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. We're decently spread out.

I live in a house in Odin district together with them, and someone from my future named Oswin. You don't happen to know of her?

[ He can't be sure if he's mentioned Oswin to River or if he's done that yet for her, but might as well check. ]

Oh, I don't suppose there's room for one more in his house of the Doctor and his companions?

[Hint. Hint. HINT]

Oswin? Oh, you've told me about so many adventures it's hard to keep track sweetie.

I'll see what we'll do about that. And Oswin is... Well, she met me. It's not really my story to tell.

[ Which means it doesn't have a good ending. ]

Did you know the Daleks have an Asylum?

No, I didn't.

[But the thought that the Daleks had a concept of insanity vs. sanity definitely seemed to bother her]

To be honest it doesn't make much sense. They see themselves as the ultimate race....

Edited 2012-12-08 20:47 (UTC)

I was surprised too. Oswin said something about the beauty in hatred.

It must be a horrid place where they keep any defective Daleks...

Must be...

[ But, okay, enough of that. ]

Brilliant girl she is, Oswin. Absolutely brilliant.

Planning on taking on another companion, Doctor?

[She stops just in front of the Welcome hall and glances at him]

So what were you saying before about not being able to stay very long?

[ He shrugs. He can't really take her on, but that's a part of the story that isn't his to tell. So. ]

The gods don't like people spending time in Welcome Halls that aren't their own House's. It'll get painful eventually.

That sounds absolutely barbaric and a bit like the deities are jealous of each other.

[She locates her room soon enough and ushers him inside]

Right then. Shall we try holding hands? Bit tame, but....

[Have a flirtatious smile]

The Houses have food and such for free, they might not want just anyone coming in and living off that. At least, that's my guess.

[ He steps further into the room and peers around for a moment before he turns to River, an eyebrow raised. ]

It's an as good start as any.

[She sits down on the edge of the bed and reaches for his hand, linking their fingertips together with a thoughtful frown]

I'm not entirely sure how all this works.

[Shouldn't be too different from regeneration, should it? Then again she wasn't sure she should ask the Doctor that question]

What do you think about when you're healing someone?

I just think that I heal them. It's not so complicated. Force of will.

Alright, I'll give that a try. With the intention to transfer energy of course.

[She closes her eyes for a few minutes, takes a deep breath, and tries to imagine energy flowing from her body into his.

Except nothing was happening]

Think we should move on to snogging now?

[ Well, then. The slightest jerk of his head, as he moves his hands to grip hers more properly. ]

We do have to try something.

Maybe we should try both hands?

[She shifts backwards on the bed to make room for him and sits with her legs crossed, facing him with both of her hands outstretched]

I'm really trying here.

I know you are.

[ He moves onto the bed after her and - surprise! He'll actually kiss her first. Because he's curious if that'll work, mostly, but also because he just felt like it. ]

[Well clearly River was the one startled by a sudden kiss for once. Savor it while it lasts Doctor because she only holds still for a moment or two before her lips are pressing back against his.

Her hands found hands again, but this time it was only their palms that touched as her eyes slid shut and she focused on pushing energy out of her body and into his. A startling amount transferred to the Doctor, enough to make her a bit light headed when she pulled back, her lips tingling]

Success!

[ Oh. Oh. As if there needs to be more energy in River's kisses!

Of course, this is a lot more literal, and it feels funny andm yes, tingly, but, wow, he can imagine that's very handy in battle. It's as if he would have slept for a few hours. ]

That's brilliant!

[ He just. Ruffles her hair. Her lovely, lovely hair. Oh, he's rather missed it. Missed her too, of course.

Suddenly he's feeling giddy. Interesting. ]

And? How do you feel?

[She could see the change in him immediately. It was like someone had given him the time lord equivalent to a sugar rush and she couldn't help smiling when he ruffled her curls]

Bit lightheaded and tingly, but not nearly as bad as -

[That time in Berlin when she'd poured all of her regenerative energy into him]

Never mind. Alright so I gave you some energy, now I need to practice learning how to take it back, yes?

[ Ah, he knows a spoiler when he hears one. And he's itching to ask, but he knows he won't get an answer so he'll press that itch down. ]

Yes, I suppose you might as well do that too.

You shouldn't feel as drained since I'll just be taking back the extra energy I gave you.

[Right. She's just going to lean in and surprise him with a swift kiss. Her hands coming up to grip his shoulders this time. It took her a bit longer to concentrate, mostly because she wanted to sit here and snog him for as long as possible, but eventually she found enough clarity to start to pull the energy she'd given him from his body. It was a reverse energy transfer, but even after it was finished she still kept her tingling lips pressed to his]

[ He doesn't have time to really answer, but he does make a noise against her lips instead before he responds to it, moving one hand to stroke his fingers over her jaw and into her hair. The other hand just kind of hovers, though, because he can't figure out what to do with that one so he'll just... focus on the kiss.

It'll do. ]

[She waited until they were both fairly out of breath before breaking the kiss with a soft gasp]

Mm, now that's better. Feeling less light headed this time around.

[ He takes a slow breath. ]

Good.

[ After a moment's pause, he leans in just slightly further to lean his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. This is... nice. ]
