Muse is restless

[littleshops]

I thought you said you didn't want to do one of these. But here we are again.

If you really struggle so much with what to do with me, maybe you should just send me to one of those game things. I won't complain! And you don't need to be intimidated by me, I'm not dangerous. Not to you, anyway.

What is it my successor said? Always waste time when you don't have any? You like him so much, so why don't you take his advice?

[ A Look. ]

Upsetting the balance you have with your current "roster"? You do realise you're talking to me about balance? Balance is rubbish, at least that sort of balance, won't work on me. But if you really are sure, then why don't you go and get those... musebox thread starters and throwing Eleven into that open log done with, and then we can go shop for memes. Come ooooon.

[ And, because of course he needs to get this little note in. ]

Oh, also? Digging that twelfth look I'm getting. At least I won't look twelve anymore. But still not ginger? Really?

Meme shopping? You better be tellin' me when you're off to do that so I can tag along.

Might... Not actually be your writer's fault about roster issues, though. It's the boss-types who have a final say in that. Not her fault. If that weren't the case, I'm pretty sure Code Name Legs would be joinin' me in half the places I've set up camp.

[littleshops]

[ He grins. ]

What else would it be for?

Boss-types? What boss-types?

[regem]

I did not realize our scribes took such accountability in balance.

[littleshops]

Neither did I! But that's what she said. Apparently she has an ideal amount of threads and stuff going on? Just the right amount of busy. That I suppose I can understand, I like keeping busy too.

[thatsmygirl]

Always waste time when you don't have any... Sounds like a pretty good sayin' t'me. I think I might just hafta borrow that sometime.

Oh my god I've always wanted interaction between the Doctor and Kaylee skjdghjsdfg

[littleshops]

It is a good saying, isn't it? He's not so bad sometimes, Eleven. But I guess I would agree, since I live by that myself.

[comeonthensexy]

Thank you! One of my best.

[mmiab]

Excuse you. Just because I haven't developed crows feet and a saggy jaw yet doesn't mean I look twelve.

[routemistress]

I 'ate to say it, lovey, but you kind of do from where I'm sitting. It's disconcerting, that's what.

[littleshops]

[ Oh, hi, you. ]

And still everyone says it! That or nine. I think when everyone says it, they've probably got a point.

[bebackbefore]

Games are scary, okay? I'm super glad my mun's never tried to toss me in one.

[littleshops]

I tend to like scary, so that's fine by me.

[missrosetyler]

Careful now about games sometimes where you end up isn't what you expected to be.

[littleshops]

I seem to recall that happening a lot to me.

[stayfluffy]

Balance isn't always rubbish!

What about....

Tightrope walkers! They need lotsa balance, and that actually looks fun too!

[Tiny robot girl is just gonna tilt her head, looking thoughtful.]

Ginger is red hair right? I think I gotta wig like that in the dress-up closet you can borrow if you wanna.

[littleshops]

No, yes, you're right, it's not. But her being worried about balance is. And thanks for the offer, but no thanks. More importantly, hello!

[ Don't mind him invading your personal space to have a look at you. ]

[spotsallthewaydown]

Why do I get the strangest feeling you could start coming across all dangerous and intimidating if you wanted to?

[littleshops]

[ Because he can. ]

Don't know. Are you a good judge of character?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Why do you care so much about being a redhead, anyway?

[littleshops]

[ Oh. You again. ]

Because! Have you looked at it? Red hair. Who wouldn't want that?

[faceofbeau]

You know, Doc, if it's a game you're looking for, I could make a couple suggestions. Your company is most certainly always welcome.

[littleshops]

Jack! Hello! I am, she's not really, but go ahead.

[sawtherainbow]

If you're trying to be reassuring, adding "not to you anyway" on to the end of a promise not to be dangerous isn't the most effective way to do it.

[Said with all the wry certainty of someone intimately familiar with not-especially-reassuring reassurances.

...granted, his tend to be of the "I'm not crazy I promise" variety, but not everybody's seen what he has.]

[littleshops]

But I mean it!

[ Because you can totally be completely sure of that just because he says it. ]

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

Doctor. Tell your mun they have you perfectly.

And, uh, sorry, again, about that whole...space station dance thing. That was a weird night for everybody.

[littleshops]

[ Salute. ]

Shall do.

[ And then he. Clears his throat, scratches the back of his head. Yeah, that. ]

Got that impression, yeah.
