Admin: Hey again, everyone!

Chrom: Hello.

Admin: ...

Chrom: What?

Admin: I have no useless drabble to say before I announce the dare.

Chrom: Huh. That's a first, Admin.

Admin: Yeah... Anyway, today's dare comes in from @youshallnotknow!

-I dare all the Fire Emblem children to act out a Shakespeare play scene!

Admin: Heh! Nice! Hmm... I think I might do Hamlet.

Chrom: Huh? Why?

Admin: So it isn't what everyone else does! It isn't Romeo and Juliet, which pretty much everyone goes over. I think Hamlet should get more attention!

Chrom: ... It's because David Tennant playee Hamlet multiple times, isn't it...

Admin: ... Possibly. Anyway, help me round up the kids!

*All kids (that I have so far) gather around*

Admin: *passes out lines* Okay, we'll do a few scenes so all of you get a part.

Lucina: Father, why do you look so pleased?

Chrom: Hmm? Oh, i,'m just glad that you--

Lucina: It's because you don't have to, isn't it?

Chrom: Urk!

Admin: *claps hands* Okay, everyone! Places! We'll start with Act One!

Inigo: *a guard, at his post* *daydreaming of girls*

Brady: Who's there?

Inigo: No, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.

Brady: *straightens up*

Backstage, or B for the rest)

Maribelle: Ha! Finally!

(Stage, or S)

Brady: Long live the Exalt!

Inigo: Bra--er, Bernardo?

Brady: Yeah.

Inigo: You come most carefully upon your hour. *really getting into it*

Brady: It's midnight, go to bed, Inigo.

(B)

Admin: Pffft, fat chance. Biggest night owl.

Chrom: Uh... How do you know these thi--

Admin: *puts finger on mouth, shutting it* Shhh.

(S)

Inigo: For this relief, much thanks; 'tis bitter cold and I am sick at heart.

Brady: Spot anything out of the ordinary?

Inigo: Not a mouse stirring.

Brady: Well, g'night then. If you see Morgan an-- I mean Horatio and Marcellus, the other guards, tell 'em to hurry up!

Inigo: I think I hear them. Stand, ho! Who goes there?

*Morgan and Gerome walk in*

Morgan: Friends to this ground.

Gerome: And liegemen to the Exalt.

(B)

Admin: I can't believe I got him to do this.

(S)

Inigo: I bid thee good night.

Gerome: Go to sleep, Inigo.

Morgan: *nudges Gerome*

Gerome: Farewell, honest soldier. Who else is guarding?

Morgan: *nods in approval*

Inigo: Bernardo has my place. Good night. *leaves*

(B)

Inigo: So, how'd I do?

Admin: Fantastic.

(S)

Gerome: Bernardo.

Brady: Hey, is Morg--Horatio there?

(B)

Admin: Nice save, Brady.

(S)

Morgan: A piece of him.

Brady: Welcome, Horatio. Welcome, good Marcellus.

Gerome: Has this thing appeared again tonight?

Brady: I haven't seen nothing.

(B)

Maribelle: *sigh*

Admin: W-well, at least he said haven't instead of ain't!

(S)

Gerome: Horatio says it's but our fantasy, and will not let belief take hold of him, touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us.

Admin: *clapping* Good job, boys! Now, Scene Two, because I'm enjoying this!

Chrom: At this rate, we might have to do multiple parts to fit in the entire play...

Admin: Damn straight we will!

Chrom: What have I done...

Admin: Pfeh. Okay, I'll let it go for today. But this will continue, since we didn't even get to Owain's bit! Look forward to the next installment of Hamlet, preformed by the FEA kids!!!

Chrom: Oooh boy.

Admin: In the meantime, ask, dare, and all that!!!
