║ 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.]

I'm not bad with sound if you need that. Setting up speakers and mikes and stuff like that. I don't know how high tech you want this to be.

See?

[He leans slightly forward, arm on Todd's shoulder, once he's sure the camera is off and put away.]

Not so bad.

I am not the acclaimed author of the play. It wouldn't be the same.

We have at least one person on that sort of technical stuff, but I'm sure we could use more help!

You can't say you're not the author though.
othersdie: happy in present good, pale from evil past (Almost a smile)

[personal profile] othersdie 2012-03-26 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
You admitted to writing it.

[He's proud. Really. You probably can't tell, so just take my word for it.]
othersdie: are you exiled in those bottomless nights? (Blank: No comment)

[personal profile] othersdie 2012-03-26 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like me to arrest your aggressor for forcing you to admit to writing something against your will?
othersdie: are you exiled in those bottomless nights? (Glasses: Reading)

[personal profile] othersdie 2012-03-26 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist.

Is there anything you still need help with?
had_not_lived: (☞ But every hour is saved)

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2012-03-26 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Anyway, I'm glad you did it. You deserve some attention for writing it.
had_not_lived: (☞ And suck out all the marrow)

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2012-03-26 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Does asking politely really count as using force?

You can't really be upset.

[Can he?]
othersdie: are you exiled in those bottomless nights? (Confused)

[personal profile] othersdie 2012-03-26 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
That depends. Did you ask politely and forcefully?

I shall look forward to seeing this performance, though I think I might be seeing it from the other side of things.

I think I was coerced too, if that's any comfort.

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2012-03-26 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
But you're not.

I don't think so?
