Dir En Grey Concert
Act 1 of Amnesia
Disclaimer:It's short and to the point but you have to keep in mind, while reading this, that we had to perform this in fron of our creative writing class. We can't write long things or we lose their attention quick. This isn't to make fun of anybody or anything. It is definately fiction (although I would love if it happened to me). It was written by Courtney, Lindsay, Meliss and me.

Scene 1:Waiting outside the concert in line
(both characters are stage right. Line of characters waiting and chatting stage left. Roxanne holding books in arms)
Lindsay: Hello lassy. You don�t look like the type to attend this kind of rock concert.
Roxanne: What makes you think that? I�ve got the hair. (points to hair)
Lindsay: (points to books in rox�s hands) The literature.
Roxanne: I�m an author and this is my muse. (indicates surrounding area) I needed inspiration, and I absolutely adore Dir en grey. Can you hold my books for me with my bag?
Lindsay: Write your name down on the tag, please. (takes books and purse after rox writes her name and reads tag) Okay�Roxanne, thank you. Just wait in line over there. (points to line of a few people stage left)
(Roxanne walks stage left behind a girl in line)
Girl: I love your hair. It�s like Kyo�s, ne? I did my hair like Kaoru, except my mother wouldn�t let me dye it fuscia. (indicates outfit) She said only hookers dress this way. She doesn�t understand. Parents never understand. I wish I could just get lost. Right here, get lost and never find my way back to my family. My mom drinks and she beats the cat all the time. My brother comes home all doped up and picks a fight with her over something stupid, usually table tennis. Then my dad comes home all stressed from work at Toshiba and yells at me for being lazy and disrespectful (said in fatherly tone and scowling) �Why can�t you help your poor mother around the house more? Where�s dinner? I like to sit down to something when I come home from working all day, all day long, while you sit around on your lazy butt watching those queers on your dvd and sing those satanic chants you call songs.� I hate them all and I wish they would die!
Roxanne: That�s too bad.
Girl: Don�t you ever feel that way, sometimes?
Roxanne: Actually, I�m independent of my parents, so we get along really well. I�m self-employed and everything.
Girl: That�s great! Do you play in a band? Or maybe you�re an artist? I have a friend named Sugizo who does paintings of naked people. (proudly) He�s really good. He did one of me.
Roxanne: That�s�nice. I�m a novelist.
Girl: (uninterested all of a sudden as she looks stage right.) Oh�(sees friend, yells stage right) Sugizo! Wait for me!
Scene 2: Balcony at the concert
(tape is being played in backround of Hydra by Dir en grey, as if it were being sung at the concert)
Roxanne: (clutches railing of balcony) ohhh (looking down) They shouldn�t have put me in the balcony seats.
Guy: Awesome concert, eh? Despite the distance from the stage you still fell like you�re right up there onstage with Kyo singing along. (looks at her clutching onto railing and looking sick) Afraid of heights? This balcony is pretty high.
Roxanne: It�s not the height that frightens me, it�s the situation. All these people thrashing around me are a serious safety hazard. Somebody�s bound to go overboard.
Guy: Yeah, a fall like that is sure to kill someone, or at least put them in a real long coma.
Roxanne: That is so reassuring. I�d like to enjoy the rest of this concert. Then I can fall off as many balconies as come my way. As long as I get to see the whole concert, I�m set like cool jello.
Guy: I know exactly what you mean. I�d chew off my arm just to get close to Kyo.
Roxanne: I�d bathe in tarantullas.
Guy: I�d shave my entire body, EVERYTHING! Then I�d paint it pink, and I�d eat raw squirrel meat basted in urine while dancing around a campfire naked.
Roxanne: I�d sit through a five hour narration of Ernest Hemingway.
Guy: (is being serious here) Oh man, you�re one sick freak! You got me beat.
Lindsay: (enters stage left, yelling) Stop that animal! He didn�t pay to get in!
Animal: Ooh oohh ahh ahh hoo ahh ahh ahh.
Guy: (warns Roxanne) Hey, watch out! That furry beast is coming right for you!
Roxanne: Ahh! (mimes falling off balcony onto floor)
Girls: (ad lib) Oh my God! That beast just pushed that girl off the balcony! Did you see that? Did you see the creature push that girl?
Kyo: (voice from backstage) Stop playing your instruments! (as soon as this is said the tape is stopped, should be said at a point in the song with no vocals) Everybody remain calm. Calm! Someone from security get an ambulance. Clear away from the victim! Don�t crowd her. She�s fallen into the back mezzazine. I can see her from the stage.
Lindsay: (has big salmon) You son of an Englishman! DIE! (beats animal with salmon.)
Animal: yelp, ahh! (makes various death sounds, then dies.)
Lindsay: Not on my watch! Nobody gets through Lindsay the crusher and survives!
Scene 3: backstage after concert, boys are trying to change and take out hair after performance
Kyo: That concert was tiring.
Kaoru: One of the most interesting concerts I�ve ever performed in. Good thing you got everyone to calm down when that girl fell. They were really thrashing during that song.
Die: Where did that animal come from? It appeared out of nowhere.
Shinya: That poor girl.
Toshiya: Hey Kaoru, you know what happened to her?
Kaoru: She was taken to the hospital, I think.
Kyo: I hope she�s okay. A fall like that could kill somebody. There�d be blood EVERYWHERE! Head smashed open, brains splattered. There could be brain particles all over the seats for all we know. I bet she broke some bones, too. Lots of bones. Horribly mangled, bloody�
Shinya: Please Kyo, that�s disgusting.
Die: Someone had better go out there and scoop up her brains before they�re gone, then. She might need them back, you know.
Shinya: (almost whispering) I�m going to be sick.
Toshiya: Die, you always make Shinya sick. You guys are a bunch of sickos. Both of you. You should be ashamed.
Kyo: It could happen to any one of us, anytime. Some fan could get a little weird with a blowtorch and poof! Melted Kyo brain all over the stage.
Shinya: Now I�m really going to be sick.
Kyo: Ugh. Then there�d be vomit all over. Vomit and blood and brains. And the smell, of blood and vomit and rotting�
Kaoru: Kyo, that�s enough. Shinya is turning green. We should go see how that girl is, anyway.
Toshiya: She is a fan, after all, and she�s probably not too dead.
Shinya: Not too dead? Toshiya, death is an absolute. How can you only be a little dead?
Die: Shinya, you think you�re so smart.
