[So a Time Lord walked into a bar... Ahem. Rather, Omega is sitting along the outdoor part of a happily deserted onsen on the first floor, vaguely contemplative. Since he's a stick in the mud not really the onsen type, he's still dressed in his normal clothes, and doesn't seem all that bothered by the heat and steam. In his hand is a glass of something that is very likely alcoholic, judging from the presence of a small bar nearby.

However, if he was banking on the Time Lord alcohol tolerence, he's going to be sorely disappointed. Why? Because of hijinks! Also he's a bit of lightweight on the best of days anyway. Rass mocked him mercilessly for it. Time Lords are going to find that their awesome ability to not get drunk has vanished. Because it's funny.

...Obviously, someone should take advantage of this situation. :|]

It's not like you high-and-mighties to unwind with a drink, is it?

[she takes a seat right next to him, crossing her ankle over her knee casually.]

Would've thought you'd be against fun as a general principle.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

'Fun' is a relative term, and I should certainly hope that I am allowed to indulge occasionally.

[takes a sip of his drink]

It is difficult to intoxicate a Time Lord, anyway.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Not on the plane, it isn't.

[Oh yes, that is a rather amused look right there-- is she telling the truth? Maybe. She leans back a little, flashing the green ring on her finger as she shifts.]

Though I wonder what it is you consider "indulging", 'zactly.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Engaging in something other than my work, generally.

[He looks a little suspicious at her insinuation -- he'd been drinking for a while before she showed up, after all -- but he dismisses it.]

I take it you were given a green ring as well?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh--

[she lifts her hand to look at her ring a little more closely]

I was, 'parently. You too, huh? You think everybody's got one?

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

Everyone I have met so far, yes. Although not all of them are green.

[he cocks his head, suddenly curious]

Can you remove yours?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Nope. [she gives a demonstrative little tug to the ring to show that it's well and truly stuck]

I take it this is an everybody-phenomena too, then.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. [puzzled] The Doctor was able to remove his.

Interesting. Has anyone told you of their uses yet?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Really? Huh. No, nobody told me. I figured they were for something, else why would they show up? D'you think it's to do with this place? I mean, besides the obvious.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

I am not sure. However... [he makes a gesture with his hand, and a miniature solar system appears, Gallifrey and her moons among them. They hover in the air, each of the two suns slowly orbiting the other, and in turn, the planets orbiting around them.]
