  • Rah for the tie, although I know that he'll untie it again.
    We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

    • I'll pre-empt that with Rah.

      • Alas as much as I like to vote for another.
        There is only one vote that will keep me in the game.

        I have a bad felling about this.

                Well I hoped that it wouldn't come to this, but unfortunately James has the casting vote here.
                Still, he did vote for Spaced in the last round too, so you might have seen it coming, but he's also used up the last person on his vote list so we'll see what happens now....

                • Act III Scene ii

                  Enter KING RAH, the LORD CHAMBERLAIN and the CAPTAIN of the GUARD

                  rah: My loyal friends and subjects. We have been
                  resident at this court for many years,
                  and have been through much together. In these
                  dark days of covert murder then I have
                  need of my friends more than ever before!
                  Although I have ordered that each man is
                  free to cast his vote as he pleaseth, I
                  hope that I can rely on my trusted
                  friends to support me when the strangers to
                  my court turn their eyes toward my throne and
                  the power it embodieth. My old friends,
                  can I count on thy votes?

                  Rubychaser: Of course, my lord!
                  Thou knowest that I have been stalwart at thy
                  side all these years of service and my vote
                  shall be as true in thy service as my
                  swordarm once was.

                  rah: True, my noble Captain,
                  thou hath been one of the foremost pillars
                  of English strength these years gone, and today
                  I value thy counsel in affairs of
                  state equally as in the strategic
                  realm, and it heartens me to learn that I
                  can also count on thy vote in council.

                  Rubychaser: Aye, my lord.

                  rah: And thou, Lord Chamberlain? Will
                  thou stand by thy master who hath o’erseen
                  thy political career, or wouldst thou
                  rather join the party of those who would
                  see this monarchy brought to its knees, and
                  replaced by some pell-mell muddle of
                  procrastinators and mad idealists
                  with no idea how to achieve the ideal?

                  Spike: My liege, I have no desire whatsoever
                  to make my stand with those whose hands are red,
                  but I have yet to reach a decision
                  on the matter, or to be satisfied
                  of anyone’s guilt. By your leave, my
                  lord, I will reserve my counsel until
                  I have had the chance to hear the cases
                  put forward by the accusers today,
                  and shall make my decision thereupon.

                  rah: Those might well be wise words in different
                  company from thy present my lord. I
                  know thee of old, and thou art glad to give
                  small and frequent comment, yet will refrain
                  from taking a decision while there is
                  yet time and opportunity to make
                  more comments in thy terse style.

                  Spike: I remind
                  my lord that he hath given his solemn
                  word not to interfere in the choices
                  made by the members of his court, and to
                  respect the decisions made by them in
                  good heart. I am no longer of such stout
                  stuff as to be able to murder those
                  at this court who have met their end by a
                  mighty mace, and I trust that mine own heart
                  proveth its innocence and that those called
                  to vote will recognise it! My Lord, the
                  council begins, and the courtiers do
                  arrive to present their cases for our
                  consideration. Let us hear their words.

                  Enter the rest of the court

                  James: King rah, I trust that this morning finds ye
                  in rude health, and ready to take up the
                  reins of power once more when there is peace in
                  yer palace again. Shall we ter voting
                  then, and try to remove the perfidious
                  influence on this court and this country?

                  Rubychaser: Well said my comrade in arms! I take the
                  floor to declare the Duke of Buckingham
                  the dread party behind these evils that
                  hath plagued our court! He has never been far
                  from mine suspicion, and can count himself
                  lucky to have escaped censure thus far,
                  for the Lord Chamberlain believes that these
                  murdered hath been attacked by a mace, and
                  the mace was not far from incorporation
                  in the crest of Buckinghamshire after
                  his mighty deeds in the wars with the men
                  of the Scottish burghs.

                  Paddy: What a pincer we caught those soft Southern
                  cissies in me lads! Aye, ‘twere a braw day,
                  and a better night, the better to toast
                  our mighty victory! Ha! I can well
                  picture the might of Buckingham as he
                  rode amid the throng, smashing skulls to left
                  and right, till there were naught remaining that
                  would have served fit for our Viking forebears
                  to toast their triumphs! His feats that day call
                  me too, to bear witness that he is the
                  killer in our court.

                  Skanky: Nay, good Scotsman, thou
                  hast the wrong man! The one man here who might
                  have us all destroyed at a word has made
                  a strange choice to tease us with our fates, and
                  to kill us off one by one.

                  Paddy: Rochester!
                  Have ye the brash impudence to accuse
                  yer king of these assassinations, and
                  with naught but flimsy suspicion to back
                  yer ignoble words?

                  Skanky: I do, O Thane, yet
                  these suspicions are not unfounded. I
                  believe that he has tired of our counsel,
                  and would seek to replace us in the most
                  foul manner possible!

                  Spaced: Circumstances,
                  my dear king, hath forcèd me to cast my
                  vote for thee, if for naught else but to save
                  mine own skin!

                  rah: Alas, my good Duke, but I
                  must now cause thee to regret thy choice, as
                  I find thee the most likely candidate
                  for the murderer of my courtiers, my
                  friends, and my sons!

                  Spike: I hath earlier said
                  that I would allow my judgement, and not
                  my loyalties to decide this case, as
                  I refused to be bullied by the king.

                  rah: Bullying, tush! I asked thee to think on
                  all that thou hast achieved under my
                  aegis, and to allow this to guide thy
                  thoughts when making thy decision today.
                  Pray tell, then, Lord Chamberlain. To whom wilt
                  thy vote be cast?

                  Spike: For thee o king. Well I
                  know that I owe my career to thee, but
                  I am also well aware of thy nature
                  most capricious, and that thy vote may well
                  next fall upon me for the time when I
                  might enjoy thy favouritism is now
                  at an end, and so I must preserve my-
                  self before all loyalties hitherto
                  held.

                  rah: Thou treacherous wretch! I now regret
                  again the rashness that led me to give
                  a free vote to you all, and encourage
                  the guards to leave the castle!

                  James: King rah, it
                  is too early for regret while I still
                  hold the deciding vote in this process,
                  and do choose to consign my avowèd
                  foe the Duke of Buckingham to the block
                  of the capable executioner,
                  thy Captain of the Guard!

                  rah: Well chosen, my
                  trusty ally! If we should survive this
                  uncertain time, then I shall see thee most
                  richly rewarded for thy allegiance!
                  Captain, wouldst thou take the wretch Buckingham
                  from our sight, and see that he hath an end
                  befitting these bloody final days of
                  his life?

                  Rubychaser: Aye, my lord, posthaste.

                  Exit the CAPTAIN of the GUARD and the DUKE of BUCKINGHAM

                  rah: A happy day
                  for your king, gentlemen. Pray thee, go and
                  enjoy the varied hospitalities
                  of my court in the hope that we can soon
                  prepare ourselves to discuss the weighty
                  matter of Welsh rebellion now that
                  the murderer Buckingham hath passed
                  before our court here.

                  Paddy: Aye king, certainly!

                  Exit all but KING RAH

                  rah: While alone, I must confess that I now
                  lack the certainty I held but a few
                  moments ago, for while the death of the
                  noble Buckingham hath preserved mine
                  own existence, then I do not feel he
                  was responsible for these deaths of late,
                  and that my good Captain will shortly return
                  with more ill tidings for me, and for my
                  supporters at this court, few though they now
                  number. For now, however, I must take
                  account of mine own situation, ill
                  thou it seemeth still.

                  Enter the CAPTAIN of the GUARD

                  Rubychaser: My lord, I have…

                  rah: I
                  know, bad news again. But who hath fallen
                  to the deadly blade of the assassin
                  this fateful day?

                  Rubychaser: ‘Twere the unfortunate
                  Earl of Rochester my lord, and he too
                  hath received sev’ral blows to the skull, too
                  many for even one of a constitution
                  such as his to survive.

                  rah: Aught else?

                  Rubychaser: My lord,
                  again I hath heard the mysterious
                  horseman without, yet I know not why he
                  might await my arrival, or even have
                  knowledge thereof, outside the castle walls.

                  rah: Alas poor Rochester, until this day
                  he hath been at my side many a time,
                  but we must now look forward to the day
                  upon which the fallen at this court can
                  be remembered with due ceremony.
                  Inform those living yet of what hath tane
                  place here today, and prepare them for the
                  council of tomorrow.

                  Rubychaser: Yes my lord.

                  Exeunt
