[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...

Fortunately for you, the TARDIS isn't with me. Besides, she's not my girlfriend and she'd say that to, well, everyone.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right.

She's more like your wife.

[bit_impossible]

[sighs fondly] We do have an unbreakable bond... But not one that's formed from a verbal pledge that humans seem to break so easily.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

You know the "wife" part is a figure of speech, right? She's so selfish when it comes to you she wouldn't let anyone else in, even as a joke. I know when I back off.

[bit_impossible]

You've antagonised her several times in the past, I take it? You're lucky we weren't travelling inside her. She'd chuck you out in the middle of the time vortex without another thought.

Well, that's if she let you inside in the first place. Kind of doubt she would. No offence.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

She's a fun gal. Interesting, with a lot of faults that are worth looking into. But I'm not gonna lose sleep over it if she doesn't like me. I'm not the type that too many people care for.

[bit_impossible]

Hmm, it's the hair. [sage nod] Gives off an impression that you're either A) cuddly like a cactus or two--no B) related to a hedgehog, possibly of the speedy and blue variety.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

If you think my hair is bad you should see some of the people I used to work with.

[bit_impossible]

Ohhh? Do tell.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Horrible sideburns, cockroach antennae, a pink haystack, and a curtain of blue terror, just to name a few.

[bit_impossible]

Sounds like quite the motley crew, though I have to admit that "curtain of blue terror" is a new one.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

I can think of only one guy who looked normal, if you didn't count all the piercings.

And count yourself lucky you never met Mr. Blue.

[bit_impossible]

Would Mr. Blue happen to have a name? I think I saw the one you described as having cockroach antennae for hair several months ago. Stayed away from her...

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Saix. Not the most pleasant of guys, if you get my drift.

She was? Heh. Guess I dodged the bullet on that one.

[bit_impossible]

Well no wonder; he must be miserable because of his hair. You had me thinking it was another one of your ilk that I've met here in the past. Name was...Zexion if I remember correctly.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Oh, him? I always thought his was more purple.

[bit_impossible]

[rubs chin] Well, I always thought it was a grey, but then again, I didn't see him around much.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Might depend on the light--[it's about that time he realizes that they're standing around discussing hair color and makes a face] Your estrogen is catching.

[bit_impossible]

[blinks] Catching what?

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

Saying something is catching is just a way of saying...wait.

You really don't know what that means?

[bit_impossible]

[slowly starts to grin] Oh, I do. I was just wondering how far you would go in your explanation, oh Great Teacher Axel.

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

[bit_impossible]

Oh, are you pouting? [giggles]

[firebranded.livejournal.com]

No, I'm leaving.

[bit_impossible]

[waves at him] So long then. Come back if you'd like a flirt later.
