Faceless maids, that's ... new. [Someone didn't hang around too long. But long enough, at least, to figure things out.]

Sorry, but I've got places to be.

[Oh, was she not actually talking to anyone over the bracelet? Because from the upward look of things, it might just have been some random ~~NPC~~ person. Or even the maid herself. Because almost just as quick, the feed ends.]

[ That's my girl. ]

Bad, too. Anything, and the more the better! They curse us to push it, sometimes. Generally harmless, and always - so far - temporary.

Any sort've emotion...

What sort've curse? Like ... Magic? [Skeptical.] Or they just try an' make us jump through fiery hoops; once more with feeling?

No such thing as magic, Rose. Just unexplained science.

[ He shrugs. ]

All sorts of things, I suppose. Shrinking people, they switched the bodies of me and someone else, [ himself, ] just recently, changing people's biological sex, etc etc.

[... Pinged. Except now she's caught on the precipice of choice; the slip of her name, which she knows she hasn't given out, yet (weren't the names not-obvious on here?), or the startling divulge of information about these 'curses'. Shrinking, body switching? Gender swap and-- Things she had no idea were even possible. At least, not as a 'curse' or whatever it was.

Decisions, decisions. If anything, she did seem a touch more wary. Her tone a little more clipped. But only just a little.]

'Course. [Unexplained science. That's all it ever was.] Shrinking, gender swap- those I can understand... Sort've. But switching two people's bodies? Completely?

Brainwaves. Just gotta switch things up a bit, not that difficult.

--no, that's a lie, it is difficult, but I'm not surprised they can do it.

Yeah, but there's a difference t'switching brainwaves an' making someone think they're someone else, and- becoming someone else entirely. That seems a bit more than just 'difficult'.

[More like nigh impossible.]

Oh, no! Did I say that? I didn't say that. We were still ourselves, just in the wrong body.

--Oh. Like. Like a brain swap or something? [...Well that makes a little more sense. Way 2 go, Doctor Dimwit.]

Alright. So that's clear, [or at least enough for her, for now] how'd you know my name? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I haven't given it out yet. T'anybody.

Yes, except you can't just move the whole brain.

[ G o s h. ]

Like I said, you've been here before. Although I know you from my own universe - our universe. But you don't know me, not... like this, not with this face.

[ That ought to be enough for her to go on. ]

[Hey look, she totally gets it. Cassandra had that weird ... brain inserter. It could totally be used both ways, right? Or at least, that sort of technology could explain a body ... swap. Thing.

And um. Oh. Their universe- he was from home. And definitely reusing words she's heard before in a way that nearly makes the air begin to suffocate in her lungs. But only for a moment. She's letting it out in a rather calming force of breath.]

So you... Older then? Since y'know me.

[Which means a lot of things she doesn't really feel like saying out loud. Not yet. Not when she can not say them and pretend they don't happen any time soon. At all. Maybe not until long after she's gone and died of old age.]

[ There.

This is a little calmer than the last go. Wonder how long that will stick.

He smiles, and nods. ]

Yeah.

[She's trying to remember the ups when he'd first changed on her. Which isn't working so well, since they'd all come a bit later. But, there had been quite a few ... differences, last time around.]

... At least you're not in a coma?

[Maybe she can ... be okay with it. She was completely fine (and once again head over heels) as soon as he'd woken up and gotten on with things. Maybe that's all it took? Just ... being him, was enough?]

Kinda like the bow tie, too.

No, falling into a coma while the TARDIS was crashing would have been very bad. I had cravings instead. And coordination problems, but that's not new.

[ He straightens up, just a bit, and fixes his bowtie. ~~Senpai noticed me!~~ ]

Good. Bowties are cool, far too few people understand that.

Not ... surprising, to hear you were in the midst of crashing. [Rly Eleven.] Cravings? I didn't see either of those when you woke up, last time.

[And here she chortles, just a bit.]

You did look a bit dashing when you wear it with a tux. [Oops, present tense.] Definitely like it.

[ What. ]

Yes, cravings. For apples. Turns out I don't like apples. Or I didn't, then, maybe I would now, I don't know.

[ She gets a wide smile for that. ]

Thank you. Quite the change from the leather jacket, isn't it?

What about pears? [Side eye.]

Just a bit- yeah. Bow ties and- that looks like tweed, in'it?

[ He takes a breath, pauses, purses his lips and-- ]

I don't know, I haven't tried pears yet.

[ Maybe he should... ]

It is tweed.

[That would be weird. Maybe later. Later to try pears sounds like a good idea.]

Always found it a bit itchy. [But anyway. She has a just-popped-in sort of question that needs answering.]

You said you switched bodies? Was that ... not as weird for you? [Considering the whole changing thing.] Or were you .. Did you end up human?

[Cause we all know how he hates that.]

I am human, right now. In every way except from my head. Mind.

[ He taps his temple a bit, grimaces. ]

One heart. The gods did it. Terribly rude of them, I gotta say. It's annoying to not have a body that works the same way it has for nine hundred years.

[ Definitely avoiding to answer. ]

Edited 2013-01-09 09:42 (UTC)

[It's definitely a good way to do so, good sir.]

What? You're- You're human right now? Like, since you got here? [Or did you do something naughty and get yourself in a pickle because that is just as likely.] Will they change you back?

[ A nod. ]

Physically, since I got here. I suspect they'll change me back once they send me home.

I hope so.

[Because while it would be ... nice, if not a bit weird, she quite likes her Time Lord with two hearts.]

... Is it weird?

[ As she should. That's when everything's right in the world. A Doctor with one heart and no TARDIS is everything wrong. ]

When it makes itself known.

[Well. There is one exception. One Rose doesn't fully know about yet, but. Generally speaking, yes. Doctor with one heart and no TARDIS is a very .. unsettling thing.]

So you're completely weirded out by it, then. [Armcross. Sort of. Bracelet talking is weird. Let's go for hand on the hip, instead.]

I've had two hearts for nine hundred years, of course I am.
