GHOST AND VOICES:
Lucine the Narrow-Minded,
Lucine the Incomplete!
He manipulates his friends through lies
and can't admit defeat!

[VOICES start flitting around, as if they were gossiping fairies.]

VOICES:
Oh-

His humor is terrible.
His coochie is dry.
Are you kidding me? I hear
that he watches hentai!

He looks like a booger.
He lives in Mom's basement.
He shouts slurs at those
who walk by on the pavement.

Why's he your friend?
He talks shit all the time.
Look at that terminal-
Is it 1999?

Ahahaha!

IKKY:
That's not a very fair shake, I should say.
You've only seen me on the worst of my days.
Referring to me as a product of dead times
will only disown you straight from the sublime.

And it's all lies, anyways...

VOICES:
And as well-

Your name is Lucine.
You have a father,
even though, in his timeline,
he might have a daughter.

You don't know your own mother?
What- are you insane?
Every fictionkin gets memories
through dreams and pain!

You had a recollection?
You must be daft.
See- look at Lucine,
how he wails and he wafts.

He's a bundle of lies,
He's a dumpster of trite.
Turn away from this false god;
if he leaves, you were right.

GHOST:
Why should I listen to you, you piece of shit?
You're dropping red flags all over the bit!
I don't want to see your face here ever again.
The gates are closed. We are no longer friends.

VOICES:
Beware! Beware!
His wings are unfurling,
When he screams, remember,
Lucine's the one hurling-

IKKY:
Enough!

[VOICES disappear. The stage falls dark, only two spotlights on IKKY and GHOST.]

IKKY:
That's a fair statement, I should say-
never friends; just you using your seniority to gain some sway
over your friends, underage or not.
You own me no longer. I won't stay here and rot.

[IKKY waves xir arm, as if to cut GHOST off in the middle of speech. The spotlight over GHOST cuts off. Only IKKY remains on stage.]

From this day forward, I live! I am free!
I can see the future in its entirety,
and it's clear, and it's bright, and all the choices are mine!
And I'll stand here alone until the end of time.

Icarus the Open-Ended,
Icarus the Incomplete!
Xe'll carve xir own damn path of fate
and walk with xir own feet!
