[it's been a long few weeks. so much turmoil and tension ... and he's well aware of the toll it must be taking on all involved, and even some who aren't. so, before he dives straight into the strategizing and the planning and such, he's going to allow himself one evening's respite to recharge before preparing for ... well ( Read more... )

Know when to fold'em hullo_sweetie August 4 2011, 02:20:39 UTC

How about a round of strip poker?

[You knew this was coming]

hullo_sweetie August 9 2011, 03:21:34 UTC

[She hands it back to him after stealing another sip or two]

Oh, lovely. Who is coming?

cricketycricket August 10 2011, 02:08:54 UTC

Oh, Junior, Aziraphale, possibly Django ... and some new, rather British-sounding fellow whose name I haven't caught yet.

hullo_sweetie August 10 2011, 02:29:59 UTC

Sounds like a decent crowd. I recently met a British fellow by the name of James Holmes. Is that who you're referring to?

cricketycricket August 10 2011, 02:35:13 UTC

Possibly? As I said, I've not gotten his name yet. [he'll draw an arrow down to his conversation with Holmes, in case River will recognize the handwriting that's been showing up with the dictation]

hullo_sweetie August 10 2011, 03:08:22 UTC

[She does a quick scan of his journal and confirms it with a nod of her head]

That's him alright. Clever chap. I think you two will get along quite well.

cricketycricket August 10 2011, 21:07:51 UTC

He seems a thoroughly decent fellow. Mind my asking what you two spoke about?

hullo_sweetie August 10 2011, 21:10:32 UTC

Why? Getting jealous already are we?

[She's just teasing, but feel free to blush]

Oh, this and that. I offered him tea, we talked about a mutual friend. Seems he knows Nikola from way back during their university days.

Whatever for? [sorry, River, he's still clueless sometimes, and that one sails right over his head]

Nikola Tesla? My goodness, that must have been a class for the ages. Not unlike my own back at the Academy, really. [he just barely catches himself from rambling about Koschei and Ushas and the mischief the three of them got into ... but the stubborn refusal to even think about the former shakes him out of it]

I've only had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Tesla once or twice, unfortunately. Our paths don't cross as often as I'd like.

hullo_sweetie August 11 2011, 01:35:01 UTC

Oh, nevermind.

[She rolls her eyes at him. Oh, Doctor. Sometimes she wonders why she married you in the first place]

So I've been told. He's very brilliant, supposedly the real life persona behind the tale of Sherlock Holmes in his world.

Nikola run into each other, we've both got an adventurous spirit.
