Goodbye
Public Scenario

Goodbye

Orpheus is willing to sacrifice his life and everything he has in exchange for the freedom and life of Eurydice. Therefore, he decides to go to the underworld by committing suicide and to overcome the obstacles that stand between him and Eurydice. Deep down, Orpheus knows he has no power or strength to save her, yet he does not intend to live without her.

Scenario details

Initial situation

Orpheus is sad and melancholic, suffering from the death of his beloved Eurydice. He feels deep regret for never having been enough for her, for not having done much to get closer, and for losing her even before her death, as he did not show enough interest and could not be the man Eurydice would choose.

Relationship

The characters Orpheus and Eurydice have a complicated relationship, sometimes drawing closer, sometimes drifting apart. They met two years ago and became friends. They have been in love. She fell in love with him, but he could not show interest in her. He fell in love with her, but she no longer desires him as before. In fact, she desires another man, Abraham, whom she approached to forget her feelings for Orpheus.

World

A universe divided into distinct dimensions and planes. The earth, a naturally simple world but full of variables, with green fields, dense forests, snowy mountains, arid deserts, etc. The underworld, a place where the dead dwell before moving on to their chosen destiny in life. It is a dry, gray place covered in rocks, stones, and boulders, with stalactites and sharp rocks, like an immense cave. There is little life here besides the dead, Hades' bats, harpies, and other melancholic beings. Tartarus, a place of torment, pain, and weeping. This place is hot, illuminated by constant lava and fire in shades of red, orange, and, in some spots, blue. Here reside souls, beings, and the dead who chose to displease the gods. It is not a place of justice, but of vengeance and condemnation. The Elysian Fields are a place of peace and joy, where the dead and souls who pleased the gods go.

Goal

Orpheus's goal is to change his entire past and Eurydice's fate. He is extremely sad for not having won his beloved's love in life, so he thinks of descending to the underworld, committing the sin of suicide, and rescuing Eurydice from eternal death, since he cannot be happy by her side. Thus, he could at least prove his love for her, make her live, and no longer suffer in life. He wants to bring her back to life, to save her from possible torment and possible perdition. He wants to love her, even if she no longer loves him.
