[Juni has brought a loom to the plane! It’s a proper wooden loom except the material strung through it is actually a rather large spider’s web… Juni is staring at the loom and the material with the kind of expression usually reserved for mild hysteria] It’s not that I don’t appreciate the present…

[And now she’s walking around it in a rather puzzled way] but how the hell am I supposed to use it?

[Runs a hand through her hair and grunts] …And how many times do I have to explain to him that even as a child I was considered a tomboy?

...He can be a idiot at times, I'm inclined to say most times.

[LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- *shot for canon reference*

The Doctor, meanwhile, blinks]

Ah, well, that is...a rather different sort of present, isn't it?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[:D

Juni, however, is scowling] Mm, would it have killed him to get chocolate? Even roses would be better than... Than... This.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Is it your birthday?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I... I'm not sure, I don't think so [Frown]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, then what the sudden gift of looming?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

...I really have no clue.

He likes giving me presents.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose...can't really look a gift horse in the mouth all the time.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Pokes at the loom] Especially when it doesn't seem to have a mouth.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Depends on the loom. Well, erm, I'm sure it could look lovely somewhere in your home.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Considering that I live in Lord Loss's home it probably will.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Lord Loss? Did Lord Loss lose a loom?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Raises eyebrow] To me, I think I should find it for him.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[clears his throat] Sorry, it was just...alliteration. Anyway!

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I guessed... [Slight smile] It was rather good.

Anyway?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? I wasn't sure. Some people really don't appreciate alliteration. But I know a few planets dependent on it.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

My mother hated it, I always rather liked it.

There are planets dependent on it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Some people I know do find it annoying but I like to alliterate at them anyway.

Yep! Whole planets where meaning is conveyed through the repeating sounds.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Well, it's certainly fun for annoying people when they need annoying.

[In slightly awed tones] Really? Are lots of planets like that?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You know, it's not just girls that use looms... and I'd be inclined to say a lot of girls wouldn't go near it with a web that size strung through it.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I suppose not... [Plucks at the web and makes a face] The only material he could find, apparently.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...not exactly ideal material for making textiles from, is it? It's too sticky to make anything worthwhile from for one thing.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Pokes at the webs and makes a face] Mm, he's gifted me with dresses made form webs in the past.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Pulls a face at that.] Well, I know I wouldn't be in a hurry to take that dressmakers number... not that I make a habit of taking their numbers in the first place.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I think he made them himself, which is even more worrying in many ways.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...maybe he likes cobwebs?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Considering that he's a giant spider himself I think so.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That would explain it.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Probably [Smirk]
