So, Why Lucio?

I saw Measure for Measure with Dad, and old Will is undoubtedly brilliant. Lucio is a gentleman of leisure, a lechereous blowhard who hits on a nun (Hail, Virgin!), and claims to be an intimate of The Duke, right to The Duke's face. He got a girl pregnant, and his punishment is to marry her, a fate worse than death.

It's kind of my alter-ego after I've had a few. Lecherous as more than a few girls I know can attest to, and not adverse to uncouth behaviour and swearing. sigh, hard to put a good spin on yourself. 'not bad', 'yeah, alright i guess'. others have to give the good word, cos if it comes from the individual, it's as though there's no-one who'd speak up for him. but not to let this post turn into a downer, on with the story.

So Lucio hangs about in bars and all, but when he hears a mate's getting a harsh punishment (death) for a crime that is hardly a crime (the mate slept with his fiance, and there was to be a child out of wedlock), Lucio's on the case. he's off to the nunnery to find his mate's sister, because a plea for his mate's life'll sound better coming from the lips of a nun than those of a 'gentleman of leisure'. Gossip gets around, and his marriage is a result of gossiping to the wrong person (the Duke in disguise as a monk). He makes a pass at his mate's sister the nun, sure, but doesn't push it. just a bit of harmless muckin about.

SO, my MSN tag for a while. Lucio. step up from Victa, but not out of the woods yet. have to see if it's possible to not push anything on the girl with the boyfriend all the way in byron... if the situation arises where i have the opportunity to. posted by Keegan at 7:13 pm
