[May has been playing with the bracelet on and off for a while now, just getting to know how it works and such. She's pretty sure she has the hang of it at this point and so she decides she could make an appearance on the network.]

So, maybe it's just me but things seem really uhm...tense around here. Is it always like this or what?

There are good days and there are bad. I think we've just had a few more bad than good, the last little while.

[voice]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Huh, okay. That's good to know. I mean, considering why we're all here, I wasn't expecting peaches and sunshine or anything but I wasn't sure.

[voice]

[zen_en_vert]

The good news is it can only mean things might come 'round once more?

[voice]

[somethingmorethanfae]

This is true! I just don't really know what the baseline is to begin with, so I was kind of worried this was it.

[voice]

[zen_en_vert]

I can see how it would be an overwhelming environment to enter. More than it usually is, I mean.

[somethingmorethanfae]

Yeah, it's pretty weird. I mean, I do weird back home but everyone being several shakes of tense is not as common as it could be.

If you mean the general air of irritability... no, it isn't.

[The Doctor himself looks like he's annoyed and trying not to show it.]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Good to know.

So, what is going on around here? Or do we not know?

[goesagainst_thegrain]

It could be a great many things. The so-called gods might be doing this for reasons unknown, or it may be the enemy doing something once more.

Or it could be that we're all just having a bad week. At the same time.

[Stranger things have happened. Trust him.]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Good times. [It's said dryly, and with a shake of her head.]

So, we just what? Wait this out then?

[goesagainst_thegrain]

Unless you can think of a way to avoid something as-yet unidentified and unknown, yes. Unfortunately.

Personally, I would suggest you start locking your door at night if you don't do so already. If you're inclined to sleepwalk, it may help to stop you from leaving your room.

[And stop anyone else from coming in, but he won't mention that.]

[somethingmorethanfae]

I'll keep that in mind.

I'm used to being on the fringes of this stuff, you know? It's weird to be in the dead center of it.

[goesagainst_thegrain]

I, on the other hand, am quite used to being directly in the center of whatever trouble is going on. Normally, however, I have a rather better idea what the trouble happens to be and how I can stop it. So I suppose you could say we're both having to get used to new situations.

I'm the Doctor, by the way.

[Whatever is going on, he might as well at least try to maintain what politeness he can.]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Great! If we find a few more people who are out of their element, we can make it a party.

May Daye. Nice to meet you. I mean, I wouldn't mind meeting you under different circumstances but still, nice to meet you.

[goesagainst_thegrain]

I was fairly certain that most people here were out of the elements, one way or another.

Mmm, that tends to be a rather common sentiment around here.

[somethingmorethanfae]

This is probably true. Well, at least I know I'm in good company, right?

[She laughs, shaking her head a little.] Not surprised in the least

[goesagainst_thegrain]

Something along those lines, yes.

[He doesn't quite chuckle, but he does sound somewhat amused.]

I wish I could tell you you'd get used to it, but I'm not entirely sure you ever do.

[somethingmorethanfae]

I'll get used to it. [A laugh.] I mean, I'm not going to get used to it in a few minutes or anything but I'll get there.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

No. Something's wrong.

[Video]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Right, I'll keep that in mind Do we have any idea of what yet?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

An attack on our minds, it looks like. Best be vigilant.

[somethingmorethanfae]

Good to know.

This is gonna be a fun few days, isn't it?

[comeonthensexy]

If we're lucky.

[ Longer if they're unlucky. ]

[somethingmorethanfae]

Yeah, well I'm gonna try an be an optimist. At least until the crushing weight of how horribly wrong I was comes crashing down.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh. Ah. ]



Yes. Yes, good. Someone should be.

[somethingmorethanfae]

[She gives him a thumbs up.] It's what I'm good at. That and occasionally smacking people when they're being dumb.

[comeonthensexy]

Also good.

[ When it isn't him. But really it is. ]

[somethingmorethanfae]

I'd like to think I am an asset to any team that wants me. [She grins a little]

[comeonthensexy]

I'm sure you are.

[somethingmorethanfae]

[She grins wide, even giving him a wink.] You know it. I'm not exactly sure if I want to be on a team right now, with..yeah. All this but hey, I'll make due.

[comeonthensexy]

We can't all stand for ourselves, either. That'll be our undoing.

[somethingmorethanfae]

Yeah, this is true. I'm definitely not going to argue that.

[comeonthensexy]

Good. I'd be a bit cross if you did.

[somethingmorethanfae]

Hey, sometimes arguing can be fun. Granted, when it makes people actually pissed it's not as much fun but y'know.

[comeonthensexy]

Yeah.

I know.
