...Well. That's certainly...interesting.

Really, Romana, I would expect better from you.

I think everyone feels bound by something, even if it's nothing we understand.

*grins* You did.

*eyes it* What? I don't see anything wrong with it?

((*nods* Wise move, then))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I suppose - even those who seem the most chaotic tend to follow some sort of code, even if no other can decipher it.

Obviously I'll have to be more careful.

It's... *frustratedly* It's rather hard to be taken seriously when you have the face of a bloody cherub.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

They have to, i would think.

Careful is no fun.

*amused* Doctor, I would never take you for a cherub.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Hn. The trouble is understanding it, and using it to your advantage.

Careful is quite a lot easier to deal with.

*bright grin* I'm delighted to hear it.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Possibly that's my failing, then. Using it to my advantage.

Who wants easy?

*beams in return* I just want that very clear.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*is silent for a momen* Tricky business, minds are.

It would make for a refreshing change.

As is that. I'm certain you know how it feels to be treated as far younger than you are.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Or hopelessly simple. *shrugs* It depends on your point of view, I suppose.

Would it? I think it would get dull, quickly.

Oh, yes. Then again, I'm not sure I actually want to be treated my age.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd say they are very rarely simple. You need only to recognise the complexity. Dig deep enough, as it were. ...Not that I promote digging around inside peoples' heads, it's very unpleasant.

Hmm, yes, it probably would. *almost wistfully* Doesn't stop me wondering what it would be like, sometimes.

*lips curve just slightly with mischief* They do say the young get away with more.

((I did not at all forget to write part of my comment. *eyedart* ...Very nice icon, by the way.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

So I've heard rumored. But in the end it all comes down to our basic desires, the things we need or the things we fear.

I suppose I wouldn't know. It's never been.

*amused* Just what are you looking to get away with, Doctor.

((LOL. *is not giggling* And thank you! It was a gift from rude_not_ginger's mun.))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll grant that those are often used to manipulate people with frightening ease.

Nor for me, not truly - or at any rate I can't remember if it was. I'm quite curious about it.

I meant you, actually. *vague, playful smile sharpens into a brief smirk* I'm a perfect gentleman, remember.

((*appreciates that* :p Welcome! Very clever and pretty.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

So I've heard. Never done, of course, but heard.

I suppose it would be something to experience. Sometime.

*arched eyebrow* I have proof one of your incarnations, at least, is not. But my face never let me get away with much of anything. My reputation has always preceeded me.

((*g* It is. *pets it* *attempts to not keep watching the PoTC trailer on repeat*))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I've seen it in action entirely too often.

Yes. Perhaps we should spend a decade or so in the Eye of Orion someday.

Well. I must be growing careless in my old age.

((*coos at it* Heh, mesmerising, is it? ...Was it. Damn that sneaky sleep.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose you have.

You--the other you--keeps suggesting we go there, but as of yet, it hasn't happened. We were supposed to for..oh, various reasons, but. *shrugs*

Yes, I'm sure that's the explanation.

((it really is. even now I have to resist its power, or I'll never get my day started))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Not to say I haven't seen commendable bravery and resistance as well, it's simply...more rare.

I think it's a splendid idea. I've taken friends there before, and it did all of us some good.

*almost petulant expression* You don't believe me?

(("I am POTC, and you will obey me..."))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

It's the more difficult course.

We could all use some rest, I think.

*amused* Do you want me to?

((*blinks, is mesmerized by the shiny*))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Yes. I...Too often I scorn those who don't take it.

Indubitably. Though I must say this has been rather a nice vacation, all told. No carnage, or terror, or pompous speeches...

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest.

(("You will do nothing but look at me for the rest of your days!"))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

They do say tolerance is a virtue? I don't know.

I suppose. No screaming fans, no random acts of imprudent sex, no drugs...Is that a vacation do you think?

If I believe you, won't I be lumping you in with the rest who just see the face...?

((you know, I haven't actually watched it today...))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I could use a bit more of it. Even at my age there are some things I can still stand to work on.

*small smile* I would say so, but then I'm a stuffy old Time Lord. I...am quite glad you're abstaining from the latter.

*grins* An excellent point, no wonder I like you.

((It's a shite hypnotiser, then. Or maybe that's all part of its devious plan.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I think there is always such a thing.

*sighs, possibly a bit petulant* Yes, everyone seems quite keen on that point, when they actually remember I've managed to not use for nearly three months now.

*beams* I am quite likeable when I want to be.

((Or I've just resisted its pull and am stronger now? Or am going to go watch it because I need something shiny right now. One of the two))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. If I was perfect I'd have no idea what to do with myself.

*resists chuckling at said petulance, absolutely beaming instead* Three months, really? That's extraordinary, I'm sure I'm quite proud of you, and Aislinn as well.

*eyes glinting* It's one of your many talents, I suppose.

((It made you think you were growing more resistant so you would be caught unawares by the sudden need for shiny. *nodnod*))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Do you have an idea now?

*arches eyebrow, slight shrug* I suppose. Possibly. No one's said anything for weeks.

*smirks* Something like that. I've far greater ones lurking about.

((EVOL Trailer! *smites it with, um, some sort of smiting device* ))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Not at all. *slight smile* I don't often admit to that, you know.

*frowns* That's quite remiss of them. I...well, would you mind terribly if I said I was proud of you, despite not knowing you as well?

*smirks back, tone teasing* Modesty is a virtue as well, I've heard.

((*lends you Five's cricket bat?* I abuse Comcast with it.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

And yet you did to me. I am honored.

*small smile* I hardly think that's something I would mind.

*chuckles* Not one of mine.

((But....but.....if I really smite it, what if I can't watch it tomorrow?))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*raises eyebrows* I honestly can't tell if you're having me on or not.

*smiles in return, speaking softly and sincerely* Then I am very proud of you, Lord Byron.

*grins* I've been without it at times myself, so I suppose I've little right to scold you.

((You can just smite it a little? Turn off the "Oncoming Storm" mode and switch to "Quite Pissy"?))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I was not.

*smile, flustered a bit now that he got it* Thank you.

I find that rarely stops most people. *wry grin*

((Ahhh, that works then. *smites it lightly*))
