"Faults of the theater? Weren't you talking about how that Cucumber fellow was a horrible actor, and how he was uncouth and ungrateful and stuff? If I had to place a bet, the only fault of the theater in your eyes would be Cucumber! Right...?" C r e a m .
Wait. Is that werewolf still around? Quick, double-check⦠no? Okay.Immediately, Legatoās whole demeanor changes; less like a child afraid to get tattled on, and more like the star he absolutely is.
āHahaha!āĀ There it is: the laugh, the smile, the literal spotlight shining down on him. (Ignore that red aura springing to life from his gaze; that has nothing to do with that ghostās willingness to hold that spotlight above his head. Honest. That ghost is there because he wants to be, and is not at all being possessed.) āIām afraid I canāt deny anything youāve just said about our dear friendā¦āBecause, clearly, Cream was the one who had just called him a horrible, uncouth, and ungrateful actor. Her words, not his.
āBut, fault of the theater or not, Iāve grown to realize that his shortcomings arenāt entirely his fault! Not all actors can be as brilliant as others! But, I digress. Iāve put our silly arguments behind me! Iāve moved on! I have plays to write, audiences to captivate! I canāt grace the theaters of Dreamside with my endless talents if Iām busy feuding with Cucumber, now, can I?āAnd that giant, emptyĀ cage a pair of ghosts are rolling by in the background, with a tattered Ugly Boy banner draped across the bars? Thatāsā¦A decoration.Yes. An odd, out-of-place decoration, nothing more. One not at all intended to be a future prison of any sort.
