E-writing assignment 2

DIALOGUES:

1. b) A childlike creature dressed in muddy rags is rudely awakened from her sleep by what appears to be an inquisitive leprechaun prodding her with an oak twig.

-Excuse me, wake up little friend. Why are you laying here? It’s all wet and cold in the woods, why are you laying here? You could get sick, this is no place for a little creature like you to sleep, why are you laying here? This rotten tree is no shelter in the night, why are you laying here?
- Go away, leave me alone!
-No, you should not be laying here, why are you laying here?
-Stop poking me with that oak twig, it hurts. Go away!
-I’ll stop poking you, I was just trying to wake you up, I’m sorry. I will not go away until you answer me little friend, why are you laying here?
-I just want to sleep, I don’t want to tell an old leprechaun about why I’m sleeping here.
-Then I’ll stand here poking you with my stick and keep on asking my question until you find it better to answer this old leprechauns question than lying there. Why are you laying here?
-I really just wanted you to leave me alone, you don’t know what I might cause telling you why I’m laying here but since you are incredibly stubborn I’ll have to tell you, come closer so they don’t hear us!
-Who are they? It’s very late, are you sure they’re up?
-I’m sure, they’re always watching. One day I was walking through the woods to find some food. They were watching me and just when I was about to grab some lingonberries I fell through the ground into their nest.
-Who are they? And what has this got to do with you laying here?
-You see, they’re the keepers of these woods, they can see everything happening here and they can cast spells over almost every creature passing through. That’s what happened to me.
-I’ve been living here for as long as I can remember and have never gotten in touch with these, "keepers" you call them? Are you making this up as you go along? What are these spells you are talking about?
-Leprechauns are immune to their spells, you have lived here longer than them and are the only ones who can fight them but since they are invisible your kind has never seen them. I’m not making this up! There is only one way to fight them and break the spells they have cast, to break the spells keeping innocent creatures like me stuck in the woods.
-What is the solution to this madness going on in my homewoods? Now that I know about it maybe I could gather my kind and fight the keepers!
-You have to find them, they’re only seen on the longest day of the year and they are very small, and you have to poke them with your oak twigs, it is the only way out!


2. Scenario: Three teenage girls are in a shop looking for something to wear for a party in the evening when suddenly two of them, Leia and Reia, grab the same dress and both of them refuse to let it go. The third girl, Veia, tries to settle the dispute.
Reia: You always try to take whatever is mine, let go of the damn dress, I saw it first!
Leia: (Aggressively) Seriously? Seriously?! I always take your stuff? What about that cute guy Rick two weeks ago or that purse we both wanted last week? What about them?
Reia: (Superiorly) I can’t help that Rick thought I was prettier than you and wanted to hang out with me instead and that purse wasn’t that fine anyway! Besides this isn’t about them, this is about the dress, let it go!
Veia: (Concerned) Girls, maybe we could draw lots or something? We were supposed to have a nice time together, not fight over some dress.
Reia & Leia: (In chorus) Seriously? Seriously?! Draw lots? I don’t think so!
Veia: (Mumbling) Good that you agree on at least one thing.
Leia: (Irritated) Excuse me, what are you saying Veia? Do you have more excellent ideas?!
Reia: (Getting louder) Stop talking to her and let go of the dress before anyone gets hurt!
Leia: Before anyone gets hurt?! If someone is getting hurt around here it’s going to be you!
Reia: (Laughing) That’s what you think, huh?
Veia: (Embarrassed and stressed) Could we just go now? Everybody’s starring?
Leia: (With no shame) You can go, I’m not leaving until I have this dress in a pink little bag around my wrist!
Reia: Stop being so rude to her!
Leia: (Laughing) Oh that came from the right person.
Reia: (Indifferent) Whatever. Simply give me the dress and we can get out of here.
Veia: (Walking away) Enough! I’m leaving now, don’t bother calling me tonight, I’ll go to the party with someone else, wearing something old since you two can’t get along long enough to find me an outfit. Have a nice life!
Leia: No, stop, Veia. We can leave as soon as I’ve payed for the dress. (To Reia) For real, if you don’t let go of the dress now I’ll never talk to you ever again!
Reia: Like I care, who says I won’t do the same to you if you don’t let it go?!
Leia: (Desperately) Our best friend is walking away, we need to stop fighting about this dress and run after her, don’t you get that?
Reia: Yes I do and the solution is easy; let go of the dress!
Leia: (Even more desperately) For ones I want to be the one getting the goods. My shoes! They are almost totally new, I’ll give them to you if you just let go of the freaking dress!
Reia: (Letting go of the dress with a satisfied smirk) Okay, fine! (Quietly) I always get something I want in the end.


3.
- You’re not real, this is unreal! This isn’t happening!
- No maybe I’m not real anymore but I’m here aren’t I?
- You can’t be here, this is just wrong. This isn’t happening…
- Don’t walk away, I’m here. I need to talk to you! I can’t leave before I’ve talked to you.
- This isn’t real! This isn’t real. This isn’t real…
- It has to be some kind of real since we are both here talking to each other. I need to talk to you before I go, as I said I can’t leave before I’ve talked to you. I need to say some things before I go.
- Oh my god, I’m not normal, you can’t be here. This is crazy!
- How many times do I have to make clear that I am here? You have to listen to me!
- Okay? Okay. This is crazy and unreal but if I listen to you now, then you can leave? How do you mean leave?
- Leave in the way you should leave in my condition, as you’re repeating: it’s unreal and I shouldn’t be here. I feel that and I want to leave but I have to tell you some things before I go! I’m scared but I need you to know some things before I leave.
- You already left, I held you when you did. This is out of this world, literally out of this world. I love you, but this is too much for me to handle.
- I know, and I love you too, and this is exactly what I need to tell you before I go. I know that I yelled at you that morning but I’m not angry, I need you to know that I’m not angry. I don’t want all that yelling to be our last conversation, I love you! This I want you to hear before I go.
- I don’t want you to leave, we were supposed to spend the rest of our days together! I have a bunch of days left. You weren’t supposed to leave yet!
-I don’t want to leave either but I guess this is my destiny, maybe we were supposed to crash the car and maybe I’m supposed to go. We have to try seeing this like it was meant to be, I want you to have the best life you can possibly have even if I’m not there. I know that I will always have a place in your heart but I want you to be able to make space for new people. I always have and I always will love you but you will have to try to go on without me. You are the kindest and most loving person I’ve met, don’t ever forget that. Good bye Michael, take care of you and the house. Don’t keep my things for too long, they will not make you happier. I love you…
-Don’t go, please! Laura? Laura…


That's that, hope you're having a good time in the summer sun!
