Apparently, my cousin's grandfather passed away and for some reason, I thought that I should go and visit my cousin's grandmother just as a kind gesture, and a bunch of people came along since we were all going to watch a play together anyways. (We, as in, everyone I typically hang out with plus some of the Asian guys.) When we arrived, my cousin's grandparents' home was large (similar to real life), except this time, it was more apartment building style and modern instead of one floor of a traditional style home straight across on a large piece of land. There, my cousin's grandmother wasn't there, but we decided to hang around for awhile anyways because her children (she had more than I remembered - and these guys looked Japanese) said they didn't mind if we waited a bit. We were on the top floor / the roof and some of the guys found a volleyball, and while trying to get everyone to play, they brought us up a variety of cookies and crackers. I took this sugar one while sitting next to someone else, and across from two of her sons. One of them asked me to pass him some tiles from next to me; the ones I passed him were white, but then on the bottom, I got to these orangey-red colored ones with pictures of leaves on them and when I tried to give them to him, he said he didn't need those and the whole mood changed to one more cold and distant. In my head, I remember remembering that those tiles were in the bathroom of the grandparents' room, and it was probably a really sensitive subject. After a minute or so, we all went inside (still on one of the higher floors of the building), and my cousin's grandmother is sitting on one of her really expensive looking sofas scolding her children, and I guess us, that if people come to visit her because her husband just died, that the right thing to do be to wake her up. Everyone tried to justify it by saying they didn't know she was home, and I figured that we should leave since she's in a poor mood.
I don't remember how we got there, but when we did, the playhouse was all gray. Legitimately, it was the exit of the Costco on Staten Island where the Customer Service counters are, except more glamorized. Like, instead of the wire fencing, there were curtains and whatnot and the counters were where you bought tickets. The stages for the plays were really cool, instead of one stage where the audience sat in front of it, and that'd be it, these were one large raised platform, where everyone could sit around it. Kind of like in Harry Potter where the Wizard Duels took place and everyone was able to gather round, except this time the platforms weren't so slender, there were decent size and similar to the width/length of an actual stage, if not bigger or smaller. The behind-the-scenes stuff still all went on, except it was either above the stage or below it and when the stage wasn't in use, there was a large curtain that just went around it. Everything was basically the same, except the stage was just 360-viewable. The cast of the plays weren't real people, well, maybe they were, idk, it's open for interpretation, but they were these cartoony characters drawn in the style of this artist I really like, (http://jknozmo.deviantart.com), and they were more magical I guess since they occasionally had these random swirls of color around them while the characters themselves were a monochrome shade of one dark color. Plus, these characters, were legitimately who they were "acting," they would just be retelling their story over and over again on stage. They let us walk around before purchasing a ticket since none of the plays were going to start yet. That's when I for some reason, remember seeing a play with this character named Orphisto or something, (I think I've been watching too much Persona 3 LP and in reality, I've never seen a play with such a name) and I thought I should run by the stage where it usually performs for a quick look. Quick look over, (I don't remember looking at all ahaha~) I was waiting to buy a ticket with Monica for the same play I already saw before, and everyone else was just around and in the distance. She paid the clerk (who was the guy I saw on the bus yesterday and I thought he was cool) with a twenty-dollar bill while the tickets were only a dollar. The man said that since tickets were only a dollar for as many plays as you'd like to see, people usually only paid in change, particularly in quarters, so he would have to give her back $19 in quarters. She accepted it, (ahahahaa), and I found out I only had 75 cents on me, so Monica lent me one of her now many quarters. The man continued to say how Orphisto was in actuality, a weakhearted man, and wouldn't really be able to kill anyone despite what is portrayed on stage compared to Hamlet who had a history of being fickle and impulsive (Yup, Hamlet's here, too), (At this point, I remember feeling surprised for some reason), and if we were sure we wanted to see something like this. The two of us affirmed it and I turned around while Monica counted her quarters and I saw the character Orphisto, who was already halfway down the stairs run back up. (He was "painted" a dark blue.) I don't know if anyone else was with me, but I watched the show for Hamlet and I really liked it, (Go figure) the character of Hamlet was genuinely scary in a really happy-psychotic sort of manner since he always had this strange, arrogant smile on. (He was "painted" black, of course.) In general, I don't remember the play at all, but afterwards, I slid under the curtains of one of Orphisto play, I guess since it wasn't opened / ready to start yet the curtains were still down. There were a couple of steps that led up to the platform and as I went up them (I don't even know what I was doing), I turned and looked and realized that the Orphisto character (now a cyan, or aqua-y shade of blue occasionally switching back to navy) heard what the man in the front said about him not being able to kill anyone and he apparently had been really offended and murdered his whole cast. He was kneeling on the floor over one of his guardsmen from his play (now dead) and I'm just seeing this through all the wires and levers that belongs behind the scenes while still on the steps. He's just raging (kind of like, crying rage) to himself about how he's proving them wrong about being weakhearted through more vicious acts of violence upon already dead corpses when Hamlet appears from under the curtain (he's already on the stage, I guess he just didn't bother with using the steps and just jumped on) and he has two of his own play's guardsmen with him. I don't remember exactly what they were saying to each other, but I recall the Orphisto man being scared of Hamlet, while Hamlet has these black swirly things around him while messing around with Orphisto saying how he shouldn't have done that and by doing so, it didn't make him a better character, or killer than he was - since no one else in the play house was comparable to him.
