Playerhi

HerbertAt last! The audience arrives!

Playeraudience / job

HerbertIn these dark days of misery I must waste my talent by working as a humble postman. And yet, how lucky am I whose blessing by the muse has proved so rich and so profuse! ...

HerbertFor you should know, my friend, that I am poet at heart and that acting is my art. As true as day follows night I will rise into the light of fame and glory.

Playercult

HerbertA cult? Oh dear. You would not think to which extremes my admirers would go in their worship.

Playervoodoo

HerbertWicked, wicked witchery! The very mention of this evil art strikes terror into those who are faint of heart.

Playerking

HerbertIf only his majesty's eyes would rest me on the stage, if only he saw me once! How could he not see the greatness of my art if he saw me act my part?

Playergovernor

HerbertIf ignorance were a virtue he'd deserve his station in life, for he is a dimwit and so is his wife.

Playersugar

HerbertDelicious morsel, so sweet and so tempting to the tongue! So sweet is your taste, and yet so bitter the lot of those who toil on the plantations.

Playerplantations

HerbertOh, the plantations, where so few earn so much and so many so little! Are they not a fitting mirror of this cruel world.

Playerrum

HerbertCurious is this liquor, whom many have called divine, for it turns some into angels and others into swine.

Playerpirates

HerbertHar, Har! Shiver me timbers, ya filthy landlubberrr! Weigh anchorrr! Man the cannons! Err ... I'm still working on that part, you know.

Playerquaras

HerbertAh, the scourge of the Southern Seas! Surely these accursed creatures have been created by a vengeful god who looked with hate and envy on our noble race!

PlayerExcalibug

HerbertWhy should you seek mere metal when the pen is mightier than the blade, and so is love? Fool! Be a lover, be a poet if you must, but never raise a blade unless your cause is just.

PlayerCarlin

HerbertCarlin! Oh Carlin, my love! Noble jewel of the north, it is you that I crave, for only among your people can I stop being a slave! ...

HerbertOne day I will come to you, fair Carlin. Bid this humble traveller welcome, lift this humble star into the sky of greatness!

PlayerVenore

HerbertHow could I hate you, Venore, the place where I grew up and so did my father before. But I shall ne'er go back to you, for your people are smug and their minds are small. ...

HerbertOne day they will weep for their prodigal son, but then I won't mind for I will be gone.

PlayerThais

HerbertI mourn you, Thais, for you are no longer the shiny diamond that inspired a sense of purpose and pride in us all. ...

HerbertRather than building a temple for the muses your people chose to build an arena, where blood is shed and animals are slaughtered for sport. Oh Thais, how deep have you fallen!

PlayerFerumbras

HerbertIs he real? Or is he a mere story, a tale told by weary parents by the fireside to put fear into their unruly children's hearts? ...

HerbertBut no! No! He is real, I tell you, he is real, for I can feel the icy clasp of his will of steel even while I am standing here. Who will be there to stop him if he stirs again, I ask of you?

PlayerLiberty Bay

HerbertThis dreary place, though paradise to some, is hell and exile to me! My talent is shipwrecked on these sunny shores, my art a prisoner of the oafish horde. ...

HerbertOh Carlin! Carlin! Queen of the arts and sister of the muse! Only in your kind bosom would I be safe from ignorance and from abuse!

PlayerEleonore

HerbertEleonore, sweet Eleonore, how your heart races when we're close. I pity you for your futile struggle with your passion, for who could hope to win a war like this? And yet, dear Eleonore, your fight is futile, for my heart is betrothed forever to my art.

PlayerCharlotta

HerbertFie, that scary hag! She has been living in the shantytown forever like some tenacious weed.

PlayerExplorer Society

HerbertI suppose there are those who like to spend their time digging through dirt and through lime. Boring stuff, if you want my opinion.

PlayerChondur

HerbertOf this name there is none in my book. If you don't believe me take a look!

PlayerWyrmslicer

HerbertAh! The brave admiral has the makings of a true hero! I am planning on making him the hero of a history play, you know? Oh, he has to die first, of course.

PlayerBertram

HerbertOh for a guy he's overly romantic. He has a crush on women in uniforms.

PlayerChantalle

HerbertAh, she is overly romantic. She does love guys in uniforms, but I'm not important enough for her, hmpf ...

HerbertAlso, she's quite busy and doesn't show up here very often. I still have a letter here for her that she never picked up.

PlayerTheodore Loveless

HerbertOh the miser! Loveless is he called, and has there ever been a name more fitting to a mortal man? For he loves his money and else he loves none, and he himself is hated by everyone.

PlayerIsolde

HerbertFair like a sunrise in spring she is, yet graceful like a piece of dust floating in silky moonlight. And yet, poor Tristan, who knows? Thorns of poison may grow on this rose.

PlayerTristan

HerbertTristan, oh Tristan, you are lost! Fair Isolde took your heart, but did she give you hers? Ah, what cruel arithmetics is love unfulfilled, when it leaves some with all and others with nothing!

PlayerRaymond Striker

HerbertI must admit he is something of a character, but his pirate impression lacks style.

Playerbye

HerbertThank you! Thank you! Sorry, no autographs today!
