02 - Experimenting

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[Susan shows up with a couch, disappears, comes back, disappears again, looking more frustrated and unsettled each time.

Desk.

Television.

Bed.

Fridge.

Repeating the process each time.

The fact the fridge is still running seems to be what puts her over the edge. She sags onto the bed and puts her head in her hands.]

[Comes to stand before her.] Susan.

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[A bit waspish,] What.

[Then,] And where the hell have you been? I don't care how much Hank likes you, you're going to get yourself fired.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

You're not going crazy, you know.

Actually, I could ask you that. You haven't been in to work.

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

No? Really? You know that--coming from you that's really not reassuring.

[Gives him a Look.] And yes, I have been.

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

[eyeing the furniture warily] ...Are you okay?

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[Giving you a ARE YOU SERIOUS? look] No! I'm very, very not!

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

[pouting apologetically] Just...making sure. Sorry.

Anything I can do?

[ Nanoha is watching, looking very curious. ]

[Sits up straight and spots the kid. She has a brief mental break before she smiles gently.] Hello.

[starlightbreak.livejournal.com]

Hello! Are you bringing things here to see if they work?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[Dead serious--]

Is your fridge still running?

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[Starts and then looks up at him.] Yes. Yes it is.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

The I reckon you'd better go and catch it--

. . . Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[Donna's poking around the fridge] Moving in?

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[Giving her =_= look] Of course not.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Why are you bringing your flat then?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You know it might've been easier if you'd just brought the whole room with you.

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

I'm not moving in, all right, I was--I'm testing something.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you were moving in. I just thought it might've been easier for you to move it all at once.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Pokes at the fridge] Hm.

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, that's mine. And yes it's still running, and no I'm not going to try and catch it.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Head tilt] Ah, been a long day?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I think you forgot a few things. No kitchen sink?

[lockedinglass.livejournal.com]

[Absently] I considered it, but I didn't want to deal with the questions if it messed up the plumbing.

[YEAH SHE'S SORTA IN SHOCK STILL, sorry Doctor. She gives him a suspicious look.]

Are you my Doctor, the clone who prefers not to be called that, or the other--the one I haven't met yet?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That would be confusing. 'Sorry, left it out in space. Be back in a tick.'

[he blinks, then rubs his neck] Right, sorry, forgot that bit. But I know you! Hullo, Susan.
