[Damon is on the Plane again, looking a little disheveled. That, combined with a fading bruise or two, might indicate to those in the know that he's just been harassed by certain members of the Chancellery Guard. He doesn't seem terribly bothered by it though. Actually, he appears to be working -- but he isn't. Instead, he's creating a few very tiny security cameras for his own purposes.]

I suppose this is what I get for working up the nerve to confront the Castellan. [sighs] At least I can have a few moments of peace here...perhaps I'll have a few more in the Citadel once I'm finished with these.

[his next words are rather bitter] Let's see how you enjoy being watched constantly, Commander Maxil.

[Braxiatel opts not to speak until he is right behind Damon, looking over his shoulder. Incidentally, he approached Damon quietly and stealthily. Does he do this naturally and accidentally, or is it a conceit he has picked up with the single purpose of freaking other people out? No one will ever know.]

Do be careful, Damon. You're in danger of expressing true emotion.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[asdflkj you're such a creeper, Brax. Damon is quite startled by his sudden appearance, and quite embarrassed by the observation] I'm sorry, Cardinal Braxiatel. It's difficult to keep it contained under the circumstances.

[collector]

I don't mind it. Others may. [Holding his hand out] May I see?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[smiles slightly] Fortunately, they're not here at the moment. [he carefully hands him one of the finished cameras] If you have any suggestions, I'd be delighted to hear them.

[collector]

I'm not a technician, Damon. I'm sure you know better than I ever could. [Still, he does know what he's doing as he examines the camera. With disinterest--] It never ceased to surprise me when I see a Gallifreyan with bruises.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[awkwardly] I'll be fine, Cardinal, it's nothing serious. Besides, it was my own fault.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Well, I had heard that Time Lords were the type who liked to watch. Not that I'm judging. Whatever gets you through the night, or century, or however it works for you lot.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon is just confused by your innuendo, Benny.] I'm not sure I understand your meaning. These are security cameras...I'm planting them in various places around the Security Compound so I'll know if the Chancellery Guard is about to barge into the computer room at any given moment.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[oh Damon~] That's all right. I didn't expect you to anyway.

Do the Chancellery Guard do that often? Barging in and all that nonsense, that is.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[sighs] More often than I'd like, yes. At least, ever since I helped the Doctor.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[surprise isn't often an expression he'll allow, but it'll do no harm here; it's appropriate

so his eyes widen when he sees Damon, smile curving into a concerned frown as he listens]

I could help with that.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon is rather surprised himself, but seeing the Doctor is obviously a pleasant sort of surprise.] Doctor! They told me you were here, but they didn't mention this particular incarnation of yours... [and then, he notices that something is wrong with this picture] Wait, why are you dressed in black?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[and the smile turns wry] Perhaps because I'm not your particular incarnation. I don't tend to wear beige. ...Or celery, for that matter.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[is Damon pouting? Possibly.] Are you an alternate, then? Like Omega?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid so. [his smile softens] I'm quite fond of you in my own universe, however.

[Barbara takes in the disarray, the injuries, the quiet resentment, and immediately decides she's on this guy's side, at least for now

she's a good judge of people, you see, and now Damon blatantly reads as a kicked puppy

so she approaches with a faint smile]

Watching is my speciality.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon eyes the wheelchair curiously, but he is polite enough not to ask her about it. Instead;] Is it really? Perhaps you could help me, then. These cameras are all I've been able to come up with for now -- I'm hoping they won't be discovered.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[notes this, and appreciates it; her smile widens as she comes closer] Well, they're smaller than most on Earth.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[and there's that Time Lord superiority] Of course they are, Earth's technology is primitive in comparison to ours.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[raises eyebrows] I did say most.

[bonnypiperlad]

[There's a rather curious Scotsman in the area, trying to get a look at those rather small and interesting looking cameras. Of course, he's not trying to be stealthy about it at all right now, so hopefully he won't startle Damon too much.]

Hey, what are those wee bitty things?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon is grateful for the lack of stealth -- he's been startled plenty today already. He gestures for Jamie to come closer if he likes.] These? They're security cameras. I'm trying to keep an eye on the Chancellery Guard, so I know when they're about to come barging into the computer room.

[bonnypiperlad]

Really?

[He does come closer, peering to get a better glimpse of them.] I've not seen cameras that look like that before. Why do ye want to keep this chance...chancellery guard out, anyway?

[Jamie stumbles a bit over the unfamiliar word, but doesn't seem too put out by it. Instead, he's considering the relative size of the cameras and what someone could do with them.] These bitty things do look like they would be useful if ye need to keep them hidden, though.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[a bit smug] That's probably because it's Gallifreyan technology. [and then he sighs] I want to keep them out because they've insisted on making my life miserable ever since I helped a very good friend of mine.

And yes, keeping them hidden is the objective.

[bonnypiperlad]

Gallifreyan? [Jamie looks momentarily dismayed as he recognizes the name, and has to wonder just how many Time Lords there are here. It explains the robes, though. (Not that he would comment on that, given that he's wearing a skirt kilt.)] Ye would be a Time Lord, then.

[He considers leaving, but it seems that he's going to have to deal with the situation as it stands. Besides, Damon does seem a little less intimidating to him. Maybe it's the bruises, or that he's readily admitting to being miserable. Whatever the reason, he chooses to stick around for the moment. And he does have to wonder...]

Which friend did ye say that was again?
