10 : From Here to There

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[There is a lone figure on the plane.

Just her dress alone is enough to give those that know her pause. Her hair is drawn up from the neck, but even that is no its usual intricate coils. Already wisps of golden hair are finding a way to free themselves.

And she is wearing breeches.(You can see her legs!)

A copper satin they meet with silk hose just at her calf, and are held in place with ornate buckles. The ensemble is completed by a white shirt of lawn cotton with large, voluminous sleeves and a matching satin vest.

Oh yes. And roller blades.

Roller blades.

Just how does one stop, on the Plane?]

[The Doctor is delighted! He grins madly and runs over to to her, before stopping just as he gets within earshot and standing with a grin]

Trying something new today, Madame?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[There is much less control is this entire ordeal than she would prefer, and as she rolls past him she manages --]

Obviously.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[he's more than a little amused, but he offers her his hand]

You're doing much better than I did my first time.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[she swings a bit awkwardly, pulling her arm]

Then you must have done very poorly indeed.

[watches her]

Those seem like they'd be a bit out of place in Court.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[and in an unfortunate incident, there is a Reinette slamming into you. How else is she supposed to stop? Subsequent mortification is following]

More than a bit...I imagine.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[he catches her, but might fall over with the momentum, struggling to keep his balance and a hold on Reientte at the same time]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[regaining your balance when on wheels is most difficult]

These can be the most ridiculous things.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[calling out] I'd advise you to head towards a solid object and grab onto it!

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[as she calls out, more than annoyed]

And that, precisely, would be what?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why not try the Astral Bar?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[is that sarcasm?]

Why did I not think of that?

[Martha looks amused for a moment, watching Reinette, then heads to grab her first aid kit - though the floor of the Plane probably doesn't have the same abrasive qualities as pavement] Is it your first time, then?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[she is managing to stand somewhat still for the moment, though she is glaring a her feet]


Quite obviously so, I am afraid.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[hopefully she won't need the first aid kit, but Martha likes to be prepared] Ah, well, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Staying on your feet is always a good sign.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[Reinette, it seems, like Martha. She is not glaring at her, after all]

I have already been off of them enough, thank you.

[contract_star]

[Hei thinks he's seen her before. He can't help smiling at the rollerblades.]

Not Air Trecks, I hope? Those are impossible.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[as long as there is no laughing -- laughing is not allowed]

I must confess I do no know. These are quite impossible even if that is not the case.

[contract_star]

I've never been very good at them either, although I'm learning with the Air Trecks. They're even more difficult than normal since they're motorized.

[Brigitta is looking on with an expression torn between sympathy and amusement]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[Reinette is doing her best, still, not to fall]

OOC: Natalie love!

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta is still deciding on whether to step in and help]

(OOC: I haven't actually seen her in anything... But she is kind of amazingly pretty, and I keep meaning to see her in things!)

[Casually comes and skate next to her, because he can~]

Are you having fun? Even if those things look almost prehistoric.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Fun?

[she actually laughs]

Not -- yet. And I do not know from when the Doctor acquired them.

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

Not yet? Want to go a little faster? [Takes one of her hands to keep her balance and places the other on her back, then speeds up]
