[Play] Rossom Act 2 Scene 1

 There is a stark anvil, and Alquin is pounding on it.

Alquin

I am the forger of chains

I am the breaker of chains

I am the builder of Robots

I am the empowerer of a new race

I am the example of folly.

What have I done?

What could I have done?

You tell me future reader

You tell me.


Maximus

Mr. Rossom would ask you to dinner sir.


Alquin

I do not wish to come to dinner.


Maximus

He has a proposal sir.

An idea of most dark portent.


Alquin

Is there any idea he has not?

He plays god because he think it wise

Not to triumph but to close his eyes.


Maximus

I am unable to read his mind. 

Will you come?


Alquin

(beat)

Yes.  He is still the boss, isn't he?
