Tsuge the Hopeless

[Tsuge]

Tsuge was in the back corner of the library, reciting from Shakespeare poetry which he had come to like a lot.
He would plan on reciting it to some ladies.

"Shall I compare these to a summer's day?
Thou art far more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor-"

He was interrupted by the librarian, "Please students! When listening to poetry tapes or cds wear headphones!"

Tsuge, now ticked from being interrupted, fumed in the back and started to walk back out into the busier part of the library when he turned the corner and walked UNDER A LADDER.

He paused as soon as he realized it, knowing that was bad luck, especially for an actor such as he!

Tsuge stood there, frozen, "Uh oh..."

He hoped someone would come by soon...Or better yet, they shouldn't with his "bad luck".

[Venus]

"You okay?" Venus said to the brunette boy who looked a little frightened after walking under a ladder. "Too superstitious?"

[Tsuge]

He looked over to see a "beautiful young flower" as he would put it, not moving one bit, "Oh, beautious one! Please! I have just walked under a ladder, one of the worst ways of obtaining bad luck for an actor! Please oh please my sweet pastry! Find a way to undo such a tragic spell!"

[Venus]

"Ehhhh??" Venus raised an eyebrow at the boys response and wondered what he was getting at with the "beautious one, sweet pastry" remarks. "Did you just call me a pastry? Eh never mind that. It's just a ladder." She said and walked under it and next to this guy. "So I'm Venus. I guess I'll be your good luck today. Who're you?"
