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

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

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.

[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.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What do you think it means?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

That I'm special?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Doesn't he usually give some droll about how everyone is special?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

He doesn't exactly go around making speeches. He's gotten better about not killing things. I think that Martha he was with did him a lot of good. But he helps people. He just doesn't...talk a lot.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

...That's unusual.
