[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...

'Course he would be! Anybody would be.

Which Nik, anyway?

[bit_impossible]

Tesla, of course, you silly thing.

[oliverplus]

Oh. Well, how was I to know his first name?

You really sound like a woman right now, you know that, Doctor?

[bit_impossible]

You mentioned Tesla before, so I thought--am I? [mumbles] Must be more effects from the flowers...

[oliverplus]

Don't go forgetting you're really a bloke, now!

[bit_impossible]

[rolls his eyes] Oh Oliver, you don't have to tell me that.

[oliverplus]

[grins] You're starting to sound like I do! [sorry, Doctor, he really can't hide his amusement right now]

[bit_impossible]

[grumbles and huffs] It's the flowers, Oliver Day! At least I haven't completely forgotten myself.

[grabs a menu and flicks it open, holding it in front of his face]

[oliverplus]

Yeah, but you might at this rate! [he wouldn't have added that if it weren't for the pollen's influence. really]

[chuckles to himself and picks up his own menu, hissing as he receives a minor shock as the remainder of the electricity in his hand discharges]

[bit_impossible]

[tilts that menu away from so he could give Oliver a look.] You can kindly shut it. [smiles and then puts the menu back up]

[oliverplus]

What, did I touch a nerve? I can only tease so much about this, you know. It's not like I don't remember being Olivia, and I'm surprised you haven't tried to tease me back yet.

[bit_impossible]

[softly] Didn't it ever cross your mind that I won't want to tease you about that?

[oliverplus]

Well... [pauses] No. I hadn't thought about that.

Should I not be teasing you, either? Only I was just having a bit of fun. I didn't mean to upset you.

[bit_impossible]

[reaches across the table to pat Oliver's cheek] All's forgiven, my dear Ollie. If you want to tease, you can. [grins] I shouldn't have taken it so hard.

[oliverplus]

[raises an eyebrow at him] You're acting like a mother now.

[bit_impossible]

Oh? I can slap you, if you'd like.

[oliverplus]

What would I want you to do that for?

[bit_impossible]

Well, you mentioned me acting like a mother, so I thought slapping came with the territory. [of course, he's being completely facetious, but his current track record with mothers isn't all that hot.]

[oliverplus]

[blinks at him, confused for a moment, then bursts out laughing] Doctor! You can't seriously thinking slapping people is part of being a mum!

[bit_impossible]

[just grins cryptically] I've never been a mother, Ollie, so I can't say.

[oliverplus]

Come on, you know how mums work! You've seen everything else in the universe.

[bit_impossible]

[giggles] Yes, yes, I do. I'm only teasing you!

[oliverplus]

See, I knew you'd tease me somehow!

[bit_impossible]

Naturally! Now, what do you think looks best? [taps a finger on the menu]

[oliverplus]

[shrugs] I don't know what most of it is! It all looks like a chance for an adventure to me.
