on trying to choose a daemon for distantskies

[theprettyone]

Sorry, but "a bird with a funny bill" isn't exactly what I'd choose for myself.

It aptly fits.

[pillars]

Seems about right.

[angelofhope]

Well hey, a bird isn't too bad. Better than something aquatic, right?

[raggedydoc]

Could be worse, d'you know how many species of animals there are with funny noses?

Not that...you have a funny nose or anything. Certainly not.

[theprettyone]

[Oh god you're that Amy. play it calm]

You wouldn't pick something slightly ... cooler?

[ok no why is he even asking that]

[theprettyone]

[Yes, Doctor. He knows.]

Never say it "could be worse" because inevitably things will get worse. It's nearly as dangerous as saying things couldn't be worse.

[theprettyone]

It's not that it's a bird that bothers me, exactly.

[aquatic things can have big noses too you know.]

[Your username is inaccurate.]

And whyever not?

[theprettyone]

[wow rude]

And who are you?

[pillars]

I'm the guy who's going to help you see all of this with the glass half full, obviously.

[raggedydoc]

I prefer to think of it as things getting interesting.

MOAR TAGS FOR YOU.

[slewthetyrant]

Yeah, try ending up with a daemon with strange features that you don't have. It's a bit troubling.

OKAY I'M DONE NOW REALLY I should go do real tags or something

[abitfairytale]

[Amy covers her mouth with her hand to try to hide her amused smile, and possibly a bit of laughter.] What would you choose, then?

[theprettyone]

[the TARDIS begs to differ]

Because when someone literally rips your soul from your body and puts it in animal form, you really don't want them saying, "Here, you're a stupid-looking bird."

GOOD I WANT ALL THE TAGS

[theprettyone]

Such as?

[because if you just mean fur and a tail HE IS NOT IMPRESSED.

and are you implying he actually does have a funny nose]

[comeonthensexy]

[Well the TARDIS is wrong.

And, oh, Rory, that just got his attention look what you did.]

They rip your soul from your body and-- Blimey! Really? Is this going to become a thing in all the worlds out there now?

I SHOULD TOO but fake tags are fun

[theprettyone]

[Gosh, Amy, thanks. Really.]

I don't know. Something a bit cool, not a bird.

[Okay, fine. He'll say it. It might get him laughed at but he'll say it:]

A wolf, maybe.

[theprettyone]

Terrific work so far. Any other bits of advice?

[theprettyone]

To be fair, with you "worse" and "interesting" are generally synonymous.

[theprettyone]

[the TARDIS can't be wrong!

and sorry doctor it just happens :(]

Er, I hope not, but it's a thing in this one specific world at least. I'm not really clear on all the details yet.

[pause]

Wait a minute. Is this a place you've never heard of? I'm actually introducing an alien concept to you?

[comeonthensexy]

[Sure she can!]

There are plenty of places I haven't heard of, Rory. I can't know everything, only nearly everything. The whole... soul-moving thing isn't new, but putting them into an animal...

They do that to everyone?

[pillars]

Name it something inspiring. Like. I don't know. Shadowfax.

[angelofhope]

Ah... I see she likes a theme.

You have a very nice nose, if I might say so.

[slewthetyrant]

My daemon has some oversized ears. Not, like, elephant-sized ears or anything, but they're still pretty big. Really gave me a moment of paranoia there.

[Martha would never imply that her future nursebro has a funny nose! That would be totally unbrolike of her.]

[defiedforaboy]

I would pick something cooler, but I think it suits you fine.
