I know what your thinking. Oh my god! Some idiot decided to cast the Slayers as Romeo and Juliet. Well fans of Slayers that idiot is me. ^_^ I was thinking about Slayers then suddenly I looked at my Shakespeare book and inspiration struck. No this is not a crossover just a recycled plot I guess. I love Shakespeare's plots! Some of the character's may not appear, that's because I decided they could be removed or they're played by nameless extras! Shakespeare's probably spinning in his grave by that comment. I'm gonna butcher Shakespeare's original dialogue. >.< Here goes the Casting List!
| Shakespeare | Slayers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Escalus, The Prince | Prince Philonel of Sailoon | (of course! ^_^) |
| Paris | Xellos | (Out of character it may seem. I kinda wish he played something else.) |
| Lady Capulet | Luna Inverse | (There is no Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet gets to be full guardian ^_^;) |
| Juliet Capulet | Lina Inverse | (I would've given this to Shifiel but maybe I'll do that as another fanfic that's a maybe! ^.~) |
| Juliet's Nurse | Naga | (Who else should taunt Lina? I can name quite a few but she'll do.) |
| Montague | Zangulus | (I was gonna give this part to Xellos or Rezo =P) |
| Lady Montague | Martina | (She'd fit fine don'tcha think? No real big part.) |
| Romeo Montague | Zelgadis Greywers | (Yes, you guessed it. I have a Lina/Zel bias! ^_^) |
| Benvolio (casting rewrite to Benviolia) | Ameria Wil Telsa Sailoon. | (A keeper of the peace has got to be Ameria or her father...) |
| Tybalt | Gourry Gabriev | (I'm sure the Lina/Gourry bias people are in an uproar. I keep thinking that Gourry has more of a relative love for Lina, not a love interest, that's why I didn't pick him to be Paris... He may be great for the part though.) |
| Mercutio | Xellos | (He gets to play double duty!! The trickster priest is perfect for the job of Mercutio! He wears a disguise so he's not mistaken as Paris!) |
| Friar Lawrence | Rezo the Red Priest | (Yes I'm well aware he is dead. Consider it a cameo and the very few times you actually see Zel like Rezo ^.~) |
| The rest is just people you might see that are played by extras
whom shall be nameless!
Sampson & Gregory: Servants to Lady Capulet Balthsar & Abraham: Servants to the Montagues. I get to be the narrator! Whoohoo! On goes the story! |
