Not A Villain

Shenanigan time >:D

Class 1-A's concert had been a hit. Everyone at the concert thoroughly enjoyed it, and it truly raised the spirits of everyone who was involved. Now, however, it was class 1-B's turn to take the spotlight.

"Here we stand, amidst the town of Camelot," Ibara's voice shot through the darkened stage. "Our young prince, Romeo-" A light turns on, illuminating Monoma, who stands confidently on the side of the stage. "Is on his way to obtain the mythical weapon known as the Lightsaber, to wield its power and defeat He Who Shall Not Be Named."

The stage lit up completely, revealing a castle. Kendo stood at a balcony, staring down at Romeo.

"Oh Juliet!" Monoma called, smiling widely as he did a dramatic pose. "Might I ask thou how thee is on this fine morning?"

"... Romeo, your blabbering is getting annoying," Kendo replied, wiping the smile off the blond's face. "Why do you always speak like that?"

Monoma cleared his throat, standing up straight. "I was just asking."

"Yeah, yeah, today's been boring," she spoke, leaning on her palm on the railing.

"Juliet!" Another voice called from inside the castle, and Kendo looked back as Tokage walked out onto the balcony as well. She gasped upon the sight of Monoma. "Dear daughter, why are you talking to this boy again?" She questioned. "You know he's rumored to be the son of... you know who."

"Excuse me!" Monoma called. "He's not actually my dad you know!"

"Oh shut it!" Lady Capulet yelled. "Go fight a bear or something, Romeo!!"

"If you wish, Lady Capulet!" Monoma replied, humming as he turned and marched away.

"That boy is an idiot," Tokage mumbled.

"He's only an idiot most of the time," Kendo responded, and Tokage rolled her eyes.

"Shush dear girl! It's time for your next lesson!"

Kendo rolled her eyes. "Fine," she said, moving past Tokage. "Then let's go."

Tokage nodded and followed, and the stage blacked out. It stayed that way for a few moments, the sound of rapid shuffling apparent, before it lit back up again, now set in a marketplace. Romeo stopped and looked over at the two persons present on the stage. Touya stood in front of a stall, and Awase was behind it.

"Are you doing okay, Clyde?" Touya questioned.

Awase simply bopped in place, a welcoming grin on his face. "What can I get for ya, Kenny?"

"Um, I only asked how you were doing."

"What a lovely day to make a purchase!"

"Cl-"

"What can I get for ya, Kenny?"

Touya blinked at him cluelessly, before looking over and smiling as he saw Monoma. "Romeo," he greeted.

Monoma grinned and started forward. "Have you two seen Ron Weasley around?" He asked.

"What a lovely day to make a purchase!"

Monoma's expression shifted concernedly. "Is he okay?"

Touya shrugged as Awase continued. "What can I get for ya, Kenny?"

Touya groaned. "Why do you only have two lines of dialogue??"

"There's a crazy rumor going around recently," Awase said.

"A rumor?? What is it??" Monoma questioned.

"What a lovely day to make a purchase!"

Monoma frowned. "Why are you an NPC?"
