Arcology - the wave of the future!

His eyebrows went up. “I dunno if you’ve had a good look in the mirror lately, but we certainly don’t look much alike…”

She waved him off. “Sure, keep thinkin’ that if it helps.”

en whistled. “Blimey! That sure is a big apse…”

Twelve spun around, her darkening eyes assessing the quickest way to inflict harm. “Excuse me?”

He pointed to the giant blue dome in the centre of the village. “Apse, apse! Found in a church. A semi-circular domed and vaulted roof containing the altar…”

snicker snicker ... she could've told him to stick it up his flying buttress! ;)

I loved your description of the apse/bronze foundy - I felt like I could see it.

TREVOR!!!!!! LOOK AT YOU GIVING ME GIFTS!!!!!! <3333333333




Hello, Trevor.

Twelve rolled her eyes. Once again their spurious cover story had been derailed by excessive loquaciousness and misguided attention to extreme cleverness.

In short: Pretentiousness was once again their downfall.

Vanity, thy name is Doctor, thought Twelve.

I love the Bobbsey Twins so much!

“But…” She looked back and forth between the two of them. Twelve could see the question in her eyes, Which one of you is the real Doctor? She had wondered that herself, recently. The last time she’d met a former self that wore that face, she’d felt all too ready to acquiesce to him, having been struggling with herself and her identity-but things were different now.

Ten’s assured voice broke the silence and stopped the unasked question from finding its voice. “We both are,” he said.

Clever Ten.

he entire “Installation” formed a colossal, three-dimensional design of their TARDIS!

AND

VVWOOOORP! VVWOOOORP! VVWOOOORP! VVWOOOORP!

How effing cool is that?!

Yay! The mystery is kicking off, kids ...

I can feel you setting us up for mega adventure/mystery. Can't wait, can't wait!

:D Zaz

Trevor sez "Hi!"

HaHa!
Ahh, "arcology!" I'm afraid I can't take credit for that one--which reminds me, my reference notes never made it on the post (will have to fix later). Back in 2000 I went to AZ and ended up visiting this place called Arcosanti--a ecological Utopia project being slowly built in the high deserts of AZ. This is where Twelve and Ten end up. They even have an apse (but I added the blue). They also make beautiful bronze bells in their foundry (yes, in said apse). But alas, they have not built a gigantic replica of the TARDIS using a shitload of bells--would that they did!

Ye Gods, but did I do a lot of research on this! Not only Arcosanti and apses, but foundries and bronze casting!! Oh yeah--AND Appian Way!! Now I can add those things to the list of junk I've looked up in my fic efforts, along with finding youtube vids of three legged dogs and cats... o_O

TREVOR!!!!
YES!!!
See? You asked for it and I delivered! I figured since you and Betababe are the only ones who seem to religiously comment (and hence feel like my only audience), then I might as well pander to you!! I'm sure you'll get another shout out soon enough...

Thanks, Sweetness!
