Constellation 08

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[There are several piles of snow on the Plane today. There's enough of it to cover a small section of the 'floor' in it, as well as scatterings here and there. Arthur is sitting in the middle of it, dressed appropriately for the cold, at least, with a heavy winter jacket and large snow boots. His cheeks are a bright red, though whether this is because of the cold or the scotch currently being filtered by his body is anyone's guess.

There are tuffs of snow on his hair and clothes, but these are ignored in favor of the drawing in the snow he seems to be working on at the moment. Equations, to be exact] 
[Experiment start, as well~]

Comments

[The Doctor raises an eyebrow at that comment.] I suppose. It's natural to want balance.

[And then he looks over him.] You need more pockets.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

He doesn't seem to mind, at least. I'd hate to bother him.

[looks down] I don't have anything as warm with many pockets.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you don't. Well, not 100% but I can't imagine it being too terrible a bother.

[Tilts his head.] Oh, you can always add pockets.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Our clothing does get torn, every so often, which I'm sure is a bother. He knows how to sew, though, so it's not too much of a problem most of the time.

Can you? I wouldn't know how.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well! If someone can sew, that isn't really a problem, is it?

Oh, I might be able to. I'm rather fond of pockets. I have a lot of them.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It might be if the tear's too big. And it's cold to sit out in the snow lacking clothing.

[smiles] I would certainly appreciate it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[snorts.] Just a bit. Though it would depend on the length of exposure time.

I might have self attaching pockets left over somewhere. Amazing little invention, really.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not risk a cold. Then we couldn't go out as planned for the rest of his stay.

I should get them after this, though. He's a bit drunk, but not enough to overlook additional pockets.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What else are you planning to do?

And yes, that's actually for the best. I'd have to find them first. They're probably in the wardrobe, I imagine, but that really doesn't narrow it.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Lecture, theater, cinema, maybe go out cycling for a few days if hte weather warms up a bit.

I could help you look for them. Or...well, I suppose not. I don't really have access to your reality.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, that sounds nice. All of it. Though cycling in the snow can't be terribly easy.

[He smiles.] Well! Maybe soon, eh?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It's not, but we're used to it. He's gone cycling with me before.

[grins] It's very likely, if I understand the Plane's mechanics well enough.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

A cycling partner, then?

Exactly! Well, not that I completely understand how that could be possible. Still working on that bit.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Not constant, but yes.

Will you tell me if you figure anything out?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That reminded me of a song, actually.

And of course I will. Best to share that sort of information so we can all figure this out. Knowledge is power, moreso here.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Song?

I look forward to it, though. I'm curious to see what other realities are like.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I doubt my reality will disappoint, really.

And ah, well, Daisy Bell. You know. [clears his throat and sings a bit.] Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. [And he stops.] Specifically the bicycle line.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[He blinks, then laughs as the Doctor finishes singing. It's a good natured laugh, though, and he even claps a bit] A bycycle built for two.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor smiles brightly, a bit smug at this reception.] Yes, that line. Always did like the song. Bit catchy, really. It was also in an excellent film.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

What film would that be?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

2001: A Space Odyssey. The computer, HAL, sings it. You'd probably be quite interested in the film. Very beautifully done, especially for the time.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[He looks a bit sulky at that] I won't get to see it, then. It doesn't sound like it'll come out within my life time.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

It doesn't but I don't know why that means you couldn't see it.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I'd have to obtain the film first, Doctor. As well as somewhere to watch it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins a bit.] I happen to have both, so I still don't see the issue.
