Hey, I just started doing some monologue-ish stuff. I'm not that attached to it, but I figure ya gotta start somewhere:
Baba Yaga: I do not like to air my dirty laundry.
I would have made a good aristocrat. Perhaps I did.
Dutchess of Deliverance? (chuckles) Maybe.
No, I do not like my business known by those who do not need it. Which is everyone.
And I do not care for gossip, though my gate chatters away like an uncouth laundress and my post and pans are among the nosiest of people. Or were.
Your brother, he would have made a good frying pan.
But he also would have made a good knish.
(girl starts to cry)
It woul dnot have happened if your whore of a mother had seen that he was not ready and put him back in to finish cooking! An impolite, disgusting child! When i find him again I will rebake him myself!

Baba Yaga:
Is that so? Well, tell me then child, what is the difference between lying and pretending? One is meant to deceive and one is not?
One is spoken, one lies un-uttered?
One is a game? Both are a game!
Is one true?
How do you tell the difference?
No! It's all true, it's all pretend, now stop your lying or i'll give your tongue to my cats.

I like the first one a whole lot. I like the idea of her referencing her own multiplicity which I feel like she does a little of here.
ReplyDeleteAlso "No, I do not like my business known by those who do not need it. Which is everyone." Why is she so guarded? Was she burned like in Ashur's? Does she really mean it?
