HEY, MIND READER
Maybe you touched a cursed object or an innate ability was triggered by something. Whatever the circumstances are, you can now hear the thoughts of everyone around you, which may be a blessing or a curse depending on your point of view and who you know. Did you find out your best friend has been having dirty thoughts about you? Did

[She's so adorable!]

[huffpuffblonde]

Oi! I am not! I'm... something less cute.

[docs_xperiment]

[Blinks. Was Rose hearing things? THat was... worrisome.]

[but_you_made_me]

He's passing by in the hall, actually, a pad of paper in one hand, a pencil in his mouth, stolen glasses perched on his nose. For a while, there's just the steady whisper of numbers and equations and words in a language the TARDIS never translates....and then, as he passes her room, he didn't even break stride, but his thoughts did.

'I absolutely love that new shampoo she's using. Note to self, stock up on it. Makes her smell like [No translation]. I miss those...'

[huffpuffblonde]

It was the whispering that caught her attention, and for a second, she nearly freaked out. At least, until she recognized the voice. That was... strange. She wasn't hearing it, exactly, so much as it was... in her head. She ought to go tell him, see if they can figure out what it is and get it so-

He was thinking about her. About her shampoo. She perked up. Oh, this could be useful.

She pushed the door open, peaking her head out as he walked down the hall.

[but_you_made_me]

'..always tasted like bananas. Or do bananas taste like them? Hmmm.'

He paused midstep, jotted down a few entirely unrelated numbers, and then just continued straight on down his path. He hadn't noticed her door opening, or, if he had, he didn't seem to be aware that his thoughts happened to be broadcasting. For a while, he went back to the complicated stream of numbers and Gallifrayan. As he passed the galley, however, there was a jumbled mesh of 'ohcookiesmaybetheressomepotpieleftoveriwonderifRosewantssomemmmmm, I smell muffins!'

[huffpuffblonde]

Oh yes. This was going to be good. She followed him down the hall, her flat trainers muffling the sound of her footsteps as she listened. Okay, so eavesdropping was rude, but she really wanted to mess with him. Which made it completely okay.

So she picked up her pace, walking passed him casually. "D'you smell muffins?"

[but_you_made_me]

Which made him pause and straighten, glancing over at her as she passed. He looked confused for a moment, then grinned. "I was just thinking that. Did we pick up muffins while Tall and Broody was out resupplying this morning?"',because if he picked up muffins, I'll have to thank him, won't I? Gosh, I'm randy today....abit too much ginger in that gingerbread coffee, I suppose. Maybe I should just go back to my room and read for a bit...'

[huffpuffblonde]

She had to turn and cough rather suddenly to avoid a laugh attack. Really? One-track mind, Doctor? Those human hormones sure did a number on his thought processes. Not that she was complaining.

In fact...

She strode into the kitchen, opened up a jar of marmalade, stuck her fingers in, and innocently brought them to her mouth.

[but_you_made_me]

His mind had been on multiple tracks this entire time, thank you! Still, he didn't seem aware that she could actually hear him, nor could he hear her and as such had no real way of defending himself. He shook his head a little to clear away that last particular thought before he turned and followed her into the kitchen, setting aside his pad and pencil in favor of hunting for those muffins. His thoughts ranged from the equations on the paper to the muffins he just couldn't find anywhere....and then he turned around to ask for her help, and for a moment there was just silence. It didn't last long, however.

'Way too much ginger. Oh, dear. She'll taste like marmalade now...mmm, marmalade flavored Rose. Marmalade flavored Rose with muffins. Marmalade flavored Rose making those sounds. Marma-DONOTJUMPROSEINTHEKITCHENIDONOTWANTANOTHERLECTURE.'A swallow was the only outward sign of any of it. Reaching up into the cabinet, he grabbed a sleeve of crackers, then smirked as he reached out to snag that jar of marmalade from her. "Think I

[huffpuffblonde]

"I'll join you!" She said, almost too quickly, snatching back the jar of marmalade with a tiny smirk. "Wouldn't want a mess in the kitchen. Don't need another lecture, thanks."

Oh, this was brilliant. She should've been able to do this ages ago. She'd tell him, eventually, as soon as she got done with her fun. Or he'd figure it out. Either way was just perfectly fine.

[but_you_made_me]

'Well, that was abrupt! I thought she was going to look for muffins? And how am I supposed to get my work done with her right there?! True, there won't be any mess in the kitchen, but I still won't have that equation done before-

Wait a minute.

Rose, you can hear me, can't you?!!?'

He hadn't moved a muscle.

[huffpuffblonde]

She froze.

Then offered him a sheepish grin.

"Dunno... maybe?"

As if that didn't flat-out answer the question. "We should probably sort that out. In a minute." A pause. "Oooor... you've still got that marmalade."

[but_you_made_me]

'This....this could be really bad. Residual energy from the time vortex? But surely it would have surfaced by now. Unless, of course, all the time in the TARDIS has given her a bit of a fighting chance against it...

sex? She's thinking about sex when her brain could be melting from her ears? Though, to be fair, I think about sex during most of the times we've been in a life threatening situation. It's a wonder Th-

....you can hear everything, can't you?' He sighed and shook his head, his thoughts switching from something the TARDIS translated to Gallifrayan, which was always safe.

"Put the marmalade down, and let's go find him and get you sorted out."

She'll find a stream of thoughts coming from the console room. As it always does when he thinks she's sleeping and he doesn't need to guard his thoughts.

--Fluid couplings are looking rubbish, who put gum in them need to go to Praxis XI to get that new I wonder if Rose is a sapphire sort of person I bet she'd really like her shampoo is almost out will have to stop by Earth ugh JackieJackieJackie fifth of May and how's that go what's this button do again?
