[August 4] [Doctor Who] Powderkegs
Title: Powderkegs
Theme 4: She left her life on Monday
Series: Doctor Who (seventh incarnation)
Character: Ace (pre-Dragonfire)
Rating: General
The important thing was to never look back. She was here now, and there was little else to be done with it.
This logic did not, of course, prevent her realization five minutes later that Iceworld was perhaps the most boring place in the universe that she could have been stranded in. Still, after one near miss with Security, Ace found it in herself to hunker down in a corner and consider her chances of survival. Her next step was disappointingly clear.
And so she pushed on as normal—found a job (waitressing, just as scummy and degrading as it had been back on Earth), located a room to stash the essentials (clothes, explosives, spare deodorant cans), and got used to things being just as mundane as it had been back home, except with fewer names she could pronounce and infinitely more bizarre characters gadding around aisle 12 of the freezer center. And it was boring. If Ace had ever had any expectations about the unknown, this killed them just about dead.
Still, she kept at it—tinkered with the recipe for Nitro 9, held her tongue (unless that scumbag Glitz showed up at the café), and found herself waiting, as if poised for something, with the same whole-hearted teenage impatience that she received everything with. She would explode otherwise, and she wasn't sure yet if she would take the rest of the station with her or not.
Luckily for her, it didn’t come to that.
An adventure?
“Oh, cool, Professor, can I come too?”
