the arms of tantalus - pulp musicals lyrics

[narrator]
at that moment
margaret and sia looked for taavi
at the paradise research institute
all the gatherers worried
kal was throwing a fit
at the paradise research institute

[gatherer 1]
he’s tearing every lab apart
until there’s only scr*ps

[gatherer 2]
screaming

[gatherer 1]
sweating

[gatherer 2]
bloodshot eyes

[gatherers 1 & 2]
he’s completely snapped

[margaret]
do you know where he is now
[gatherer 1]
bas*m*nt level three

[margaret]
sia, let me talk to him alone

[sia]
margaret, plеase
i can’t feel him anymore
his presеnce, his thoughts, a mystery
something in him’s been knocked loose
it’s like we’ve lost him completely

[margaret]
you know i have to try
my traveler, stand by
(teleportation)

[narrator]
everything was ripped up but the walls
each room turned inside out
kal paced like a jackal

[margaret]
tell me what this is all about
[kal, spoken]
oh hey, mags

[kal]
i was up all night in virology
on orders of the king
you know i like to mix and brew
so much, i used up everything
everything, everything
i didn’t pay enough attention
can’t be everywhere all the time
my property has been stolen
i’m the victim of a serious crime
itzal would be furious
if i fail to track them down
it might be the end of me

[kal, spoken]
have you seen taavi around?

[margaret]
what have you gotten into
what does my father have you doing

[kal]
why are you just standing there
help me look for them or get moving
[margaret]
we’re friends
tell me if you’re in over your head

[kal]
if i catch the one who did this
they are dead, dead, dead!

[kal, spoken]
wait–

[kal]
i know why you aren’t looking
it’s because you did it

[margaret, spoken]
what?

[kal]
we can skip the pageantry
now tell me where you hid it

[margaret, spoken]
stop–

[kal]
you knew we were close
you spied on us, admit it
well i won’t let you take the credit
i forbid it
(fog bubbles and attacks. margaret defends. sia teleports in to help)

[sia, spoken]
kalfu, what are you doing?!

[kal, spoken]
about time, sia! you’re just in time to catch the fireworks!

[margaret, spoken]
(sadly) please don’t do this!

[kal, spoken]
give them back!
(another attack and defense)

[margaret, spoken]
he’s lost his mind

[sia, spoken]
get ready to do our combined attack

[margaret, spoken]
that could k!ll him!

[kal, spoken]
tell me where they are! the gates have spoken!

[sia, spoken]
now, margaret!
(extreme radiance – the combined attack lands)

[narrator]
with radiance like lightning
kal shattered into fog
pulsing and crashing
as total anger filled him
margaret and sia
held on to each other
as the fog faded away
they believed they’d k!lled him

[margaret, spoken]
what did he mean ‘the gates have spoken’?

[sia, spoken]
(breathing heavily) we need to get back to the bonaventure. now
(teleportation)

[dakkar, spoken]
sister

[margaret, spoken]
kal… he’s–

[sia, spoken]
gone

[mary katharine, spoken]
gone? what…?

[sia, spoken]
he attacked margaret. we fought back and he turned into fog

[cyrus, spoken]
my god

[sia, spoken]
it’s unclear if he’s dead or if he’s completely transformed. either way–

[ahlaam, spoken]
did he know where taavi was?

[margaret, spoken]
he asked me the same thing

dakkar
taavi left behind two orreries
with firestone fitted in the center
different than any i’d ever seen or used
he also stole kal’s journal
a log with careful notes
taavi stumbled onto something huge
i’m sorry, margaret
you need to hear this
in his obsession
with seeing mother again
itzal’s tried to go back in time
for years, he used firestone
then, kal made elixirs
with shadow powers on both sides
in his addiction
with the arms of tantalus
all of it was only in his mind
‘till they discovered
orreries could help them
tragically, they ventured in a dangerous direction
of course there had to be tests
the king would find volunteers
they’d visit kal one by one
and one by one they disappeared

[margaret, spoken]
(horrified) no…

[dakkar]
kal has lost his compass
the king has gone insane
these machines can’t be built
without these notes to help explain
without them, they have nothing
these orreries are all that remain
(rushing footsteps)

[taavi, spoken]
there you are!

[ahlaam, spoken]
taavi! taavi, where have you been!?!

[taavi, spoken]
i was helping other gatherers. with kal destroying the institute, none of them know what to do…

[cyrus, spoken]
we got the things you left behind

[mary katharine, spoken]
that was very brave

[ahlaam, spoken]
and stupid! we were so worried

[taavi, spoken]
of course, my love. i’m sorry

[margaret, spoken]
we’re going to put an end to this

[dakkar, spoken]
not without a plan. (beat) this is what we’re going to do

[narrator]
the bonaventure swayed
in the solace of the harbor
travelers and searchers
were united on the water
taavi leaned in close
with a whisper of a smile
