[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...

[still has food in his mouth] Yeah. [swallows and smiles] If it goes spicy again, you can finish it.

From:

bit_impossible

Well, what if it turns yellow? What d'you think it'll taste like then? Mustard?

From:

oliverplus

[makes a face] Hope not! Maybe it just gets blander as it gets lighter? [eats some more of the meat while it's still orange]

From:

bit_impossible

Never know, it could become sour or worse if it turns green or blue. Imagine what violet might taste like!

From:

oliverplus

[quirks an eyebrow, swallowing] What would violet food taste like?

From:

bit_impossible

[grins mischievously and reaches for the menu] Shall we find out?

From:

oliverplus

[grins] Yeah, let's give it a go!

From:

bit_impossible

[orders the first violet dish he sees!] Go on, finish up your orange nibbles there before they really do change colour again. [tucks in to his interesting blue food.]

From:

oliverplus

Working on it! [just about had the next skewer in his mouth when you said that]

From:

bit_impossible

[while they're eating, the new dish arrives. he's mostly done with his, but he saves the rest of it just in case this doesn't taste like the other violet-coloured food he's had before.]

Interesting...look at the little flames on it! It's an excitable flavour accelerator. [licks his fingers and dips them into the cool flames and they dance up his fingers partway.] But! It doesn't harm living flesh like yours and mine. Actually, if I read the menu correctly, this is more of a vegetarian dish.

From:

oliverplus

[has stopped with one skewer left, the meat on which is currently turning yellow] Wait, so the flames add flavour? What's it taste like?

From:

bit_impossible

Add and enhance, bit like the way salt does, or so the greatest chefs on Earth say. [licks the flames of his fingers] Hmmm. Try it yourself and see what you think. It's good, but! I'm not going to taint your opinion further.

From:

oliverplus

So it's like...flame sauce? [reaches out to dip his fingers in it, bringing them back and licking them] Whoa! That's...different.

From:

bit_impossible

Almost! Sauces coat, this enhances. [picks up his fork and scoops up a bit of the purple vegetable dish. he closes his eyes as a most delightful taste hits his tongue.] Mmmm. I should've gone with this one to begin with.

From:

oliverplus

You sound like my mum! Again!

Really? That good? [grabs his own fork and reaches across to give it a go himself]

From:

bit_impossible

What, she always second-guesses her first choice in entrées?

From:

oliverplus

No, but she always throws in random food information and recommendations when you least expect it. [pops the fork in his mouth] Wow. That is good!

From:

bit_impossible

[frowns] But I've always done that. Random little facts about whatever. You know? I've had the market on that for a lot longer than your mum's been alive!
