More strange dreams...

I really did have very bizarre dreams last night--not at all in the same way as last time though. For one thing, they were in color and they didn't seem to have the actors from LTelV. It was still very creepy though, because it was as if I had tuned into Dantoniste World. Maxime and Éléonore were still there, as I've never had a dream about the Revolution without them, but the only other people in it were Dantonistes. And they were all doing very random things, like:

There was one part of it in which Desmoulins was doing a rather convincing rabbit imitation. (You know, the hopping and the nose twitching and all...) Presumably this was for the benefit of the several small children that had latched on to him (I'm assuming they were Horace and the probably Danton's kids, but you never know O.O).

There was another part where they were all outside on this big pavillion decked with tricolor ribbons and they were all taking turns dancing to this very lively fiddling. (As I remember, it was Danton and his wife--not sure which one--first, then the Desmoulins, then Maxime and Éléonore...) I'm not sure what they were all doing there together without the rest of the Montagne: it was very creepy. And then when Maxime and Éléonore were dancing, Fabre d'Églantine came and sat with the Desmoulins and started singing "Il pleut bergère," which didn't at all go with the music that was being played for the dancing. But they seemed *really* fascinated by his singing nonetheless--to the point that they were gaping at him in wonder. O.o;

And then there was another part that was much more cute, but didn't make any more sense. Maxime and Éléonore were riding somewhere in a coach (I really have no idea where or why) and they were obviously talking about something very important--I think it might have been something about the Dantonistes, in the time leading up to their arrest. But they weren't really taking it too seriously, oddly enough. What I imagine to be about every thirty seconds or so in dream time, they kept looking out the windows to see if anyone was watching them, and then kissing if they decided that no one was. It was also strange and random, just because I had no idea where they were going or what they were so happy about. >__>

There was a lot more to the dream, but I can't really remember it--just that it was all very strange and Maxime and Éléonore were the only Robespierristes in it. I must say I found it particularly odd that Le Bas wasn't in it, considering I just translated a lot of his correspondance last night. O.o; Not to mention the fact that, it would take crack to make a dream as random and weird as that and Le Bas is, as far as I know the only Revolutionary crack dealer.

...

And then today they've put the scaffold up at my school, which means they're running that horrible, ghastly reenactment again. If I believed that dreams could be omens I might wonder why on earth everyone was so happy in the dream I've just described. Perhaps I've just finally cracked. -__-;

....Anyway, does anyone have any ideas of what I might do to sabotage the reenactment, or at least it's message? Pamphlets, maybe?

Um. Lots of crack yes. Was Danton also doing the bunny and hopping? Because that'd be... um... loud?

Also, it's very creepy to read the sentence "today they've put the scaffold up at my school". Really. I insist. If I were at your school seeing that, I'd probably start rubbing the back of my neck because I'm hypocondriac and nevrotic like that.

Maybe it's just the omen that the guy who's in charge of the reenactment and didn't consider your script is going to be hit by the fake!blade of the fake!guillotine?... I suppose that'd bad to wish for that. But anyway.

Yes, crack is the word. My subconscious is twisted, clearly. D: But no, Danton wasn't in that part of the dream, strangely enough. It was just the Desmoulins. Maybe they were babysitting... Danton, after all, would be the only one stupid enough to trust them with his children. >__>

It is creepy, I admit, but there's not much I can do about that since it also happens to be true. They haven't set up the guillotine itself yet though, so it could be worse...

It wouldn't matter anyway. The guillotine blade is made of rubber or something similar, so it's entirely harmless. Unlike the reenactment itself. *sighs*

Awwwwww. &hearts That's adorable. Even more than Camille and his rabbit impersonation.

Oh, and speaking of reenactments, what do they do exactly? I can't remember. ^^; If there are special effects like lighting and music, you could sabotage those and never have it associated with you, if you're careful. Or you could break the scaffold somehow. I imagine that's pretty expensive, and they might not be able to get a replacement on time. Um, if you want to do something that doesn't involve vandalism, you could do posters, listing the inaccuracies, and give out pamphlets. (I wouldn't recommend doing both at once, since that makes things pretty obvious.)

It was pretty adorable, admittedly. ^__^ But it was also very cracky. Much like Camille's rabbit impersonation, actually.

Sadly, nothing so high-tech. And the only way they wouldn't catch me breaking the scaffold would be if I were to do so at two in the morning... and that's a bit creepy even for me. D: Of course, leaving pamphlets all around at 2 am might not be such a bad idea...

[identity profile] josiana.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Aww. ^__^ I'm sure Camille impersonated rabbits all the time, really.

Alas. D: Well, I hope the pamphlets work.

However the adorable was slightly... out of context, unfortunately. I wouldn't put it past him.

D: So do I.

I don't know what else to do. ;__;

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well it was a dream, after all.

Neither do I. D:

[identity profile] josiana.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. That justifies everything.

Um. ;__; You could always hire people to do an independent production.

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't it though?

With my copious amounts of money and organization skills, of course. >__>

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, one must take these things into account. *sighs*

[identity profile] josiana.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
D: Sorry. You could protest a lot.

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
...My little protest of one. ;-;

[identity profile] josiana.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'd go and protest with you. ;___; I don't think I could get there easily, though.

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
You're right, sadly. Though it's very kind of you to offer in any case. ;-;

[identity profile] estellacat.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
At least. D:
