Twitter Log - 4-30-11 - Amy & Liz discuss the Oath and (in Liz's opinion) what makes a man a man.
Liz: Wow...not touching that with a 50 foot pole. >.<
Amy: Crazy craziness of the crazy is awesome. 'Sup, boss?
Liz: *Yay vague questions!* Nothing. *shifty eyes* ...you?
Amy: Same. Polished off the week's paperwork, now I'm enjoyin' the quiet. After last night, quiet's good. Where's yer hair?
Liz: What happened last night? *nervously runs her hand though her hair* Uh...had to get it cut off.
Amy: *just holds up her left hand, with its shinyhttp://bit.ly/iHLpsM ring on it* Why'd ya have t'get it chopped?
Liz: *jewelry doesn't impress Liz much, sorry* Oh...shiny. *Damn it, direct question* Something ate it...or tired to eat it.
Amy: *this is an ENGAGEMENT RING, Liz* *blink* ...What the hell? -How?-
Liz: *Amy's already married so...unphased. Liz has 5 different wedding ring sets* I was distracted & didn't have time to shoot it.
Amy: *long, long blink* Uh-huh. An' the baby?
Liz: *mumbles and looks away cuz damn it she can't LIE!* ...with Rory and Amy.
Amy: *STARES* Y'left yer kid with- wait, -how?-
Liz: *FUCK!* ...TARDIS....training. Timey Whimey...stuff. She's fine. They think being parents is easy so we decided to let them watch her so they can see it's -not- so easy . *Yup, Liz said 'we'*
Amy: ...Right. An' y'got an extra voice or three in your head now?
Liz: *insulted by that, cuz of the whole being in the crazy house thing* NO! It's just...complicated. Don't worry about it.
Amy: I got time for complicated, boss.
Liz: *srsly* Amy...don't. Please. *shakes her head* I can't...there are rules about this kinda thing. No...*whispers* ...spoilers.
Amy: Aw, -shit.- Liz! Not you too.
Liz: I'm sorry! *shakes head* I had to...and I -have- to.Just trust me, OK? Trust...*wants to say Jack, but can't* Just trust me. *She realizes that makes no sense, but the no spoilers/no lying thing is HARD!*
Amy:*facepalms* I try t'trust ya, but it's tough when y'can't tell me a damn bit'a what's goin' on.
Liz: I know. *steps closer and reaches for her hand* But you gotta have faith, OK? Things are finally getting back on track, but I can't influence that's going to happen with what I've seen. People need to have free will. It's the only way.
Amy: Can still have free will with information in hand. *grumble*
Liz: *sighs* What do you want to know, Amy? I told you a thing tried to eat my hair. I told you my friends are watching the baby. I told you I was away...and it's fine. That's want you asked, right? What else can I say that's gonna make any sense?
Amy: I don't know, okay? I wanna know what the hell I'm s'posed t'be doin', 'cause I feel like I'm treadin' thin' ice an' any minute it's gonna break under me an' I'm gonna drown. I'm fuckin' terrified for my family an' I dunno how t'fix all of it. I'm -lost.-
Liz: *breaking every rule in the book here, but...* It -won't-, I promise you it won't. And even if the ice did break...you SWIM, Amy. You are stronger than all this shit and you know it. I know it. I've -seen- it. *shakes voice* We'll beat them. We will.
Amy: I'm the "them" you're tryna beat, Liz. I gotta fight for "them." Luke's safe, but what about you, Nathan, an' everyone else?
Liz: *shakes her head* I...don't know. I didn't see how we do it, I just know that we...do. I've seen the future, Amy. You're there, your family is there and...everything's how it's supposed to be. *pretty much. Doesn't mention that bit is 'flexible'*
Amy: *closes her eyes* We're all...okay?
Liz: We all make it, yeah. *hugs her, trying to get this conversation to switch gears*
Amy: *whoa, hey, wtf, HUGS? when did this start happening again?* I just...I'm so fuckin' scared, Liz. I don't wanna do this.
Liz: *Liz has been 'away' a long time, Amy. Fighting isn't important.* I know, but you have to. You've strong enough to beat this.
Amy: I can't point a gun at my husband, or at you, an' pull the trigger, but I don' think I got a choice. *soft*
Liz: You -always- have a choice, Amy. You have no idea how hard people have worked to give you that.
Amy: I- what? *frowns* What're you talkin' about
Liz: You really think they can -force- you to fight, Amy? You really think they're gonna what...possess you and make you do things?
Amy: I dunno how it works, alright? But I took this stupid oath, an' it's kinda binding.
Liz: What did you say? *srsly* What -exactly- did you agree to?
Amy: I...*thinkythinkthinks* T'fight for the court'n defend the throne 'til I die...t'obey an' protect my king s'long as he's protectin' the people here, the ones I love...an' if I fail, I die.
Liz: *Bites her lip* Shit...* that explains why Amy's family is alive, but not much of a loophole* Hey, Nathan was a lawyer, right?
Amy: Yeah, he was. I been tryna think on it...but I can't see a way out of it. I mean, it doesn't protect you guys, does it?
Liz: It protects your family, it's good enough. *nods* We can...take care of ourselves if we have to.
Amy: An' if it comes to a showdown 'tween me'n you, an' the options are shoot or burn, what are we gonna do?
Liz: ....we figure out a third option before it comes to that.
Amy: Here's the option: incapacitate me. Don' kill me, but burn me, shoot me, stab me, whatever you gotta do. Take me down.
Liz: * swallows hard and nods* Yeah...
Amy: If y'don't, I won't have a choice but t'kill you. I don' want that. So take me down an incapacitate me. Don' let me hurt anyone.
Liz: I -won't-, OK! But it's not going to happen like that OK, we won't let it. There's gotta be something workable in that Oath. Ask Nathan. Lawyers are masters as finding weaknesses in contracts, even magical ones.
Amy: *nods, rubbing her face* I'll try t'remember exactly what I said. He was there.
Liz: Well maybe he should be trying to get you out of your contract instead of buying you shiny shit, huh?
Amy: 'Preciate the support, Liz. Really. *SARCASM SARCASM SARCASM*
Liz: *eyeroll* I'm just saying...Jack did the same thing, and it doesn't work. You can't -hide- from your problems behind gifts.
Amy: We ain't hidin', Liz! I -know- we got shit we gotta work through.
Liz: *frustrated* Does -he- know that, or is he just trying to slap a band aide on everything 'cause he feels guilty?
Amy: Why don't you ask -him- that? I ain't a telepath.
Liz: *scowls* Trust me, I'm gonna. He should protect you, no matter the cost. *God help @prezstandsalone next time Liz sees him*
Amy: Crazy craziness of the crazy is awesome. 'Sup, boss?
