001 - A Bad Day For Everyone

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki Kirihara appears on the plane looking very, very pissed. Her Sig P230 is unholstered and leveled at…

…no one.]

Tch.

[She lowers the weapon, very slightly, taking in her surroundings. Or rather, the lack thereof.]

Contractor!

[She turns in a slow circle, tension wrapped around her like a creaking spring.]

Contractor! Show yourself. You’re being stupid. Using your power on a member of the NPA will get you killed. It isn’t worth the laugh.

[A pause. She’s starting to get angry again.]

Show yourself!

[She looks up, down, around at the stars, and a pained expression crosses her face. Barely audible, she mutters,]

You people… know how to be cruel.

Correct. [Insert practiced badgeflash here]

Section-Chief Kirihara, Public Security Bureau Foreign Affairs Section Four. The woman I'm looking for--she was hooded, cryptic, and irritatingly amused. Have you seen her?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head] I cannot say I have, no. Does this woman have a name?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

From what I've gathered, her name is Meredith Sault, and she has everything to do with my being here.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[tightens her lips] Is that so? I was under the impression it was the Twins who had brought us here, not this woman you speak of. I shall have to find out more and update my data banks, then.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She frowns.] From my brief interaction with them, I got the impression that that woman was the final authority. What can you tell me about the Twins?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Only that they are older even than I, so much so they've forgotten who they are, and they are familiar with Time Lord technology. They are responsible for our being here and are using us as ... experiments ... to better understand this nexus point we're trapped within.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Time Lord... You know the man who calls himself 'Doctor'?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

I do. He and I have been together a very, very long time. You've met him, I take it?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

He's an interesting person. You're the TARDIS, aren't you.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

He is, yes. [blinks] And I am. How do you know that?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

He told me about you. Briefly. Symbiotic space travel--it's remarkable. You must be close.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

He is everything to me, yes. [eyes her warily] Why was he discussing space travel with you? You are human, are you not?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I am, yes. He told me because I asked him. He seems very nice that way.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. What interest do you have in time travel?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[The TARDIS's brusqueness has her somewhat on guard.] Who wouldn't be interested in it?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[unfortunately, the TARDIS is rather like this with anyone who isn't the Doctor] It has been my experience that those who actively seek it out and wish to learn more are those who have the least business travelling among the stars.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Then it seems your Doctor is perhaps the least qualified creature in existence.

[Misaki does not know who or what she is dealing with, unfortunately enough for her.]

...

I'm joking, of course.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[narrows her eyes and does not stop, even with the joke comment] I fail to see how that is meant to be humourous.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Not used to people, she remembers the Doctor saying. Not used to people.]

It's my own particular humor. Unfortunately, most others never seem to get the joke. My apologies if you thought it rude. He is a good person, and I wasn't insulting him.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[is slightly mollified by this and nods] In that case, I suppose I can forgive you the slight. [tilts her head] What else has he told you?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki crosses her arms thoughtfully.] A... lot, actually. About the Master, and the Cybermen, and the Daleks.

[Her face softens.] I'm sure he was glad to have you through all that.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[makes a face that says exactly what she thinks of all those things, the Master in particular, then looks away and nods] He was, yes. And will be, as his timeline is my future.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She's starting to feel weirdly protective of this girl... ship... TARDIS.]

Which version of him are you traveling with now?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

His Eighth. We're trapped in the divergent universe with his girl, Charlotte. [sniffs]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You don't like her?
