It fits you and is suitably Manticoran in nature/// @ How are you Fred? ! Blitz> The Montecarlo has nothing to fear while Savralomi Blitz is on the case. All in order, no unaccounted for shipments, no dodgy dealers getting by my watch. ! Lavia> ::under breath:: So humble. ! Blitz> Ma'am? @ Irish>///Oh, all right/// :::grumbles::: ! Lavia> Nothing Blitz. The Flying Montecarlo is lucky to have such a diligent security officer. You make everything very safe... and exceedingly dull. @ This is more festive than even Carnival time gets back at the Institute ! Blitz> The passengers pay to have a carefree journey. And we get the best of both worlds. @ Fred> indeed, Doctor. @ When you work at a Hegemony Think Tank they even charge you to put up a bit of used crepe paper @ ::::Fred glances around, taking in the casually dressed passengers::: @ Lucky for my comrades and myself that they recognise the econmic advantage of relaxed mins @Oh really? ! Lavia> I've read the recruitment postings Blitz. "See the Galaxy in style. Travel to exotic anomalies, Live a lifetime of opulence while you work, never have to do more than ferry spoiled rich brats around for a long millenia of minutae! @ When one can let the mind roam there's no telling what profitable scheme may be devised !

Lavia> Wake up Blitz. We're seeing the galaxy from the confines of a very opulent but very plain metal box. I can't help feeling.. we should be doing more than just dropping in to worlds for a few laughs then moving on. There's more to life than just mindless please. There are worlds to build, people to lead... @ Fred> Got it in one, Mr. Bond. @ Fred? ! Blitz> ::erupts into a deep belly laugh:: Now you sound like one of those stodgy politicians we ferry. I get it, practice for the crew talent show right? @ Really? @ Fred>::whispers to the Doctor::: It's Selena, remember? ! Lavia> No, I-- ::sighs in frustration when she realizes he won't get it:: @ What? @ ::Fred steps on the Doctor's foot::: ! ::the door slides open again and in steps Engineer Frax:: @ Sorry,, I thought ... it's a friend I oncw called Fred @ Fred> Perhaps we should go introduce ourselves then, Doctor? !

Blitz> I didn't know they could be made shaken. ! Frax> Neither did the dispenser, hence the overload. @::takes the lemon twist and begins to drink:: ! Frax> But I've never met a transistor I couldn't sweet talk into behaving. ::finishes wiping off the screwdriver and rubs his gleaming bald head:: ! Lavia> Thank goodness for that. Lord knows we couldn't have our drink dispensers on the fritz. ! Lavia> Wouldn't want to distract the passengers from their midnless, drunken fun. ! ::Frax gives Blitz a concerned look:: ! Blitz> The Captain's a little grumpy today. @ Doctor> Romana, it's me, don't you remember? *** u21 has joined #whosim <&*^^!> *** LaviaRoxana sets mode: +o u21 *** TheDoc was kicked by LaviaRoxana (LaviaRoxana) @ Roxana>I'm sorry.
