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.]

Well, in that case.

[and with her glass to her lips, she uses her other hand to flip him off. ...wow, Dorothy.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[yeah, very not impressed]

I was once in love with a woman who was certifiably insane, and most of the time she made more sense than you do.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

You understand crazy people better than you understand me? Think you might wanna take a nice long look in the mirror, sunshine, tell me who's the real crazy one.

[yet another sip from her glass. Isn't that thing empty yet?]

For someone so completely self absorbed as you, you don't have much self-respect, do you?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure your lack of coherency has a lot to do with me.

You're the one drinking like a fish and wandering about in---[gesture gesture]---that.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Your younger selves didn't seem to mind. Didn't mind at all.

[uh-oh. are we going there? we seem to be going there.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, they are young. Judgement's a bit skewed.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I wonder, what's changed, exactly? So I can tell Ears, that is. Lord knows I'd hate for him to grow up and turn into you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a pity, because one day he will.

[coldly] And once I become me, I won't like you anymore. Don't get me wrong, I don't like a lot of people. You're very...unoriginal.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! Seems like the people you do like end up being psychopaths. Or is that just the ones you sleep with?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I never said anything about sex, Dorothy.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Neither did I.

[goes to sip her drink again-- and it's finally empty. she carelessly tosses the glass away.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[watches the glass, shakes his head]

Actually, you did. Unless you were talking the literal term of "sleep", because then, yes, I did sleep next to her.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[she laughs-- a short, sharp bark of a laugh]

Lord, you're so dim! Think yourself superior to me, and you don't know anything!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[???]

Did I mention how the clinically insane make more sense than you do?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

You don't get people, and you never will. You're the broken one.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that? You're the one who went running and screaming when I arrived as we agreed on your home world.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[oop, there it goes, he finally got her. she goes stonefaced just about instantly]

I told you. I told you and you never listen.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You told me we could meet up there and talk. Now we're both trapped here.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

You violated my world.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You told me I could arrive. Wouldn't have been holding your hand when we left the Plane otherwise.

And then you tried to kill me.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

No I did not. You told me to hold your hand, to trust you, you said we'd find out how merged we were somehow. You told me nothing, and then I went back to my home and you were there. I told you, I told you and I told you, I did not want you in my world.

[she shudders, remembering it. The anger is starting to boil in her stomach again, a sick, bile-thick feeling. She hates it.]

You tricked your way in anyway, so I did what I had to do. Don't you dare try and put me in the wrong.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[looks at her with a whole lot of contempt]

You're completely mental. I've never done anything to you, Dorothy. Not a thing.

You don't want me in your world? Fine. Stay out of my way. But if you touch even one person in an effort to "do what you have to do", you will deal with me. And violations of your world will be the last thing you have to worry about.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[at this point, Dorothy's so mad she's spitting her words at him like they're poisonous.]

You're threatening me?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Think of it as a suggestion. Not to react the way you did.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[she gapes at him. Her REACTION was the problem??]

I wouldn't have had to if you hadn't raped my--

[abruptly, she stops talking and buries her face in her hands. her entire body is shaking.]
