Scene not sure Act Whatever

Lights
Full Grown Baby Lemon (FGBL) enters, peels itself
      EDIT
FGBL enters, considers peeling itself.

Like the Sendor pieces, X is trying to formally catch your attention, but what is actually catching your attention is the thing that's behind the subject, the thing that you're not supposed to watch- in short, set up a structure in which misbehaving is essential and mischief is rewarded
       EDIT
FGBL enters a pool of light to stage right. removes her large plastic science goggles. unzips yellow hoodie and folds, places on table. lies down, back on table, arms folded over chest, as if going to sleep. her lower legs stick off the table a bit, feet fully flexed. starts to slide off table onto floor, as if table is covered in crisco. very slowly.  MEANWHILE, on the other side of the stage, BFP and Crouton are in frantic action (duetwork beginning with grape stem heads, turns into arm puzzle), by the time FGBL is juuuuust about to crumple to the floor, BFP and Crouton make a soft landing pad where she would fall- instead of crumpling, she finds herself sitting very upright on a pile made of their bodies. this is surprising because they've never really come through for her in the past. she'd never really considered them friends, but now things might be different, maybe they want somehow to help......

the goggles are important. they shield FGBL from her own sour juices, and they protect her eyes from sugar and serrated knives.

.....

DISCORDANCE.

.....

an invisible line is always drawn between each subject on stage. these lines comprise a map that is impossible to read and leads nowhere, but is the essential lifeforce behind everything.
