Hamilton thread!
Since there are so many Hamilfans on the CB, I thought this would be fun! We can talk about Hamilton, sing songs, guess each other (Please put your name as someone from Hamilton of your actual gender), and whatever else we want.
To start off the discussion, I have a couple questions. Which part (one or two) do you like better and why? Which is your favorite song? Also, has anyone actually seen it?
Here are my answers: I like part one because everyone starts hating Alexander Hamilton in part two. My favorite song is The Schuyler Sisters. I have not seen it.
If someone comes up with a good idea, and if anyone is interested, we could do a Hamilton RP.

Why do you always say what you believe?
Why do you always say what you believe?
Every proclomation guaranteed
Free ammunition for your enemies.
Aa--
Why do you write like it's going out of style?
Write day and night like it's going out of style?
Every day you fight like it's going out of style.
Do what you do and
*knock knock knock*
Alexander?
Aaron Burr, sir!
Well, it's the middle of the night.
Can we confer, sir?
Is this a legal matter?
Yes, and it's important to me.
What do you need?
Burr, you're a better lawyer than me.
Okay.
I know I talk too much, I'm abraisive,
You're incredible in court.
You're succinct, persuasive.
My client needs a strong defense. You're the solution.
Who's your client?
The new U.S. Constitution.
NO.
Hear me out!
No way.
A series of essays, anonymously published, defending the document of the public.
No one will read it.
I disagree.
And if it fails?
Burr, that's why we need it!
The Constitution's a mess.
So it needs amendments.
It's full of contradictions.
So is independence!
We have to start somewhere.
No. No way!
You're making a mistake.
Good NIGHT.
Hey!
What are you waiting for? What do you stall for?
What?
We won the war, what was it all for?
Do you support this constitution?
Of course.
Then defend it.
And what if you're backing the wrong horse?
Burr. We studiesd, and we fought, and we killed,
For the notion of a nation we now get to build!
For once in your life, take a stand with pride.
I don't understand how you stand to the side!
I'll keep all my plans close to my chest. (Wait for it, wait for it)
I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow.
I'm taking my time, watching the afterbirth of a nation,
Watching the tension grow.
I am sailing off to London.
I am accompanied by someone who always pays.
I have found a wealthy husband,
Who will keep me in comfort for all my days.
He is not a lotta fun, but there's no one
Who can match you for turn of phrase.
My Alexander... (Angelica...)
Don't forget to write.
Look at where you are.
Look at where you started.
The fact that you're alive is a miracle.
Just stay alive. That would be enough!
And if your wife could share a fraction of your time,
If I could grant you peace of mind,
Would that be enough?
Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a seried of essays defending the new United States Constitution entitled The Federalist Papers.
The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays with the work divided evenly among the three men.
In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays over the span of six months.
John Jay got sick after writing five.
James Madison wrote twenty-nine.
Hamilton wrote
The other fifty-one!
How do you write like you're running out of time?!
Write day and night like you're running out of time?!
Every day you fight like you're running out of time,
Are you running out of time?
Are you running out of time?
How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?!
How do you write like you need it to survive?!
How do you write every second you're alive,
Every second you're alive,
Every second you're alive?!
They're asking me to lead.
I'm doing the best I can
To get the people that I need.
I'm asking you to be my right-hand man.
Treasury or State?
I know it's a lot to ask.
Treasury or State?
To leave behind the world you know.
Sir, do you want me to write the Treasury or State Department?
...Treasury.
Let's go. ;)

Alexander.
I have to leave.
Alexander!
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
Helpless...
They are asking me to lead.
Look around! Isn't this enough?
He will never be satisfied. (what would be enough?)
Satisfied. (to be satisfied?)
Satisfied!
Satisfied! (History has its eyes on you!) (Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?)
(Non stop!) (He will never be satisfied.) (Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?)
Look around! Isn't this enough? (Non stop!)
What would be enough? (He will never be satisfied.)
History has its eyes on you... (Why do you write like you're running out of time?
He will never be satisfied.
Why do you write like--
History has its eyes on you?!
I am not throwing away my shot! (Just you wait)
I am not throwing away my shot! (Just you wait)
I am--
Alexander Hamilton!
Hamilton!
Just you wa-a-ait!
I am not throwing away my shot!

Do any of you know about *drumroll* THE SECRET SONGS?
Alexander
Congradulations
You have invented a new kinda stupid
A damage-you-can-never-undo kinda stupid
A let-out-all-the-cages-at-the-zoo kinda stupid
You didn't this one through? Kinda stupid
(March 28, 2018 - 10:41 am)
Let's review.
You took a rumor a few, maybe two people knew, and refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you.
I begged you to take a break, you refused to.
(March 28, 2018 - 1:48 pm)
Ah, those ones. I don't know those so well. Congratulations is a little harsh, sad and maybe OOC, and the one about Laurens is both really sad and kind of odd; if we get to follow up on him, why not anyone else? I imagine that's why they were cut.
(March 29, 2018 - 8:45 am)
So scared of what your enemies will do to you,
You're the only enemy you ever seen to lose to!
You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?
He doesn't signify schoolyard taunts with a response!
(March 28, 2018 - 8:22 pm)
So yeah.
Congratulations.
You've re-defined your legacy.
Congratulations
It was an act of political sacrifice!
Sacrifice?
I languished in a lovless marrige in London
I lived only to read your letters
(March 29, 2018 - 5:51 pm)
I look at you and think
god, what have we done with our lives and what did it get us?
And that doesn't wipe the tears of the years away
But I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay
And I know what I'm here to do.
Angelica --
I'm not here for you
(March 30, 2018 - 11:00 am)
I know my sister like I know my mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind-
Elizaaa
Is the best thing in our lives,
So never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife!
