Multi-Band Dynamic Incorrect Quote/Scenario 1: “Sick of Your Bickering”
-This scenario (more action than dialogue here) features The Who, Pink Floyd, and Supertramp if they lived in the same house together-
-Context: Everyone in the house is sick, or recovering from being sick, and those who are feeling better are attempting to start moving things back to normal-
Keith Moon: *Knocked out on the couch after trying to take an excessive amount of cold medicine to see what would happen*
John Entwistle: *Warily, and wearily watching over Keith* *Looks absolutely exhausted, as one who hasn't quite bounced back all the way, but can’t rest when half of his bandmates have*
Roger Hodgson: *Comes in through the front door, arriving back from the laundromat with three big bins of comforters, quilts, and sheets, and upon going over to the coffee table to start folding things, is struggling to try and separate it all out and fold the sheets before the wrinkle up*
Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey: *Having a heated argument on one end of the living room about whether or not to open windows and get fresh air in the house while multiple housemates are still sick*
Roger Waters and David Gilmour: *Having an outright screaming match on the other side of the living room that somehow started over cleaning out a vacuum cleaner filter*
John Entwistle: *Glances between Keith beside him, Roger Hodgson struggling to untangle and fold the sheets, and his bickering bandmates and housemates* *Sighs* “CAN SOMEONE HELP ROGER FOLD ALL THIS LAUNDRY?”
Pete and Roger Daltrey: *Stop arguing, look at each other and back toward Roger Hodgson with sheepish looks, and come over and start helping by sorting and separating out their items*
Roger Waters and David: *Stop arguing, scowl at each other before looking pointedly away from each other, then come over and help, too*
Roger Hodgson: *Frozen in place with a half-folded fitted sheet hanging off his hands by the inverted corners and blinks* *Is speechlessly bewildered*

"The end of Anne Boleyn marks the more sinister transformation in Henry's kingship which underlay his solemn protestations of spiritual headship and godly reform. Nobody could now call him to account in the sacred or secular realm, and although it goes too far to say that his will was law, since some respect was still due to the judicial process, the legal travesty of Anne's trial and execution shows what his unchecked authority could achieve. It also illustrated the forces which Henry had unleashed by breaking with Rome. From this point onwards, political division would be matched by a level of ideological division previously unknown. Anne had been backed by those who supported religious reform and sneered at papal pretension; her fall was hastened by the efforts of those whose loyalties lay with Princess Mary and the Catholic past. Cromwell had slipped adeptly (and temporarily) from the former group to the latter, and such political reinventions were to remain common, but many continued to be fired by strong religious convictions, allowing religious division to exacerbate political tensions to a dangerous extent." (Henry VIII, Lucy Wooding)

"For all Henry's protestations of the contrary, the atmosphere at his court in his final years was almost as unsettled and claustrophobic as during the Wars of the Roses. John Husee answered the charge that he no longer sent reports of state affairs to the Lisles by explaining, 'I thereby might put myself in danger of my life...for there is divers here that hath been punished for reading and copying with publishing abroad of news; yea, some of them are at this hour in the Tower.' Civil order was maintained, but only because Henry sold the bulk of the confiscated monastic lands at rock-bottom prices to willing purchasers to create a whole new class of property-owners with a vested interest in the status quo. Spies and informers stalked the country, safe-conducts were needed to travel abroad and the posts were intercepted-- no one felt completely safe." (Hunting the Falcon, Fox&Guy).
