[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...

[eyes him, a mischievous twinkle in his eye] Oh yeah? All right then.

What do you think of me like this? [props a hand on his hip, putting on a very innocent face] Do I make an attractive woman?

Attractive? Well, it's sort of weird to think that way about you, Doctor--you being the Doctor and all. [looks him up and down, considering] But yeah. I mean, I already told you your breasts are sort of small, and most blokes are looking for those, but you've got a good figure otherwise. And your face is really pretty--especially if a bloke's looking for a confident and proud woman. You've got really beautiful hair, too, which is a change!

And I like it when we touch, even though it'd be really weird if we did anything like when I was Olivia. [makes a face] Especially since you'd probably be wearing the pants in the relationship even though I'm male this time.

But yeah, I guess you are attractive.

[manages to keep a straight, but amused face on during that--he'd expected a straight yes/no answer--but once Ollie's finished, he bursts out laughing, doubling over.]

[not the reaction he was expecting] What? You asked!

[eventually stops laughing, wiping a tear from his eye.] I did, Ollie, I did. But would you have been that frank about me had you been in complete control of your faculties?

[pouts] Well, I was, wasn't I?

You were. I just don't think you would've admitted so much otherwise.

But it's you, Doctor! I share a lot of stuff with you.

Most things, this is true. But I'm sure if I asked you about things I would never, ever, ever ask you about--and you'd never ever, ever bring up normally, you would talk about them.

No way! I mean, not if I didn't want to. I just feel like talking right now.

All right then! You may continue talking about how beautiful and fantastic I am. [hands him a biscuit]

All right! [bites into the biscuit eagerly. continues talking with his mouth full] I don't think you need me to say anything else about that. You already know how beautiful and fantastic you are--and then some, probably.

"Probably"? [arches an eyebrow there]

[swallows] Well, you do overestimate yourself now and then, you know. [takes another bite]

[that eyebrow stays arched] No, do explain.

Really? I thought you did it on purpose. I mean, yeah, you're completely clever and fantastic and do absolutely amazing things. There's nobody like you in the universe, Doctor, and I don't think there ever will be, so it's a good thing you've been around as much as you have been! But things do still go wrong sometimes, even if you don't want to admit you misjudged or made a mistake.

Like not expecting the actual Puppeteer to be visiting local bars. I mean, I don't blame you for it. Nobody's perfect. But sometimes you pretend you are.
