The Tragedy of The Psychedelic Magician and His Benevolent Army of Latin Terminologies
The Play
introducing the characters in order of appearance:
- Psychedelic Magician - an eccentric old hermit.
- Latin terminologies - an army of benevolent latin terminologies. Prone to vanity and violence.
- Fool - A mexican man in a purple poncho who slowly develops into madness. Damnit we spoiled the plot! Well, what does he develop from? Eh? Eh?
- Poogle - this doesn't exist, we just thought the word was cool.
- Ighand - an italian witch doctor who believes in peace and wants to smack the shit out of Psychedelic Magician. Wears glasses.
- The British Public - they make most of the magician's decisions after democracy ran riot.
- Democracy - although he doesn't feature in this play, we just wanted to point out that he's a wanker.
- Raven sitting on a skull - (ominous)
Act I Scene I
Psychedelic Magician: (casting a spell) Nem lauxe som ohr ofsi aide pik iw!
Psychedelic Magician: Woop!
Ighand: Ooh, what are those? latin terminologies? You big sissy. I use manly terminologies like moreover and bulldog! Where can I set my horses?
Psychedelic Magician: You're just being mean. I'th'mire.
Ighand: Prithee, if thou lov'st me, tell me.
Psychedelic Magician: I love thee not.
Latin Terminologies: Vice versa ergo.
Fool: Prithee, holmes! If a man's brains were in's heels, were't not in danger of being shanked in the ear?
Psychedelic Magician: ...yes?
Fool: Then I prithee be merry; thy wit shall not go slipshod, holmes.
Psychedelic Magician: Ha, ha, ha. I can actually understand shakespearean terminology, so stop calling me stupid!
Fool: Shalt see thy other girlfriend will use thee; for though she's as like this as a crab's like an hero, yet I can eat fajitas.
Latin Terminologies: Verily, error illustratus. Et cetera.
Fool: If thou wert me, I'd have thee beaten for being a sop o'th'moonshine, better known as a man so full of sword holes that one can see one's liver having the moon shone upon't!
Fool: She that's a virgin now, and laughs at my departure, shall not be a virgin long.
Ighand: Wait, didn't he die? I guess the writer's lost the plot, and he's the one who's supposed to be writing it! How now? are the horses ready?
Psychedelic Magician: I will not set your horses.
Ighand: Why then, I care not for thee.
Psychedelic Magician: If I had thee in my grasp, I would make thee care for ME! Wanker, I know thee.
Ighand: What dost thou know me for?
Psychedelic Magician: Wanking. I'll make a sop o' the moonshine of you: draw, you wanking wanky wanker, draw!
Ighand: Draw what?
Psychedelic Magician: Two swords, with which we can have imaginary fights!
Ighand: Can't we just have a physical fight? Look, I have two real swords here!
Psychedelic Magician: (sighs) fine. I guess you forgot to read the health & safety papers that came with the script.
Ighand: I did read it! If smoking is a form of reading.
Ighand: Ow! You slap like an anorexic cripple!
Fool: I should'st think his hand tastes as a tortilla does to tequila. (is slapped) Help, hoe! murder! help!
Ighand: You haven't seen the last of me! Mwahahaa
