[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!))

no way 1 is true come up with a better lie.

[demonicmiracle]

It's the truth. I travelled a lot for work

[canofmanji]

what? really? guess the world isnt as big as i thought it was

have you even been to that snow world? i forget what they called it.

[demonicmiracle]

The surface area of just the land on Earth is about 150 million square kilometers

[This is probably a meaningless number.]

Do you mean the Artic and/or Antarctica? I've been to both, though not for long at either, too bloody cold

[canofmanji]

[That is a number a fairly simple man like Manji just can't comprehend. He's barely thought about leaving Japan let alone spend much time thinking about how big the world itself is.]

either. guess im just trying to figure out what sort of job would send you to a hunk of ice

[demonicmiracle]

The Artic circle has a decent population, always has done. But the trip to Antarctica was just for fun, not much there aside from penguins

[He hasn't thought far enough ahead to someone actually asking him what his job is, so he's just gonna not respond to that part, like an asshole.]

[canofmanji]

does it? huh, never would have thought that. so what? you there to sell them something? body guard? acting trope? [Those being the jobs Manji can think of that do a lot of travelling.]

[demonicmiracle]

People are surprisingly resilient, they'll live anywhere

[He's played at having human jobs before, but only for short periods of time, and usually with the ability to mess with people's perceptions.

So he waffles a bit, trying to decide what he can reasonably get away with, something that he knows enough to bullshit about.]

I'm an astronomer, it involves a lot of travel to different observation sites

[canofmanji]

oh.




a what?

[demonicmiracle]

In the simplest term, an astronomer studies space. Usually stars and planets, that sort of business

[canofmanji]

a sky gazer, huh? learn anything interesting about the stars while freezing your ass off?

[demonicmiracle]

I did help map the clusters of Eta Carinae Nebula, that was a fun project

[That's one way to translate the fact he helped make the nebula.]

[canofmanji]

yeah sure whatever stars those are [He can appreciate maping out stars. That's important, but the name means nothing to him.]

[demonicmiracle]

I'd offer to point out where it is, but we're on the wrong side of the planet

[canofmanji]

are we? maybe a different season but im hoping not to be here that long.

[demonicmiracle]

That's not exactly how it works, but there are plenty of other stars to see

How long have you been here already?

[canofmanji]

about a month? you?

[demonicmiracle]

Bit more than that, might be about three. Long enough to be over it, not so long that I've much clue about what the fuck is going on

[canofmanji]

i can believe that. i was over it after the first day.
