canon: doctor who universe

(no subject)

You know, I'm not complaining or anything, but you really could have thought this one through a little better. You have less of a clue what the bloody hell is going on than I do. I know every mun needs to start somewhere but this is your first game and you're lost and I'm lost...

I suppose we can figure it out together but, honestly, at this point I'm running low on brilliance. I tried so hard with that bloody dimension canonn and it just got me stuck in some place that doesn't make sense.

You're not going to help me much.

And without the cannon...

He was right, wasn't he? I can't.

Okay. Wow. I sound like a right sod from Mum's favourite programs. Sorry for moping. It's gonna be okay, yeah? We'll figure it out. You and me. It's always better with two, I always say. And... Well. It is an adventure. New place. New things to see. We'll figure this out.

There better be a place that sells chips.

You can always try a sandbox first. Wayswithwords is a good one.

One is the loneliest number.

You know, I tried to think up a really witty reply to this, but all I can say is 'it's true'. And it's worse once you know what it's like to have people who are not just people but who are People.

Sandboxes. Brilliant.

But really, thanks for the suggestion. Might try that out. Cheers.

What's this about a dimensional cannon? Just what have you been doing?

[You'll have to forgive him. He's rather interested in hearing what she's up to.]

Oh, you know. The usual. Watching tellie. Eating beans on toast. Figuring out a way to save the universe by once again proving the whole 'the universe walls cannot be breached' is bollocks. It's a party.

[It's quite alright. SHE certainly doesn't mind, and she runs the show ;)]

Oh? I'm a little surprised. I don't know, I just thought you'd find those things terribly dull and boring.

[After traveling through time and space with him, he can't quite imagine her being content with watching the telly and eating beans on toast. But the whole saving the universe thing? That is something he can imagine.]

I'm sure it's a great party. Just don't get into too much trouble, all right?

[Translation: get into trouble, but be careful, and make sure to have backup.]

You don't always know everything.

... Okay, the telly is just for Mum. It's either that or shopping and I just... I'd rather silently play my own version of Cluedo with the characters.

Don't you dare laugh.

_{[She wants him to laugh, though - that is possibly when she likes him best. Ear-splitting grin and all. She's a little chuffed that she's done what he taught her. With a bit of Rose Tyler-esque thrown in, of course.]}

Trouble's just the bits in between! And it's what makes the party worth it. Nothing looks quite as good as it does when viewed at a run.

Like people people? Or people people people. Peopleception.

Peopleception! Exactly. Like... people who look the same as everybody else but have that little thing inside of them that make them worthy of capital letters. And sometimes punctuation.

Well everybody does. Unless they're clones...or undead.

Welcome, welcome.

If I did know everything, I should think I'd grow very bored very quickly.

I suppose you wouldn't much like shopping, although I wouldn't have thought you'd like... What was it you said? Oh, right. Board games.

But you know, I should remember that, because it's true. Nothing does look quite as good unless it's seen while running. I like that very much.

You get bored very quickly, anyway. And then burn it out of your system in the craziest way possible.

It's kind of... Okay. I look at the people on screen and all of them are dying but not dying and disappearing and each other's long-lost somethings and each episode I try to find the person most likely to be alien. And what type they'd be. I don't let myself use the Torchwood data base for identification help, so no cheating or nothing. So now you know.

Nah... I mean...

Gosh...

Okay, you know how... There will be people who to you - in your personal little universe that does center around you - are just sort of there. You smile at them and whatever but don't know much about them. Then there are People. To others they could just be the bloke down the road or whatever but to you they're... an entire constellation. A whole galaxy in your personal universe. Peoplepeople.

You mean people that you actually know? Like the Milkman and Greg from the floral department?

Well, yeah. And no. People you actually know. But if Greg was a People to you he'd probably be, like, Greg My Very Best Friend From The Floral Department.

And I think he might be? I mean, I've never met a bad Greg.

Hey neither have I. Greg's usually a great guy and always gives advice.

Too right, I would. But I don't know about crazy. [He ponders this for a second.]

Absolutely the height of fun, perhaps, but crazy? [He scratches his chin before nodding a few times.]

No, you're right, it is crazy, and I don't think I'd have it any other way. [But then he's back to smiling at her.]

Yes, now I know. So tell me, what's your success rate like? I'm betting on one hundred percent, if I know you at all.

Bless the Gregs.

[She grins at him. Mostly incredulous but also very much amused.]

The very, very height of fun, Doctor. But absolutely balmy. But... You're right. Any other way would just be... Wrong.

I'm very proud to say that if any characters from seven of Britain's top soap operas were aliens intent on invading Earth I'd be able to detect their type and the best way to stop them in under twenty minutes. There are only one or two I... mis-diagnosed.

[Her grin turns smaller] My success rate at actually saving the world, though, is... Well...

Bless all of da Gregs from Floral.

What do you get a guy from floral to say thanks? 'Cause getting 'em flowers is just...

Edited 2014-01-25 14:51 (UTC)

From me? A card and maybe a game. From you? A date and kiss.

A game? What sort? Ha. I doubt Greg from Floral will be the sort of person to date me. Besides, my name's Rose. I'd be giving him a flower anyway. Sorta.

Plants vs. zombies, obviously.

You never know, he may even find the name charming.
