Goldeneyes: "Oh, Quicksilver!"

%ACT% Goldeneyes (while talking) produces a candle, walks up to one of the torches, and lights the candle

Goldeneyes: "This city is going to the dogs, and no matter what I try, it just keeps getting worse! You wouldn't believe how much things have gone downhill since you left."

%ACT% Goldeneyes (while talking) walks back to the tombstone, and puts down the candle in front of it

Goldeneyes: "Tomorrow is the big wedding. I've been told it's the right thing to do. The right thing for Ironforge. And yet it feels so wrong."

%ACT% Goldeneyes begins to tear up and sob

Goldeneyes "I know you believed in the rebellion, and that's why you had to join them. But now that you're dead, I don't know what's right or wrong anymore! I miss you so much right now!"

%ACT% Goldeneyes cries, and hugs the tombstone

Drunkard2: "Where?"

Drunkard1: "Over there! Isn't that the good Lady Goldeneyes!"

Drunkard2: "Holy shit, she's hot!"

Drunkard1: "Hey, what's a pretty kitty like you doing here all alone?"

Goldeneyes (hisses): "That's none of your business!"

Drunkard2: "Oh, if that isn't the grave of Lord Quicksilver, the old coward!"

Goldeneyes (hisses): "He - was - not - a - coward. Now get lost!"

Drunkard1: "Not a coward, my ass! He fucking ran away!"

Drunkard2: "For the bloody rebellion!"

Drunkard1: "For a rebellion that did NOTHING!"

Goldeneyes (hisses): "You'd better watch your mouth! I am the Princess of Ironforge!"

Drunkard2: "*snort* Princess of Ironforge? You're not a princess! You're a PUSSY!"

Drunlard1: "Whatcha gonna do? Scratch us with your pretty claws? Kill us with your magic stick? We ain't got nothing to lose!"

Drunkard2: "Nothing's worse than living in this shithole! We should have renamed it 'Iron-forgery'."

Drunkard2: "Look, the pussy wants to play! I can see it in her eyes!"

Drunkard1: "I think she loves you!"

Drunkard2: "I think so, too! Come here, little pussy, just one kiss for your lover!"

%ACT% Drunkard2 grabs Goldeneyes, trying to rip off her clothes

%ACT% Drunkard1 laughs out loud!

%ACT% Goldeneyes struggles with Drunkard2

Goldeneyes: "Keep your filthy paws off me! No! NO! Help! Heeeelp!"

%ACT% Whisperwind enters from [1] carrying a crossbow, followed by Greenfield and two guards in full armor.

%ACT% Drunkard1 and Drunkard2 die for a bit until they are dead, falling over. They disappear from view.

%ACT% Goldeneyes cowers and cries

%ACT% Whisperwind rushes up to Goldeneyes, and embraces her

Whisperwind: "By the Gods, are you okay?"

Goldeneyes (sobbing): "Yes, I'm fine."

Whisperwind (comforting her): "Shhhh, it's okay. You're safe now. Those two aren't going to bother you ever again."

Goldeneyes (sobbing): "Thanks!"

Whisperwind: "You're lucky that Greenfield saw you sneaking out, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to find you!"

Goldeneyes (sobbing): "I'm sorry."

Whisperwind: "Oh, my little kitty, when are you going to learn? Being a princess means a lot of responsibility. I'm sorry too that Quicksilver is gone. But now it's up to you to rule this city."

%MUS% MUS-2105 I just can't do it
%MUS% MUS-2104 STOP

Goldeneyes (sobbing): "I can't do it, Whisper. I just can't do it."

Whisperwind: "If you manage to survive just one more night, you won't have to carry this burden alone any more. I promise I will be there for you, until death do us part."

Greenfield: "My lady? I'm neither a soldier, nor a wizard. To ensure your personal safety, I would kindly request that you coordinate any nightly excursions with me first."

Goldeneyes: "Are you putting me under arrest?"

Greenfield: "Of course not!"

Goldeneyes: "How am I supposed to take care of my city when I'm locked up at the palace like a sculpture in a museum! I need to be out here, with the people, in the city I grew up in!"

%MUS% MUS-2106 I can't believe
%MUS% MUS-2105 STOP

Whisperwind: "I can't believe this is coming from the same woman who nearly got raped five minutes ago. Would you have preferred we hadn't come for you?"

Goldeneyes: "I know I made a mistake, and of course I'm glad you came. Next time I'll be more careful."

Whisperwind: "That won't be enough. Ironforge has changed. A lot of people want your throne. It might change when we can finally build our own firearms but until then, it's not safe out here."

Goldeneyes: "Weapons, weapons, weapons. For you it is all about weapons."

Whisperwind: "Everyone's going at each others' throats. Chaos. Anarchy. Building our own firearms will be the only way to ensure our freedom! But instead of giving us the blueprints we need, the Institute keeps them locked up in their ivory tower, just like the Keepers did!"

Goldeneyes: "I know, I know."

Whisperwind: "Then please tell me why I just had to save the woman who owns the most powerful killing device on this side of the Serpent River?"

Goldeneyes: "Because this place is a sanctuary. I came here to grieve, not to kill."

%ACT% Whisperwind realizes this is not going anywhere.

%MUS% MUS-2107 I'm sorry
%MUS% MUS-2106 STOP

Whisperwind: "*SIGH* I'm sorry. You could have died tonight. I was worried!"

Goldeneyes: "You're right. I should have been more careful."

Whisperwind: "Do you still love me?"

Goldeneyes: "Of course I do."

%ACT% Goldeneyes hugs Whisperwind

Whisperwind: "And I love you, too. Now you go home with the guards, and I'll stay here with Greenfield and clean up this mess, alright? The last thing we want is a public outrage."

Goldeneyes: "Alright."

Whisperwind: "Good night my love."

%ACT% Whisperwind kisses her on the cheek.

Goldeneyes: "Good night!"

%ACT% The guards walk off with Goldeneyes towards [1]

%MUS% MUS-2108 Whisperwinds Philosophy
%MUS% MUS-2107 STOP

Whisperwind (to Greenfield): "Let's get these bodies out of sight. We'll drop them by the mortuary so the undertaker can take care of them tomorrow morning. You take the arms, I take the legs."

Greenfield: "How ironic. Shot in a cemetery."

%ACT% They carry the bodies to the side of the stage. (It's enough if they pretend to carry them.) They grunt and groan because the drunkards are fat bastards! Dialogue continues asynchronously.

Whisperwind: "I hate killing people in public places."

Greenfield: "So many precious lives lost every day, it's a tragedy."

Whisperwind: "The worst thing is the paperwork … They want to know everything! Why, how, when, where … Once I am Lord of Ironforge, this will get so much simpler …"

Greenfield: "I beg your pardon, Sir?"

Whisperwind: "This city needs a proper Lord again. Goldeneyes is just too sensitive. Too soft. You know what I mean?"

Greenfield: "I'm not entirely sure I do, Sir."

Whisperwind: "And I still don't get why she didn't bring her gun. I mean, I know the whole killing business is not her thing, but she knows how dangerous it is out here at night."

Greenfield: "Yes, Sir, very peculiar, Sir."

%MUS% MUS-2109 Greenfield
%MUS% MUS-2108 STOP

Whisperwind: "Stop playing dumb, Greenfield. She doesn't have it any more, am I right?"

%ACT% Greenfield drops the body, and turns to leave

%HND% Body drops out of view.

Greenfield: "I am not allowed to talk about it! Oh, look at how late it is, I have to be right back at the … *raaargh*"

%ACT% Whisperwind catches him by his collar

Whisperwind: "Greenfield!"

Greenfield (scared): "Please Sir, if I tell you this, she is going to shoot me!"

Whisperwind: "Greenfield. First of all, you just gave it away. Secondly … how?"

Greenfield (nervous): "I'm sorry, Sir, I'm not very good at politics."

Whisperwind: "That's fine, Greenfield. Just tell me what you know. Where is the gun?"

Greenfield: "It … it was stolen."

Whisperwind: "What? How the hell did that happen?"

Greenfield: "Someone took it from her study, and left without a trace. And even stranger, the bullets are all still there."

Whisperwind: "And when was that?"

Greenfield: "The day after the execution."

Whisperwind: "The spy?"

Greenfield: "Yes, the pig, Sir."

Whisperwind: "Anyways. Bullets or no bullets, we need to get that gun back. Greenfield, go and see after her … I'll be with you in a moment."

Greenfield: "Yes, Sir."

%ACT% Greenfield turns around and leaves.

%MIX% Jyanon: OFF

%MUS% MUS-2110 Epiphany
%MUS% MUS-2109 STOP

%ACT% Whisperwind walks up to Quicksilver's Grave

Whisperwind (sarcastic): "Oh, Quicksilver, my old friend. You were always so idealistic. So courageous. And so WRONG. Ironforge could be the capital of the world. But you never realized that. But what am I supposed to do with your Lady? She's becoming a serious threat to my plans. Any ideas? No? Thought so. Sorry for invading your family like that, old chap, but if that's what it takes to make Ironforge great again … it has to be done."

%ACT% Whisperwind hesitates

Whisperwind: "Oh! FAMILY. That's how it all makes sense! Quicksilver, as much as I enjoyed this conversation, I have to take my leave!"

%MUS% MUS-2111 End
