016--Why, Mum?

[Enter nicely dressed Rose, playing Heiress]

Right, yeah, I'll just be a minute, and yes it is lovely to see you aga--

...well, that was convenient. I really wish Mum would stop setting me up on dates. Through his mother, no less. Sometimes, she's insane.

[Takes off heels] And my feet are killing me. But I did get some nice cake out of it.

[making a face at Rose - technically at Jackie but Jackie cannot see him, so he'll give Rose the look instead] What, again with the boys?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yes, again with the boys.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's our Jackie, tenacious to a T.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That's one way to put it. I prefer batty.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's another way. Is it the same one as last time or has she got a list?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Dear old Will, again.

...but she has got a list, y'know. I've seen it.

[oh, another high-class lady? Lucy is interested, and so moves in to introduce herself, extending a friendly hand. ever the politician, you know] Oh my. Having a rough time of it, then?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Shakes it!] I blame my Mum.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[laughs politely] That is certainly the fashionable thing to do. [conspiratorially] And between us? The correct way of it, as well.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Always is. Always has been, really.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[grins widely] It most certainly is. Lucy Saxon, by the way. A pleasure to meet you, Miss...?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Tyler. Rose Tyler. Nice to meet you, Lucy Saxon.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Not big on dates, are you?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Only with some people.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[and oh, that name rings a bell, and it takes everything Lucy has to keep the smile on her face] Quite. If I might ask, how long have you been here?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I lost track, but a few months, at least.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Like the ones your mum chooses for you?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those ones. I swear, she's already planning my wedding with Will.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[have a curious and happy-looking Jack] How come you never dress up like that for me?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Thought you were pretty keen on the idea of marriage?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You never ask!

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

I see. You seem rather familiar with this place, then. [smile fades to a faint smirk] You must forgive me. I've only recently arrived here myself. Are you acquainted with any of the people here?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware I had to ask, but I'll keep it in mind. What's the occasion, anyway?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Only if you're offering.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Mum threw another party, and it's my day off, which means I had to be there.
