Dinner At Mia’s
A Ronin Dialogue
By ZooMagna aka Jess
(All the Warriors, Kayura, Mia and Yulie are seated in her dinnerhall awaiting Ryo’s return from Toyko) Mia: (Looking at her watch) He is rarely ever on time! Kento: He was probbaly helping someone get a cat out of a tree. (Cye elbows Kento. He coughs with a mouth fall) Sage: Rowen, put that book down! Rowen: (Puts book down, but then picks it up) You ought to take up more reading Sage! Sekhment: Why do you always drag us to dinners like this Kayura? (Pushes his plate away) Kayura: There are no cooks quite like Cye in the Nether Realm. (Cye blushes) Cye: Thank you. Dais: My spiders better get leftovers! (Spiders crawl onto his plate) Kento: Well, stop being so spidery! You give me arachneaphobia! (Dais gives him an evil glare) (Enter Ryo) Ryo: I have a very important message from a weird character! (Everyone is silent. Kento spits out his food and Cye drops his plate.) Sage: What is it? Rowen: (Puts book down) How important can it be? Anubis: It better not be news of a new force invading earth. That is getting quite dull. (Everyone nods in agreement) Ryo: It is out of this world! Kento: Like space food? (Cye elbows Kento) Hey! Sekhment: Such children! Ryo: (Loudly) Listen before it’s too late! (Everyone is still) We have been invited to participate in a superhero softball game! Everyone: What????? Yulie: Cool! Sage: How lame is that? Rowen: To fantastic to believe. Cale: I hate stadiums and I hate the happy cheering crowds. Sekhment: I’ll poison their food to make them be silent! (Beats fist on table) Ryo: You can’t use super powers- Kento: Well I’ll be super strong and hit homeruns! Kayura: What is the objective of this? Mia: That is what I would like to know! Anubis: This is of no value to protecting this Realm- Ryo: Wait! (Everyone goes quiet) We get to meet other superheros like the Sailor Scouts, X-men, the Avengers- Sage:Wo-hoo! Sailor Moon! Now they are some hot chics! Kento: Hubba! Rowen: (Rolls his eyes) How can they play softball in high heels and microminis? Mia: Exactly! Kayura: In my day, no one dressed so scantily- Sekhment and Cale: It’ll be like the beach! Cye: We should never have taken them swimming- Mia: Now all they think of is- Sekhment and Cale: Women! Dais: When you are in the Dynasty for 400 years and have no women around like on earth. It gets pretty boring. (Rolls eyes) Cale: That’s why you took up knitting spiderwebs! (Laughs) Ryo: So what do we do? Sage: We are going! Sailor Moon! Wo-hoo! Rowen: I would like to know more about the X-men, especially Beast- Yulie: Get their autographs! (Everyone laughs) Kento: I’ll be homerun king! (Imitates batting) Sage: I’ll be catcher and charm all the ladies at bat! Dais: I will pitch and use illusions so no one can get runs off me.(Laughs) Cye: I’ll swim off to centerfield. Rowen: I would rather play soccer- Anubis: I do not want to play! (Pouts) It is childish! Cale: Poor Anubis! I think i would be a good short-shop because no one can get past my darkness! Sage: I did (Cale snarls) Mia and Kayura: Not another fight! Ryo: So are we in or out? Kento: Don’t matter- Sage: When cute girls- Sekhment: In short skirts- Cale: Play ball- (Mia and Kayura groan) Ryo:Okay guys, we’ll do it! Rowen: Oh fine, I’ll just go to the outfield and calculate where the balls will land. Anubis: Well, I’m not going! (Everyone is silent) Cye: Not even for us? We need team work- Sage: Not for girls? Kento: Not even food? Dais: Not for glory? Rowen: Not even for a Scooby Snack? (Everyone rolls their eyes) Anubis: I’ll go if everyone stops gripping about how I was as warlord! Ryo: Okay- Cale, Sekhment and Dais: Um.....maybe..... Kayura: Please warriors, unite and learn about other superheros, not just about how cute the Sailors are! Ryo: In that case- All Ronins: We won’t go! We want to have fun! Mia: Oh, why do we even bother. These warriors are dysfuctional. Rowen: (pouts) Not reverse psychology! Kento: Reverse what? (Stomach growls) Sage: So what will we do? Ryo: How about we go in our armor- Rowen- The extra weight will make us hit the balls with more momentum- Cye: Continue! Ryo: And show off to everyone just how much cooler our superhero costumes are! We don’t wear skirts, or matching costumes or have silly spandex costumes- Sage: Those Power rangers do dress awful! (Sticks out tongue) Kayura: Ahhh! Mia: Let’s go Kayura. They are about to have another fight! (Exit Kayura and Mia) Ryo: Where are they going? Dais: Does it matter? We have plans to make! Sekhment: Amazing plans! (laughs) (Everyone laughs as the scene darkens!)
