[Arthur is currently trying, and failing, to busy himself with his work. He's failed at being able to properly focus on anything for some time now, which is part of the reason he's come to the Plane; it wouldn't do, to fall behind so much in his reality.

To accomodate for the heavy snowfall, he's made himself at home under the giant tree he brought a while back, papers in one hand and a pen in the other. He also happens to turning thirty nine today! The idea of growing old, sadly, doesn't really seem to help ease his nerves, but at least he's not forty. Yet]

[Now, Arthur isn't exactly the happiest of people. He has his good days, his bad days, and of course a general feeling of denial regarding several aspects of his life. But today is of particular note, and sadly not for good reasons.

He seems a little jumpy (More so than usual), idly fumbling with his watch as he paces around the Plane. Every so often he'll look over his shoulder, then just frown and shake his head. Though he seems more alert than usual, there's still a distraction about it, as if he's not quite sure what to focus on]

[Arthur doesn't look to well right now. In fact, he's actually bedridden. He's also supposed to be resting, but well, he's a bit of a workaholic.

So he's chosen a relatively secluded part of the Plane to bring his bed. He's done his best to get dressed properly, and has managed for the most part, except for looking far from his usual composed self. His work is spread out on the bed and he keeps looking between papers, scribbling down notes on another. Every so often he'll turn and cough into a handkerchief, or try to hold back a sneeze. He mostly fails at the latter.

But, despite all this, even a cold can't keep Arthur from his work]

[so the Cortina appears suddenly on the Plane with one very irate Gene Hunt getting out of the driver's side and screaming across the hood at whoever is in the passenger side. this person is not a member of CID, surprisingly. unsurprisingly is that Gene is upset with someone not from CID]

The hell you think you're doing you bloody bastard?!


[The person in question, in fact, is Arthur. He's pulled along by the leg and forced to climb out through the driver's seat, looking flustered and maybe even a bit annoyed]


I'm sorry, but there was a tree right there. You were close to hitting, so I acted on impulse....

You don't touch the Cortina, you hear me? I'm the one who drives her, not you. [sniffs] And I wasn't anywhere near a tree you div. The roads were perfectly clear.

I'm perfectly happy to leave the steering to you, Mr. Hunt, believe me. But I saw it. There was a tree, and we were heading straight for it...

Liar. I don't hit anything when I drive. You were seeing things, you bloody kook.


[On reflex, he pushes his glasses up] I was not seeing things. It was there. [A long sigh] Why are we arguing about this, still? Nothing happened to your automobile.

That's not the point. You don't. Touch. My car. Do it again and I'll have you locked up for meddling with police property.
.

...wouldn't you be locked in the cell right along with me?

Not if I removed your foot.

[Instinctively, he tries to take a step back]
You can't do that!


You're interfering in police business. I can do whatever I want so long as it lets me do my job.


Well, you're interfering in University business, yet I've agreed to follow you around to your job as long as I'm allowed to do my work.


We'll see about that.

[There are several piles of snow on the Plane today. There's enough of it to cover a small section of the 'floor' in it, as well as scatterings here and there. Arthur is sitting in the middle of it, dressed appropriately for the cold, at least, with a heavy winter jacket and large snow boots. His cheeks are a bright red, though whether this is because of the cold or the scotch currently being filtered by his body is anyone's guess.

There are tuffs of snow on his hair and clothes, but these are ignored in favor of the drawing in the snow he seems to be working on at the moment. Equations, to be exact] 
[Experiment start, as well~]

[Arthur sits at his desk, hunched slightly forward, his head resting somewhat on his hand. He's got a history book opened up in front of him, several more stacked around him. Its opened to one of the chapters regarding World War II.

His expression is hinted with confusion, sadness, and anger. But mostly, he just looks very tired. In his left hand is the pocket watch, and h keeps flipping the face open and close, never really looking at it]

[Arthur is pacing on the Plane, dressed in a much nicer suit than usual. He seems to be muttering something to himself, and pauses a moment to look down at his tie, frowning he undoes it completely, then slowly begins to retie it.]   -terms space and time have not only a vague descriptive reference to a boundless void and an ever-rolling stream, but denot the exact quantitative system of reckoning distances and time-intervals...[He finishes and seems satisfied for a moment, then just sighs and begins all over again]

[Arthur appears on the Plane, looking very different to how he usually dresses. His hair is parted to the side, and his glasses have been replaced with thick, coke-bottle lenses. He's wearing a stripped polo shirt, a  fleece vest, and khaki pants.

There's also an inhaler in his hand, and he seems at quite a loss as to what to do with it.]
 This is....unusual.

[A big tree can be seen on the Plane, it's roots seeming to dig into the 'floor' itself. Arthur is currently sitting under it, his bike a few feet away. He had a run in with the tree a few minutes ago when a sudden car horn startled him, and it's pretty clear who won.

He looks more than a little bruised, and is currently trying to wipe at a particularly nasty-looking cut, mumbling under his breath about reckless drivers]

[Arthur has been riding his bike on the Plane. He has no particular destination in mind, but seems to be simply riding around. He comes to a stop in front of the Astral bar, looking at his watch.]

That's about  two hours worth of riding, and I still don't seem to reach an end. Considering I've been keeping up an average pace of about thirty two kilometers per hour, riding out for half an hour longer each day, and today's the twenty eight.....that's a hundred and sixty kilometers, and still haven't reached some sort of end.

[ooc: Unofficial birthday post! According to records, December 28th is Eddington's birthday. Unfortunately, he happens to be Quaker, and thus doesn't celebrate it. Still, I figured it deserved a post~]

[Arthur is on the Plane, sitting at his desk. There are papers strewn all over it's surface, most filled to the brim with scribbles of equations and notes. His pocket watch sits on one side of the desk, opened and facing upwards so that he can glance at the time more conveniently. On the other end, at the far right corner, is a cup of tea. It sits intact, and has long gone cold.

He looks a little worse-for-wear, a bit more disheveled than usual; clothes rumbled, his hair uncombed, and eyes with a touch of weariness to them. Arthur stifles a yawn, then sets back to work]

[Arthur seems quite startled as he appears on the Plane. For a moment, there is a look of confusion on his face, but it soon changes to one of delight] Oh, this is brilliant. Don’t recall having a dream like this before. [Gazing up, he begins to see what stars he can recognize] There’s Arcuturus, then Rigul. I don’t recognize any in that particular cluster… Even in the country, you can’t see stars as bright as these.

[Then he looks down at the ‘floor’. Rather than being scared that he is apparently walking on nothing, Arthur kneels, grinning as he traces constellations with his finger] There’s the Diamond of Virgo; Arcturus, Spica, Denebola, and Cor Caroli. The Big Dipper, of course. [then a frown as he pauses over a particular group of stars] Hold on. This is the Great Square of Pegasus, isn’t it? Shouldn’t be able to view these two at once. Diamond of Virgo is for spring, the Great Square of Pegasus for summer…..

A bit worrying, if my dreams have such simple mistakes.
