001 [Video | Action]

[iwasherefirst]

[The young, blonde woman wearing the purple jacket ends up on the carousel instead of the fountain. She weaves her way through the animals, pausing to pick up the device on the ground. She fiddles with it, manages to get it to broadcast video and peers down at it.]

Well this is different, innit? Captain Mamgambo? I think we've had a bit of a glitch. [She takes a short breath, allowing herself for a moment to hope for something that makes her ache.]

Doctor? Couldn't get lucky enough to have you listening in, could I?

[Somehow he's not surprised she already knows.]

It's... Interesting, yeah. Sort of... new. Odd not having her anymore. I mean, she's still here, but it's not the same, obviously. Not the same humming or really anything at all. Hard to sleep without that.

It's sort of like that, what with that having been the sort of seity within the TARDIS, but not quite with the glowing.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[She stops, her voice going soft. There's a lot that she hasn't learned about the City yet.]

Is she dying?

[Not that the TARDIS seemed on the verge of dying.]

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope not. Why, what has she told you?

Although. She did say her body was already dead. To be honest I've really not got much frame of reference for it.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

No. Nothing she said or sounded like.

[Now she's contemplating Zombie!Human!TARDIS. It's a bit much.]

What's the domestic situation then? Without the TARDIS being home.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[He makes a face.] Domestic. Yeah, it's a bit.... Amy and Rory got themselves a flat and said I could stay with them for a bit. Jack and Mercy have been letting me stay for a few days, but it's not.... Right. I don't know.

[She can try the 'TARDIS is home, now home is the TARDIS, what is home now?' thing with his later.]

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[Thaaat's a lot of people she doesn't know with the exception of Jack.]

Jack's here? Captain Jack?

So you haven't got any place to stay?

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yeah, Captain not-really-a-captain Jack is here, yeah.

Well, I'm.. Staying with Mercy and Jack for a bit, although I didn't want to do that forever. Likewise with Amy and Rory. I suppose it'll be one of the apartments or something, I don't know.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Can't stay with other people forever. Maybe we ought to get a flat.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

...

2:2

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe... we ought to do that. Not a bad idea. Getting a flat. Together.

Re: 2:2

[The hesitation makes her worry, shifting her weight a bit. She's readying arguments in her head but before she voices them he agrees, which makes a huge smile break across her face.]

Yeah? Be almost like having a mortgage. [She nudges his foot with her toe when she says it.] Not so bad.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he definitely pulls a face when she says that.] Augh, no, that is... That is... Mortgages. [It's a good face. Sort of distaste and worry. But he smiles a little in spite of himself with the nudging.] Terrible. But. Better than-- Well, not so bad.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[All the grinning and nudging...they're ridiculous which brings her to oh yeah...the hugging. She flings her arms around his neck and hug time.]

Ought to go find one we can both live with then, yeah? [That's said muffled into his shoulder.]

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[They are ridiculous. But it's great. And the hugging! He stumbles a bit but then it's proper hugging all around, with the same twirling thing he did the... last time they met. Ish. He swings her back and forth a little, which made it slightly hard to hear her but it wasn't that difficult to work it out anyway.] Yeah. Yeah, I suppose we ought to.

...I guess being in a flat isn't really the same as being in a house?

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[She loves the swingy thing. It makes her do that gleeful, giant smile. She shakes her head a little, hesitant about letting go but flat hunting in this position isn't really practical so she releases him, her hands still on his shoulders, kind of sliding down his arms.]

Got more of a temporary feel to it. You could get up and leave without notice.

[Or something like that.]

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[He nods with her words, letting her hands slide down his arms and then slyly catching the one on his right arm in his right hand as it slides off. Hands!]

Yeah, okay. That doesn't sound that different to normal then, really. Get up and go when I-We feel like it. Wander about, not tell a soul. Just like always.

Except for where it's different. But really those are insignificant.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[Her fingers twine with his and she laughs a little]

Insignificant. Just you an' me again.

[Well not just. She doesn't know about Amy or Rory but she does know about the TARDIS and really it's the him and her part that's significant here.]

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[Ohhhh, fingers. Hands. No one else fits in his hands quite like she does. He marvels over the ability to have that feeling for a moment.]

Erm. In the flat. Yeah, just you and me. Really I don't think they're much bigger - not enough for more people by then.

[He's realising the introductions that need to take place later and already considering how to drag things out so they don't happen for another few weeks at least.]

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[She's in a strange City that she knows absolutely nothing about, no family, no place to stay and no way of knowing what happens next and yet with her fingers twined in his, she's home and that's all that matters.]

Ought to be able to find one with a couple of bedrooms and a bathroom easy enough. S'all the room we really need.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[It's not that he doesn't agree with her, just that going from so much space down to what feels like almost none is sort of daunting. At least when the TARDIS was here as a box he didn't feel quite as stuck, either.]

Shouldn't be too difficult. Particularly since I'm not sure there's a great many of them. Can't say as I've been paying attention to them though.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[It's different for her. She's spent most of her life land locked. She wouldn't blame him for feeling a bit locked in. She just hopes she can make it more bearable.]

We just pick a building and find one? You want to be high up or on the ground floor?

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[I wouldn't doubt she can. It may take him a couple of days to fully realise he already knows that. Also: Blink.] Which one's better?

Normally high up's for views but this is the City and the views are half likely to turn you colours, although ground floor would be consistently boring. Probably. Might flood, which would add a layer of interest.

Tagging on phone again so excuse the lack of HTML

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Lets have a go at the views that turn you colours. Least it won't be boring.

(She pauses in front of one of one of the buildings and tilts her head toward it.) give this one a shot? Looks nice enough.

no worriesss~

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Excellent point.

[He squints up at the top of it, attempting to consider variables in building-picking he both does and doesn't actually fully know of.]

Yeah, it doesn't look too bad. Nice and tallish.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Tallish. [She looks up at him with a smile. Clearly, tallish is a good thing. She leads the way.]

Wonder if there's a lift or just stairs. [Her tone is neutral but curious.]
