Like fire! Hellfire! [this fire in my skin]

Right, so! Pompeii: very lacking in Super Soaker outlets. Anyone have a water gun handy?

Well, I didn't think a heat-based weapon was the way to go.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[snorts] I know but water pistols! It's bloody brilliant!

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] Well it is a lot of fun.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I didn't get to try it. It was mostly the Doctor pretending to be dangerous with the gun and then we jumped into this grated place underground. You're underground, yeah?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Mostly. Did you get a pair of seers having a prophecy competition in front of you?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

That was freaky. Oh! What'd they say about you? Cos it'd be you, not me, then. Is there something on your back? Did the Doctor do that really flipped out look?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

There is nothing on my back, but the Doctor did do the 'flipped-out' look. So did I, for that matter. How should they know--well, anyway. Not important.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[curious and nosy? yes] What is it? I remember what they mentioned for the Doctor.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you really think that's your business, Miss Noble?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Probably not. I'll tell you what they said to me if you tell me what they said to you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I could always just take the information from your mind.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Do that and you won't get my brilliant and much more interesting retelling. Just a kick to whatever Time Lords have between their legs.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Miss Noble, I could take complete control over your body. A kick isn't much of a worry.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[looks more anxious but that's never stopped Donna]

Just humour me, please?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

All right. You first.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

They called me daughter of London. And said there was something on my back. They knew we were time travellers.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

They mentioned drums, called me 'The Deathless.' Said something about the prosecution.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[a sort of smile] I don't know what any of that means. I guess 'Deathless' from that regeneration thing? Drums...war? Prosecution because you're the dark side of the force? I dunno.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why are you trying to help, my dear?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[grins] I'm a temp. It's what I do. I even almost worked for you once. Didn't land it, though, which was all right. Every temp in the city was trying for it, I swear.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I knew who you were already. Chose not to bring you in.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

How'd you know me? I'm not exactly important.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You have very low self-esteem, Donna Noble. I'd get that dealt with were I you.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Well it's the truth. I'm just a temp from Chiswick who got a lucky break.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The Doctor lets you travel around thinking that? Ooh, he's been so lax in recent years.
