the change in your face [when anger shows]

[didorothy]

[Have you, gentle reader, ever wanted to know what barely contained, borderline homocidal rage sounds like when delivered in John Simm's delightful Mancunian accent? Then here is your chance!]

There is a savannah. Outside of Manchester.

A savannah. Outside. Of Manchester.

Everywhere.

With cheetahs!

Gene Hunt, I am going to gut you, and when I'm done I'll have 'em prepared for your funeral so your Missus doesn't have to cook.

I know. You did have me worried for a minute, there, though.

[didorothy]

[he's continuing this crazy-talk conversation, with pacing]

But the Guv'd never agree to having his memories wiped. So I'd have to force it on him. What would that be, mind-rape? [look of distaste] Has to be a crime. Somewhere.

[Sigh, oh, dealing with Sam's crazy. It's a ritual] Then you shouldn't be doing it.

[didorothy]

[and onto the next stage in the Kübler-Ross model of Sam Insanity]

What do I do, Annie?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

First, you take the time to see if there's anything you can do.

[didorothy]

Right.

[beat]

What can I do?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

I don't know, Sam. What can you do?

[didorothy]

I don't... know.

[depression stage, go!]

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Yes, you do. If anyone can think of something, it's you.

[didorothy]

I could... I don't know. Maybe the Twins have a way of undoing it. Or... Or if we can't undo it, we'll have to adapt to it. Somehow.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Much better than your original idea, I think. I knew you could do it.

[didorothy]

I'm still punching Gene. Hard.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can find a way around that.

[didorothy]

No. I want to do that.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

You always want to do that.

Do you want to get ice cream, as well, then?

[didorothy]

He always deserves it.

I guess ice cream couldn't hurt.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Ice cream is a miracle worker. For me, anyway. That, and the aquarium. Tell you what. We can go to the aquarium and get ice cream, if you'll talk with me before you punch Gene.

[didorothy]

[laughs a little] It's illegal to bribe a police officers, you know.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Good thing it's our secret, yeah?

[didorothy]

Annie, you'll make a dishonest cop of me yet.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Only for the greater good, Sir.

[didorothy]

I didn't realise you could corrupt for the greater good.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Neither did I. Then I met you.

[didorothy]

That hurts, Annie.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

I'll make it up to you with an extra scoop of strawberry.
