[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!))

When you don't have any friends growing up, you read a lot.

[thedoctorsmate]

We need to get you some Nora Roberts, or something.

[abrightboy]

I don't know what that is.

[thedoctorsmate]

Romance novels.
I think you need more romance novels in your life.

[abrightboy]

I’m doing okay in that department lately. What else do you like to read for fun?

[thedoctorsmate]

Oh, I like trashy stuff.
Smart man like you?
Doubt you'd be interested.

[abrightboy]

I'm interested in all kinds of things.

[thedoctorsmate]

Oh, yeah?
You read Twilight?

[abrightboy]

Okay, no. But I’ve read everything by Agatha Christie?

[thedoctorsmate]

[...]

Are you comparing Agatha Christie to Stephanie Meyer?
What apartment are you in?
Sorry, I need to come over for a chat.
One that involves my hand and your face.

[abrightboy]

No. You just. Mentioned Christie earlier, is all, and I actually know who that is.

[thedoctorsmate]

Right, well be clearer about that sort of thing!
Here was me talking about trash literature and you bring up Agatha Christie?
Bloody brilliant author, right?

[He had better agree. Or else.]

[abrightboy]

Groundbreaking. But if we're talking exclusively about trash, I did read a lot of John Grisham when I was in high school.

[thedoctorsmate]

All right, here's a question:
What's the cutest or most romantic or just... not dark book you've read?

[abrightboy]

I read all the Hardy Boys books when I was a kid. They were a bit below my reading level, but I liked the mysteries.

[thedoctorsmate]

Malcolm.
Did you get stuffed in lockers as a kid?

[abrightboy]

More often than average, but less than you’d think. Until my father got arrested. Then it was mostly after school ass kickings.

[thedoctorsmate]

I don't know whether to smack you or hug you.
Maybe one right after the other.
Aaaaand Callisto's losing it again.
Need to pop off for a bit, but take care, yeah?
And find something that doesn't involve murder or mystery to read?
Maybe we'll start a book club to expand your horizons.

[abrightboy]

I can’t promise they’d hold my interest, but I’ll give it a shot. Say hi to Callisto for me.

[thedoctorsmate]

Yeah, yeah, you weirdo.
