#ain't no length to which a girl won't go / any way the wind blows

@heartinhands : ‘ i knew you’d come through for me. ’ (hadestown vergcam......)

"You did not." She practically snarls it, fists balled at her sides. "You. Did. Not." There's ash in her hair turning it grey just like Hell does to her--Leaves her pallid like every human corpse is. A trade to reach the underside, maybe, or just what the journey's done to her. Like he'd ever ask, like he'd care. But she can't even stay angry which only frustrates her more / Not with half-formed jagged armor prodding out at odd angle from his shoulders / Roots and branches of demonic matter jailing him without any caution or concern. It's inhuman and the wrongness of everything's shape here is already beginning to make her sick.

Her devil hisses something awful--its voice here is much louder--as it forms around her arm like a portent of doom, a scythe formed in liquid obsidian that extends out past her palm so she can swing it far behind her back in a wide arc. Freeing him is only the first step, everything else comes after. Cam doesn't have time to hold his hand and she knows as much as it would make her sure she's done the right thing, Vergil would hate her for it. She'll never be glad this has happened. She's only glad the darkness won't let the shining tears in her eyes be seen. "You didn't, Vergil--But you're lucky I did."

HADESTOWN. ( 1 / ? ) roleplay starters of anaïs mitchell's hadestown. feel free to edit according to scenario / pronouns.

ROAD TO HELL.

once upon a time there was a railroad line.

don't ask where, brother, don't ask when.

it was a world of gods and men.

it's an old song.

it's an old tale from way back when.

there were three old women all dressed the same.

ride that train to the end of the line.

see, someone's got to tell the tale.

it's a sad tale.

it's a tragedy.

don't forget that times are hard.

let me introduce you to a few of them.

his mama was a friend of mine.

it's a love song.

he was touched by the gods themselves.

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS.

she was no stranger to the world.

the weather ain't the way it was before.

ain't no spring or fall at all anymore.

it's either blazing hot or freezing cold any way the wind blows.

there ain't a thing that you can do.

do you hear that sound?

ain't nobody gonna stick around when the dark clouds roll.

anybody got a match?

gimme that.

people turn on you just like the wind.

everybody is a fair weather friend.

in the end, you're better off alone.

ain't no length to which a girl won't go.

sometimes you think just to fill your belly full of food.

you know how those muses are.

this poor boy, he wore his heart out on his sleeve.

you might say he was naïve to the ways of the world.

he had a way with words.

and it ain't because i'm kind.

i took him underneath my wing and that is where he stayed until one day…

COME HOME WITH ME.

you wanna talk to her?

[ name ]? don't come on too strong.​

come home with me.

who are you?

is he always like this?

your name is like a melody.

oh, a liar, and a player too!

i've met too many men like you.​

he's not like any man you've met.​

tell her what you're workin' on.​

i'm workin' on a song.

i haven't seen a spring or fall since… i can't recall.​

oh, he's crazy.​..

why would i become his wife?

what else ya got?

WEDDING SONG.

who's gonna buy the wedding bands?

times being what they are - hard and getting harder all the time.

lover, when i sing my song all the rivers'll sing along.

the river's gonna give us the wedding bands.

who's gonna lay the wedding table?

so when you sing your song the one you're working on spring will come again?

why don't you sing it then?

it isn't finished.

you wanna take me home?

how'd you do that?

even so, it can do this?

EPIC I.

where'd you get that melody?

i don’t know. it came to me as if i'd known it all along.

you’ve heard that melody before?

remember the tale i told you once about the gods?

i remember now, but that was long ago.

tell it again though.

without her above, not one flower would grow.

the gods sang his song of love.

that was long ago, before we were on this road.

Any Way the Wind Blows - Hadestown

People turn on you just like the wind Everybody is a fair-weather friend In the end you're better of alone Any way the wind blows

When your body aches to lay it down When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go 'round Ain't no length to which a girl won't go Any way the wind blows

And sometimes you think You would do anything Just to fill your belly full of food Find a bed that you could fall into Where the weather wouldn't follow you Wherever you go Any way the wind blows

Hadestown - Any Way The Wind Blows

Eurydice was a hungry young girl A runaway from everywhere she'd ever been She was no stranger to the world No stranger to the wind

Weather ain't the way it was before Ain't no spring or fall at all anymore It's either blazing hot or freezing cold Any way the wind blows

And there ain't a thing that you can do When the weather takes a turn on you 'Cept for hurry up and hit the road Any way the wind blows

Do you hear that sound (Wind comes up, move) to another town Ain't nobody gonna stick around When the dark clouds roll Any way the wind blows

You met the Fates Remember them (anybody got a match?) Always singing in the back of your mind (gimme that) Wherever it was, this young girl went The fates were close behind

People turn on you just like the wind Everybody is a fair-weather friend In the end you're better off alone Any way the wind blows

When your body aches to lay it down When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go 'round Ain't no length to which a girl won't go Any way the wind blows

and sometimes you think (Wind comes up, you) would do anything Just to fill your belly full of food Find a bed that you could fall into Where the weather wouldn't follow you Wherever you go Any way the wind blows

Now Orpheus was the son of a muse And you know how those muses are Sometimes they abandon you And this poor boy He wore his heart out on his sleeve You might say he was naive to the ways of the world

But he had a way with words And the rhythm and the rhyme And he sang just like a bird up on a line And it ain't because I'm kind

But his mama was a friend of mine And I liked to hear him sing And his way of seeing things So I took him underneath my wing And that is where he stayed Until one day

People turn on you just like the wind

Everybody is a fair-weather friend

In the end you're better of alone

Any way the wind blow

When your body aches to lay it down

When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go 'round

Ain't no length to which a girl won't go

Any way the wind blows

(Wind comes up ooh)

And sometimes you think

(Wind comes up you)

You would do anything

Just to fill your belly full of food

Find a bed that you could fall into

Where the weather wouldn't follow you

Wherever you go

Any way the wind blows.
