Your tribute is here… {nervously} //Male Citizen [2/6] Theorick: ...good. Thank you. Good to see some who honestly respect what I’m trying to do for all of you. Was there anyone else? {sarcastically, darkly} [3/6] Citizen: Ah...no. There...there wasn’t. Not this time. They feel like you’re taking too much from them, which I don’t agree with, but- {nervously} //Female Citizen [4/6] Theorick: ...ask them, if they would prefer their money, or their lives. Am I not protecting them? Is it really so much to ask that I get something in return? {angrily} [5/6] Citizen: We...we know. We told them that, too...we’re sorry. {scared} //Male Citizen [6/6] Theorick: You aren’t the ones who need to apologize! I'm aware it's a voluntary contribution, but do they have any idea how difficult it is to cast magic like this regularly?! {angrily} Torn in twain [1/11] Theorick: This is absolutely ridiculous! You know it is! You can’t say it isn’t! {angrily} [2/11] Theorick: The people can’t defend themselves, you’ve seen them try. All it ends up doing is making our lives harder! {angrily} [3/11] Theorick: Why SHOULDN'T I ask for just a tiny bit of compensation in return? A mere pittance more than gratitude? {intensely} [4/11] Theorick: You can't fill someone’s stomach with kind words, father! {intensely} [5/11] Marius: Theorick, listen- {calmly} [6/11] Theorick: Don’t you DARE change the topic! I’ve listened to what you’ve said, and it’s all nonsense! {rudely} [7/11] Theorick: Platitudes and non-answers, never any straight conversations with you. Never, not once! {frustrated} [8/11] Marius: I can only warn you, Theorick. Leaving us will be the province's end. I brought you all together for a reason. Think of the consequences of your actions. {quietly} [9/11] Theorick: Pah! As though you are! I’m out in the thick of it, saving this province! What have YOU done, except put a roof above our heads? {ungratefully} [10/11] Theorick: You hardly taught me anything! Dwendle hardly taught me anything! Rickeo hardly taught me anything! And Mael actively makes me stupider every time he opens his mouth! {angrily} [11/11] Theorick: Open your eyes and knock the wax out of your ears! This can’t continue as it is! {angrily} The twain's downfall [1/12] Rickeo: Surprise, surprise, Theo. You’re late. {sarcastically} [2/12] Theorick: Don't even start, Ricke. {threatening} [3/12] Rickeo: You're really into being cold, huh? {annoyed} [4/12] Dwendle: Look, we’re all here for the same reason- {calmly} [5/12] Theorick: Don't touch me. {darkly} [6/12] Mael: Are you alright? {nervously, comforting} [7/12] Rickeo: You shouldn't have done that. {angrily} [8/12] Theorick: Now you've done it, Rickeo. {angrily} [9/12] Dwendle: Theo, stop. {frustrated} [10/12] Dwendle: Just this once. {frustrated} [11/12] Dwendle: Stop. {frustrated} [12/12] Theorick: Make me. {coldly} //They start fighting [1/3] Dwendle: Thanks, Ricke… {gratefully} [2/3] Rickeo: Don't worry about it... Let's finish this, shall we? {darkly} [3/3] Dwendle: Yeah. Dad should have done this a long time ago. {darkly} [1/1] Mael: ENOUGH. {powerfully} [1/6] Mael: Are you out of your minds?? You were about to kill your brother! {horrified} [2/6] Dwendle: I... You're... right. We… {horrified} [3/6] Mael: You should leave. All of you. This isn’t what being a Twain was about… {sadly} [4/6] Theorick: Mph. None of us are Twains. Not me. Not you. We’re an old man's delusion. {spitefully} [5/6] Rickeo: Mael... I… {unsure} [6/6] Mael: I know, Ricke. Just go. {sadly} [1/4] Mael: Dad... I'm sorry… {sadly} [2/4] ???: Well... At least you can’t say my funeral was boring. {amused} //Marius [3/4] Mael: What does all this mean? The Twains are over? {sadly} [4/4] ???: The Twains ended the day Theorick left us. You should stay here though, there is one who will one day need your help… {explaining} //Marius Twain
