Characters

Rosencrantz- Carefree and creative, but insecure or instinctively fearful/dissatisfied with fate.

Summary

Guil flips a coin and loses money to Ros. Heads comes up remarkably often, leading the two to a brief argument on probability and chance. Guil speculates about why heads is on such a streak while Ros just takes his money without questioning it. Guildenstern starts philosophizing and Ros taps out. They remember that they were called upon but don't know where they're supposed to go. They hear music and follow it into the woods. They come upon the Tragedians and it gets kind of sexual. The player and Guil enter into a round of betting that ends up with Guil winning a performance off the tragedians.

Ros and Guil appear in Elsinore, thrusting the audience right into Hamlet. Clausius asks for their assistance in finding what Hamlet is up to.
