001; double arrival

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[two individuals appear on the Astral Plane at generally the same time - and by appearances, at least how they're reacting to each other, they know one another

one is female, a fiery ginger dressed in a suit and the other, male, is a rather stoic looking military officer in dressed proper military garb

the woman looks like she's about ready to give someone a firm yelling at while the man simply glances around him]

Then you've got a challenge on your hands. [fairly happy] So what's things like around here? Anything good about it?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Hah! Lookin' forward to it. [and he shrugs good-naturedly] Outside knowing we can't bloody well stay dead -- which isn't exactly good, since it means the baddies can't, either -- there's not enough good here for a good spit, no.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Death isn't permanent? How's that work?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Ask those freak Twins. They're the ones who did it.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I'll add that to my list of things. [thoughtful] I don't suppose there's a good pub around here?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Good pub? No. Decent one? [grins] Depends on if you like those sissy poofter drinks or some real booze.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[totally proud here] You've never seen me drink.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I don't make a habit of drinking with birds, but I'll make an exception for you, assuming you can prove yourself.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I think the burden of proof is on you, luv.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Hah! [grins, then nods] I'll take ya, then. C'mon.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[grins, following him] Lead the way, copper.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[does so, taking a seat at the Astral Bar and pouring himself a tall one, offering the rest to her] Unless you want something else?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[sits next to him and shrugs, taking the bottle] Good enough for me. I spent Christmas with bottles. [takes a swig] Not last Christmas, mind you. Previous one.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

That so? [takes a measured drink, watching her carefully, leaning on the bar casually] Don't seem like the type to have to find yourself on the bottle. Bloke do you wrong then?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[snorts a bit, taking a drink] It was sort of bad, yeah. Can't say I've ever really liked Christmas, anyway. There's a reason for that. It got resolved in the end. The hangover didn't last, at least.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[snorts] They never do. Can't say I'm much for holidays myself, though. Seems to me they're just a good excuse for scum to go about doing what they do and getting the bloody press to sensationalise it, to boot. Vultures, the lot of 'em. Could do without that lot just fine.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[nods] Yeah, I imagine it's harder on cops. I just hate the weather, aside from the rest of that. If it's going to snow, it may as well do it properly. Not any of that slush and mud.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Can't argue with you there. [nods to her and takes another drink] So what's a bird like you doing here, anyway?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I was with some mates traveling. We ended up stuck with some Beatles-worshipers. Wouldn't you know it, the lot we're with are the biggest Ringo fans you ever saw? I always liked McCartney better. His solo stuff's good. [she makes this sound relatively normal, yes]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

McCartney's got solo stuff?
