✙ 3 - Allergy season has begun!

[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!]

[blandly] Yeah, not interested.

[she sneezes, too] Ugh, you've got me. Maybe the owners are doing some redecorating. [annoyed, she scratches her neck again. it's oddly itchy all of a sudden]

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-02 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frowns and looks around.]

Now, honey, that might not be that simple, if the precious owners are indeed involved. [Empties that Scotch with one go, because better be prepared... And maybe because of her twitching, but he scratches his elbow too. Strange.]

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-02 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[darkly] Which is exactly why I didn't say what they're redecorating.

[she sneezes again, rubbing her nose]

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-02 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Had trouble with them too? [Offers a box of tissue, just out of the blue, absently scratching his forearm.] Talk to me, Menzy. Let's bitch at them together.
grip_on_reality: (Doubting)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-02 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Cheers. [she takes a tissue, turning to blow her nose. ugh]

What 'ave they done to you, then?

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-02 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gabriel helps himself with some tissue too.]

If I want ta be really dramatic 'bout it I'd say they were kicking me in the nuts with a metal boot. Painful and humiliating, all the fun. [Beams.] Your turn, sugar.
grip_on_reality: (Unconvinced)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-02 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[wryly] Not real big on details, are you? [she takes a drink]

Right, well, I told you about the candy before. I got to enjoy that, too--couldn't get near anybody without them experiencing bad luck. I've 'ad another experiment since. [sour] Someone obviously enjoys what they put us through.

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-04 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hey it's just fair, I was talking about sensitive areas here. [Motions with his hand holding the drink.]

[Winces.] Ya're having it bad too, babe. Annnd now they're at it again, huh? [Looks around.] You know, I'm a god, it means I act like an allergic wuss when I want to and not when something's making me to.
grip_on_reality: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-05 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[so no details, then. she rolls her eyes]

[and she quirks an eyebrow at that name, but she isn't going to rise to it. she is interested at his comment about allergies, though]
So you've never 'ad a cold or allergies, 'ave you?

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-05 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[It was indeed a sensitive thing for Gabriel, trampling all over his manly ego, so he'd really not talk about it. He's a child like that. He just gives you his most charming smile. But then, serious matters.]

Never. I leave that to you humans. Sooo, if this thing can make me perform the Sneeze Piece, then it could be just a bit more powerful.
grip_on_reality: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-06 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[she frowns] Seems a bit frivolous, don't you think? What does anybody gain from us getting a bit sniffly? Unless this is leading to something more. [she sighs, not liking that thought] I suppose we'll find out.

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-06 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Gabriel chuckles a little. He has a few tricks that starts with being stuffy nosed after all. But it's only funny when he's the reason, and not the victim.]

I don't want to find out, honey. [Finishes his drink.] The place's obviously filled with something so I'm gonna hit the road. Comin'? [And insert some eyebrow wriggle here.]
grip_on_reality: (Attitude)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-07 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Menzies just gives him a look. then she picks up her drink and continues it. what do you think, Gabriel?]

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-07 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Menzy. [Gabriel tries on his sweet voice now.] You can still go and ignore me at an other place too.
grip_on_reality: (Understanding)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2012-09-08 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[she doesn't even bother to look up, though she says pleasantly:] I could do--but I won't.

[personal profile] tricksterofthelord 2012-09-09 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know what you're missin'. [He sighs, but winks at her before he gets up from the stool to leave.]
