curse

015 [Action | Video]

[Rose is sitting on the floor in her flat, taking down a Lego wall. Her hair is in pigtails because it seemed appropriate for the curse today. All around her the flat seems to be made of legos--except for the hammock bed, even the City wouldn't mess with the hammock bed.]

How's the rest of the City lookin' 'cause my flat is brilliant. Was just talkin' to the Doctor the other day 'bout planets made of Legos. This is almost as fantastic.

[ooc: When the poll for comm or Hybrid wraps up, I'll link this in the community or whatever is appropriate.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hard to get up to that sort of speed inside a flat. Got to change direction too often. [He's sort of having a hard time just making walls and floors and all that flat stuff so he's putting patterns in to amuse himself.]

Maybe a really long hallway? [She's pretty content to just lay out the legos to make the balcony, edging closer to the edge of it every time and just sort of betting on 'it's a curse, it'll hold'.]

Either way, probably ought not to try it Your head's shaped nicely the way it is.

Really long hallway, rrreally good traction. Or rocket boots. Those are really hard to fly though; hard to lead with your head when it's the feet doing the driving. [Yeah, he's been watching for any sort of structural issues, but is having a decent amount of faith in the curse-holding aspect as well.]

Enthusiastically agreed. And thank you. I've grown quite used to it being in this shape now.

Rocket boots? [She looks over her shoulder at him.] Never catch you then. I'd have to get my own rocket boots.

[And that'd be a disaster]

Oh, you'd catch me when I flew into the doorway and knocked myself out. You need to be outside for rocket boots. Preferably near a field. Or the ocean, that would be better.

[She claps her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing at the image.] M'sorry just the whole image is...you ever watch the Wylie E Coyote cartoons with the road runner? Best stay 'way from rocket boots.

What's that? A wily coyote and a roadrunner is a ridiculous pair. Although agreed about the boots.

Well just with the way he's always usin' things like anvils and rockets and the like, then endin' up hurtin' himself. Runnin' into a door frame with rocket boots is somethin' he'd do.

[She's got a bulk of the balcony floor laid now and is out there on it now, finishing up the edge of it and starting the rail.]

Likely to take out the frame entirely. Good chunk of the wall as well. I don't think it's worth going that fast inside. Bikes are better. Or big robots.

[He's still working on the flooring a bit. Owing to distraction, although that chunk thing he put on earlier was railing. Sort of going out and up at the same time.]

We ought to get bikes. Could go ridin' 'round the City.

[And then a grin.]

'Less you're goin' to build us big robots to walk 'round in.

[She doesn't really expect him to build it in chronological order.]

I'm not really a big fan of walking around in big robots. Better to see things with your own eyes, feel that breeze through your hair, touch things properly! [And they're too much like Cybermen. But also legitimately with the tactile.] Bikes aren't bad though. Have to go coatless though. It's amazing how it's a universal constant, getting things stuck in a bicycle chain.

[Good point.]

Maybe we ought to stick to just runnin'. Works better with the coat.

Yes, and the coat is very important. Helps with the being impressive. Not that I need that, obviously. And it's warm.

Bit like a super hero's cape.

[Oh he's not going to take that as an extreme personal compliment at all, regardless of how much or little he may regard himself as a superhero. He's suddenly all the puffed up.] Exactly! It's not really there to do anything except look cool! Except for being warm and having great big pockets, just like a cape!

[Well she did mean to puff up his ego a bit with that one so she's pleased to see it had the desired effect.]

Sorta gives you that billowy saviour sorta look.

Saviour? Yeah? Billowy's fun too. I don't mind that description.

[He's got his corner all squared up and is getting the rail around towards her now.]

Well you saved me a time or two. Coupla other people as I remember it.

[She's sort of working from the middle to the other corner. Ought to work out fairly well.]

That makes me a saver. You've got to do something better to earn the IOU.

Hmmm somethin' like...save the universe a dozen times or so?

Might do it. Not from every perspective but the majority of people tend to agree with the universe's continued existence.

Think maaaaaaaaybe you qualify for the IOU then. If there's a question, think I can sway the vote for you.

[She's near the corner on her end of things.]

That'd be great. You can be my character reference in case my character's ever called into question in court. Again.

Just put me on your resume. Character reference, job reference, emergency contact, allthose sorts of things.

[He makes a face.] Rose, promise me I won't ever have to make a resume. I don't think there's enough paper to actually finish it.

[He's starting to get his bit of the floor to match up with hers in the middle.]

I have noooooo clue if they have road runner cartoons in England

I'd assume they've seen them somehow maybe? or a variant thereof

Works for me! It's an old enough cartoon it's gotten around

idk that he's ever sat down to watch it though

Very possibly not

working out what bits of pop culture work is always confusing too

Yeah I can imagine
