[ Wherever you are in your dreams tonight, you'll notice a particularly odd looking blue box with a man standing outside of it. His hands are in his pockets as he leans against it, grinning, looking at the landscape of the dream, which is fashioned to your liking. A city, hills, perhaps even just an open field or even a ship at sea. Tonight, the dream is shaped to your liking! ]


(( ooc: If we've talked things for the event this month, feel free to throw it in the subject! otherwise, no-event Eleven post. :D ))

I'm still interested. So, let's go to planet Mercury. To Mariner Castle of 'now'.

I'll show you it.

[Her tone stays even, but a certain forwardness in her posture betrays her actual eagerness.]

[ And he is off piloting the TARDIS, spinning around the console! ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Spinning...?]

Are you just playing around?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

No! I'm piloting!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

It's a strange sort of piloting.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

She's supposed to have six pilots.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Then isn't it better if I become one more? Tell me what to do.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Don't take this the wrong way, Mercury, but how do I know I can trust you?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Probably, no one should trust me.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

How do I know you won't try to sneak in and steal her if I show you how to?

and i'm out for most of the day but back later <3

If she's sentient, she wouldn't allow that, right?

Besides, I don't have that type of interest in her. [If anything, she'd poke around try to get enough information to build a TARDIS of her own.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

She is still a machine, we can override her.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Decide whether we're going or not.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

We've been going!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Eh? [Forgive her. The running around had really just looked. Ah. Silly.]

I don't feel the motion. It's smooth! [Perhaps even more so than the ships of the Moon Kingdom in the past.]

Your people have developed their technology admirably.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I have the stabilizers on. [ BORING. ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

How long will the trip take?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

We're here! [ Ding. ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She waits impatiently to go outside, where she can set her foot on the floor of the only place that is her own and inviolate: Mariner Castle, made to her every whim and taste and fancy.

It is an impressive building: classical in structure, with a bluish tint even to its stone. It is grand and imposing, though its very size emphasizes the quiet; this is not a place of teeming life and the thriving bustle of Earth.]

Welcome to Mariner Castle.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ He tilts his head back as he looks at it, letting out a low whistle. ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Pride of ownership is strong as Ami bypasses the various security clearances (her sanctum is hers alone, and those she chooses to share it with briefly) to be able to actually enter the building. She pauses just outside the doors.]

Hurry up! I won't leave it open forever.

[But her smile widens at the whistle. Admiration.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ The Doctor smiles at her and quickly picks up his pace, walking through the doors. ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[As soon as she crosses the threshold, there's a gust of wind from nowhere, a sense of black rose petals, and Ami dressed in the signature gown of Princess Mercury, sigil showing on her forehead.

Here, at least, she is recognized as significant.]

The computer systems still connect to the former Moon Castle computers. [She grins slyly.] I made sure of that myself back then.

[And now? It's a good source of information.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ He quietly watches her transformation and wears a sad smile, or perhaps it's a proud smile. It's hard to tell. He feels like he's seeing Mercury for the first time as who she truly is. ]

You're very talented.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She turns back to him as if she's unaware of the change; Mercury is part of her. And the rank and status of her position is something still valuable to her.]

I've always enjoyed computers. They're easy to understand.
