001--Er, what?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Er. Right, well....am I trapped in my own head again? Wouldn’t surprise me. This was what I saw last time I was trapped in my own head.
–‘least I think it was. Can’t really remember, since, y’know, my mind was, incidentally, wiped afterwards.
I sorta hope this is what I saw last time, ‘cause it’s beautiful. Sorta reminds me of when the Doctor and I, after a long day of running for our lives, would just sorta....stop and relax and look out the TARDIS doors at the stars and space.

Anyway, getting back on track. Hello? Anyone? ...dunno why I’m asking , if I’m trapped in my own head and all. I really doubt Mickey and Jake would be trapped in my head with me. I bet Mickey’s in his Gran’s house, if he’s in his head.
No clue where Jake would be. I should ask him next time I see him. Might sound a bit odd, though. “Er, so, Jake When you get trapped in your own head, where d’you end up?”

Oh, that'd be brilliant.

[leans back and looks up at the stars] I should tell you that when you leave this place, you'll be back wherever you previously were. But you can come back here anytime.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Looks over at him] How?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] A bit like Dorothy, without all the heel clicking. Just think about going back and you do.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Grins, too] Oh, brilliant.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? [totally grinning] Still haven't been able to figure out how this was done but it's impressive, I'll give them that.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

It is. Gorgeous, too. All of the...stars and things.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Completely fake of course. [rubs the side of his nose] But excellent reproductions.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Leans back on her elbows] You think so? Do you recognize any of them?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Yep! Let's see... [starts pointing] that right there is the Antennae galaxies, gorgeous and still in mid-collusion with each other. You've got the pleiades over there. They're lovely but ooh, nasty weeds that come from there. Oh! The crab pulsar. I love pulsars. Deadly, really, strong radiation blasts but like a lighthouse in space. Just amazing.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it. [Points somewhere in the distance] That looks sorta familiar. Did you ever take me there and then show it to me later?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that one. That! is the Eagle Nebula. Beautiful, eh? I took you there for that brilliant light show, all the stars forming all at once, remember? Dinner on the platform with that funny little drink server and the toasted nibbles?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I remember that. Gorgeous light show. [Laughs] And the drink server! He looked a bit like a turquoise penguin, yeah? 'cause of the color of his skin and the way he waddled and the glittery tux he was wearing.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Yes! A bit posh but wonderful drinks. Good evening, wasn't it? And no much even went wrong! Besides that one bloke who was trying to harness the flare energy anyway but that's a quiet evening for us, really.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Sorta like a break, really. [Grins] I bet it's 'cause you didn't wear the Tux of Death that night.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I really like that tux, though. And the trainers. Can't just wear them any old day.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Good thing, too, considering that something always goes wrong when you wear it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

But you know, I was thinking about it and I think something goes wrong anyway.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

....well, probably.

But still, Tux of Death is a cool name, yeah?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You should get it trademarked.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Laughs and falls back, so she's lying down]

Tux of Death trademarked? Dunno 'bout that.

[Points up] Do you know what that sorta...cluster is?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[glances up] Hm? Ohhh, that one. [flops back next to her] That's a globular cluster that goes by the name of Messier of Scorpio. Very intense clusters. Just this great big ball of thousands upon thousands of old stars squeezing together. That one happens to be quite unique. There's a planetary system there orbiting a pulsar star near the center. It's a bit of a tourist trap in the 60th century but even at a distance it's brilliant.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Amazing, yeah. How's it a tourist trap, though? Do people just fly spaceships up and look at it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[sniffs and makes a face] Oh yeah, you've got viewing decks and cruise ships that go through and loads of little tourist alley colonies that set up along the way.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Nudges] I bet there are loads of gift shops.
