Oh, great. Wonderful. Fantastic. Bloody geniuses, the lot of you! What was it this time? Come on, tell me. Ring me up! Oh, but no, no radio here, no telly. Will the stars sing out the answer? A heavenly chorus of medical malpractice? What sort of drug did you overdose me on this time?

Well, come on! [hits himself on the head] Where’s the television? I need to see how the rest of this case plays out. I just want to go– [disappears for a moment, before reappearing]

...

All right, so maybe it isn’t drugs.

Ne, boss, drugs are bad for you. You really shouldn't use those.

[didorothy]

...Why did you call me 'boss'? And I'm not on drugs. Not exactly.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

'Sir' sounded funny. And 'boss' usually works. And you were just talking about them.

[didorothy]

Oh. It's just, my team calls me 'boss.' But I'm not on drugs. I'm -- never mind.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Team? But then boss is perfect for you. What's your real name though? And good. You don't need them, boss!

[didorothy]

A Team, Manchester Police. I'm DI Sam Tyler.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ohh, you're in the police! What do you do?

[didorothy]

CID. Detective work.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ne, I'm a detective, too!

[didorothy]

[aww, cute] Really? With who?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

With my friends! Yasako and Haraken. We work for Mega-baa in the Coil Dennō Detective Agency.

[didorothy]

Do you have an area of expertise, in this agency?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty good at finding missing pets. And gathering information.

[didorothy]

Dogs and cats and things?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Mhm! Or birds or mice or any sort of pet. I hate catching birds, though. They always fly away before I can grab them.

[didorothy]

[so used to the office slang that it takes him a moment to know what she's talking about] I imagine that's a trial, yes.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

So what kind of cases do you do?

[didorothy]

Robbery, murder, r-- uh, hostage-taking scenarios, guns trafficking - if we can get it past the RCS - busting up drug and p-- other rings... whatever my DCI decides is worth A Division's time.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

You do a lot. So you work with that rude guy?

[didorothy]

The Guv? Yes, he's my DCI. [icon says it all] My superior officer.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I don't like him. He was picking on me. I think he's watched way too many bad cop movies.

[didorothy]

[muttered] He predates most bad cop movies. [clearly] You should avoid him, if you can. I doubt he'd hit you, but he's still a bit of a... brute.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I can't take what he said lying down. But I can't get back at him very well, either.

[didorothy]

What did he say to you?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Mm, let's see. A lot of things. 'Chick' 'bird' 'bloody gook'... I don't even understand half of his nicknames and I still feel insulted.
