Note: Still working on it and I'm reading Hamlet, that's where this is coming from. Real angsty, and it makes no sense.
OG summary:
Jordan doesn't know what to make of this. He doesn't understand exactly how any of this happened, but it did; and well... now he's dead, and he doesn't know what to think of that either.
Act 1 Scene 1:
A young man wanders through a forest near sunset, wildlife filling the space with soft noise.
[Enter Alex]
Alex: I figured I'd find you out here.
Jordan: Needed to get away.
Alex: I know...
Jordan: My mother can't see, and my uncle, he has no sense of anything.
Alex: Your uncle is a party animal, first thing he did with her was sex. Skipped right through the honeymoon.
Jordan: Great.
(Beat)
Jordan: It's like nothing even happened... Alex, my father. H-he, if he were here...
Alex: If he were here he'd smack you upside your head.
*Jordan sadly snickers*
Jordan: I just wish I knew what happened.
Alex: Now I'm no investigator, but I overheard that he was killed.
Jordan: Killed!? My father. Killed. Alex, you're supposed to be the smart one here.
Alex: I know, but think about it for a moment. The whole thing... It-it seemed staged.
Jordan *scoffs*: I can't belive what I'm hearing, and from you of all people.
Alex: Jordan, hear me out-
Jordan: Let me stop you right there, Alex, I love you dearly. But please listen to yourself danmit!
Alex: I am!
[Exit Jordan]
Alex: I can't belive this man.
(Alex walks after Jordan)
Alex: Go ahead, be depressing, mourn till your dammed death Jordan. I swear, He's going to be the death of me.
[Alex catches up to Jordan]
Jordan: Still here?
Alex: I'm not going anywhere.
Jordan: I am. Now leave me alone.
[Exit Jordan]
Alex: Fine. Be that way.
[Exit Alex]
Act 1 Scene 2:
Two guards pace around the perimeter of a castle.
Sam: So danm cold.
William: Yup.
Sam: Why do we have to work tonight?... Maybe the new king is just paranoid. Yeah.
William: Sure.
(Beat)
Sam: I'm bored.
William: Yup.
Sam: Wish something would happen besides more snow.
William: Yeah.
(Long pause)
Voice: Jordan...
