[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...

[bit_impossible]

No...you don't. [still, he takes Oliver's hand and goes for a subject change!]

Let's have a seat by that fountain there! I think I see square bubbles coming out the top. [grins at him before dragging him to it!]

[oliverplus]

Square? Okay the- [trails off when he starts getting dragged, laughing instead]

[bit_impossible]

Ohhh look! Some are dodecahedrons! [points at them and laughs merrily]

[oliverplus]

Dode-whatsits? Whoa, those are spiky bubbles!

[bit_impossible]

[tries to catch one, but it pops in his hand] Ah well, as expected. I really wondered if it would be pointy or not!

[oliverplus]

Well, they certainly look pointy! [reaches out and starts poking them with a finger, watching them pop]

[bit_impossible]

[grins mischievously and when the next spiked dodecahedron bubble lands, he pretends it does pierce him. he hisses and presses the wounded finger to his lips, sucking at the 'wound']

[oliverplus]

[you just ruined his fun! yanks his own hand back, turning to you in alarm] Doctor!? Did it hurt you?

[bit_impossible]

[keeps up the act for a little bit and might've just let out a whimper just then] I think so...

[oliverplus]

Hey, let me see. I've still got bandages. [reaches for his arm]

[bit_impossible]

[instead of giving his hand over, he playfully taps Oliver's nose] No need. I'm all right, Ollie. You're very sweet, you know that?

[oliverplus]

[stares; did she just tap his nose?] You mean...you were taking the mickey out of me!? Doctor!

[bit_impossible]

[giggles] Only a little one.

[oliverplus]

Even female you're still impossible!

[bit_impossible]

[grins] And yet you still like me. [pats Oliver's cheek]

[oliverplus]

[shifts uncomfortably] Well, yeah. But getting you a bandage isn't sweet! Anybody would've done it.

[bit_impossible]

No, no, that you were so concerned about even a little wound like that. You're a good man, Oliver.

[oliverplus]

Oh. [scratches his head] If that's your standard, that really isn't asking for much.

[bit_impossible]

[shakes head] I didn't mean just that.

[oliverplus]

So...what next? We still haven't tried the food in this place!

[bit_impossible]

Well, finding a seat would be next, Ollie boy! Where do you want to sit?

[oliverplus]

What about by that glowing wall over there?

[bit_impossible]

The purpleish one or--oh! There's another over there! Let's see if that one's similar. [heads over to there, tugging on Oliver's hand]

[oliverplus]

If it's like anything else in this place, it won't be! [follows her eagerly]</i.

[bit_impossible]

Well, see what it does! [has a seat right in front of the wall in question]
