14; There is no "I" in threesome. (Canon updating...)

[rude_not_ginger]

In the bar area...

[have a Handy running his hands through his hair, then looking at what appears to be grains of sand in disgust. he makes a face, then puts the sandy hands out towards Jack and no, he's not Annie trying to convince Sam he's real]
Dead people, that is dead people! In my hair. Dead people!
[Jack, on the other hand, is thankfully

[still totally absorbed in this sand business]

It's all over me.

[spots a few stray grains of sand on his sleeve and wipes it off furiously]

I'm burning these clothes.

[itsthecoat]

[And he is going to be ignoring Handy and his sand business for a moment] Newscaster will get a few hundred calls in London about a flying double-decker bus, she'll probably go off to her next heist, and the city will find a new bus.

The most you have to worry about is what she'll do with that sort of technology.

[rude_not_ginger]

Well, knowing her? Steal a few things, cause a little trouble, then vanish off into the world.

[a little wistful about it]

[handysparehand]

[another disgusted brushing and then he gives up and moves behind the bar to make himself a drink]

Life of crime is probably out the window for the moment if she keeps flying around in that thing. I'd imagine it might be a bit difficult to keep stealthy and unnoticed when you're traveling around in a great big flying double-decker.

[brigadiertardis]

[she's just going to stare at all three of you] Is there something strange about a world of sand?

[rude_not_ginger]

Fortunately, you'll be sitting that adventure out, TARDIS.

[brigadiertardis]

That is the way of most of your adventures, Doctor.

[rude_not_ginger]

Oh, not all of them, though. And we get to share the alien worlds, yeah?

[galeforcehero]

[Not like Dorothy was eavesdropping here, but... yeah, she totally was. And she kind of agrees with poor Handward. After a bit of a think, she disappears from the Plane and reappears with one of those sticky-paper lintroller things. Aunt Em has them around because of the dogs, but presumably it'd work on sand too! She offers it to Handy, because she's a good person.]

[handysparehand]

[notices the lintroller and sighs, relieved.]

Thank you!

[and he will now be using said lintroller.]

[galeforcehero]

[she beams!]

Golfball prodigy on monogamous sensitivity training--

[and then she isn't so happy anymore. Actually, miserable. Ah, well. She turns around and slowly starts to shuffle off, muttering nonsensical things sadly]

[handysparehand]

[brushity brushing dead people aw - ]

Sorry?

[confused look and then follows after]

What was that?

[ofalzarius]

[Adric is pointedly not saying anything, because nothing is coming out right and it's kind of humiliating. Instead he'll be taking Handy's shoe and inspecting the dead people sand inside.]

[rude_not_ginger]

It's not really all that impressive, Adric. Just a world reduced to sand.

Actually a fairly normal life process. Pity it had to happen there.

[handysparehand]

[he will now be attempting to get his shoes back]

World reduced to sand in a year's time. That's an important bit, too.

[ofalzarius]

[You can have your shoe back Handy. And a year isn't long at all, so it's enough for him to momentarily forget he's not talking for a reason.]

Obscure tramline?

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto is nursing a mug of coffee and a hang over. He's keeping some distance between the three of them and himself, because he doesn't like sand in his coffee at the best of times... this sand he definitely doesn't want to be drinking.] There're dead people in the sand?

[handysparehand]

[Ianto is smart]

Well, more like the dead people are the sand.

[damnfinecoffee]

[Smart and face pulling. Because that's disgusting.]

How?

[itsthecoat]

Among other things. A whole planet isn't made up of just people.
