INSTRUCTIONS: Silent throughout.
The blue could only be described as a mix of that corporate blue you find on software, logos, and neckties that try to convince you of an established powerful corporate industry company and the waxy blue that cheap crayons appear when you hold them up to the light. Very bright and artificial – much like the blue you would find on a toothbrush or stuff animal; not at all the blue you’d think to find on a ball-shaped giant furry creature breathing heavily in an empty room.
The room is bare, with white walls and thick white carpeting. Its walls enclose an area of 15 by 15 feet. The blue creature is situated in the middle of the room – its nose facing the south wall.
It exhales a heavy tiresome sigh through its giant nose (which occupies a whole third of its body) – and this gush of air sends a wave of movement in its tufts of hair under its black nose. Through inhaling and exhaling slowly, the creature almost seems to morph between a flattened pancake and an elongated egg.
Two nude figures enter the room, one male and one female. They enter the room at the two back corners and walk towards the blue-haired ball with calm deliberate steps, using the breathing of the creature as a metronome and pacing their footfalls with its calm tempo. Both are relaxed, keeping their arms loosely at their sides and keeping, not a rigid gaze forward but, a general awareness of the environment.
When they two figures reach the blue haired creature – its long hairs tickling their skin, they both embrace the creature and fall into its soft electric blue fur. The creature catches its breath – Fear? Excitement? Elation?
The creature sighs, continues breathing softly into a slumber and the two figures fall away with their mouths covered in blue, sticky, viscous ooze, dripping down their chins like neon blue honey. They stand facing each other, conversing animatedly in a oozing silent two way monologue.
