~~Act 1, Scene 3~~


*The curtains part again sloowly. The stage is eerily lit, blacks, purples and red ripple over the gnarled and rotting hulls of ancient vessels. Pale, pale white light occasionally flickers over tarnished metal riggings and make the once proud bow-riding maidens look haggish and vengeful. Eerie moan-like sounds echo across the empty stage. They get louder and louder with each *boom*, until even the audience is wincing.

<Tai(*really* loud stage whisper): “TK!! DAVIS!! TURN IT DOWN!! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE HAUNTING, NOT ANNOYING!!”>

<Miyako: “This isn’t a competition-it’s a *play*!!”>

The two boys glower at each other.

One stronger beam picks out Gatomon precariously tiptoeing across the stage*

Goma(cheerily): “So, finally made it, did we? ‘Bout time too. ‘Tis only a half hour till sunrise.”
*Though cat’s eyes are incredible in near darkness, she is a bit overwhelmed by the booms and foggy mists being created OS. AS such, she really means it when she screams at his greeting*

Gato(breathless): “Sea-witch! If your intentions were to me to die of fright, you surely will not be pleased, for I am very much alive!”

Goma(Peeking out of a hole of the largest vessel’s side): “I meant no such thing. To scare you would be fruitless, for *surely* you are no guppy.”

Gato(mollified by the comment): “Well, that is true enough. But enough flattery, Sea-witch! Can you do what you implied to me earlier?”

Goma(now peeking from a hole further down the vessel): “And...what was that again? My poor mind wanders a bit from time to time. Curse of being one thousand. *disappears and reappears in yet another hole, a story away from Gatomon* Though I hardly look a day past eight hundred, wouldn’t you say?”

<Tai: “Joe, can’t you get him to stick to the script?”>

<Joe: “I tried! Apparently Jim told him to ‘Ham it up’, so he took it to heart.”>

<Tai: “Great.”>

Gato(tail flicking out from under her skirt in annoyance): “*You* said you would make me a human to find my love in exchange for my voice!”

Goma: Ah, so. So I did. Yes, I *can* give you lungs and legs, and even direct you towards this prince who holds you in thrall. But, I *can’t* make him love you. You’re on your own there, sweetfins. If he falls in love with another, be they mortal or immortal, you-”

Gato(fearfully): “-Will waste away and become the formless foam that clings neither to sea nor land?”

Goma: “BINGO!”

Gato: “But without a voice, how will I proclaim my love?”

Goma(dismissively): “You’re a smart fishy, you’ll find a way.”

Gato: “Then let us do what must be done. My voice for land legs and lungs, and all things human. My word is my bond, the sea is my witness.”

Goma(smirking): “Then with your word comes your voice! These rotting corpses bear witness to our deal!”

*Gomamon suddenly leaps on the cat, catching her offgaurd. She lands on her backside, and the sea lion kisses her deeply and quickly*

Goma(bouncing off the digi-girl as if nothing odd happened): “Now, you are speechless!”

*laughs, because it’s true-Gatomon, as well as the crew, are stunned silent by this latest ad-lib. Momentarily, anyway.....

<Tai: “JOOE!!”>

<Joe: “Oy....”>

Onstage, the lights begin to sway violently and the sounds of swirling air and water nearly drown out Goma’s next words*

Goma: “Now You Are Mortal In Thought And Deed! No Longer Finned But Footed, And With Those Feet Comes My Final ‘Gift’! With Each And Every Step, You Will Walk As If You Are Upon Red-Hot Knives! Go Girl! Your Pathetic Air-Breathing Lungs Will Fail You Soon If You Don’t Hurry!”
*Lightning strikes near Gatomon to illuminate her ‘struggles’ to gain control of her new appendages. Unfortunately, it also strikes some of the metal rigging and courses through the wood and metal platform Gomamon is dancing on*

Goma: “Say Hi To Your Princey For Me! Mwa-Ha-Ha-Ha-AHHHH!!!!”

*OS: The lights twirl and race faster and more violently, as the ships begin to move up and down. The low booming moans are replaced by ear-splitting shrieks as the mast maidens appear to transform to demons and devils*

Ok! Act 2, coming up! Whaddya think of an evil Goma-chan?
