[Play] A Hand Grenade Loose in King Arthur’s Court A Play By Rhombus Ticks Act 1 Scene 2

 Scene 2

Two Heralds, standing on different vertical levels, one above the other meet.   They are unable to touch but interact verbally.  

Herald One

Hark servant of Camelot, I see your vile colors still shine and thy banner stains the light.

Herald Two

Hark servant of Eastland, I see your foul mouth still pours forth vapors as the bog.

Herald One

Behold the assembled host of my master, six kingdoms harken to his banner, four thousand strong.

Herald Two

It is true that we are but two thousand, but behold the rabble at thy master’s feet, lickspittles, backbiting and quarrels infest thy number.  And Arthur is rightful king of all the Britons.  God is on our side.

Herald One

God is on the side of the latest armies.  We shall crush thy flotsam band.  Hark! See the first waves meet each other on the field.

Herald Two

What carnage! See the heads on lances on the valiant knights of Camelot!

Herald One

No less so that of Eastland! Now see the second wave sally forth.

Herald Two

(Winces) It is an ill omen.

Herald One 

(Laughs) You will rue the day!

Herald Two

What is this?  Merlin’s work assuredly, some portal opens up in the middle of the field.

Herald One

Your demon wormtounge will not save you.  God is on our side.

Herald Two

Your knights attack the newcomer, dressed in strange clothing and decorated in all manner of curious colors.  They will regret this.

Herald One

I find it highly unl….Great God! What is this?

Herald Two

Thunder in bottles and strange colors, slippery oils and noxious gasses that this alchemist from another world hues and cries on thy foul nights.  I told you Merlin would do us right.

Herald One

It’s...impossible.  So many explosions! LIke lightning called to earth on a cloudless sky.

Herald Two

Thou art in retreat!  Arthur wins the day!

Herald One

You will regret this.  We will win in the end.  (Leaves)

Herald Two

All hail this strange knight from afar! Welcome to Camelot stranger! Welcome Alchemist of wonder!

 Scene 1 

Order and Chaos stand opposite each other on stage.  When possible everything else should be cleared.

Order: Welcome Brother, another match on this, our favorite game board of Camelot.  I see that you have opened the portals to other worlds.  What randomness will you inflict on these poor folk this loop around? A spaceman? A Connecticut Yankee?  You have lost six times in a row to me.  Why not just give up?

Chaos: I love you, I hate you, I love you.  We are twins and yet could never be further apart.  These games of ours, they are how we prove each other the best.

Order: And yet...I keep proving that I am the better?

Chaos: Castles in Sand brother, castles in Sand.  You win the match but you lose the war; Camelot goes away.  

Order: outside of the scope of our match, what do I care for the inhabitants of this little mud ball?  Entropy is part of Order in the right context, it is the natural state of things in the fallen world.

Chaos: But it is here brother? In this realm of ideas where we play, this is the idea of Camelot, not just the mundane Earthly realm but the imprint of it upon every Other Earth.  Here, the stakes we play for echo throughout time.

Order: What is, is what is.  What must be is what must be.

Chaos: Are you so certain?  Wouldn’t you like for Camelot to finally be more than a blueprint for future societies but an island of order?

Order: What are you proposing?

Chaos: Let us up the stakes.  Let us play for more than the apex of the board, but its ultimate fate.

Order: Intriguing.  Let us see what this loop brings from your randomness, and mayhap I will consider it.

Chaos: Excellent, let the games begin.

Order: Let the games begin.

During the Coup - What to Expect

In 1993 as an LDS missionary in Venezuela, I was in a 3 day coup attempt that was stopped.  I will leverage my personal experience as well as knowledge of history, current events and politics to walk you through what it will be like in this country when a coup attempt (unless stopped by voting reform) takes place.

The $ins of $ilicon Valley - Epilogue: Where do we go from here?

Finito.  Fin.  Done.  Many episodes later, I have finished what I started and exposed and analyzed the corrupt culture of Silicon Valley and how toxic CHUUD technofascists have taken the wonder and glory of science and STEM and turned into a dystopian nightmare and the second gilded age ripe to hand the keys to Frankenstein's Nightmare over to the First American Reich as early as 2025.

So now that I've done this, what am I, personally, gonna do about it?  TLDR? Delete my damn Facebook account ONCE and FOR GOOD.
