ophelia steps from behind the curtain, swatting it out of her way.
Smoke billows from behind her as she approaches
the podium with the envelope in her hand. Tapping the mic, she begins to speak.
"Errmm....there seems
to be small fires in everyones dressing rooms. I'm not sure how they started" she said, blinking owlishly.
"At anyrate,
I am here to present the award for The Longest Goodbye" she paused for a moment, looking down at the card and snickering
to herself.
"The Longest Goodbye...we all know who they are. The ones that keep saying they are leaving, but for some
reason end up walking around in circles repeating themselves and never quite getting gone. Nothing short of an exorcism is
going to drive these vampires out..no matter what they say....over and over and over again. "
Flicking a curl out of
her eye, she read the list of nominees.
Es Beacy
Obsidian
WanderingFool
Capadocious
Tejas
"And our winner is...by one vote and beating out Capadocious...." she says.
"EsBeasy!!
Yes m'dear...just when we thought you were finally
gone..POOF...you're back."

*Es hears his name announced as winning an award for the longest
something or other and jumps to his feet, pumping
his arm in the air
3 times. Obsidian rises from hr chair and whispers longest
GOODBYE and Es's face drops, but
then the attractive and alluring
vampiress kisses him gently on the cheek and he beams once more, taking her in his arms
and kissing her tenderly as he holds her in
his arms.
Then Es begins walking towards the stage, formulating words of gratitude for it is better to be thought of in some way,
than not at all. Es Beacy skips up the steps to the stage and hugs Ophelia, and then accepts the award. He turns
and moves to the podium.*
Wow I have nothing prepared. Oh boy *laughs* shoot Im almost
speechless..hehe
NOT! Well, first I'd like to thank all the vampires
who got me really pissed off because with out your torment and
abuse, I wouldn't have wanted to leave the city in the first place and even though this award is meant to be less than flattering,
I accept it
graciously. I mean how many great people throughout history never
received an award?
Adam in the Garden of Eden who said I got more ribs; you got more Broads?..he never got an awardâ. King Henry
the Eighth, who said to his lawyer, Forget the alimony, I got a better idea, never got an award....King Solomon who said
to his 1000 wives, OK, who doesn't got a headache?...never got an award...Napoleon, who said to his troops, Trust me, Waterloo
is lovely this time of year...never got an award.
*looks at Jauk who is frantically slashing her hand across her throat*
Not now, baby, geez I may be companionless but I am with someone else tonight! *just then the band starts to play
Fangs for the Mammaries and Es gets a clue and departs, stage left. He hurries down the stairs and heads back towards
his table.*
