Ace: chats with Ray, meets Flash, is flailed at by Wash, is plotty with Tim, and flails at Virginia

[nitro_is_ace]

There's an Ace, in the bar. What a wonder.
She's claimed the comfy seat again, and is staring at the fire with an expression that, were he here, the Doctor would take one look at and promptly start causing his own brand of chaos, just to keep her busy.
Ace, in a word, is bored.
This is never good.
Distractions... would probably be a very good

Distractions are distinctly possible. Ray's returning from the bar to another of the seats near the fire, having just acquired a fizzy drink that appears to be a faintly iridescent dark green.

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace blinks.

It's bubbly.

It's green.

It appears to be glowing.

"I didn't know Dalek was a drink too." Ace comments idly as Ray walks by.

[gone_byebye]

Ray blinks, looking at his glass. "What, this? I don't think it is... it's what the bar gave me the first time I asked it for 'something nonalcoholic, nontoxic to humans, and as artificial as you can manage'. It beats most of the sodas I used to get back home."

[nitro_is_ace]

"Looks like the inside of a Dalek." You will never catch Ace drinking something green and glowy and bubbly. This is possibly the reason Tim couldn't get Ace to drink the hangover cure the other day.

"Excuse me. Are you Ace? I'm Barry. I'm friends with Sara and with Tim, and wanted to introduce myself." And so Barry comes over to the fireplace and hopes that he's not making a mistake.

[nitro_is_ace]

"Hullo Barry." Ace grins at him, and offers him the hand that had just previously been tapping out rapid, fluttery rhythms on the chair arm. "Nice t'meetcha."

[silverageflash]

"Same here. Figured I should meet someone who is both the light in Tim's eye and a fellow time traveller." He takes her hand.

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace blushes furiously at the first description, and looks...well, you should know this one. Curious. Very very curious at the second.
"Time traveller? You know the Time Lords then?" Because to Ace, it's either that or Daleks, and this guy seems too nice to work with Daleks.

"Ace, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Wash, sans entrance post, leans against the back of her chair, arms folded. He's looking worn-out, uncharacteristically serious, and all in all very unWashlike.

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace blinks, and grins at Wash, sheer nervous energy making up for any energy lack from Wash's direction. The girl's ready to climb the walls.
"Hey Wash. Sure, have a seat."

[flybywash]

[ooc: ngk, sorry, got held up at work.]

He nods and takes a seat in the next chair over, scrubbing a hand over his face as he does. There's a moment of silence as he tries to choose his words carefully.

That idea goes sailing right out the window when he gives up and says, "The next time somebody comes in here and you think they're from my 'verse, can you please not tell them anything about Serenity? At all?"

[nitro_is_ace]

(ooc: S'okay, figured it was something like that. *grin*)

Expressions flicker past - bewilderment, concern, slight hurt, confusion - before settling on careful blankness. She's rather lost, since she blew off her very short conversation with the elder Tam since he had seemed rather unconcerned with her, and rather boring overall.
"I... alright, Wash. If that's what you want." She mentally extends her list of 'dangerous Chinese-speaking people' from just friendly-looking old men to just about everyone.

*Theres a Tim staring out the front door. He opens it, looks inside, then closes it again, to lean against the doorjam.*

[nitro_is_ace]

Taptaptaptap...taptap...taptaptap...

Ace stops her hand when she hears the front door close, and looks over. Seeing a Tim, she shoots him a quizzical look.

[timsbooks]

*Tim takes a deep breath, and opens the door again. He peers out it, muttering under his breath, then slams it shut, eyes still staring at where the door was open.*

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace cannot resist a mystery for long. Especially when she's just about ready to climb the walls. Aces don't do well when confined.
She wanders over, curiosity overcoming caution with a frightening ease.
"Whatcha doing?"

[nitro_is_ace]

Cocoa! Ace lights up, but as soon as she's got the mug in her hands, it turns into another smoothie. Blast.
"Yeah. Too muddy and rainy to go outside... too many people in here to do experiments." When the pyro talks about experiments, she's not talking about the science fair here. It's more like 'will this chemical make a bigger boom or a smaller boom than the other one' type of experiments.

[nitro_is_ace]

"Because the Bar is a tad overbearing." Ace smarts off, before she can think better of it. "She thinks I've been eating too much junk food lately." She pauses, and relents a bit. "She might be right... but I rather miss the cocoa."
