[network/open] Set During the Deep Event Prompt

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!))

Yeah... that's about it for a lot of them.
Some of them are nice, though.
They're just... people, I guess?
Good and bad.

[musicdied]

Yeah. I don't think we would be any better, if we could actually travel to space.

Maybe worse. We're bad enough on our own planet.

[thedoctorsmate]

From what I've seen, humans do spread out around the universe.
Sort of inevitable if we last long enough, right?
But it's all the same things again. Some people are great, some people aren't.
Species doesn't really matter so much.

[musicdied]

Sometimes that seems like a very big if.

What year are you from?

[thedoctorsmate]

2008, but my friend's ship does time along with space, so I get around in terms of where and when, both.
The 1920s are mad fun for a little while, so long as you can pop out again when you want.

[musicdied]

So you can time travel on purpose? I'm very jealous.

What's your favorite year that you've been to?

[thedoctorsmate]

Blimey, that's a question.
Hmm...
1969.
He took me to see the moon landing.
Properly from space.
We stayed hidden, didn't get involved, but it was just... that's where it really started for so many people.
For my grandad.
He told me about seeing that on the telly and just imaging.
He went out an bought a telescope the next day, and he's had it ever since.
I remember, growing up, he'd always bring me out to the back garden to look up.
I thought he was daft for the longest time, but... yeah.
Seeing it out there, being out there, it gets into your bones.
That wonder.

[musicdied]

That sounds amazing.

You must be close. You and your grandfather, I mean.

[thedoctorsmate]

Yeah, he's always lived with us.
Closer to him than my parents, really.
He got me a lot better than they did.

Guess you know what it's like having family back home, though.
Even if they aren't blood, it's still the same.
