I KNOW HOW TO BRING THEM TOGETHER!

PROM NIGHT!

It'll be a disaster. How do we make sure it happens?

Well... we can make sure that they get voted Prom King and Queen by flooding the polls! Then they will meet again and fall in love, just like in the play.

PROM NIGHT!

From what I've learned about the prom night a minute ago, it should have some specific date. Right? I don't think this can wait.

Um...Prom? There might be several problems for that, if I'm not mistaken.

1) If we're assuming they ended up in a university, which I am, then they're probably isn't going to be a prom. My university never had a prom. It's typically a high school thing.
2) Prom are usually an end of the school year event, meaning we'd have to wait for the spring. Are we really preparing for the game to last that long? Maybe a homecoming dance. That's more of a fall thing, but we may have already missed it. But again, that's typically a high school thing.

Wait a minute...

Homecoming! We have to make them get a homecoming dance!

Here is the problem with that:

I don't care if fictional plot points are really coming through or not, I REFUSE to use possibly the lamest fanfic plot ever after HIGH SCHOOL AU.

Seriously, people who are writing need to show some creativity after the idea has been used five million times...

So far Juliet's only mentioned Romeo seems to be moving away fron her, nothing concrete. Shouldn't we wait until there's actually a problem before we try to fix things?

Yeah that sounds like a good idea and we should be prepared and ready, cause... well we should.

(Note: A special but hidden part of me really wants to show R&J, the Baz Luhrmann film of them. just to see their reaction.)

Probably immense confusion at what the hell they just saw.

Part of me honestly expects them to just drift away from each other naturally, and maybe we SHOULDN'T be trying to stop that. I mean really, in reality, what kind of basis is 'our eyes met across a crowded room' for a relationship? Maybe it works out for some people, but I can't think of anybody I know who spent the rest of their life with somebody they instantly fell in love with.

It doesn't matter if it's realistic or not. We need to keep them together. We need to return them both back into their stories, and if Romeo ends up falling in love with somebody from this world, it may become difficult to convince him to return.

As idealized and over-the-top as that is, you need to remember that fictional PLOTS are coming through as well, as shown by the detectives' shenanigans.

Good point, but then was Shakespeare REALLY trying to write a romance in the first place? It always felt slightly... wrong to me as a love story. Like it was meant to be more of a warning against not what happens to your family if your force your petty squavbbleson them.

But I dunno, I wouldn't say I can get into the mind of one of the world's mroe famous literary creators...

Romeo and Juliet is NOT a love story. It's a tragedy.

NeverSlender wrote:Romeo and Juliet is NOT a love story. It's a tragedy.

Right, sorry bad gramamr on my part, I'm aware it's a tragedy. But in modern day it's often misconstrued as a love story, mostly by the folks who haven't actually read it. Maybe they were never MEANT to be together.

Although yes, Romeo falling in love with someone else (or Juliet for that matter) could make things... problematic.

To be fair, during the whole story, the relationship between R&J is portrayed as extremely superficial. If Romeo had seen someone he though was more attractive before the end, he'd probably have moved on.

New blog post by Juliet: http://juliet.ezblog.twwf.info/?p=24

Seems like things have got a lot worse as Romeo has blocked her from viewing his blog and that she believes that Romeo is not acting like he normally does, acting even more uninterested in her than before.

Well, it would seem as though their relationship is derailing faster than a train without wheels. But then, that's not very surprising.

Faster than our threads here if I may say it...
But, what should we do? Reassure Julliet and try to weld them together or perhaps direct her into acting a bit more independently?

He realises we're in contact with both of them, doens't he? What does he think hiding his blog from her is going to accomplish if WE can all still see it? (Unless you can just block from a certain entry onwards in which case, maybe we're ALL blocked...)

Really good question, personally I have no idea. Do we try to play matchmaker and reconscile them, or what?

Maybe we should concentrate our efforts on making sure they're both okay and coping rather than trying to make their relationship continue. We knew this world would change them, it's slowly but surely changing ALL the fictionals. It's a regular deconstruction in play...

I suspect Romeo may already have decided he doens't wish to return home to Verona.

I think we should focus more on Romeo, try to sort him out as he seems to be derailing the most.

I wonder what Mr. A will say when he finds out that Romeo wants to stay? Obviously nothing good.

I'm starting to think that we should not try to hold the two together... Actually... If we start acting aganist it, then the plot sets into motion, after all, they want each other because their families are aganist it. If we try to split them... Reverse Psychology of the worst class. But might be a way...

Scarab wrote:I suspect Romeo may already have decided he doens't wish to return home to Verona.

Yeah, he's taken to this world like a fish to water. I don't think he's even using Ye Olde English anymore. It'll just make it harder to send them back, especially if he's fallen out of love with Juliet.

...Well, bugger. That's really all I can think of to say right now.

We should probably try to talk to the guy.
