These characters are from a long running series of novels I’ve been writing for…five to six years now? It is where I take my internet username from, since Keladryie is my character in the novel. The following characters in this are from a novel called Nuikr, have been used in my NaNo in every year I’ve participated and have been involved in many other short stories and too-the-side novels I have started. So you probably won’t understand a thing, but that’s okay :D
What Could Life be Like?
“I just don’t understand why we had to stay here.”
“We’d be targets, just forget it Kel, relax. We don’t get to do that much anymore…”
“No Kad! I can’t! I’m just itching to get out there and get the job done right!... – Kad, let go of me…I’m not in the mood to sit down and-”
“And relax? You need to Kelly…there’s nothing else we can do. …Look, just leave them to do the job themselves. They’re mercenaries too, we all did the same exams, so they’ll handle it. Do you honestly think Dad would send them off to death? Do you think he’d waste everyone’s time by sending people who couldn’t handle it?”
“…No…of course not Kad…I respect your father, you know that…”
“Then act like it Kel…it’ll be fine. Just relax…and don’t laugh at me! Jellybeans are nice!”
“We’re trying to have a serious conversation and at the same time you’re trying to shove jellybeans into my mouth Kad…”
“Well you’re being so sour I thought I’d sweeten you up…OUCH! Hey!”
“Watch it Verona, don’t think you can get away with just anything just because…”
“Just because what?”
“…You know…don’t look at me like that!”
“Like what?”
“…All soppy like. It’s disgusting. We kill people Kaddar…we’re not supposed to be all…”
“Not supposed to live a normal life? Hell Keladryie, we’re getting married. I know you’re all irritable because we have to stay here in lockdown while others get to kill people and handle everything, but…you need to relax. You have to have a life out of work, you know…”
“I do. You’re my life out of work…”
“I don’t count, I’m by your side through work and out. Besides, I’m such a handful I’m just more work for you…”
“Mmm, that you are…”
“You love it though.”
…
“Haha! My brother kisses like a girl!!”
“Rei, get outta here!”
“Willard, get nicked.”
“Ooh, someone’s feisty today, ain’t she Rei?”
“She’d have to be, if she’s crazy enough to accept my dorky brother!”
“Perhaps, but at least he looks good. Looking a bit flabby there Will.”
“Rack off Kel, don’t you have to go shave something?”
“Just because I’m more man than you, don’t mean you have to get all grouchy and defensive, now does it?”
“Lucky catch there Kad. Now, if she’s more man than I am, does that make you gay?”
“You’d know all about being gay, now wouldn’t you Willard?”
“Jealous that Rei won’t marry you yet? Starting to doubt she ever will?”
“Kaddar!”
“Aha! Good on Kad!”
“Your stupid boyfriend asked for it…”
…
“That was a good one…thanks for getting rid of them.”
“I can tell you just wanna be left alone…”
“Mmmm…see…this is nice. My being left alone doesn’t even include you…it’s…just…nice. That…you know. We have each other. You stay around me even when I’m irritable and dangerous because…you don’t count as someone who I want to leave me alone for a while.”
“So, this is love? …Don’t falter Kel, I’m sorry…I know it’s hard for you to say…you know, this stuff…but…thankyou.”
“…How do you think they’re doing?”
“Who? Are you quite comfortable there by the way? My leg’ll go numb under you like that…so excuse me when I shove you off onto the ground. Ouch- Hey! You know I won’t really…who do you mean? The Elitists or Rei and Willard?”
“Why the heck would I wonder about Rei and Willard? No doubt they’re having sex in a closet or somethin-”
“Kel…don’t speak of my sister like that…makes me ill to think of it.”
“Nasty visuals? Sorry, I mean the Elitists of course…”
“I think they’ll be doing fine…don’t roll your eyes at me missy, and don’t hit me either. Look, when was the last time you had a sleep?”
“Probably two nights ago or something, why?”
“How long did you get?”
“Same as you, probably…four hours?”
“C’mere then…we’re going to get some sleep…”
“…You mean while the mercenaries in our division, besides us four, go on probably the biggest mission of their lives, you want to curl up here on the sofa and sleep?”
“You need more sleep Kelly…and…they’ll be fine, I’m sure. We move out tomorrow night at the latest, who knows when we’ll be able to sleep next after that? …C’mere…”
“Kaddar…I don’t wanna sleep…”
“Well I am. Go kill Willard if you feel the itch, but don’t wake me up with his girlish screams.”
“Hmm, I would, but I can’t marry into your family after killing your sisters boyfriend…”
“Sure you can! Would probably get rid of her in the same foul swoop!”
“WE CAN HEAR YOU BOTH BY THE WAY.”
“Aww shit, I think they’re onto us…”
“We’ll either have to take them out so no one ever finds out about our plan, jump out the window, or sleep.”
“You know, maybe sleeping isn’t such a bad idea after all…”
…
“You know…this isn’t so bad…I can’t remember the last time we weren’t…preparing for something, you know? When was the last time we just got to relax?”
“Few months at least? Probably when we were back at my place before the last exams…”
“Can you even imagine living like this every day? Just…with only one worry? Just an office job, or something, or even still going to school. Like...we could all be in Uni still, like everyone else our age. Imagine if our biggest worry wasn’t killing all these evil doers who are threatening terrorism and whatever else, but it was just…assignments and what to wear to some drunken party next weekend…and we got to lie around like this all the time…”
“Go on dates like normal couples…have set lunch times in a cafeteria…have set home times as well. Only ten hours or so of homework a week…it would be so different.”
“No training. No early morning rises and the only over-nighters are when we couldn’t finish an assignment in time.”
“Mmm…would drive you crazy though.”
“It would be so boring!”
“And un-unique.”
“Hell yeah. Lets go get the others and see if they want to do some training downstairs.”
This is written for the challenge: Normal Challenge 08 - It's Good To Talk
Write a piece that consists solely of dialogue between two or more people. This means absolutely no descriptive text, not even a pause between sentences (unless you ask nicely.) It can be about whatever you want; this challenge will be judged on how well you use the speech to set the scene and character and plot, not on how exciting it is.
All entries must be longer than 500 words and a one-shot.
