Looking for castmates to join her at Throne of Shadows

[glinda_bubbles]

I find this unnervicating, Miss, I really do.

I don't want to see her again. She already stole one Prince from me, why should she be allowed to steal yet another? I don't want to even see that wicked woman's face once more. She disgustifies me. She infuricates me. She ... she ... she won.

I shouldn't care to see Fiyero either. He was the one who left me for her. She may have been the best woman for him but it shall never change the graveness of my hurting heart. I never want to put eyes on his face again.

Ever yours,
Glinda the Good.

I'm not usually one to give out advice but have you ever thought of looking at this through the girl's point of view?

Her struggles and problems? I mean I hate to say it but unless she did this underhandedly there was no "Stealing".

The guy chose who he was in love with.

[glinda_bubbles]

Then he shouldn't have chosen to be engagified with myself. He could have said something before he made a scandal of it.

I was in love with him.

[one_winged_demon]

Still that's no fault of the girl. You would of done the same thing of going through the engagement as she sat there or became just a bit more bitter with the world.

[glinda_bubbles]

Yes. It is her fault, they're both to blame.

She knew how I felt about him. How I've always felt for him.

[one_winged_demon]

You've always felt this way, so you would say it was an instant connection that you couldn't of changed even if you wanted to?

[He knew he was holding out for a miracle here but he hoped Glinda would get the pot calling the kettle black scenario that was presenting itself.]

[glinda_bubbles]

I would say that when two people make an arrangement to be married that regardless how other people felt about one side of the partnership that she should have kept her horrid green nose out of it!

[one_winged_demon]

Could you with all honesty say you would do the same if the situations were reversed?

Human, or whatever you are, relationships are complex and marriage only an invented ceremony. Nothing more unless the mutual feelings are there.

[He sometimes did find it sad when he noticed things about various species that they did not. He just hid it behind an annoyed look however.]

[glinda_bubbles]

If he had chosen her I would have stepped back and done the honourable thing. I am a lady. I do not steal what isn't mine.

[one_winged_demon]

Yet you talk about a person like a possession to be owned? I think you need to look at your priorities here.

Also I'm going to assume you know this girl, do you take her for someone who would actively flirt?

[glinda_bubbles]

She was my best friend. The only friend who ever mattered to me and I lost the both of them.

[one_winged_demon]

Well then maybe you should talk to her about it maturely. If you want your friend back you should try to understand her.

I don't know the whole situation but I think in the end it was The Prince who was unfaithful and took advantage of both your feelings.

[no_one_mourns]

[WHY DON'T YOU JUST ASK THE WIZARD FOR A NEWER, BETTER PRINCE? SINCE HE'S SO KEEN ON GIVING YOU EVERYTHING OTHER PEOPLE WANTED and are since obligated to no longer want, under condition of having Moral Principles that clearly you don't have.]

Really, Glinda, you make it sound like I've made a habit of it.

[glinda_bubbles]

[SHE DOESN'T NEED TO YOU GRASSHOPPER. SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF GETTING A BETTER PRINCE. SO HA.]

Fool me once, witch, shame on me. I shan't give you opportunity to fool me twice.

[no_one_mourns]

[Does he love you as much as Fiyero? OOOOH BURN.]

Oh, for the love of Oz, will you stop and use your head for once? I realize this might be difficult for you...

[No but really she feels kinda bad about the whole Fiyero thing but seriously Glinda she thought you were capable of using your brain. This is like early Shiz all over again. Where's smart Glinda? Off in her own little world, letting vain and self-absorbed Glinda take over. Hmph.]

[glinda_bubbles]

[He'll love her more once he meets her. Glinda is sure of it.]

And what! Just say 'Oh it's just fine my best friend stole my fiance. I'm just so happy for the pair of the the cheating conniving criminals.'

[Glinda ain't happy. She's one step away from hitting you with her staff.]

You took away the two things I truly care about, Elphaba. And I will never forgive you for that.

[no_one_mourns]

[Was it selfish, to 'steal' Fiyero away from Glinda? Possibly. But is it any more selfish than Glinda clinging to Fiyero for herself, when she's not what Fiyero wants? And doesn't Fiyero play any part in this? No, no, of course not, it's her, it's all her, the Wicked Witch of the West. Of course she stole Fiyero, because it couldn't possibly be that Fiyero stole himself to give to her. And just once, she wants it to be okay to be selfish. Why can't Elphaba get what Elphaba wants, instead of always looking after everyone else?]

I don't need your forgiveness. [Lies. Liiiiiiiiiies.]

[glinda_bubbles]

[That's because Fiyero was meant to be Glinda's husband. But Elphaba was something more. She had been Glinda's best friend. She had helped to shape her into the strong woman she was today but only through hurting her and herself. She had brought all of this on herself through her own stubbornness and refusal to just submit to the higher powers that be.]

Good! Because you shan't ever receive it for as long as I live!

So take him. You've always been good at taking things that don't belong to you.
