( 15 ) video ♧ let us sing like the doves then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof

[ here's the thing: sleep deprivation makes idle whims seem like fantastic ideas-- and neal's not full up on self-control as it is, so two weeks of barely any sleep just raises great idea to best idea on his personal scale.

as such he's leaning against the wall behind his bed, pupils slightly blown. what is an intro he can't even. ]

Not we, my dear, you. I'm leaving you here.

You're what? Rhett, where are you going?

I'm going, my dear, to join the army.

[ his posture changes between; other than a few flat vowels slipping in as rhett, pushing for the accent seems a little too much and posture is good enough to convey the suggestion of gender, if you're careful. ]

Oh, you're joking. I could kill you for scaring me so.

I'm very serious, Scarlett. I'm going to join up with our brave lads in gray.

But they're running away.

Oh, no, they'll turn and make a last stand, if I know anything about them. And when they do, I'll be with them. I'm a little late, but better late than--

[ it's tricky to overlap your own voice, and his grimaces a little and shrugs as if apologizing for the lack of actual interruption in the scene. ( sleep deprivation or pretentiousness: the world may never know. ) ]

Rhett, you must be joking.

Selfish to the end, aren't you? Thinking of your own precious hide with never a thought for the noble cause. [ he yawns widely, skipping scarlett's line in the process. ] Why? Maybe it's because I've always had a weakness for lost causes, once they're really lost. Or maybe, maybe I'm ashamed of myself. Who knows?

[ he pauses, body language returning abruptly to his usual. ] I missed something, there. Anyway-- [ and back to the show. ]

You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless.

You, helpless? Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you. Now climb down here. I want to say goodbye.

[ that makes him pause, one that extends out into another jaw-cracking yawn and neal slumps down even more, almost prone now. ]

There's more, but it's really better with someone else.

[ and he's out. ]

Why that scene in particular?

[became]

It's one of my favorites.

[ evasion lbr. ]

You didn't mention the dreams either. Neither did Katherine-- you'd all fit right in at home, in my line of work.

[ by 'either' he means 'like eric' and by 'you' he means vampires.

sleep he misses it. ]

[becauseihaveto]

[Abby's smile is a small, clearly tired, one but it's clear she's somewhat amused. Her tone takes on a decidedly southern twang to it in a fair facsimile's of Scarlett's.]

Rhett, how could you do this to me, and why should you go now that, after it's all over and I need you, why? Why?

[A pause. Her tone turns back to normal.]

I haven't seen the film in a while but I think that's the line you missed.

At least someone else has seen it.

"Gone"

[ ...he loves you neal!! ]

[lockwood]

[Gone with the Wind is not Tyler's sort of movie -- but he also lives in a town that likes to have Gone with the Wind themed festivals that his mother helped throw.

So he's familiar.

He wishes he wasn't.]

You know, if you're going to go crazy at least pick a better movie to do with.

[became]

Why does everyone keep assuming a love of classic cinema means crazy?

[ just lazily pointing at the screen. ]

No need to answer that one, you might actually have one. Any particular complaint with the movie?

[makedo]

This is straight-up grade A special olympics levels of gay.

[became]

...no, I'm a fan of women.

[ he gets your point, brad

he's just choosing to ignore it entirely. ]

Jesus Christ.

[ neal what the hell. ]

[became]

I don't normally take requests, but I'd do a few scenes from Mark or Luke-- I think the representative from the great state of Delaware might object, though.

[jilt]

Taking to the stage in your exhaustion, my love?

[became]

You'd love this one, Irene. And you'd make a fantastic Scarlett.

[northerner]

You've lost your senses.

[ robb doesn't even sound surprised tbfh. ]

[became]

It's a play-- you know, you and your sister are cut from the same cloth.

[ it's called a complisult okay. ]

Mr. Caffrey.

[That's it. That's all Sark's got. He hasn't slept in weeks and you just reenacted a pivotal scene from GWTW in public.]

Sark.

Enjoy the performance?

[reticencies]

[it's kind of obvious what he is doing but the thing is that she can't exactly place where it's from] Is that from a movie?

voice;

[became]

Not you too? You're breaking my heart, Sarah.

It's Gone with the Wind, by the way.

voice »

[adlered]

Mr. Caffrey.

[ sweetie why. ]

It hardly works with one playing both parts.

voice »

[became]

It does lose a certain-- resonance.

[ also: coherence. ]

Still, a little imagination covers a multitude of sins.

[slipperysoul]

Think i've had enough Gone with the Wind for a few lifetimes.

[became]

[ JUST POINTING AT THE SCREEN ACCUSINGLY. ]

Impossible.

[withlace]

And yet, frankly my dear, no one seems to give a damn. [ she is amused by your life. in a quiet kind of way but still. ]

lmfao no i was waiting for someone to riff on this ilu

[became]

No accounting for taste.

[ he's awesomer than people who don't like gwtw, txt it. ]

The true greats are never appreciated by their contemporaries.

[ there is literally just peter making a face or ten at the screen before he finally actually says something because why, neal. ]

Tell me you did not just practically ask for someone to reenact the rest of that with you. [ including the makeouts. ] And when's the last time you even— closed your eyes.

video »

[became]

I didn't just practically ask for someone to reenact the rest of that with me.

[ obediently parroting with the kind of grin that says 'but i was tho'. ]

And I blinked twenty or thirty seconds ago.

[ that's not what he asked, dumbass. ]
