[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...

[oliverplus]

[laughs] Doctor!

Okay then. [gestures for her to go ahead] Ladies first.

[bit_impossible]

[grabs Ollie's hand] Nah, where's the fun in going first? We'll go together. [starts leading him down the hall towards the theatres.]

[oliverplus]

Okay! [hurries after--and then with--her to the theatres, grinning with excitement]

[bit_impossible]

[randomly stops] I think this one looks good, don't you? [points at one.]

[oliverplus]

Huh? Oh, yeah! Looks like a comedy. Let's go see it!

[bit_impossible]

Let's! [and begins to drag him towards the entrance!]

[oliverplus]

[no dragging necessary! he's excited, too]

[bit_impossible]

Ohh, I think we're still in the beginning of the film! [heads towards a seat in the back of the theatre.]

[oliverplus]

[follows him eagerly. it's nice to just have some fun, for once]

[bit_impossible]

[and the film plays! there is much laughter at the silly antics on screen~ finally, all too soon, the credits start to roll.] Well that wasn't so bad! Predictable, sure, but I had a good time, didn't you?

[oliverplus]

Yeah, definitely! Isn't it great just to relax like this? [leans back in his seat, finishing off his popcorn]

[bit_impossible]

[steals a bit of that popcorn before he does.] It is. Want to see another? Or is there something else you'd like to do?

[oliverplus]

Sure! Either. Both! Whatever. [jumps up, just barely remembering to grab the popcorn before he spills the last of it] Let's go!

[bit_impossible]

[giggles] My, aren't we excited? [slips a hand into his]

[oliverplus]

[gives her hand a squeeze, leading her away] Yeah! Aren't you?

[bit_impossible]

[playfully bumps into his shoulder] Of course I am! Spending some quality time with my best mate, who wouldn't?

[oliverplus]

Good point! Why haven't we done this more often?

[bit_impossible]

Oh, I don't know, lockdowns and barmy captains have a way of ruining some good old fun.

[oliverplus]

Oh yeah, guess so. Well, they shouldn't! There's too much we can do here to get bogged down with that sort of thing!

[bit_impossible]

[raises both hands in the air--and consequently one of Oliver's--and exclaims] Exactly! Now, where's our next non-bogged down destination?

[oliverplus]

Uh....oh, I know! Let's get some food!

[bit_impossible]

That sounds good to me!

[oliverplus]

[gives her hand a tug and heads briskly out of the theatre] So what do you feel like? Anything in particular?

[bit_impossible]

Anything but chips. I...I think I'm all chipped-out. How about some place new? Eleven months on this ship and I'm sure there's loads of restaurants we haven't tried!

[oliverplus]

Okay, something new it is! [leads her out toward the restaurants, scanning the row of them nearest the cinema] What about the one in the middle with the funky lighting? I haven't ever been there.
