019 [Video | Action for flat mates]

[Rose is lying diagonally across her bed when the video comes up. She looks a bit preoccupied.]

City's quiet again. Always interestin' to see who shows up though. Anybody have someone from home stay this time?

[Locked from the Doctors, Donna, Jenny, Amy, Rory, & Jack]

I know there's all sortsa people here from all sortsa different worlds. I'd guess mosta those worlds got some sorta legend 'bout the fountain of youth or immortality, yeah?

M'interested in hearin' 'em.

Right. So you don't know anything 'bout it. You're just curious why I want to know 'bout it.

I didn't say that; I've got a pretty good grasp on one version.

[There's that smirk again.]

We've also got an entire history of movies chronicling just about every version of the Fountain of Youth or immortality in general that you could ever think of, probably including pornos somehow. So.

[She has an idea what you're talking about and she hasn't ruled it out but it is on the bottom of her list]

M'not interested in movies. More curious about the truth.

[Well. IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND, ROSE. He'll be here. And more than happy to make that happen.]

Every story's true, on some level.

Some are just more true than others.

(she will keep that in mind!)

Usually the way of it, innit?

Since the beginning of time. Or...modern civilization, anyway.

So what's truth and what's fiction?

How should I know? I didn't think the legions of the undead were a thing until recently. All I'm saying is if you look at things close enough there's gonna be something real about it.

So...you're recently...immortal?

Vampire.

[But this time the fangs are away when he smirks; just a deathly pale boy with dirty fingernails, nothing terribly off here. He's done making impressions.]

But yeah.

Fangs tipped me off. [Yeah he looks like he ought to be taking his A levels]

Sun a problem? I mean, if you don't mind me askin' questions. M'Rose by the way.

I'd hope so; they aren't exactly subtle.

I'm Ed. Nah, I'm not like touchy about it or anything. Best fucking thing ever happened to me, actually. But yeah, unfortunately. [A casual shrug.] Could be worse though; at least I can still eat garlic.

[Small snicker.]

Nice to meet you, Ed. [Obviously chatting up a vampire happens every day...not]

Well that's somethin' I guess. Why's it the best thing to happen to you?

...Dude. Have you ever seen a vampire before? Or even watched a movie with one. It's like that, only times...a billion. It's fucking kick.ass. It's like...there's a whole different level to everything. Like you can do anything. Why the fuck wouldn't it be?

[She bites her bottom lip. Sorry, Ed. She lives with a Time Lord. She's a bit hard to impress.]

Seen a few. M'sure it's brilliant. Can you eat chips?

[She's getting to the really important questions.]

[It's okay; he's hopped up on the power enough to be impressed for the both of them.

The question throws him for a loop though, and he looks momentarily puzzled.]

...Yeah, I think so. My sire eats apples, so it probably wouldn't kill me or anything. Why?

[That is very fortunate. Really.

She shrugs a bit.]

I like chips. Wouldn't want to give 'em up.

Barbecue? Oh yeah, definitely. That'd be a loss.

[...He's more into gummy worms when he feels like actually eating, but you know. To each his own.]

Right. American. You call 'em fries. Your chips are 'crisps' across the pond.

Oh, yeah, the British thing. But yeah, fries too. A life without fries would royally suck, I guess.

I sorta think so. Bit worried 'bout the whole sun thing. M'guessin' you have to drink blood, yeah?

[A smirk and a snicker.] Awe, you're worried about me. Cute. I've got blackout curtains and shit, as long as nobody blasts through the wall or anything I should be fine.

Yeah, more classical style, none of that wussy "I feed off your emotions" bullshit. [And now we're back to the darker smirk.] Why, would you be interested in volunteering?

[...For donating. But he'll leave connecting the dots to her.]

[She's really, really not. She's more concerned about the cramp being 'sun sensitive' is going to put on time and space travel. The Doctor will have to try and land the TARDIS at night consistently. Considering there are trips he has problems getting the right century, it could be a problem.

She doesn't quite have the heart to tell him that though.]

Just curious 'bout how you handle it.

[She arches an eyebrow at him.] Fairly sure my boyfriend'd have a problem with that.

[...He's the Doctor. Chances are he could figure something out; Time Lords do have vampire DNA themselves, after all.]

Don't go out when the magical Day-Ball's out, mostly. It works out surprisingly well for me.

[Smirk, but it's teasing.]

Well who says we'd have to tell him?

[...More than half serious, but it's all casual-like all the same.]

[She rolls her eyes at him and chuckles a little.]

Sorta think he'd notice. S'alright. Think I'll keep my neck to myself.
