[There's a ginger on the screen, a pretty face with fiery eyes. When she speaks, it's with a Scottish accent and a bite in her words.]

Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit boring that we're on a spaceship that's not actually going anywhere? Where's the saphire planets? Where's the American Doughboys marching off to war?

Where's Rio! Why do I have the outfit for that if we're not even going!

[Amy sighs, frustrated. There's no way she's the only person who sees how lame this is.]

Even this ship isn't so impressive. Oh sure, it's big, but isn't it big on the outside too? What sort of a boring spaceship is that? Anyone could do that! The next thing you know, they'll be forcing us all to wear bow ties to make it seem interesting!

[Sorry Doctor, they're still not cool.]

Whatever. If anyone sees a Roman with a stupid face and a nose marching about, send him straight to room 021 » 003. That's the only thing that's going to make me like this ship better.

[ ... he's not sure if he should approach with caution or not. ]

Pretty sure we're going somewhere.

[Her bark is worse than her bite.

But the four psychiatrists that she actually did bite might say otherwise.]

Yeah, well it's sure taking its own sweet time.

What's a 'Doughboy'?

[comesalong]

American soldiers? World War I? Come on, don't tell me you haven't heard of them.

How would a ship be smaller on the outside than the inside?

[comesalong]

Good question! Only a very special ship could pull it off, with a Raggedy Man at the wheel.

That's a pretty specific fetish.

That only one man could fill.

Are you of Lady Lucrezia's Rome?

Lady Lucrezia?

[ sapphire planets + bigger on the inside + bow-ties = companion.

ooh, the doctor certainly has a type. ]

I'll keep an eye out. [ a grin. ] What's your name?

[comesalong]

Much appreciated.

I'm Amy. [Pond, Williams, Pond. It's always going to come back to Pond.] What's yours then?

[notthesecondworstfighter]

[There's a lot in there that he's not sure how to address, but one thing sticks out to him.]

You want the outside to be a different size from the inside? [An eyebrow raises.] I'm pretty sure it's standard for big ships to be big both inside and out. Boring to you for whatever reason, maybe, but anything else is impossible.

[...He thinks. But he's been proven wrong about a lot of these things lately so he's maybe a little unsure.]

[ex_inventive578]

Standard for you, maybe.

[video]

[comesalong]

Maybe I've seen impossible things. Including a ship that's bigger on the inside.

It's in Brazil, you don't really need a spaceship to get there. [ to rio, he means. ] And weren't most Roman guys known for having prominent noses?

voice;

[comesalong]

Sure, if you want to take the long way around. But who has time for that?

Now that you mention it, I think they were. I wonder if that started with him...

action because she just gave out her address on the network.

[ex_inventive578]

[ knock knock.

who's there?

the doctor.

doctor who? ]

[comesalong]

[She'd know that knock anywhere. The door slides open, and Amy just stares him down with hands on hips.

And then smiles and gives him a tug inside.]

Come here, you.

[faithlessly]

Huh, you're going at this with a whole different brand of bitching.

[ he's kinda impressed, amy. ]

[comesalong]

[Dean, she's just getting started.]

It needed saying, so I said it.

[refusing]

[Bow ties? Mention of things being smaller on the outside? Fondness for weird planets?

Oh.

Rose looks all kinds of curious and excited to be addressing all of this.]

You see sapphire planets often, then?

video

[comesalong]

[Yes, perfect. Let's get the gang together, meetings on Tuesday.]

Not as many as I was promised. Any chance we might be going to one?

[surrogates]

[ There's about a billion things he could say about this, but honestly, what he'd prefer to touch on ( honestly, he could comment on the bow ties thing but that seems too easy ) is well— ]

Do you frequently end up watching the Doughboys marching off to war?

[comesalong]

Usually just the once, but totally worth it.
