Is Your Love Strong Enough? Part 6 - The Final Scratch

[hark_a_monster]

Such a strange occurrence needed, finally a conclusion. Thanks for the Time Lord's trinket gift, there was suddenly an old, fearsome creature made of gears, it's old features squeaking (although not as bad as before, since a certain someone had given him a good oil job). Analog,the fearsome creature known by some as a the crankiest Time Dragon,

Re: [Reserved for the Doctor/River]

The Doctor wakes up in his body with two things happening: River Song in there with him and his trousers are vibrating.

They're vibrating very, very hard.

He rolls over from where he's been apparently lounging after a hard days work spreading flowers (judging by the quite frankly excessive number of petals draped all over his chest) and gropes about in his trousers after fumbling the robes out of the way. Trousers. Vibrating. Odd. Also insistent. It's starting to migrate in his pockets toward...places, if it could get there, it would. Not for lack of trying. The Whatever It Is feels like it's steps away from tearing some sort of inter-dimensional hole in his trousers if he doesn't so something about it. The Doctor finally grabs it after fishing past the spare socks and A Tale of Two Cities and pulls it out: it's some sort of fancy clockwork pipe, worn by age, and it looks like the very sort of thing a selfish old Dragon would hoard and forget was even in there until it was gone. Not the sort of thing to fall in by accident

River is trying so very hard not to comment on the vibrating trousers. Luckily for him, she's preoccupied with being inside a totally alien body. An alien body with awkward, fumbling limbs. It might be partially her fault that he can't find the vibrating whatever because she's testing out her control of his limbs. Being in a male body is quite new to her. As new to her as it was for him to be in her body.

She does want to ask what he means by being occupied by 'girls', but she'll drop it for now.

River's there, it's just taking her a longer period of time to adjust to the alien feelings, sensations, emotions, and thoughts. He was flooding her mind much stronger then when he'd been in her body.

And as tempting as his memories are, she gives him the same courtesy he had given her.

No wonder you're so awkward. I can barely walk with your legs River's voice, loud and clear in his mind. She tries to take a step with his long limbs and promptly stumbles.

I hate to think of my body out there spreading flower petals. A pause. Who is

[hark_a_monster]

Well River, prepare to have your answer.

"Lord Bolt!" The time dragon's huge face can be seen if you look into the part where the smoke usually comes out. In fact, now that's all done up with vibrating it's glowing a rather nice shade of blue. The tiny little gears click and clank like clockwork, sort of like a loud pocket watch. Analog's voice is distorted, perhaps not the best of connections and communications but for now it will do.

There is a chorus of giggles behind her. Female giggles, possibly from two to three ladies. 'Lord Bolt' knows the answer to that one.

"So this thing still does work, marvelous! How long has it been since you had this stuffed in your pocket exactly?" A pause. "No, no wait, that's right. The time stream on this ship is rather all messed up. Perhaps it would be best to tell me how long you feel that it's been hmm?" She gives him a wink, and a few tiny gears fall out.

[Open Post - Anyone]

[Just start a new thread if you'd like to speak with analog as she walks in the city you poor souls. Affected from the curse or not, it's all good.]

[haruno]

Sakura stopped in her tracks when she caught sight -- sound -- scent of a most horrible, terrible thing. Her stomach turned over, disgust and irritation simmering in the back of her mind even as she attempted to plaster a neutral expression on her face.

Still wasn't worth insulting Analog. It wasn't.

"Our hero," she ground out with possibly negative enthusiasm. She hadn't watched hours of early slapstick comedy from Earth for nothing, and she thinks on this as Analog is once again on ship. Sakura kind of hopes the dragon ends up the brunt of a good joke or two while she's here -- but only after the problem's been resolved.

[livestoannoy]

No way. No. Fucking. Way.

Her?! Marco said, enraged. HER?! We have to get saved by her rusty ass?!

[hark_a_monster]

Oh oh let Analog just stop for a minute and turn, her nose sniffing at something. She cranked her neck slowly, a few gears falling out until her large eye was looking at the both of them.

"I see the virgin hasn't changed yet. In fact, she seems to have multiplied, somehow."

[The Showdown]

[hark_a_monster]

[You are free to watch the aftermath, once the goddess comes out.]

The Profession of a Connection

[meatbabies]

The course of time was forever affected. The flowers stopped growing and blooming, the pies she baked each day were gone. The plants would continue to grow in certain places - provided they had the nutriments for it, but for the most part, with Nezaitben's defeat, the world on the ship returned to a sort of normality.

In a heap, most of the bodies, returned to their normal outfits were sitting down like an odd collection of lifeless dolls - just breathing enough for then to continue living they were essentially in a vegetable state. They could not switch from one body to the other anymore. It was either stay two people in one body or...

Now, it was the time for them confess their connection. Outloud. To each other. No exceptions. How their souls were, together. What spark they might have, if any. For should they chose not to...well, they'd be stuck in a single body for a while, carrying around the other body and making sure it's fine.

[OOC - If you want to hand-wave that part, go right ahead, but this is the fun part.]

Lash and Zetta

[things_go_boom]

Clearly they totally had this in the bag. Lash looked over to her barely breathing body and knew what she had to answer.

We have fun together. AND NOTHING ELSE. What do you say to that, Soulcatcher?

Re: Lash and Zetta

[i_am_the_bafo]

Exactly. Lash is fun.

Smugly, Zetta sat back and waited for Lash to get out of his book body.

Re: Lash and Zetta

[things_go_boom]

WRONG ANSWER.

Nothing happened. Lash waited a bit more and then...

"..." Why hadn't she left yet?
