[a frustrated sigh is the first thing to broadcast over the Sphere, followed by the appearance of a tall, skinny woman with long, dark hair who appears to be wearing a suit exactly like the Doctor's brown pinstripe suit. unfortunately, the Sphere's only showing her from behind and there really isn't much to see as she doesn't have much of a figure. she doesn't seem to notice that her trousers are a little tight around her hips--the only thing, really, that is snug--but otherwise, they're cut to length. the only things that are ill-fitting are the suit-coat, which is too baggy around her shoulders, and the button-up shirt and other ones layered underneath.]

[grumbling under her breath, she runs an impatient hand through her hair.] Damn glasses, they used to stay on my face...

[finally, the Sphere swings around to show her fast at work in the security station, her expression severe and focused completely on the task at hand. until she suddenly smacks a hand on the desk and slumps into a chair there. she tears the glasses from her face and tucks them away into an inside pocket of her suit.]

Blimey, what the hell did he do?! I've tried everything and I still can't figure it out. There has to be something I'm missing...

[Ammy sits up and sniffs at the drink before shifting and getting comfortable again.]

Flare?

[bit_impossible]

Yes! Basically--[removes the umbrella and all the fruit stuck to the glass and the plastic sword and holds it up]--all this!

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. [She cocked her head, her ears flicking forward in curiosity. It smelled pretty good, although a little like sake. It must have been alcoholic, but Ammy was certain a little wouldn't bother her too much. She ate the fruit off the plastic sword, then turned it over in her hands as she inspected it.]

Why do they call it that?

[bit_impossible]

Well, they actually call it garnish and garbage, but I think 'flare' has a better ring to it, don't you?

Go on! Give it a try! There's a drink called "Drink of the Gods". Thought it quite fitting for you.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She nods, her tail wagging.]

Drink of the Gods?

[bit_impossible]

Yep! That's the name of the drink. Ah, let me see if I remember correctly... It should be vodka, blueberry schnapps, and pineapple juice. There's other variations of it, I'm sure. Go on! Give it a try!

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm, thank you for the meal. [She smiled, raising the glass to her lips before drinking. Ah~! It was good.... Ammy's tail started wagging excitedly, her ears perking forward.]

[bit_impossible]

[takes a drink of his own drink--banana daiquiri, of course--and smiles at the goddess] Like that, huh? Now go on, have the fruit off the little sword! [eats the cherries and orange slice skewered on the bright neon plastic sword]

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm! It is different, but not bad at all. [And the fresh fruit was nice, too.]

[bit_impossible]

I'm glad you liked it! [triumphantly holds up sword] But see? This is what I was talking about! Though...looking at it now, would it be a little on the big side for your Envoy?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[She sniffs, then peers at the little sword in question.]

Mm, it is a bit big. But Issun is stronger than he looks, so it would only be a little awkward for him.

[bit_impossible]

Well, assuming the same principles that allow an ant to carry so much can be applied to Issun, I can certainly see him having no problem doing so.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

You make things sound so confusing sometimes.

[bit_impossible]

[blinks at her] Do I? I don't mean to...

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[She laughs softly, her tail wagging.]

It's alright.

[bit_impossible]

I thought I've been pretty good about that, actually. Well, I don't really notice that I have and haven't, but if you ever want me to explain something differently, just ask!

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm, I do not think it helps when I do not understand the words you use.

[bit_impossible]

[smiles apologetically] Well, there is that too. We have quite the technological barrier between us.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She nods, tail wagging.] I'm sure you make much more sense to the others.

[bit_impossible]

Well, sometimes not even then... {sighs softly] That's the trouble of being a genius.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm, it must be hard. [She grinned, her tail wagging more.]

[bit_impossible]

[shrugs and smiles] You get used to it.

Here! Want to try mine? [holds the banana daiquiri out to her]

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you do. [Fuu fuu.]

Mm! May I? [Her ears flick forward.]

[bit_impossible]

Of course! [hands it over]

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[She takes a sip, making a surprised sound as her tail wagged. Licking her lips, she hands it back to the Doctor.]

That was rather good!
