[network/open] Set During the Deep Event Prompt

[thedoctorsmate]

Who: Donna Noble
Username: supertemp
Warnings: None

Show of digital hands, who hates this?
I didn't sign up to be stuck in a flat with a psychopath, personally.
Dunno about the rest of you lot.

So, in the interest of not going insane...
Games.
Two truths and a lie.
Rules are like it sounds.
List two true things about yourself, then one lie.
Don't say what's true or not.
People have to guess that.

I'll go first.

1. I've been to a planet made entirely of emeralds.
2. My best friend has two hearts.
3. I've met Agatha Christie.

((ooc: Everyone please feel free to threadjack around, have your characters respond to each other, rather than Donna!))

1. I'm adopted.
2. I'm a trained dancer.
3. I can pilot a helicopter.

How many planets have you been to?

[canofmanji]

[What's a helicopter?]

3?

[musicdied]

No, that one is true.

You know you can change your username, right?

[canofmanji]

interesting. whats a helicopter?

and i know that! [Said the liar.] i just dont see the point!

[musicdied]

It's a kind of flying machine. They use whirling blades to lift off of the ground.

And the point is so that people can find you to send you messages.

[canofmanji]

blades? that sounds pretty cool actually. would love to see you fly one.

if thats the point then why does no one use their names?

[musicdied]

They're probably not quite what you're imagining, but they're very cool.

I'll do you one better. If I manage to get my hands on one here, I'll take you for a ride. Everyone should go flying at least once in their life.

[canofmanji]

no im good sticking to the ground. i dont have wings

[musicdied]

Neither do I. That's part of what makes it fun. :)

[thedoctorsmate]

Since someone already guessed 3, I'm guessing two.
You dance in the skies, not on the ground, right?

And it's a fair few now, but not so many as you'd think.
Seven or eight?
They've all been really interesting in their own ways.
Beautiful, but... terrible at times, too.
That's travel for you, though, right?

[musicdied]

Ballet. Since I was a little girl.

And that's very true. Though some places are more terrible than others.

Have you been to any good alien clubs?

[thedoctorsmate]

Then you're not adopted?
Helicopter's too weird to be lying about, I say.

What's your idea of 'good?'
Midnight had a very nice lounge.
There was this singer there with, three throats.
Wild songs they were singing.

[musicdied]

It's not that weird. It's a useful skill to have. But your second guess is right. I have people who are my family, but there are no legal ties.

And good is...good drinks, good music, good energy. It varies sometimes, what that means.

Could you dance to it?

[thedoctorsmate]

Flying a helicopter?
How many people can do that, really?
That is pretty weird.
Specialized, anyway.

And I can dance to anything.
It had a sort of jazz bop to it, I think? I liked it.

[musicdied]

Thousands of people! There are even people who just fly helicopters to take rich people to ski down a mountain. Not me, but it happens.

But I will give you specialized.

That sounds like it would be interesting to listen to. My world doesn't have a good track record with aliens, but I think I would probably like to see a dance club on another planet.

cw: mention of spiders and murder

[thedoctorsmate]

Neither does mine, really.
Missed most of it, but they apparently keep trying to take over or destroy us.
There was this spider lady who ruined my wedding and murdered my fiance.
Bloody expensive.

[musicdied]

It sounds like we have the same kind of bad track record.

I'm sorry about your fiance. Unless he was awful, and then I'm just sorry about the spiders.

[aelwyn_aberration]

1.

I'm guessing orphaned but not adopted, right?

[musicdied]

Close. You're right about the lie, but the woman who birthed me gave me up, she didn't die.

At least, not when I was a baby. She might be dead now.

[aelwyn_aberration]

I see.

I feel like there's numerous questions I could ask but all of them seem a bit prying.

[musicdied]

I wouldn't have put it in a game if questions bothered me. That would be stupid.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Haha. Fair enough.

Did she give you up to something specific? Like an organization? I know chuches accept infants sometimes, but you hardly seem like you were raised a nun.

[musicdied]

I'm definitely not a nun. But it's tempting to dress as one if anyone can stomach costumes again. It's always funny when people don't know where it's safe to look.

It was a government-run organization. I was raised to serve the state, not a god.

[aelwyn_aberration]

I think we might be thinking of very different nuns, though honestly I think you could pull it off.

Ah, yes. Secret services or military? Where I come from, most countries pick up infants for both.

[musicdied]

The former. It was a good education.

[And a horrible everything else.]
