✙ 3 - Allergy season has begun!

[dissedthesonic]

[It starts with a sneeze.

...Well, technically it doesn't.

But the sound of a sneeze signals the arrival of one man who looks like he's seen better days--or in the very least, one who could do with a hot shower and a cup of tea. For one, Rory looks like he's run a marathon, and for someone who's sneezing, sniffing rather loudly, and desperately looking around for a handkerchief on his person all while trying to breathe, well, that's quite the feat.

Secondly, he's covered in a blue, dusty film, and now that he's giving up on his search, he removes his coat, giving it a good shake. It does disperse some of the crud on it, sending it flying into the air, but for the most part, it continues to cling to the fabric.]

Oh come on, get off! [He frowns, looking at the stuff collecting on the hairs on the back of his hand, then lets out a sigh.] I must look like a smurf... [A groan leaves his lips as he pictures the Doctor and Amy's reaction to his predicament.]

[Clutching his coat in hand, he gets his bearings--the kitchen and bar are the nearest places--but he starts walking for the onsen, unaware of what exactly he's brought to the Plane...]


[ooc: And here it all begins! Feel free to catch Rory as he makes his way to get a bath (he'll figure out clean clothes in a bit), but also, please go ahead and use this as a general mingle post! Hay fever symptoms can start hitting here, and for those going through changes (see here for the full plot info!), any posts made after this one can be ones dealing with the changes and whatnot. I'll post again in the ooc comm in a week's time when the pollen will be completely gone. But for now, have fun!]

[Morgana is startled by the appearance. She sneezes when some of the spores come her way, but she waves it off.] Are you all right?

[punkblaze]

[Have an Eithan, a few paces off. He was fine, until he managed to walk right through a cloud of blue. djafkl He sneezes once, then starts coughing a little because ew he thinks that maybe some of it went into his mouth. Just his luck...]

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana covers her mouth with her hand.] Do you need something to drink?

[punkblaze]

N-Nah. [Cough!] I'll be fine. Thanks, though. Ugh. The hell is that stuff? I better not have swallowed it.

[dissedthesonic]

[he stops upon hearing her familiar voice] I--[he quickly turns his head and sneezes]--I'll be all right.

[sniffs] I think.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Instinctually, she reaches up to cover her face.] Are you sure? What happened? You look like you walked through a room full of powder.

[dissedthesonic]

No, I didn't walk into any room. It's--hold on. [He hopes the inside of his jacket isn't covered in the stuff since he's now pulling the lapel up to wipe at his face. He's not exactly sure if it did any good, but it feels a bit better.]

I tripped and went rolling down this long hill. It must've been then because I certainly wasn't like this before. [If he sounds a little annoyed, it's because he is. That was a really long and bumpy hill and he's probably got bruises all over that he isn't feeling just yet.]

all of the late I am so sorry '''orz

[ Kiran just came back from showing Oliver around Sanctuary and he comes back to... all of this pollen?? He uses his scarf to cover his nose, but so far, he has to show any real reaction to any of it. ]

Wow, I thought Spring was over, what's happening?

no problem

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Apparently, Rory was caught on a very blue planet.

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

Bluer than blue alright, we'll all have blue faces from sneezing so much from all of these.

[ A brief pause and -- ] Wait-- pollen followed him from home?

[fallbythesword]

[Jacqli is, coincidentally, at the onsen! And hey, she's actually wearing a bathrobe. And yes, it's actually closed. She's just about to find a bath for herself when she sees him enter. She doesn't say anything, but... yeah, she can't help staring.]


((OoC: If anyone prefers, feel free to run into her after she leaves the onsen instead, just specify! ♥))

[dissedthesonic]

[uh, yeah...he's suddenly feeling very self-conscious now being stared at.] Erm...hello. [short pause while he sneezes] I do look awful, don't I? Do you know if they're all full up? [he wipes at his nose, pointing ahead at the rooms and baths beyond]

[fallbythesword]

No. There's plenty of room. There always is, thankfully.

[She's studying that blue stuff all over him.] Is it poisonous? [... Is that her way of asking if he's okay??]

[grip_on_reality]

[Menzies in the bar catching up on paperwork (she does this a lot). it's not too long after Rory's arrival that the dispersing pollen makes it to her, and she stops in the middle of a sentence for a sneeze]

Ugh. [she sniffs, taking a drink before she goes back to what she was writing, and mutters:] Great, now the bar in space 'as a draft. [she sighs, scratching absently at the back of her neck, and goes back to her paperwork. anyone care to interrupt?]

[tricksterofthelord]

[Gabriel would gladly do that, but wait- sneeze-- ah- oh no, alright, avoided perfectly. How lame would have been if he sneezes in the middle of his flirting.]

Hello there, Menzy. Working again I s-- [Achoo! ........ damn.] New perfume, sweetheart...?

[grip_on_reality]

[oh joy, him again. she snorts] Not from me. Sure you didn't track something in with you?

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie is just coming out of the kitchen when he's accosted by a cloud of blue stuff - and an unfamiliar word.]

Hey, what's a...ah...ah...

[He sneezes rather violently, enough to make his eyes water, and it takes him a moment to recover enough to finish his question.]

What's a smurf?

[dissedthesonic]

[Rory will seem very different to Jamie considering the last time they met? Rory was a plastic Centurion. Loads have changed since then...

Before he answers that, he takes a great big sniff before he gets the idea to grab a paper napkin or something from the kitchen]

Never heard of a smurf? They're cartoon characters, maybe about this tall, and they're all blue except for their hats and trousers. [He holds his fingers up with a small distance between them.] You're Jamie, right?

[bonnypiperlad]

I've not seen many of those cartoon things. [Jamie rubs at his nose, trying to get it to stop itching. Since he's gotten some of the cloud on his hands, though, that just makes it worse and he sneezes again.] Och.

[And while Rory looks different, it could be just as easily from the change of clothes - or blue film he's currently covered in.] Aye, I am. Rory, isn't it? Where did all this blue stuff come from, anyway?

[ex_dragonnerd309]

[Hiccup's getting Fishlegs vibes from you, Rory, and that means that 'alright, this fella will get hurt or worse if no one's helping them'. While Hiccup's busy with his own things right now, he still has time to just... make sure you're alright. So, he's standing not far, watching Rory a bit concerned for now.]

[dissedthesonic]

[Rory just so happens to turn his head and sneeze in that direction (don't worry, he's covered his mouth), so he catches sight of the young man looking at him]

Oh! Sorry 'bout that. Is everything all right?

[ex_dragonnerd309]

Uuh, no, I should ask that... I mean I-I'm fine, yes, it's just... are you alright? You're all... blue. Or is that natural?

[hisoldgirl]

From where did you come to have that film about you?

[it isn't bothering her at all, but she is so curious]

[dissedthesonic]

Erm...[He stops and thinks about it for a moment, trying to remember what the Doctor called it in that explanation of his when they first stepped out onto the planet.] I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of it. It was this all-blue planet. Blue dirt, blue trees, blue animals... It wasn't called "Blue"; that much I do know.

[hisoldgirl]

[all blue everywhere? ah, she knows] Eiffel 65, I believe you mean. A curious planet. [tilts her head] Did you enjoy your excursion?
