® .088. and everything in its place

[banished_dame]

Adjusting is always easier if you surround yourself with familiar things, yeah?

The castle just overloaded me. [The sound in the background would be a stack of books that's just lost their balance. Rose waves it off... she'll get to it.]

Everything I ever owned in the years I was in this place has just been returned to me.

'Mean, I know I wasn't always the neatest resident, but this is forcing me to clean. [She sighs, running her hand through her hair as she glances around her room.]

Sort'v not very fair of it.

[She makes a clicking sound with her tongue and then exhales, clapping her hands to get started.]

Oh! Anyone seen a lil' dinosaur 'round? Most my pets have seemed to wander on back, but she's missin'. I was just wondering.

'Scusin' me, miss, but --

Did'ja just say dinosaur?

[banished_dame]

Yeah, small - bit of a plant eater. I called her Alice.

[spiritusaequitas]

Sorry, but, last I checked, those were a bit extinct....

[banished_dame]

Yeah... just the castle does this thing.

Random places, new worlds -- one had dinosaurs.

[heloise]

Will you be needing help?

[banished_dame]

I'm not sure I'd want everyone seein' this disaster, but the offer is really sweet of you.

[heloise]

I can keep secrets. [ Only she can't. It's her loss. ]

[banished_dame]

Oh? [Rose is amused.]

Well, apparently I can keep everything... all in my room.

[bloodsugar]

Cleaning... the bane of many's existence, for sure. You poor dear.

[...see him not offering to help LSKDJFSDF he's such a good friend.]

[banished_dame]

[She notices that.]

It's dreadful, really. And where are you to help with this?

[bloodsugar]

Me? Oh-- my dear Rose, you know I would love to help a friend in need, but my schedule for the day is absolutely packed! Filled to the brim! If I were to write everything I have to finish down, it'd stretch for pages and be quite boring, I assure you!

But you know I'd be there in an instant if I could, right?

[banished_dame]

Oh, of course, you'd be here ready and waiting to give me the best amount of help possible.

[She's teasing, of course.]

So. When are you comin' for tea?

[withmymind]

Not here.

[banished_dame]

Where would here be, so I can cross it off my list?

[withmymind]

Kitchen. The food is still here.

[banished_dame]

I'll make sure to take it off my list.

It's River, yeah? [She'd heard a bit from the one before. Never really talked to her, but knew the Doctor was close to her.]

[longaevus]

Rose. [ There's a smile in her voice ] How have you been settling in?

[banished_dame]

Seems the castle isn't opting to let me ease into it, but I'm doing pretty good.

[longaevus]

I'm glad for that. If you need any help please do let me know.

[luthored]

Dinosaur? What kind?

[banished_dame]

Small. Plant eater. Came back with me from the whole Jurassic thing. She's sort'v a trouble maker.

Most the other animals ended up with me, 'cept her.

[luthored]

You mean Sansa? She's missing again?

[Dictated]

[knightprodigy]

I guess I'm right in thinking you've been here before. [Which was obvious from her post, but it's Dick trying to be funny. Something which he's not very good at it right now, or that's how it feels at any rate.]

You mind if I ask when you got back?

dictated ]

[banished_dame]

Oh, I don't mind at all. I was in Paris... that whole, gone but not really gone bit.

[dictated]

[knightprodigy]

Ah yeah. Familiar with that myself.
