(Here's the story behind this one...the characters of my first book Illusions, and the characters of my current project POD are battling it out with the help of a therapist to see which one will prevail...the only conclusion is that I have way too much spare time on my hands...)
THERAPIST: Good Morning everybody.
(RANDOM MUMBLINGS)
THERAPIST: Give it some effort at least!
JAMIE: I’m trying, dammit! Why can’t you all just appreciate that!
AMBER: We’re trying, but you won’t let us!
ANICA: Both of you, shut it and stop complaining about your melodramatic
stuff. Okay? I was supposed to save the realms, but my story got cut!
JAMIE: Lucky bitch! You’re father didn’t rape you!
ANICA: You didn’t die!
JAKE(quietly)- technically…
KYLIA: Stop with the technicalities, please.
JAKE: I just don’t see how being melodramatic is bad, okay?
ANICA: Have you ever even read POD?
JAKE: No
THERAPIST: Now this is productive…
ZANDER: Look, apparently we all have some issues to work out, so maybe
doing this together was a bad idea…
ANICA: Zander, you’re my friend and all…but SHUT UP!
THERAPIST: Anica, I understand you’re upset…
ANICA: I’m leaving…
(ANICA EXITS)
JAMIE: And she calls me melodramatic…
MARY: Like she’s the only one to ever storm out
JAMIE: What’s that supposed to mean?
AMBER: You always run away from a problem
ZANDER: Hello! Has this just turned into a PODfest, or are we going to get
our shine time?
JAMIE: PODfest? What’s that supposed to mean?
ZANDER: That everything to you guys is about you! Filthy human pricks…
TAMMY: Getting harsh there furry…
ZANDER: It’s a mane, silicone.
TAMMY: They’re real!
KYLIA: Yeah right…
RICHARD: (to Kylia)- Who are you?
KYLIA: Kylia…
RICHARD: Can I talk to you…alone?
JAMIE: Sick bastard! Kylia, don’t do it, please, trust me.
KYLIA: Jamie, not everything is about you…now just because you have a
chance at people reading you…
THERAPIST: May we please get on topic now?
EVERYBODY: SHUT UP!!!
THERAPIST: Fine…but you guys need help…
JAMIE: More than you know…
RICHARD: So…Kylia
KYLIA: Come on, I know a place.
(RICHARD, KYLIA, AND THERAPIST LEAVE)
JAMIE: Do you know what he’s going to do?
JAKE: Kylia can take care of herself, unlike some people I’ve read…
ZANDER: So you have read it?
JAKE: Maybe…
AMBER: Look Jamie, I’m sure Richard just wanted to talk to Kyle
JAKE: It’s KyLIA…LIA.
AMBER: Whatever
JAKE: She was more developed you know…
AMBER: Whatever.
JAMIE (crying): How can you say she’ll be alright?
JAKE: I know her.
JAMIE: But you don’t know him…
AMBER: She’ll be fine…
JAMIE: YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HE DOES! You’ve never experienced it!
AMBER: Jamie…I’ve been meaning to tell you…
JAMIE: Oh my God…he got you too?
AMBER: Yeah…
JAMIE: You liar! You just want all the attention!
AMBER: What? Why would I lie about something like that?
JAMIE: Because you’re jealous!
AMBER: You think I want people knowing your sick father raped me?
JAKE: Whoa now! Rape? I thought it was about lesbians.
AMBER AND JAMIE: NO!
JAKE: Dammit…when’s she going to write about something interesting….
(JAKE LEAVES)
ZANDER: You two should stop fighting….
TAMMY: I swear, they’re real…
JAMIE: They are real.
JAKE: WHAT?
TAMMY: Nothing Jake, LEAVE!
(JAKE LEAVES…AGAIN)
JAMIE: None of you care about me!
AMBER: I care
JAMIE: So! You’re just a suck up
AMBER: BITCH!
JAMIE: SLUT!
AMBER: WHORE!
JAMIE: SKANK!
AMBER: Uh…uh…shit…
(AMBER LEAVES)
JAMIE: VICTORY!!!
ZANDER: Harlot…
JAMIE: What?
ZANDER: Fancy word for prostitute…
TAMMY: I am NOT!
JAMIE: So…does that mean?
ZANDER: Yeah.
JAMIE: Dammit…
(JAMIE LEAVES)
MARY: So, Tammy…when Richard asked you to marry him, did he tell you
about AIDS?
TAMMY: Really?
MARY: Really. It’s the reason we use protection.
TAMMY: Shit…I’ve…gotta go…
ZANDER(under his breath): Harlot…
(TAMMY LEAVES)
MARY: So, it’s just you and me, Goat.
ZANDER: I believe the technical term would be Filenze.
MARY: Whatever, I’m still going to win…
ZANDER: Your husband doesn’t love you.
(MARY RUNS AWAY CRYING)
ZANDER: YES! I win! Now everybody shall hear that filenze are going to take
over the world!!! *Maniacle laugher*
(ZANDER LEAVES ROOM LAUGHING AND SHUTS OFF THE LIGHT BEHIND HIM)
(A FAINT GOLDEN GLOW CAN BE SEEN IN ONE CORNER OF THE ROOM)
FISIX: Why does everybody always forget about me?

Funny, but... abusive. Bad language and all puts me off.
Wow, I have never seen somebody do this before....it was hilarious!
Obviously I know the POD characters well, but I'm unsure with the Illusions characters. Even then, I really got into it and it was amazing how all the character's personalities shone through and how argumentative they were.
This is a great idea for character developing or even just to sort things out in your head. Having all those characters flying around must be mad, as we have seen.
This was very original and funny, I liked it!
