[a couple days or so has passed since everything returned to normal, and despite a few harsh words he had for the scientists, his mood has actually been pretty positive. how could he not be happy when everybody's lived? he's sat down with random groups of people--often pulling up a chair and jumping into the middle of an interesting conversation--and learnt all sorts of things about them and what their worlds are like. unsurprisingly, nothing lines up with his universe, so of course it only intrigues him more.

but after a while of this, he finds himself getting antsy and leaves his new acquaintances before he can grow attached too them. so like that, he's drifted around the ship, avoiding face-to-face contact with those he's grown to care for over the course of their journey together, but as the days dwindle away--and he recalls how he treated Olivia the first time around--he knows that if he's going to do anything, he better to it now, so he reaches for his Sphere and switches it on.]

Ahhh, can I get everybody's attention? Well, not the original passengers and that lot, you can return to your dining and well, whatever else you were doing.

But to everybody else, my fellow anachronistic travellers on this ship... I'm not sure what's going to happen once Orion and his two scientists finish their task or how it's going to happen, but we'll be back in our own universes and times again one way or another.

If we don't see each other again...[he trails off, looking away for a moment, muttering:] I might as well say it before it's too late, but--[his gaze returns back to the Sphere]--I wanted to say thank you. We've been through some difficult times, us: crashed into a planet, subjected to all sorts of things I'd never experienced in my long life, saw new friends come and go, and, well, nearly being killed several times. Certainly has that odd effect of bringing people together, and you lot made me proud, so very proud, and I'm glad to have met all of you, especially--well, you know who you are. I'm only sorry we couldn't have met under different circumstances and had ourselves a right proper holiday. At least we can now, huh?

So! [throws on a grin] Who's up for a bit of fun?

Bit different than the music you've got back home.

So, if those divine instruments of yours aren't musical, what kind are they? More electrically charged weapons?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

It is.

No, I have my rosary and my Divine Reflector.

[bit_impossible]

Divine reflector? Might I see what those are as well?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[In the blink of an eye Solar Flare blazed at her back, its colorful flames flickering in a wind that wasn't there, while her tundra beads hovered about her shoulders like crystalline satellites. Though the icy surfaces of the beads seemed to frost the very air around them, the heat of Solar Flare didn't seem to interfere with them at all!]

[bit_impossible]

[is in awe] Ohhh, very cool. Would touching either of those harm me at all?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm-mm. [She shakes her head.]

[bit_impossible]

[well with that, he reaches out to touch the nearest bead] Huh, nothing at all... [touches the reflector next] Is it just mere decoration, the elemental touch to them, or can the coolness of these and the heat from the reflector be used in some fashion?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

I use them in battle all the time. My Divine Instruments are my weapons. [She smiled up at him, her tail wagging.]

[bit_impossible]

...Even the rosary? Seems like it'd be a bit cumbersome having to take it off and, well use it. How do you use something like that as a weapon? The sword I understand, the reflector a little less, but you have me curious.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[There may be a falling leaf that gently drifts on a simulated breeze. In a heartbeat the rosary lashes out, snapping like a whip before returning, then blasting away with the speed of a machine gun. When Ammy's finished, the rosary reforms it's circle, continuing to float about her shoulders.]

[bit_impossible]

[this is him, staring and rendered speechless]

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[Cocks her head at him, her ears perked forward.] Want me to show you my reflector techniques?

[bit_impossible]

Sure! Certainly won't say no!

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[Well, it's been a while since she's done any training, so showing the Doctor her reflector techniques would actually help her as well. The burning sun disk flashes as she works her way from the Five Winds to the Wailing Mirror. Too bad she didn't have any real enemies to fight, the Doctor might've been impressed by the way she could drive enemies into the ground in a counter attack.]

[bit_impossible]

[surely he would've, but seeing that is certainly enough!] Wow, I, uh, I must admit I expect that reflector of yours to be used like one would use a shield.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

I can use it that way as well, that is how I use it when I am fighting with Thunder Edge as my weapon.

[bit_impossible]

Ahhh, I see. Which do you prefer to use the most?

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Solar Flare. [She beams, her tail wagging.] It is my emblem.

[bit_impossible]

Well, being the sun goddess and all, that makes perfect sense.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She nods.]

[bit_impossible]

Thank you for showing me this, Amaterasu. All this is completely magnificent.

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure, Doctor.

[bit_impossible]

[and he goes in for a hug, knowing deep down that he won't be able to see any of this for himself once he's back home.]

[celestial-okami.livejournal.com]

[She is more than happy to give him a hug, she's come to like them. Her tail wags as her face is smooshed into his pinstripe jacket.]

[bit_impossible]

[he pulls away, smiling at her and secretly tickled he's hugged a goddess.] I think our time in here is just about up. Was there anything else you wanted to show me?
