I still want a mobile with music functions on. For Lady Gaga, Rihanna, other good workout music + New Age for hot yoga.

I know we have implants now, but the iPhone is cute and I never got one before we transported. :o(

Can't I have one (for nostalgia) like you have Glenn Miller 78s (for nostalgia)?

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Have you tried the Space Antique stores?

[gwen_e_cooper]

All they have are crocheted dolls to fit over spare loo roll and Wii Fits.

(And with the shells we don't need loo roll anymore, so...)

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Maybe Space Target has some. They're always big on retro. Or we could ask the Doctor to bring you one! It's not even nearly anything like a wrist strap, except for the 112G that has a time travel app.

We just will ask for the 111G.

[gwen_e_cooper]

Thank you, I.

At least I can depend on you.

Even though you rejected the elf costume. It was for charity. Rhys isn't at all comfortable in the tights.

But he looks adorable!

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I'm not made to wear curly shoes or hats with bells on, Gwen. Rhys looks much more jolly than I would.

Remind me later that I owe him seventy-five credits.

[gwen_e_cooper]

I won't... need to remind him. He's been on about it all day. ALL DAY.

*flicks bells* So cute!

If you'd worn the suit, everyone would be flicking your bells right now, Ianto!

[ask_aboutcoffee]

MY BELLS ARE FINE WHERE THEY ARE.

Wait.

Bells, right.

[gwen_e_cooper]

BELLS. JINGLE BELLS.

[ask_theginger]

111G alas, does have a time travel app, Ianto! It was a secret experiment that took many days in transporting people to their right time and not 75 years in the future or past. Was a little shock to the people.

110G is on enroute to you now. Just need to make sure that the darn Dalek doesn't get it. *sighs* You can never get rid of them, no matter how many black holes you do.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Ah, so the time travel was still in beta, right.

This Dalek, Doctor, it seems to want us to drink nog and sing carols.

That's not right, is it? Last time I saw one of these it wanted to shoot me a lot.

[ask_theginger]

Well of course. Time Travel could not be announced when it still had problems in the trip. Now, they charge 2000 credits to go to Barcelona. Terrible!

I must say dear boy, I have never heard of such a Dalek designed increase the Grimma's Spirit. Are you sure no one is the Grinch around here?

To be fair Ianto, the Daleks evolved much like the apeshumans did, but Grimma's Cheer has never been in their coding. Sounds like someone is playing a prank on you, perhaps?

Unless it is the Dalek from the Pond?

[ask_aboutcoffee]

No, Dalek Ec is still happily growing begonias in the greenhouse. Well, this time of year we festoon him with tinsel, too.

I fear this Dalek. It wants me to wear a festive jumper.

[ask_theginger]

It must be their new plan. No more extermination, let just spread the love and cheer of Grimmas.

Now come on dear boy, Grimma's is the time for red and cheery jumpers! You can not go wrong in any time travel with an appropriate festive jumper.

ALthough I must say, a vest with the US symbol on it was probably not appropriate in the London Blitz.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

As a plan for world domination, Festive Cheer doesn't seem likely to work very well.

[ask_janet]

but it tastes like fermented love.
