12:20 - If this is a curse, it doesn't seem to fit any sort of seasonal theme. Which seems odd, somehow, with this. I know not everything fits like that but...all the same.
12:51 - Don't sleep. Anybody. It is definitely a curse and it is definitely one of the horrible ones.
1:27 - It's not as if we haven't run on very little sleep before. Literally, run. I'm sure we'll be fine.
2:53 - Alright, I...think I'm beginning to change my mind. This is worse. You can't even close your eyes for a moment. ... Oh, god, Amy, really... Well, she's...right, at least. Definitely. Don't.
3:40 - I think if everyone really was as incompetent as infomercials would have us believe, I'd have even more work than I do.
5:00 - [filtered to hospital] I'm really sorry, I know it's a bad time, and I know I practically just got there, but I can't be in today. Curse reasons.
5:30 - Never been to a zoo just before dawn before. I suppose there's a first time for everything.
6:45 - I think this park is very probably also bigger on the inside.
10:00 - Surprisingly, neutrals are not actually the enemy.
10:15 - A room can only stand so much red in it before it starts actually hurting your eyes. And even thinking of anything white is a horrible idea.
10:18 - For the record, I like red, obviously, I just also think that there can be too much of it.
10:18 - A red sectional is too much.
11:49 - There is literally nothing wrong with this chair!
4:11 - [filtered away from Amy, Rose and the Doctor] Oh shit.
5:00 - [filtered to the Doctor] Help? You know Rose better, what do we DO?
6:47 - Wow. Just...wow.
7:00 - scmjnudfuyasdfssssssssssssssssssss
7:01 - Shit, sorry.
7:02 - [filtered to Amy] Hey. Are you nearly back? How much longer do you think you'll be?
7:03 - [filtered to Amy] Right, yes. I...yes. Yeah. I just....you know. I'd like to know you're alive. Firsthand. Videre est credere and all...that.
7:05 - [filtered to Amy] Oh…yeah, sorry. ...neither did I. Seeing is believing.
7:08 - [filtered to Amy] That's what videre est credere means, I meant. Or...sorry. I'm tired.
9:50 - Lying on a sofa: actually not a brilliant idea when you're trying to stay awake.
9:52 - [filtered to the Doctor] Uh...would you mind checking in? Sorry, just...say something. It would help.
10:43 - Does anybody here know the rules to Ludo? I have a question.
11:00 - Okay, that's ridiculous. You definitely have to roll exactly to reach the final square. You can't...invent a move based on random piece capture and then say that as long as you reach the square at all it's okay.
11:15 - Alright, time for Monopoly. No-one really knows the rules to that anyway. ‘Buy things’.
11:40 - How did you end up with all the railroads?!
12:20 - It's definitely over. Woke up with the top hat stuck to my face. The curse, I mean.


[ooc: So this is a post ranging over the entire day. IC, he would have been adding to it on the times noted. So if you want to comment, time-stamp your comment as to where you want it to happen. Comment multiple times! Just. PLEASE. Time-stamp. Amy's matching post is here.]

[ So, that was awful. Terrifyingly awful, and Amy's not even trying to hide her trembling while clinging to Rory, both eyes wide open. ]

Rory.

10:18

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

That red sectional would have looked great and you know it.

11:00

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

I didn't invent that move.

11:40

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

I'm just that good. Now give me the money.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

[ Tired and sleep-befuddled, but despite the fact that they just slept for twenty minutes without waking up screaming and clinging to one another, making sure they were still aliv, Amy's making sure her eyes are wide open all the way to their bedroom. ]

It's over, yeah? Really, really over?

7:08 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

[ Back from her coffee run, with two bags in one hand, the key dangling from the other. ] Hey.

2:53 | action

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Rory's trying to watch for every moment of Amy's movement, finding comfort in her chest moving against his arm as she breathes, even in her trembling to an extent, though that could just as easily be him. He feels a bit ill, like he'd throw up right now if he hadn't developed better control. His voice cracks slightly when he speaks.]

Amy.

10:18

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

It would have looked like a horrible disaster in the middle of our sitting room.

2:53 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [ Amy knows she should probably loosen her hold on Rory's arm, but even just the thought of letting go makes her feel worse, alone. The dream was so real-- she can almost still smell the smoke, feel the helplessness. ]

Just a dream, right? Just a dream.

10:18

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Where's your sense of adventure.

[Text - 12:23]

[totallyinaband]

You too, man?

[Text - 12:23]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

If you mean horrific nightmares, then yes. Me too.

10:18

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

It doesn't apply to sofas.

[Rory nods tersely.] Yeah. [Amy is breathing. He can hear her breathing. He nearly moves his hand to check the pulse at her neck, and then flinches, and doesn't. He can't--he doesn't want-- Except that was the dream, wasn't it? It isn't true anymore. Even so, he shudders, and keeping his hands right away from Amy, moves to rest his head on her chest, waiting until he can hear the thud of her heart before breathing out shakily.]

So, ah... I guess this completely discounts sex as a passtime today?

[Rory TRIED to not sit directly by the door but....well, there was a counter and he'd had a bad enough dream that he was beginning to doubt the substance of Amy. Like if he missed her coming in, she'd walk right through his life and out the other side before he noticed. He smiles slightly to greet her. It's mostly a worried expression.]

Hi.

[He slips off the counter and reaches for her...and then stops. Maybe he hasn't woken up. Maybe he has and his arms will go right through her anyway.] The saying should probably be credere sensus... [He's got the door open a crack. If he's going to dream about it anyway, he might as well have some of the support from it as well.

Which, of course, isn't helping him in regards to Amy. 1900 years and everything surrounding Amy is still the same.] I don't...

[Responding to her on his device would be SILLY. He just looks up at her.] I can't. I can give you Whitechapel Road or something.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Rory's using Amy for support as much as he is supporting her. It was only a day awake, shouldn't have made him so tired, but it felt so LONG.]

It's past midnight. I checked. [When they're in their bedroom, he steels himself, and leans slightly closer in order to kiss Amy, eyes closed.]

[Text - 12:23]

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, that would be it. God, they're not even letting us blink.

[Text - 12:23]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Aren't they? I'm sure I've blinked by now. At least Amy apparently has practise in that. I'll tell her it might be a condition.

Re: [Text - 12:23]

[totallyinaband]

Practice in... blinking?

[Text - 12:23]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Practice in not blinking.

[Text - 12:23]

[totallyinaband]

I'm guessing she usually wins at staring contests, then.

[Text - 12:23]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'm being vague, she met some hostile aliens once who could only move when you blinked.

Re: [Text - 12:23]

[totallyinaband]

That's... certainly less vague.

I really hope this doesn't last all day. There are going to be some cranky people around.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

[ Amy laughs, but it's a shaky sound, too close to a sob, so she stops again before it turns into one. ] Yeah. Sex is definitely out.

[ She runs a hand through Rory's hair, leaving it at his neck, just holding on, making sure he's still there, and trying desperately not to let her eyes slide shut. ]

10:18

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

That's a weak excuse.

11:40 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

[ Amy thinks about that for a moment. ] Whitechapel Road and that house and you have yourself a deal.

12:20 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

[ Amy keeps her eyes open just a little longer, but she's so tired and Rory's still kissing her, with his eyes closed, and it seems to be okay. It really seems to be okay.

She closes her eyes and kisses him back. ]

7:08 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Okay. [ Amy stops for a moment, mustering him, before she drops the coffee and the keys on the counter and kisses Rory, eyes wide open and just briefly, because it is too tempting to let your eyes slide close while kissing. ]

You don't what, stupid? [ Her voice is gentle when she asks, despite the ... pet name. ]

11:00

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

It's completely obscure, and I was nearly at the end with my piece and I have NEVER heard of that move. Backwards capture.

11:00

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't invent it and it's legit. Stop whining.

7:08 | action

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Tangible. Oh god, she's tangible. He's having a hell of a time keeping his eyes open now, he just wants to close his eyes and hug her forever.]

No, it...it doesn't matter now. I'm just glad you're here.

7:08 | action

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Hey. Eyes open. [ Amy is-- actually a little worried about Rory now. This whole day is messed up, of course, but usually Rory is the more balanced of them. Deep down. It's unsettling to see him so unsettled. ]
