nowthatsashowface replied to your post: As our production draws to a close, I have a few things to say:
I would make a similar statement but you’re the only one I know who cares about quality theater. Lima doesn’t deserve us.
Maybe we can foster a greater appreciation for the arts by continuing to expose them to our talent.
As our production draws to a close, I have a few...
First off, I am honored to have been your lead for this period of time and to display my talents to the entirety of Lima. It was a long, hard road getting there, but I’m confident that all of our effort paid off tremendously. If you simply cannot get enough of my acting prowess—or, if, like some people, you never made it to Oklahoma! in the first place—have no fear, because come...

Another weekend of performances is over.

Really? I mean, yeah, that would be okay. It’s not like I have anything better to do, most of the time.
Excellent. I’m sure things will go perfectly with two people on the job as opposed to one.

Not irrelevant. We still gave Lima theatergoers an unforgettable experience. But it will be strange not to have somewhere to go most nights.
I mean…you’re welcome to accompany me on my patrols once my schedule goes back to something a little bit more normal. I should be out and about during what would have been rehearsal time.

We’re officially two-thirds of the way through the run. I’m going to miss it.
It is strange to think that all of our hard work is going to be irrelevant so soon…

Who said either of us were young? When you get to be this old none of that matters.
All I said was that it isn’t an unreasonable conclusion. I accept that it wasn’t a correct conclusion, what more are you looking for?

To who exactly?
Two…unrelated young people of the opposite sex living in close quarters undeniably inspires a certain image, okay?

Yeah, of course not.
I’m still here should you wish to be friendly again. But I’m not going to sit back and let you berate me.

You’re not a homewrecker, if that’s what you’re afraid of.
Things never end well for the homewrecker, I know that. It’s my career and reputation that would be destroyed and stigmatized as a result. I’m just covering my bases.

Dead isn’t my type, small obnoxious one.
I don’t know that, it was a logical conclusion.

Rach, I know sometimes you have a tendency to just… talk… but do you listen?
To yourself?
I do, and I don’t see the point of this.

Uh huh. Right.
What if I was dating a vampire that you knew and that you hated?
It would depend entirely on why I hated that vampire so deeply and so personally and out of seemingly nowhere.

Were you jealous, Slayer? Over me?
No. I just don’t want to be the…the other woman! I meant it when I told you that I’m not a trollop.

winlikefinn:
If I was dating a vampire, what would you say?
First off, Jesse and I are not dating, so that comparison is irrelevant. And I’m sure that I would take the time to gather all of the pertinent information regarding the situation before I came to a conclusion.

I… didn’t mean to alarm you. Her desirability as a roommate has more to do with the fact that she’s a former demon than a woman. I like living with my own kind, or as close as I can get to it.
…Oh! I mean, that makes sense, of course it does, I was just…jumping to conclusions, clearly. Like I said, stupid.

I’m not killing you. And it’s not just that he could kill you, but it’s that he just doesn’t care. He’s not currently going after anyone you care about but he wouldn’t care if he did. It just doesn’t suit him right now. And that he’s soulless and a jerk. If you wanted to date one of the hockey pricks I wouldn’t approve of that either.
I know you’re… strong. You could take him....
1 tag
nowthatsashowface:
Oh. Is there anything I can do…?
I simply…didn’t realize that you’re currently living with another woman. And I recognize that you don’t owe me anything and that this is a highly casual thing and all that, I just…find the circumstances in their entirety a little alarming, I suppose.

winlikefinn:
Sure… go hang with him.
I want to “hang” with you, too. I don’t understand. If the entire point of this is that you’re angry with me because he could potentially kill me, thereby removing me from your life, aren’t you achieving the exact same thing by shunning me for spending time with him?

winlikefinn:
And yet I don’t have a history of murder and soulessness.
Maybe I should get on that.
Is this ever going to stop?

First him and now you? You humans are surprisingly volatile creatures. Or is it because you’re teenagers?
It has nothing to do with my age, thank you very much. It’s…it’s stupid. Just…nevermind.

winlikefinn:
No, that’s okay. He’s just proving my point.
You’re coming off as every bit as petty and small-minded, if it makes you feel better.

Mhm.
If you have something to say, I’d rather you go ahead and just say it.

He doesn’t intimidate me. Why would a two hundred year old vampire be intimidated by a whiny human boy?
I am attempting to defend you right now, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t undermine those efforts. Go…go hang out with Santana or something.

winlikefinn:
… I can’t support this.
Even if he wasn’t… dead… he’s a complete jerk.
He’s capable of being very kind when you get to know him. I think you two just intimidate one another too much. I’m sure that if you tried, you could find plenty that you have in common!

I don’t know what I’m doing.
You can accept it and be supportive of me and my choices!

No.
I’m not going to kill Jesse. Are you really…going to stop being my friend because of this?

Really?
Really…?
Really!

Pretty sure you can’t help when you’re part of the problem.
Unless you decided it’s open season on arrogant bloodsuckers again.
I don’t understand why you’re so…fixated on Jesse. It’s not like I don’t kill plenty of other vampires every single day. I should think that my karmic balance more than evens out.

Next I’m gonna find out that Quinn is actually Jesse’s long lost niece and Brittany is a squid monster.
No, everything is not okay.
Brittany’s a very good dancer. I don’t know if that adds or detracts from the whole squid hypothesis.
Then will you talk to me? I’d like to help. Please.

winlikefinn:
Absolutely. Never better.
Clearly you have been better, if you’re entertaining notions of drowning yourself…unless this is something that happens often, in which case I really think you should be talking to somebody about these feelings you’re having.

Let’s face it, anything would have been an improvement over those two. But thank you. Break a leg tonight.
You as well.

Roommates, actually. We share the house now. She’s very blunt, even more so than you are. I like it.
Oh…well…that’s nice, then. I’m glad you’ve found an improvement.

Oh, you didn’t know? I thought you would, being the Slayer and all.
Vampire slayer. She attends school with me, thereby ruling out that possibility…but something did seem strange. I wasn’t aware that you two are…friends.

Someone who was smart enough to take me up on my very attractive offer. Santana Lopez.
Ex-demon, did you say? Interesting…

Don’t those kinds of stories usually end in tragedy?
I find that the exceptions to the rule are always the most impressive regardless.

I can understand that. After all, the ingenue who accepts his way of life and wants to join it isn’t a very realistic fantasy, either.
…It isn’t. But I think I prefer the grandeur of star-crossed lovers, anyway. Each their own people but united all the same.

He’s ridiculous and incredibly unrealistic. No vampire could resist a human girl who keeps offering herself to him to be eaten and turned. We’re bloodsuckers, not saints.
Trust me, I am more than aware of that. You don’t see me begging to get turned. But he is a very fetching fantasy all the same.

I endured Twilight. The first one, I didn’t make the mistake of going to see the rest of them. I am however eternally grateful to Stephenie Meyer for making young girls think of vampires as romantic and noble. It made feeding so much easier.
Ohhh, but they don’t even really get good until New Moon! Bella’s heartbreak is so poignant and affecting. And...

Like I was going to go and not see a movie about vampires. However ridiculous and inaccurate it was.
Did you see Twilight?? I enjoyed the series quite a bit before I met Mr. Schuester and was disabused of a few notions…

And I used my new-found knowledge of the Lima sewer system to go see a movie. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, to be precise.
I think I love humans. They didn’t get a single thing right about vampires or history, but we looked pretty awesome anyway.

Jesse: Definitely, and I'll get a hug as well.
Rachel: It's a deal!

Jesse: Fine. I won't directly insult him to his face. Probably. But it's not my fault if us spending time together makes him mad.
Jesse: You'll have to kiss me on Friday, regardless. We have a performance.
Rachel: If you can turn that "probably" into a "definitely," I'll kiss you much earlier than Friday. ;)

Jesse: I already said I won't kill him. That's peaceful.
Jesse: Good, I rather think I deserve one.
Rachel: This isn't a warzone, you can do better than that.
Rachel: I said maybe.

Jesse: Rachel, come on. You can't expect me to like the guy who threatens me any time I speak to you where he can see it. He accused me of getting close to you so I can eat you. Or so I can dominate Lima's community theaters, he wasn't sure which.
Jesse: Do I get a reward for trying?
Rachel: I don't need you to /like/ him. I just need you two to peacefully coexist, as you are both parts of my life now. I just don't want this to become a /thing./
Rachel: Maybe.

Jesse: Don't kid yourself, it's always been about that. That's what these testosterone-fueled rivalries are always about. But I won.
Rachel: It sounds like you and your testosterone tried very hard to make this work. I appreciate that a lot, since my decision to...spend time with you is creating a massive rift between me and one of my best friends, a rift I may never repair.
Rachel: So thank you. I'm very proud of you for seeing what's important here.

Jesse: So, that didn't work. Your childish friend would rather make out with vegetation than do anything with me. Which is funny, because that's the only way he's going to get any action at this point.
Rachel: You don't have to make it about...that. But I suppose I'm not surprised. Thanks for trying, I guess.
