TLV 9 - Video

[bodilesswarrior]

[There's something undeniably wistful about Barbara's smile.]

I was a knight for Halloween, once. Never thought I'd end up as the real thing.

[She shakes her head, casting it all aside. She won't dwell on how it felt to run again.]

Is everyone accounted for?

[Private to the Admiral]

I'd like a key to the engine room.

Comments

[routemistress]

...Got pictures?

[private]

First thing I thought, looking at 'er, were that I missed the real one. You were splendid, mind.

Private

[bargemods]

Granted.

[bodilesswarrior]

I do, actually.

[Private]

[Her smile deepens, and she bows her head a little.]

I - thanks.

[She looks up, eyes glinting.]

I would like to learn more swordplay now, though.

[ Private ]

[routemistress]

I'm waitin' to 'ear if we can keep the 'orses - if I get a yes on that we can do jousting an' all. 'Ow brilliant'd that be, eh?

Show me!

[fuckingvisions]

It was a bit of fun wasn't it all?

Wish I'd have seen you all decked out bet it was a sight to behold.

[routemistress]

Oh, Doyle, lovey, she were magnificent. I might've snapped a picture or two on me communicator.

[Which she won't show anyone unless Barbara okays it.]

[ Private ]

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara's eyes light up.] That would be great. The more to do on this ship the better, I think. [And she misses Sybil already.]

Hold on a sec. [She's out of sight for a few minutes, and then she comes back with an old, leather bound photo album. It only takes her one try to flip to the right page, and she holds it up to show four pictures.

She's ten years old, in a homemade costume. In two, her helmet is on. In one, she's raising her sword; in another, her shield.]

[bodilesswarrior]

It was a nice diversion, I can say that. [If she looks a little suspicious behind her smile, that's just her nature.]

How'd you spend your time there?

[bodilesswarrior]

Oh, is that what you were doing? You confused the hell out of her.

[routemistress]

[Iris giggles.]

Occupational 'azard with me, that. Aye, and a few of Dean too. Been rude not to, don't you reckon?

[fuckingvisions]

Wish I had seen it, I know you got quite the eye for beauty afterall.

[fuckingvisions]

Well if you be askin' me you could use it now and then darlin'. [ He grins despite his black right eye. Yeah he pissed off a dwarf.]

Oh you know havin' fun where I can. Meself and Jery went on an adventure and I gambled with some Dwarves. It was a blast.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara rolls her eyes, but her smile doesn't waver.] So I've been told.

I'm guessing they're sore losers.

[fuckingvisions]

So mind me askin' if I can see those pictures Iris mentioned. I feel I missed out gettin' to see this. And you know you need to relax now and then, yeah?

Somethin' like that...[ He grinned a bit more. They werenot sore losers, they aught him cheating.]

[bodilesswarrior]

Sure thing. [And now she smirks.] I've got my wanted poster, too.

[Doyle's not the only one who got into trouble.]

[fuckingvisions]

Now that I want to see love! Whens a good time to drop by?

Re: [ Private ]

[routemistress]

Eeeeeeeeeeee! Oh, you were an adorable nipper. Obviously. And fierce.

[She grins.]

Not changed a lot, really, 'ave you?

[hetrustsme]

I'll take it you enjoyed our latest trip?

[surfaceshine]

What.

[timesbureaucrat]

My inmate and I are both safely back on board.

[And Narvin is no longer in a princess dress. Or blonde.]

I can't say I enjoyed this port as much as you appear to have done.

[routemistress]

You tellin' me you wouldn't've, cowboy?

[surfaceshine]

What I would've done isn't in question here.

[routemistress]

Still keeping 'em. You were adorable.

[voice, avec sound filter]

[dalekemperor]

I... am told I was there, though I do not remember it well and in the memories I do have, I was not who I am.

...

I was not... was I drugged?

[surfaceshine]

Excuse you, I am adorable.

But even I'll admit that was pretty awesome. [And maybe no one he called "m'lady" will actually say anything about it, maybe. Maybe.]
