Shadows on the Wall: C-ko Under Authority
[Scene: A large airy room with a small fireplace and three large, diamond-paned leaded glass windows over an old-fashioned school radiator. Despite the room's lovely old detailing, the furnishings are modern and hideously, swedishly functional. There is a bunkbed, stage right, and a desk with a tiny hutch of a bookcase and a pair of half-open doors, stage left. The room appears to be empty except for a sad pile of Gir-bits on the lower bunk.]
[A-ko ENTERS, stage right, carrying a book under her arm. She is dressed in her usual Ohtori uniform. She sighs and goes to sit on the lower bunk, ducking her head so as not to bump it on the upper bunk.]
A-ko: Poor Gir. I hope this book tells me something useful about how to repair you. [She opens the book and starts to read. However, loud thumping noises ensue.]
A-ko: [Looking up] What is--
[With a loud crash, a pile of junk topples out of the half-open closet door, stage left. C-ko, also dressed in an Ohtori uniform but wearing a pair of little round glasses for some reason, is spread-eagled upon it.]
C-ko: Ooops!
A-ko: C-ko, what are you doing in my closet?!?! You're supposed to be rooming in Erdwim!
C-ko: There aren't any good materials over there. Also, my hallmates threw me out because of all the hammering. [Undaunted, she pushes the vaguely-round pile of junk to the middle of the floor and starts working on it there, pulling a seemingly endless bunch of wires out of the middle of it.]
A-ko: [In tones of horror] C-ko, what are you doing?!?!? You can't keep all that here!
C-ko: I'm building a UFO for Gir. Here's hand me that, will you? [She tosses a jar and an old-fashioned telephone aside and reaches for the desk lamp]
A-ko: [Snatches the desk lamp away] You can't have that! There isn't an overhead light in here! And you can't build a UFO in here, how will you get it out?!?
C-ko: Hmmmmmmm. If I connect this... [Sparks fly and fizzle]
A-ko: [Stamping out the little fires in the rug] C-ko, you DO know that this dorm is insulated with newspaper and old horsehair, don't you?!?!?!
C-ko: [Vaguely] Is it? Oh, just what I need for a lever! [Grabs Gir's arm]
A-ko: [Grabs it back] You can't USE that! It's part of Gir! What's the good of building him a UFO if you take him to pieces to do it?
C-ko: I still don't have the power cord long enough.
A-ko: Is this really constructive? [She's standing up now, looming menacingly over C-ko]
C-ko: Well, I'm constructing something.... Hmmm, [looking up at A-ko] better get some more materials. [She leaps up and zips off, stage right.]
A-ko: [Staring at the mess on the floor] How do we get into... [She moves to the window, looking out of it.] More to the point, how do we get out of it?
[Out the window, the towers of the College are framed against an orange-red sky. Cue Track 11: and a UFO, trailing smoke, swings through the sky to crash sideways into the clocktower at the center of campus.]
