||20|| [Video]
[When the video switches on, it's to Rory and Amy just entering their flat again. Because they've been gone. For a while. Rory switches on the light, stepping away from the door.]
Alright, it looks like nobody's moved in in our absence, so...that's something.
[ Amy nods slowly and looks around. ] How long d'you think we've been gone?
[Rory ponders this, and then walks offscreen. There's the sound of the fridge opening. And after a moment, it closes, and he comes back.] The milk's still fine so...probably not years?
No, not years. Not here. But it's been a while, right? You remember all the same, d'you? Melody, and River, and Mels, yeah? [ For a moment, Amy frowns, a little worried, before she shrugs it off. ] 'course you do.
[Rory comes to put his arm around her and speak a little ruefully.] Hitler in the closet? Yeah, we're from the same place, Amy. [He opens his mouth like he's about to say something else. Only that's the point at which music from nowhere starts up. He looks around.] What...? [Only then he starts singing. And emoting. Taking Amy's hands, singing away in a diagonal, singing to her. He's really fervent about this song.]
My breath it stops here
I’m all open-eyed
And I need surprise
My hands feel like wires
My fingers rust
I justify my Thoughts of Flight
And run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
Caught in tumbles
My oh my
To my surprise
Another canvas
Another slate
It’s my mistake, I just needed
So I’ll run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
We won’t describe
Even though we will try
What it’s like to be smiling in open air
My skin grows over
My mistakes
And I just can’t wait
The first few seconds
Disintegrate
Into a state of joy
So I’ll run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
We won’t describe
Even though we will try
What it’s like to be smiling in open air
One more day of perfect terror
Close my eyes and I’m still there
Wrapped in water
My eyes explode with all this light
My days just melt into the nights
And I can hear a symphony
Of perfect crystal melody
And I just can’t stop smiling at you
I just can’t stop smiling
Can every time I breathe in
Be every time you breathe out?
Could every time I breathe in
Be every time you breathe out?
[ Amy blinks, opening her mouth and closing it again, settling on a grin instead. ] Of course you'd end up cursed the minute we get back here. Of course. And I just jinxed myself, didn't I? Did I jinx myself?
[ And then something much more important crosses her mind, and ignoring Rory's singing, she speaks directly into the device. ] Doctor, you're still here right?
[ooc: Rory's cursed with Sing and Shout today! He'll be singing songs from Arthur Darvill's actual RL band because I couldn't resist.]
