016 - The lady stands in her bower door / As straight as a willow wand

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She appears in her little grotto in the woods, which now looks quite comfortable, actually. There's an oilcloth lean-to set up against one of the trees cushions spread under it, a neatly stacked pile of firewood, even the beginnings of a garden near the stream. She drops a bag on the ground, pulls her sheathed sword free from her belt and drops it on top.

She looks troubled by something, perhaps a little dazed.]

...at least I'm home. At least I can come home.




[[Experiment Start~~! Who plays what part will largely depend on who tags first, and how many "parts" there are to give out. :|]]

[Shoves away from him, looking tired and tearful and angry, and generally not like the self the plane sees ever at all.] Right.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Aniki. [doesn't move closer to her] We're going to have to figure out what they did to you. Seems like your memories of people are a bit wonky. You remember I'm the Doctor but what else?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Sits down on the bank, strips off her breastband with her back to him and starts to pull off her pants. Snapping--]

What portion of 'no more talking' is so hard for you?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[exasperated] The 'not talking' part!

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Glares over her shoulder at him, stands up, and dives into the pond.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[yep, now he just facepalms and walks over to the edge of the pond] Aniki! There's something going on with your head and it isn't good!

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Comes up and smooths her hair away from her face, turning to glare at him again.] If you're trying to make it easier for yourself, I hope it's working.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Make it-- Make it easier for myself?! [crosses his arms] I'm trying to help you!

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Help me! Even alien men are pig scummer. [Submerging now.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[jawdrop] ...I really have no idea what you're talking about.

[IS UNDER WATER, STUPIDHEAD]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[sighs and sits down on the water's edge, muttering to himself and running his hand through his hair]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Breaks the surface again.] Still here, are you?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep. I'm persistent. I hear it's one of my better traits. Or worse. Depends on who you ask and what day.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[STARTS TO GO UNDER AGAIN]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[rolls his eyes] Fine! Don't believe me. I'll just wait here then for when you realise that I'm right. [and he takes out a book and reads]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[This would be Aniki SPLASHING YOU AND YOUR STUPID BOOK. She can be immature too. :|]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[just lets himself get splashed] I love the 35th century. Waterproof paper. Best invention since anti-gravity devices.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Obnoxious spintry.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[turns the page :|b]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Makes an aggravated little noise and climbs out a good five feet away, going to her lean-to and finding a towel that's more like a blanket. She wraps it around herself and lays down, facing away from him.]

Some things are supposed to be simple.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[still reading]

Mm, simple and I aren't on good terms ever since the Beta Prima incident.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Pulls the blanket-towel-thing up over her head and says something inaudible. It's probably rude.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks up from his book] Do you believe me yet?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She pokes her head out.] I don't suppose if I say 'yes' you'll go away.
