Dossier Nineteen

[Henrietta is cradling a small potted plant protectively against her chest, looking back and forth as though someone might appear to take it from her. Quietly, she tells it,]

I'll take you back later, after I talk to him, okay? I know there's no sun, but we'll find someplace nice. I promise.

[About to comment on the first part, but—]

... You're kidding.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No! She's really here, she's really real--she's amazing.

[ghostlighter]

But, she's... fictional. [This doesn't quite compute yet. O-o;;]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No, she's really here, I met her! She has silver slippers and was talking about the Yellow Brick Road and everything.

[ghostlighter]

How... [Just. Trails off.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

How...?

[ghostlighter]

... This shouldn't be possible.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But... we're in the middle of a place with no floor and lots of stars. Why isn't it possible?

[ghostlighter]

Because... because...!

[fffft.] I don't know. This is just... I don't even know.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But why is it bad if she's here?

[ghostlighter]

I didn't say it was bad.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But you're acting like it is.

[ghostlighter]

I just... It doesn't make sense.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

....but why not?

[ghostlighter]

It's Dorothy. From the Wizard of Oz. To be honest, the last time a fictional character suddenly wasn't fictional anymore, he went around cutting peoples' heads off. [L-lawl, headless horseman.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[._.]

[ghostlighter]

... What? [Wait a minute, he'll get it—] Oh. No. No one died, but I'm just saying. It's usually not a good thing.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No one died, but they got their heads cut off?

[ghostlighter]

They were in magic school when it happened. No one dies there.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...but Dorothy can't be here. [...confused.]

[ghostlighter]

... Yeah? [Also confused himself by now. gj Chris.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But... Even if she's not cutting off peoples' heads, I've met her.

[ghostlighter]

[It looks like she missed the point, but oh well.] ... Yeah. I bet you did.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Fffff] It's not an experiment or a lie. The Doctor met her too.

[ghostlighter]

Henrietta. I believe you.
