genessia | [Video ] An important announcement

[Cassian and Kay's house is often lively and, while Kay is trying to keep what is happening behind him mostly out of frame, Cassian and some pokemon can be spotted.]

Does anybody know a good blacksmith that can weld my wedding ring into place? [Kay raises his left hand and sure enough, there's a white gold ring around his finger.] It keeps falling off because my frame's too smooth and I don't want to lose it by accident.

[Any attempts at seriousness are ruined when there's a yelp, a shout of] Galantea! Get back here right now! [and then there's a Sylveon wearing a tiny tuxedo throwing herself at Kay smugly crowing Sylveon! Sylveon! Cassian appears a moment later, plucking her from Kay’s shoulder. If you look closely, you can see a matching wedding ring on Cassian’s hand, worn along with the gunmetal-grey ring made of Kay’s frame he’s been wearing since Christmas.]

That’s it, you’ve been wearing this tux since the wedding. Enough now. [For his troubles, he gets his cheek licked– slowly and slobbery and with great relish. He finally notices the phone in Kay’s hand.] If you’re going to announce it, you might as well tell them we’ll be unavailable for our honeymoon.

Did you know in the Doctor's universe, humans are the only species that go camping? That makes me giggle for some reason.

What doesn't he like about Nova? New York wouldn't treat him the way Nova does. Depending on the century. Early enough, between the 1900s and 2500s, they'd probably treat him the same as any human. A lot of people wander the city in costumes. It's a strange place.

Oh. I had never thought about that, but they would assume it's a very advanced costume, wouldn't they?

[ Now that's worth some consideration. Worth testing, too, if he can convince Kay to give it a try. ]

He doesn't feel comfortable in Nova City, even with the rights robots have there nowadays it reminds him too much of the inequalities at home. He's also more vulnerable there. People who wish to do him harm will know exactly how to go about it with a robot, unlike in the other towns... and we do have a talent for running into trouble.

They'd love him. Even more the the more he said it wasn't. Even if they believe him, they'll just ask him to the robot.

[Holds up a finger, and demonstrates.] It's a dance.

Yeah, he'll probably be fine in New York then! The food's really good, the hotels are not so go elsewhere at night, but its famous monument is the Statue of Liberty, by the same guy: Eiffel as Paris' tower. If you go on New Year's they have fireworks, but I think their time just corresponds with ours, no pickin' and choosin'. And some of the museums and things might interest you two, not really sure. It's one of the reasons I don't suggest it with the Doctor. [LAUGHS.] He'd drag me to all the museums and library and I'd just rather people watch at Times Square, the statue, or catch every broadway play ever. Never go to historical museums with a time traveler. They just like to show off how they lived it, and then you have to tell 'em to put their money where their mouth is and take you there instead.

Oh! There's great music and discos and nightlife though, and they'd let Kay in easy peasy. Just ask me an' Jack if you need a fake ID for him anywhere in the other gates. With Jack, it might not even be fake. I never did get the full story of his adventures in America. That's where New York is.

I don't think I'm in a hurry to be telling him about the discos and nightlife but it sounds like he would enjoy New York. He likes the friendly attention, and I'll probably like the museums. It's useful to learn about a people's history to understand them better, but I never had time for such things back home.

[ He looks more than a little amused. ]

I'll make sure to stay away from museums in the company of time travellers, though. That sounds like good advice. I'm pretty sure I would be insufferable in a museum that interests me, too.

Good!

Nah, not like him. Unless you'd go around correcting everything and making comments about they got things wrong and you call Cleopatra Cleo, and married her. Enthusiasm is adorable, and the fun of going on adventures with him! The arrogance and smug superiority I could do without.

But don't tell him I said that. [Locks this even.]

Earth's basically his second home, we've adopted him, and him us, because his birth planet was erased from time. So he likes to show off. A LOT. I still love him, but I hate museums with him sometimes. Maybe if it was more interactive, yeah? [Laughs.] Then again.... One time I thought I was gonna be a model for a statue, but I got trapped as a statue instead, so to avoid a paradox, he went and learned sculpting for six months from one of Earth's best sculptors of all time. Romantic, yeah, but also, does nothing to dissuade his ego, yeah?

[Pretending to be the Doctor with a sniff.] My sculpture is better.

And he says I'm too competitive!

Plus the only stuff he gets that giddy over is the stuff they do on school lectures! Well, hardly surprising given he wound up doing that himself, but he's got it all backwards! I wanna hear about the stuff no one else knows! And see it with own hands and live it, yeah? But seeing as you didn't grow up on Earth, I don't think you'd get bored like me. [Another laugh.] So have fun you two, yeah?

[ Wow, that is... a lot of opinions, even by his standards. He tries to take it all in and file away the information for later but Rose is a lot to handle. Cassian just nods along. ]

I'm sure you're not too competitive. [ It's offered a little tentatively. He's not sure if it's true but he should probably agree. She did give him good information about New York and Paris. ]

And I don't think I will get bored with school lecture information, no. I've never had these school lectures... and I'm used to dry information. A year of reading case files has me well prepared for, ah, history museums.

Oh, I am! I just don't have his male ego. [Tongue loll grin, so present company excluded.]

Ew. You just sold me on never running for guardian. There's too much paperwork just in Torchwood!

[ No offense taken. He even chuckles a little. ]

Oh yes, if you don't like paperwork I don't think you would enjoy being Guardian... or if you can't stand it, at least, I doubt there's ever been a Guardian who truly enjoyed it. Mind you, you could probably get away with not doing it but that'd just lead to more trouble down the road.

Ewww.

So glad my Dad didn't get much into politics. Least not beyond what Torchwood already was, yeah?

I'm sure you've got your fair share of paperwork for Torchwood yourself. Can't be easy between the two companies you have there.
