Day 1: Card: The Fool. |
| Dramatis Personae: The I At the Center of the World The world greenly cups a comfortable life: a great, gay girth that gives him place and name and substance: Fatty. Her life is a dance through birchwood and breeze, stars swirling overhead, 'til one day, Dawnbreak strikes her still – Lúthien. Hardbottle is a hard land that sharpens tongues, puts stones in souls. Lobelia feels their sate-less shifting and envies... He rose resplendent, consubstantial Flame, bright with promise, blind with pride – thus into darkness fell this star, beloved of Ilúvatar. Earth, Air, Fire, Water – and Spirit their abiding fifth, for all who are play the fool: all believe they're righteous. |
Notes 1."Thus into darkness fell this star" - modified "The Fall of Gil-Galad." 2. "All who are play the fool: all believe they're righteous" - Joss Whedon attributes this to William Dafoe (well, slightly differently phrased) by way of explaining that every character believes he is the hero of the story. |
