[ Good morning Mayfield. Looks like there's a rush of newbies flooding the phone lines and wandering the streets. Amongst them is a girl with red hair in what appears to be a yellow nightgown. While many of them appear disoriented and out of place, this girl's demeanor is anything but. It's almost as though she's used to the town. ]

Waking up in a new place is different. Strange, but different. I'll have words with that foolish man later. [ Also, she's apparently used to just chatting away with herself. ] Abandoning me here while he's off to some other adventure. He could have at least left clothes for me that were a bit more me.

➥ ＩＩ．

[ Amy Pond is starting to realize that Mayfield is a strange entity all in itself. It's in this not-quite-simple town that fairy tales and heroes from throughout time and other worlds spring to life. In fact, your character just got done telling her something so absurd she brings her finger and thumb to her arm. ]

Ow! [ She felt that pinch pretty good. ] Could you repeat what you just said? I think I misheard you because there's no way I can believe that.

➥ ＩＩＩ．

[ It's been a few weeks since this Pond's arrival in Mayfield and she's starting to get the hang of things. Today, she's even bold enough to make a public phone call with the obvious drone filters in place. ]

Hi, Amy here. [ Well, that's one heck of a greeting. ] It feels as though it's been forever since I've been in the same place for more than a month. You see, I traveled a lot before coming to this town and I'm starting to miss it. A lot. So let's talk about the places you've visited.

...y'know, I actually never traveled too much. Been a couple places, but not all over the world or anythin' like that.

[the_girl_who_waited]

That doesn't sound very exciting. [ She just done called your legend boring, Cuchootrain. ] Are you the kind of guy who prefers to stay indoors then?

[riastrad_ridire]

[GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL.]

Not really. I just never had much reason to leave the country.

[He's the Hound of Ulster, not the Hound-Of-Wherever-He-Happens-To-Be-At-The-Moment.]

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ Puppies wander aimlessly all the time though. ]

Weren't you bored? [ At least a little? ] People who don't travel just seem to be the type who sit around and drink all day after all.

[riastrad_ridire]

What's boring about that?

[Beat.]

I mean, I did plenty of other stuff too.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Well, for one you'd get fat.

[ Are you fat, Cuchootrain?? ]

Other stuff like exercise? Or stupid stunts people do when drunk because they think it to be funny?

[riastrad_ridire]

[gurl i am faburlus]

Other stuff like 'kill half an army because the rest of our soldiers were useless'.

[the_girl_who_waited]

All on your own you did that?

[riastrad_ridire]

You got it.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ That's cool, mah bff is the most feared entity in the world. Second to Chuck Norris of course, but that joke hasn't been made in show yet. ]

Are you a bad guy then?

[riastrad_ridire]

Depends on your perspective, I guess. Never considered myself a bad guy by any means, but I doubt a good deal of Ireland would've agreed with me.

[~LAAAAAAWFUL NEUTRAAAAAAAAL~]

[the_girl_who_waited]

Ireland? You mean on Earth right? I've heard of that place.

[riastrad_ridire]

Yeah, it's on Earth. Or it was last I checked.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Of course it's on Earth. Don't be silly.

[riastrad_ridire]

Haven't exactly been there in a hell of a long time, kid. At this point, I wouldn't be too stunned if it wasn't.

[the_girl_who_waited]

You've been stuck here for that long?

[riastrad_ridire]

Not exactly. Complicated situation, kid.

[the_girl_who_waited]

I'm not a kid, mister.

[ Boy if he could see her, he'd probably try to bed her :|

Spoiler: She might let him if she knew he was Cuchootrain. WHY ]

[riastrad_ridire]

From where I'm sittin', pretty much everyone might as well be.

[oh my.]

[the_girl_who_waited]

And what do you mean by that exactly?

[usedreturn]

Did you know there's an entire planet that smells like cinnamon?

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ I want to go to there. ]

No way. [ Okay, that's a little less disbelief and a whole lotta "WHY DIDN'T WE VISIT THAT PLANET??" ] And apples?

[usedreturn]

Yes, definitely. Definitely one that smells like apples. There might just be a whole...fruit basket galaxy. Full of planets that smell like fruit.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Now that's a good idea. The next time you want to make things up to me, take me to the fruit basket galaxy.

[usedreturn]

Let's just avoid the apple planet. [Because ew, apples.]

Pears, on the other hand. I could live with a planet that smelled like pears. Maybe it'd even be shaped like one. A planet shaped like a pear that smells like a pear. It'd just be a giant pear with trees and cities and all the little planet bits on it.

[the_girl_who_waited]

You just need to give apples a second, honest try.

[ APPLES ARE ~NOSTALGIC~ BF5EVER. ]

Can planets really be any other shape besides a sphere?

[usedreturn]

[EW, APPLES]

Well. No. Not really. Not that I know of, more like. Probably not.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ Look Doctor, these ones even have STICKS in them:

]

I didn't stump you, did I?

[usedreturn]

[EW HISS GET IT AWAY]

Me? No, never. It takes a lot more than that to stump me, I'll have you know.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ These are not cleverly disguised apples at all. Nope.



Nope. Nope. Nope. ]

So you can say with confidence that there isn't a planet like that?

[usedreturn]

[WOMAN YOU ARE EVIL]

I think you of all people would have learned by now to not definitively rule out anything as being impossible.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ No, creative. It takes creative ways to get apple bits inside of you, Mister Doctor!! ]

Right, but it'd be nice to be able to say "told you so" once. You always have that "told you so" grin on your face half the time after all.

[usedreturn]

[that just sounds wrong]

When you've been around for this long, some of the most fun you can have is giving people the 'I told you so' look.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ EYEBROW WAGGLE. ]

Yes, and some of us would like to share in that fun sometime!

[usedreturn]

Problem with that. Little problem, tiiiiiiny little problem.

I almost never need to get that look.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Well see, you've forgotten just how it feels to get one. Sounds like a good reason to have me be the deliverer of it.

[usedreturn]

And if I'm ever actually wrong, you can go right ahead and do that.

[the_girl_who_waited]

So about planets a bit lacking in the spherical department...

[usedreturn]

What about them?

[the_girl_who_waited]

We should go on a hunt for one.

[usedreturn]

Have I ever told you I like how you think?

[the_girl_who_waited]

Not nearly enough times. That's only fair though since I rarely comment, if ever, on your brilliance.
