[Mu is hanging out near the theatre with a pile of, what is, presumably, a cloth. It's gold, but seems a bit...curlier than Aries. He's not repairing it, since he has none of the things he'd need for that, but nevertheless, there is a tiny hammer in one hand, which he's using to lightly tap out imperfections on the surface. He seems very lost in what he's doing, though occasionally, something in the task will give him a moment's pause, or, rarely, smile.


Clearly, the best thing to do here would be to bother him. ]

They can try. But even if fear did not paralyze them, there would be little they could do. A Saint fights on levels a normal human can barely fathom, let alone reach.

[oliverplus]

A Saint?

But you said you're human. You help, don't you?

[lamb_of_gold]

A Warrior of Athena. We're human, yes, but we've devoted our entire lives, often from early childhood, to training our bodies and our cosmos to fight these threats.

[oliverplus]

[frowns--that sounds like a sad life to live, being a warrior ever since childhood, but it's not his place to comment]

So what happened to your armour? [gestures at Leo] You weren't hurt, were you? And...what do you mean, "cosmos"?

[lamb_of_gold]

Oh, Leo is not mine. I am the Saint of Aries. I'm just finishing healing this cloth.

Cosmos, I will explain another time, I think. Healing cloths is energy consuming at the very best of times.

[oliverplus]

[oops, his curiosity was getting the better of him] Ohhh, sorry! I should let you work.

[lamb_of_gold]

It's quite alright.

[oliverplus]

Well, it's been good to meet you! But I get the feeling somebody must need that armour--uh, cloth--back.

[lamb_of_gold]

Time is one of the more convenient aspects of this place.

[oliverplus]

Ah yeah, that's true. But I don't want to tire you out. Just...your world sounds really different. It's cool! I mean, worrying, too, but it still sounds cool.

orz. sorry for late!

[lamb_of_gold]

You're not the first to say that, in some way. Perhaps it's because I live in it, but it doesn't seem at all spectacular to me.

No problem!

[oliverplus]

You've got living armour! How could that not be amazing?

[lamb_of_gold]

I've taken every breath in such a world. There are those here who travel through time. I find that rather amazing.

[oliverplus]

[laughs] That's especially amazing to you, huh? Well, I guess I've gotta agree--time travel is definitely incredible. But it's probably possible in your world, too. I think it's one of those things that's out there, but you don't know until you get sucked into it.

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps, but it doesn't seem like such a thing could happen outside the work of Gods.

[oliverplus]

Oh, I'm sure there're plenty people in the universe who've tried to call the Doctor a god. Probably plenty he let do it, too.

I'm guessing he's who you mean, talking about time travel. Really, he's amazing because of that and a billion other things.

[lamb_of_gold]

You know him too, then?

But I mean Gods. Or, more likely, Titans, since Chronos controls time.

[oliverplus]

Yeah! I travelled with him for a while. Well, not any of the ones that are here, but the Doctor all the same. [smiles fondly--and perhaps a bit sadly]

Ohhh, yeah. That makes sense. I bet Chronos'd know a thing or two about time travel for sure. But I'm distracting you again. [looks a little guilty]

[lamb_of_gold]

Oh?

It's quite alright.

[oliverplus]

Well...you know about there being more than one, right? I mean, not just of the same person, but Doctors who look different?

If you're sure. Is that all it needs? [gestures at the hammer]

[lamb_of_gold]

I believe so.

No, but Leo can wait some, I think. [He seems TERRIBLY amused by this]

[oliverplus]

He was one of those--a Doctor with curly hair and big teeth and a really long scarf.

Oh. If you say so! [glances at the armour, wondering if it's going to react, being alive and all]

[lamb_of_gold]

I suppose he's changed some since then.

Leo is terribly impatient. Waiting will do it some good.

[oliverplus]

[snickers] You could say that, yeah!

[laughs]

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah, it's master would be yelling at me if I told him that.
