[the TARDIS appears on the Plane following this conversation with Dietrich, hoping to find a way to counteract whatever it is he's done to her and warn the Doctor. she's pacing around near the beach that Ten.One brought a while back, stopping every now and again to see if anyone's around, then going back to pacing, working out elaborate equations under her breath just to keep focused]

[Watches her, eyes glittering blue and white.] You got some fearsome taillights, TARD-EEZ. Got some beat-all poison streamers on your bridle.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[blinks] I am sorry, but what are you saying?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Hunkers down.] Poison, poison! Bright hot poison that isn't yours.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head] You are mistaken.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[she encounters a beach, the powdering sand clinging to her skirts -- but that is apparently not what concerns her]

TARDIS?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[stops pacing to look at her] Ah, Reinette. Are you here to enjoy the beach? I understand that is a human pastime.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it is, yes. But one I never enjoyed, or was really allowed to indulge in.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

You are like I, then? Many of these things are new to me, as well, here in this place.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[she smiles, and it is something actually admitted to few]

Yes, we are alike in this. For are my experiences, my education? There are a great many things that I have never known. And I do not merely speak of the Doctor's stars. I mean the beach, as you suggest. Learning to swim. Even a childhood spent at play.

I do not regret my life, but there are certain truths of which I am aware.

[gives her a concerned look] What's wrong?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[looks at him, then shakes her head] Nothing is wrong, Doctor. I see no reason why that should concern you, anyhow.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You always concern me. So tell me what's wrong.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[there's definitely something in her eyes, but her voice is sharp] Do not dare assume to order me.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[blinks; he's not used to that tone, so he only looks more worried] Did something happen? Back home?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor strides toward her the moment he sees her, immediately concerned]

What's wrong?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[as with Ten, she can't actually tell him. plus, you know ... she's being forced to be mean] Is that really any concern of yours?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I would say so, yes.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

You need not. I am fine, Doctor.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[softly] You're lying. [faint smile] You ought to know better.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah...you have that little spider's scent on you. Dietrich von Lohengrin. Why have you been near him?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

He is the vampire hunter, yes? [shakes her head] I allowed him to borrow some books, that is all.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Vampire hunter? Hm, is that what he does? Ah, TARDIS, you should be very careful around him. He is not what he seems.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

That is what I have been led to believe, yes. But I see no reason to be cautious. He has shown no signs of aggression.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Nor does a spider before it descends on its prey. [Headtilt.] Odd...I know we have not spoken often, but you do seem the type to put caution first...
