║ seventieth stanza ║ video ║ BACKDATED TO SATURDAY

[Todd is sitting on the couch, holding the device. Clearly, this is actually an intentional video post, surprising as that may be. Nervously, he opens his mouth, then shuts it, glancing off to the side at something beyond the edge of the frame. But then he glances at the device again, and speaks.]

Um-- hello. I'm Todd Anderson, for anyone who doesn't know me. I, uh-- I wrote a play, which my roommate is putting on--

[And he glances over to the side again, now addressing a question in that direction with a little smirk.]

What exactly am I supposed to say?

Remind them what it's called?

[Neil-- because, really, who else would it be-- just sounds amused.]

And that we could still use people on the crew, if they want to help.

[And as Todd addresses the camera again, the frame shifts and there's Neil sitting next to him.]

It's called Like Clockwork, and we could still use people on the crew if anyone wants to help.

[After repeating Neil's words very literally, he looks towards Neil again, this time laughing slightly.]

Anything else?

[Neil leans in to the video frame, grinning, somewhere just behind Todd's shoulder.]

Just that we haven't set a show date, but probably sometime in May.

And [stage whisper] tell them we look forward to seeing them there.

[Todd laughs, and looks directly into the camera with the best fake smile he can manage; clearly a deliberate, jking move.]

We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you.

[He turns the device off, but he can't quite help that he bursts into embarrassed laughter before the feed cuts off.]


[ooc: Tra la la, still working through mounds of backdating, and as such this post is backdated to Saturday. Especially note that this is not happening during Dalek times obviously, ahaha. Blue is Todd, green is Neil.
PS: The ooc organization post is here.]

[She is so proud of you, Todd, you have no idea. But have the warmest smile!] I wouldn't miss it! I would be happy to help if there is something useful I might do. I suppose I learned a little about it last time.

I'm glad the immediacy shone through hte lateness!

Should I ask him then or just plan to show up to see if I can be of help?
deadly_legacy: (Pleasant - Helpful)

Brilliant!

I think I can handle that.

This is very exciting, Todd. I bet it will be outstanding.

I think the writer is very talented too. [Head tilt.]
