First Entry

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

[Who ever said a dream had to be restful? Someone boring, probably. Certainly not any self respecting doctor of archaeology. At least not one answering to the name of River Song. And for fortunately anyone entering this specific dream hoping for adventure, that's exactly what she answered to.

The people who didn't would still have to run from a giant rolling boulder--classics were classics--and might have to deal with getting a little lost in the alien temple, too. They'd just enjoy it less.

At the center of the temple (deceptively close to the starting point, as dreams often were) sits River sprawled atop something that might look suspiciously like a certain ark, sipping from a golden goblet and laughing at a joke just missed. Or a joke all her own, given there's no one else in the room.]

You're late.

More fun than an adventure with danger and treasure at the end?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. There's always something even more.

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

You've got my attention, then.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

You want a thrill, right?

Why not let me make that for you? [Oh, she'd love that, even with no tricks of her own involved: simply to be shaping the surroundings for the other woman.]

A maze. Of my making. For you to find the prize.

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

A labyrinth? Forgive me saying it, Sweetheart, but an endless maze sounds a bit more tedious than it does thrilling. Prize or no.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Not a labyrinth, then. [She's the goddess of knowledge; she can come up with any type of puzzle.]

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

Not a labyrinth then. [Her smile is faintly amused.] Have you something else in mind?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She seems unperturbed.]

Well, not yet. But we're both bored.

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

So we seem. That's promising: all the best stories start with two people who are bored.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Oh? Nothing about it being a noble quest? [There's a slight undercurrent in her dismissive tone that suggests she'd rather not have the pastime clouded with ideals.]

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

Oh, hardly. The only things that makes any 'noble quest' less tedious than an empty labyrinth are the pretty faces you can bring along. Quests born out of boredom, though? You can count on those to keep you entertained.

[That, River, earns you a name and introduction.]

I'm Mizuno Ami. Let's get along well! [The smile is a bit too bright and overdone; she's still not used to acting energetic.]

[suewnsong.livejournal.com]

Doctor River Song. [She flashes a mischievous smirk.] Let's keep it interesting.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[That distracts her immediately.] A doctor?
