[when the Sphere comes on, it doesn't show much of anything at all quite yet. just a thick, green plume of fog. but listen carefully, and there are the tale-tell signs of someone crying out in indignation--followed by a thump, a couple things clattering loudly on the metal floor, and a door slamming shut. the moment the door closes, the plume

[... Just. Staring. What the hell, Doctor. Why are you green right when I see you again.]

[bit_impossible]

Ohhhhhh, Nataku, hello! You're back!

...You're alive! Brilliant!

[epicinity]

[... Just nodding. He still remembers that conversation from before.]

[bit_impossible]

[he does too, but to hell with it! he's just thrilled Nataku's alive]

How are you alive anyway? [leans in close, dropping his voice to a whisper] You're not a ghost, are you?

[epicinity]

I do not know. I still move like I am living.

[bit_impossible]

Still have all the same needs, right? Eating, sleeping, that sort of thing?

[epicinity]

I do not originally eat and sleep.

[bit_impossible]

Oh, Nataku, you know what I mean! What you used to do while alive before you went to your death and came back!

[epicinity]

[So that means killing people :|]

I would rather not.

[bit_impossible]

[an indifferent shrug] Oh well, no skin off my teeth. [it's best they're having this discussion while the Doctor's feeling this damned peppy]

So! What do you think of this place? The space station, I mean. I've got plenty of time later to ask your opinion on the fleet of ships we've found ourselves on.

[epicinity]

I have not been there yet.

[bit_impossible]

Well, what are you waiting for?!

[epicinity]

... [But he's nervous about going to strange new places askjhfasdjkhalfs]

[bit_impossible]

Oh come on! It won't hurt! Just try one step out into the space station. If you don't like it, you can always just step backward!

Or, you can take a step forward, and then another, and another, and keep on going and suddenly you've walked all around the space station and find yourself back at the beginning!

[epicinity]

[He really cant give 'no' for an answer, can he?]

Later.

[bit_impossible]

[with the way the Doctor is right now? not a chance in hell!]

[but he waits a moment and then says] ...It's later. You going to come? It won't hurt. And as long as you stay away from this door, you won't turn green. I promise! Scout's honour!
