1st Spoiler

[The form of a woman with a wild mane of blonde curls appears on the video feed. Unlike other new arrivals, she doesn’t seem to be panicking. Not in the least. After all her travels with the Doctor, this is just another adventure for her. A new world to explore. Regardless, she's remarkably calm and collected]

Right, somehow I've been transported to a sacred city called Asgard. Not sure what planet I'm on or even what time period. The maid didn't mention anything beyond the city and the district she sent me to. She did say Freya is my patron God.

[She frowns in thought, sliding a fingertip across her bottom lip]

Freya. That name rings a bell. Norse mythology if my memory serves me right, which it usually does. I'm not entirely sure what her story is though. I suppose I'll learn soon enough now that I'm here!

[She snaps out of her trance with a smile and a curt nod of her head]

Anyway, enough of my incessant rambling. I should introduce myself. I'm Professor River Song, archaeologist and occasional time traveler by trade.

[Her smile widens into a sly grin]

Actually, I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a man who calls himself the Doctor? He usually travels with a female companion. Thing is, he can have different faces and forms so I can't properly describe him.

Doctor, if you're here and you get this message, contact me immediately.

[ No, he's not so sure she should be that startled, and he gives her a confused expression for a moment but... pretends to move on. Right then.

He'll have to figure that one out. ]

Oh, yes. My predecessor is here, the one with the suit and spiky hair.

[ He lifts a hand to wriggle his fingers behind his own head. ]

Not sure how they manage it, but they do.

Suit and spiky hair? Wait a minute.

[She hadn't met any version of the Doctor that matched that version, but the Doctor had given her some pictures of his earlier regenerations. It took her a few moments to locate the picture of Ten]

Oh! You mean your previous regeneration.

[Hold on a minute]

There are two of you here? That's impossible. Not to mention it's not even my birthday....

[Why yes, she's flirting]

[ Okay, she hasn't met that one yet. Still a decent while until... Yes. Then.

He'll happily flirt along, to distract himself from that thought. ]

Well, I haven't seen you in a while...

Interesting. How long have you been here? Because I could swear I just saw you moments before I woke up here.

[Further more, they had another problem on their hands]

How much does this younger version of you know about me? Because I have enough trouble guarding my spoilers from one of you. Two of you from two different points in time is going to complicate things.

Time travel, honey. It's not that strange. Doesn't usually happen exactly this way, true, but it's not very different.

[ A pause. He just needs a moment - not the best at keeping track of the days most of the time. Not without trying, that is. ]

It'd be one and a half month or so now. And I haven't told him anything, but he has met you. He was taken... right at the moment of regeneration, [ creates a mess, that, ] so he knows you well enough.

You've been here for that long and you haven't gone mad?

[She knew how he hated being stuck in one place for too long]

Well I don't know him just yet. Shall we just say I'm a future companion then? He doesn't really need to know anything else does he?

I'm as surprised as you are.

[ He's been keeping himself busy, somehow. ]

I'm pretty sure he's not going to fall for that one.

We don't need to tell him anything in particular.

Well how am I suppose to know how much he knows when I haven't properly met him yet?

[Sigh. The life of a time traveler's wife]

He'll have questions. You always have questions when you're younger.

Which is why I'm telling you!

[ Honestly, River. ]

All you've got to do is wave off the questions like usual. Spoilers.

Or you could actually tell him, seeing as it won't harm any around here. I know a decent bit from my future, no universe explosions yet.

I think I'll go for the spoilers route. It's served me well in the past.

I suppose the question remains, will any of us remember this place when or if we ever leave?

Supposedly, we forget everything.

I see.

[That left a lot of possibilities, but then again it was still better to edge towards the rules the Doctor had established between them]

I won't tell him unless you tell Amy. If they find out, they should find out together.

Mm.

[ Absent nod. He can go with that. ]

Rory should have a say too.

Of course he can have a say. Now, tell me what patron god did they assign you?

Sigyn.

Freya for you doesn't surprise me one bit.

Sigyn? I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty when it comes to Norse mythology. I'll have to brush up on that, considering where I am.

"A kind and compassionate soul", supposedly. Haven't talked to her yet. Wants to help people, goddess of hearth and home.

[ A moment's pause, and then he perks up as if suddenly remembering something. ]

I have Healing. I can really heal people! Physically.

Oh that's you in a nutshell, sweetie. Minus the 'hearth' part because you never stay in one place.

[How very fitting, she can't help grinning]

Sounds amazing, sweetie. Apparently I've gained the ability to do energy transfers.

Ah, yes, how do those work again...

[ He absently scratches his temple. ]

I'm not entirely sure. The maid didn't explain much.

[It couldn't be that different from regeneration, could it?]

Touch, perhaps?

Probably... Freya is the goddess of love. And... fertility.

Edited 2012-12-05 21:19 (UTC)

In that case....

[Have a coy grin]

It'll probably have to be a kiss.

Should probably try the touching first. So you don't go and kiss some poor unsuspecting person you don't or barely know.

Why? Would that make you jealous, Doctor? It's not as if I haven't snogged others before. Hallucinogenic lipstick, remember?

[Why yes, she's grinning]

No, I'm not the jealous type. I was thinking about those people. Not that you're... bad at snogging, but I don't know if everyone would appreciate it even so.
