Whaaaaat. Okay, these guys didn't do any research at all.

[Sparks sinks into his seat. Maybe he'll just use this time to take a nap instead. He yawns none too subtly.]

It's all about the spirit of the story, Sparks Nevada. You need to take creative liberties to make good drama.

[Like casting a handsome, buff guy to play Barkeep to symbolize his heroic resolve or something. Real person fic is an art.]

And quit your yawnin', it's distractin'.
red_planet_blues: (stop being dumb)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2016-07-22 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. But it's just, y'know, weird when ya lived it.

[He yawns again, but he tries to stifle it fast so he can talk.]

No. 'M tired, Barkeep. This is the first I sat down in... in... I lost count.

Get your own bed, we're watchin' a show.

[He and the audience members near Sparks turn their attention back to the stage. The scene has shifted to a band of Heroes that snuck onto a Heran ship, and they're fighting through a horde of armored soldiers that throw themselves onto the floor every time an actor touches them with a prop weapon. They are too high up to jump back to safety! However will they return to the ground.]

Oh, I heard 'bout his part! Sparks! [He grabs his arm and shakes it.] This is gonna be good!

[Well that wakes him up. He's suddenly sitting up now.]

What? What is. What's-- oh. No way, nothin' they can do's gonna be as cool as what actually happened.
forcegalactic: (wow I'm offended)

Don't ruin it!

[He has this part spoiled for him thanks to Olivier, but he's not going to let that happen to the rest of the theatergoers. This is going to be to be awesome! There's going to be displays of light ans smoke, billowing capes to represent parachutes, there will be--

a musical number.

Yup, the actors have stumbled upon a collection of tubes welded together with lights to represent the motorcycles and paused the action to sing a song praising their bravery and that they will live for the people of Aqures Ixen.

Wow, yeah. Woulda hate to've ruined that, for sure.

[This is getting out of hand. It's either fall asleep in his seat, or find something else to do.]

I'm, um. I think I'm gonna go get some food at the Eighth District pavilions. Seein' as it's free 'n all. How 'bout you, Barkeep.
forcegalactic: (not the MurderMen)

[Musicals don't do much for Barkeep no more, and this is the first point in the play that he's even slightly uncomfortable about this. No one bursts into song out of nowhere while the enemy pauses their actions, unless there was magic or radiation involved. This is just weird.]

You do you. I'm gettin' my money's worth.

[Even if it means sitting through scenes like this. At least the tune is catchy.]
