What stern ungentle hands
Have lopp'd and hew'd
And made thy body bare
Of her two branches?

Why dost not speak to me?
Alas, a crimson river of warm blood,
Like to a bubbling fountain stirr'd with wind,
Doth rise and fall between thy rosed lips,
Coming and going with thy honey breath.
But, sure, some Tereus hath deflowered thee,
And, lest thou shouldst detect him,
Cut thy tongue and pretty fingers off.

Do not draw back, for we will mourn with thee
O, could our mourning ease thy misery!

M.O.C.

[ooc: And this kicks off the end of the plot! Thank you for everyone who has been a part of it. Body post as well as a post from Sam to come later!

Such poetry, truly. It's a pity you haven't told us what 'M.O.C.' stands for, though.

[allinhishands]

What have you decided that it can stand for?

[misterblackbird]

I'm not entirely certain yet. Care to give a hint?

[allinhishands]

I do care.

[misterblackbird]

And would you go so far as to tell us this hint?

[allinhishands]

If you cannot figure it out without a hint then it would be pointless.

[misterblackbird]

How unhelpful.

[allinhishands]

My humblest apologies.

[misterblackbird]

You've more people to apologise to than just to me, you know.

Huh. This again. [Huey was right and Charlie's praying it isn't someone she knows, even if she'll be horrified regardless of who it was. She's just fighting to keep her emotions in check.]

[allinhishands]

Indeed.

Hey, you. Hiding your identity behind a wall of text isn't very honorable.

Why don't you show your face? （　´∀｀）

[allinhishands]

I will have to decline.

[sixwinged]

How weak.

[allinhishands]

I can live with that.

Do we get a prize if we find the missing pieces?

text; filtered

[allinhishands]

You do. I see no reason for you not to get a prize.

[dignity_misery]

I'm excited, then.

More delightful poetry. The unfortunate Lavinia, representing the imminent downfall of Rome, a city about to be ravaged by monsters.

I'm not certain all in the City shall 'mourn' this fate.

[Not him, certainly.]

[allinhishands]

We shall see.
