18; Just think of the happiest thing...

[The Doctor is a naturally curious individual.]

[and, well, if you're not aware, the new ring he's found gives him a few, minor powers.]

[one of which is flight.]

[which is awesome.]

[when he can control it. Now is not one of those times.]

[Cue a falling Time Lord, to crash into the nearest bush.]

Ow.

[at least it broke his fall.]

A bit like magic, yeah. But you know Clarke's Law.

[looks at her ring curiously] Interesting. It's different than mine, but still not something you'd see at your everyday trinket shop.

[Dru doesn't know who Clarke is, and gazes unblinkingly at the Doctor.]

Is it about nasty boys who weave puzzles with their tongues?

Actually, it's "Any advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic".

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound as pretty.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Technology can be beautiful, Drusilla. Like this ring.

[She strokes the ring reflectively. She is rather fond of the thing.]

But it can be wicked as well. I've never seen it shine before. Is there darkness underneath, or will she get three wishes when she tries to rub it clean, hmmm?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, you might. Made a wish myself and ended up floating.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

[chanting] If wishes were fishes we'd swim in the sea.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, depending on the sea, might swim anyway.

[offers her his ring] You want to try it?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

[Drusilla nods. Not because she's considering theft or because of scientific curiosity, but because it is rather pretty.]

You can try mine ...

[Except she can't seem to get it off.]
