What do you mean "how could I not have expected it?" Despite my endless charms, she is, of course, Mary Shelley, even if at the current moment she is actually Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. She must get married to Percy, if not for history, then at least for the snappier name. Besides, you've heard - she never shuts up about him.

... I haven't been flirting. Blimey, you humans, you read into everything, don't you.

Anyway, it was only the one time.

Comments

[sharp]

You really get about, don't you?

[perfect_shoes]

[ somewhat confused. ] Well... yes, that is one of the aspects of having a TARDIS.

[sharp]

No, I mean-- [ she purses her lips. well, that sort of went over his head. she's not surprised if he's really the doctor. ] Nevermind. Right, so, what was only one time, then?

[perfect_shoes]

... It may have happened slightly more than once.

[comeonthensexy]

They really do read into everything, don't they? You'd think I'd get used to it.

[perfect_shoes]

Humans. So unpredictable, you just don't know what's going to come out of their mouth next. One of their more delightful and frustrating qualities.

[comeonthensexy]

They're just one big bundle of delight and frustration. Guess it'd be boring otherwise.

[perfect_shoes]

And there's nothing worse than being boring.

[comeonthensexy]

[Pause.]

No, there isn't, is there?

[perfect_shoes]

Not that I've ever met anyone who suffers such affliction, mind you, though plenty suffer from being bored.

[comeonthensexy]

Only marginally better than being boring. Poor, poor souls. I remember being bored. Never again.

[perfect_shoes]

And thus we exist, to escape boredom and alleviate it from others. Not a bad life, if I do say so myself.

And I have.

[comeonthensexy]

Right you are. Couldn't have said it better myself. But, wait-- I have. Technically.

[first_in_time]

'The one time'? Ian told me about your Aztec engagement.

I wonder how many other women have been enchanted by you over the years?

[perfect_shoes]

Yes, well, it's not my fault my charms aren't to be contained.

[romana2]

The problem with humans is they do not understand Time Lords at all.

[There's a faint smile.]

Hello, Doctor, it would appear you have had another adventure on Earth.

[Statement, Romana knows the Doctor too well. This time she didn't even sneer at the mention of the primitive planet.]

[perfect_shoes]

Another, Romana? Several! Many! In the dozens.

[romana2]

[Romana nods. The Doctor belongs with her on Gallifrey. And that, more than Time Lord superiority leads to her comment.]

Very well, but must you sound... So pleased about it?

[perfect_shoes]

Is there something not to be pleased about? It's quite a nice little planet, though I know we could have had nicer visits.

[romana2]

[She looks innocent.]

I quite liked Paris - it was a bouquet.

[She offers a small smile.]

[perfect_shoes]

A bouquet of fun, culture, and Jagaroths trying to rewrite the Earth before supper. Those were the days, eh, Romana?

[romana2]

Still are the days... When I'm from anyway.

[Gallifrey is having issues.]

[perfect_shoes]

Keeps the mind active.

[romana2]

[Romana chuckles softly.]

Yes, I suppose you could say that.

[perfect_shoes]

Though a good jigsaw puzzle doesn't go amiss either. Don't remember the last time I sat down with a good jigsaw puzzle. I'll make that my next priority.

[romana2]

You could...

[Make your next priority returning to Gallifrey.]

...do that. Though I doubt it's as much fun without K-9

[perfect_shoes]

It's no fun with K-9. He doesn't give it any element of difficulty, even if a fake one. And I'm not just saying that because of the last time he beat me at checkers. And chess. And Monopoly.

[romana2]

[Romana chuckles softly. She's forgotten how to giggle due to recent events.]

Well, he was of great help to me.

[At least until he wasn't.]

I don't know that I ever thanked you properly for such a splendid parting gift.

[ambitious_woman]

Flirting?

You are quite correct, sir. There is no possibly way it might have been you.

[perfect_shoes]

If that's sarcasm, I'll have you know I don't appreciate it.

[ambitious_woman]

But you do appreciate Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin

[perfect_shoes]

Yes, well, of course. Mother of horror and science fiction; hard not to appreciate Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin.

[ambitious_woman]

And that is all you appreciate then? Her stories?

[perfect_shoes]

Wheh-... ah, I mean, her stories aren't all there is to be appreciated, though that should hardly be a surprise.

[ ... ]

[ .... ]

[ ..... ]

You're getting at something, aren't you.

[ambitious_woman]

Which would only imply that there is indeed something to -- get, as you stated so eloquently.

eeeeeeee Eighth Doctor eeeeee audiocanon

[beganwitha_d]

My mun is very pleased to see you, for some reason. This version of you, she said.
