, in shock.

How on earth did she know...who had been spreading rumours...how had anyone else known? Needless to say he was very confused.

"R-really?" he said at last, attempting to retain a semblance of calm. "And what would you say, my dear Anne, if the rumours were true? If that was my intention?"

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

Anne could only smile , she knew the man to well to know that he was not here just to pay his respects. But then what would she know, maybe he was . But this sudden realizationn that he indeed wanted her to marry, well it was kind of amusing. Yet at the same time, could she really be that unfaithfull to her once dear husband. Could she trample through thorns, hurt her knees , rip out her hair. All for what, to marry the man who she had received a clear awnser that he was the murderer of her husband. She, could not possibly think that it was a possibility that she would like to be the wife of a murderer.

"Hmm I would tell you to leave me alone you vile snake, yet I would also like thee to show me how much you care. "she breathed and started to step away a little hastily towards a bench her feet were growing tired.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

"Hmm I would tell you to leave me alone you vile snake-"

Shoot.

"-yet I would also like thee to show me how much you care. "

Well, this was interesting. Richard watched Anne as she moved away to sit down on a nearby bench, mulling over what she'd just said. If he proposed to marry her it seemed she wouldn't accept...and yet she'd just given him the opportunity to show her how much he cared for her.

Hmmm.

"Anne, my dear," he said, walking over to her and standing in front of her, but choosing not to sit down just yet. "What would you do if I said there was a man in this city who loved you more than Edward d'Anjou ever did? A man who could give you all you ever wanted?"

Of course he was reffering to himself. But would Anne take the hint?

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She only cocked her head at hearing his words. Was what he said trutfull or was it just another lie that he had planned under his sleeve. " If marriage was the key, then till death do us part would be my awnser" she told him and paused for a second . "But only if it is true love" she breathed and crossed her arms, curious suddenly to find out what Richard was up to , yet again.

He had told him only once know, would he still try again to actually conquer her heart and win it . Would she be able to accept to be his bride until they died. Was that even a possibility in her head.

No

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

"If marriage was the key, then till death do us part would be my awnser"

Richard inwardly smirked.Excellent. Just what he wanted to hear.

"But only if it is true love"

Oh, I assure you it's true love, Richard thought, his inward smirk growing all the wider. The truest love I'm capable of at any rate.

"Well..." he said at last. "In that case..."

He paused again, as though debating with himself to actually do what he planned to do.It was her who had broached the subject...surely now would be as good a time as ever?

"Anne...I have loved you since the first time I saw you. As others day's are cheered by the sun, so mine is by your beauty...it is my day...my life. I, who killed your husband, did it to help you to a better one."

With that he got down on one knee as best he could, looking imploringly up at Anne, playing the pity card for all it was worth.

"Anne Lancaster...will you marry me?"

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

"Are YOU SERIOUS!!!" She screamed, shocked at what he had just said. Her hands quickly grabbing his neck and raising him to her face. Shaking him as she was not expecting this. Him ... of all people... Will I have lots of jewels ? Cake...? Wine ... ? My own personal collection of 300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 colored paints? " she asked excited.. Her lips inches away from his lips. God she was going to be greedy if she did accept the marriage.

"Proposal"

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

"Are YOU SERIOUS!!!"

Richard couldn't tell whether this was a good sign or not; was she pleased or appalled? He didn't have time to query this however as next second Anne had grabbed him and raised his face to her level.

Whatever happened to a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer?

"Will I have lots of jewels ? Cake...? Wine ... ? My own personal collection of 300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 colored paints? "

Then again, maybe this was better than a simple yes or no. Much more entertaining to say the least, to hear the excitement in Anne's voice.

"If that's what you want, Anne," he replied, with a smile. "Then you shall have it. All this and more."

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She started to stare at Richard ,her head leaning in a little to the right as she sighed. Did she really want to accept his offer, would she suffice as a wife to him. If she said yes, he would have to complete her expectations.

" Alright Richard Ill marry you" she told him and neared him and grabbed his hand and looked at his eyes.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

" Alright Richard Ill marry you"

Richard felt like doing some sort of victory dance (and considering this is crack roleplay and it would be funny he really should) but somehow managed to refrain from doing so.

Instead he simply smiled, holding Anne's hand gently in his.

"I'm glad to hear it," he replied at last. "That works out well."



ooc: Just realized I never replied to this. /fail Forgive me?
