THE ROMEO + JULIET MEME

THE ROMEO + JULIET MEME
"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume"

It's fair Verona where we set our scene. Or fair fairy tale land. Or fair Tokyo, Japan, or even fair gas station down the road. Whatever the case may be, you know the drill. Two warring families/factions/species/football teams/social classes or whatever else you crazy kids do these days are causing a fuss. Basically, it's hell on the streets. But from this turmoil springs two starcross'd lovers who just met (and they called each other, maybe) have decided that their sides be damned, they're going to work this out and have a love to end all love. Of course, everyone else has their own ideas, and things get a little mixed up in the way.

Hey, cheer up though, kids! It's not like you'll both end up dead or anything!

PROMPTS

The Lovers
  1. Rosaline: The person you adore doesn't even look your way! Oh, no! How can you live? Well, since you're being such a mope, your friends have dragged you out to a party, hoping you'll meet someone new. But what do they know?
  2. First Meeting: It's just a chance encounter, but it's changed your life. This person is the most beautiful, most perfect being on the planet, and just looking at them hurts. You have to be with them always.
  3. My Only Love, Sprung from My Only Hate: That person you just met and instantly fell in love with? Yeeeeeah, they're supposed to be your mortal enemy. Oops.
  4. You Kiss By the Book: Who cares about the feud? You just want to taste those sweet lips.
  5. The Exchange of Thy Love's Faithful Love for Mine: One of you isn't so sure this is a good idea. The other is trying to convince them.
  6. THE BALCONY SCENE: I don't care how you do it, just do it. You know what I'm talking about. What light through yonder window breaks?
  7. Where We Can Be Free: You want your love to run away with you so you don't have to deal with the world's crap anymore.
  8. Eloping: Somehow, you've decided to get married. Who did you have to blackmail to do this for you?
  9. I Will Lie with Thee Tonight: Awww, making love...I hope you waited till the eloping part for this.
  10. I Am Fortune's Fool: Your lover has, because of the feud, committed an atrocity to someone on your side. Can you love them though it, or is your loyalty too strong in the other direction?
  11. Is It Yet Morning?: One of you is on the run, so you must be gone and live, or stay and die.
  12. Be Not So Long to Speak, I Long to Die: Being parted from your love has driven you to despair.
  13. Oh, Happy Dagger: All this has gotten to be too much. You want to stay together, and you can only think of one way.
The Others
  1. In the Way: You don't approve of this young couple, and you're trying to talk one side out of it by any means necessary - even if this means disowning!
  2. Helpers: You believe in peace and want these lovebirds to find happiness. You'll do all you can to see them through.
  3. The Third Wheel: You're in love with one of the people involved in the torrid affair, and it pains you to see them in love with someone else, especially someone who will only destroy them. Do you help or hinder?
  4. The Neutral: You just want all this fussing and fighting to end.
