[Fortescue is sitting in the gazebo as she fiddles with the wrist comm. Jazz is visible in the background, on one of the rails; he has a beetle pinned under one black paw, apparently for his own amusement.

She's staving off a headache by taking a break in her fishing. Using magic has its problems.]

Our worlds seem to share plenty of differences, but the similarities, I think, are just as interesting. Shared ideas amongst the multiverse. So, if you'd care to indulge me, what are some of your favorite things in popular culture?

[private to Donna Noble]

[She schools her expression into a more serious one.]

Given the recent disappearances, I think it would be a good idea to spring our 'list' plan into action. What do you think?

[private to Erik Lehnsherr]

I understand you've been teaching B— Dilandau how to cook? I hope it hasn't been too maddening.

Seems like a great idea. The disappearances have seemed to be more frequent lately...

[He visibly perks up. Pop culture? POP CULTURE?! Finally, his time to shine has come!]

My favourite thing about pop culture is when other people aren't completely oblivious to it. You're... what, the third other person? Congratulations, sweetheart. Yet another virtue to add to your list.

[He'd be more specific, only he loves everything, more or less. Every dumb sitcom, every movie, every silly drama - call it an Ariel-like love of humanity or escapism or whatever you like, but he mostly calls it an absolutely brilliant way to spend his time. Less fun than just desserts maybe, but even the most dedicated serial killer has to take a break once in a while, and watching TV with a bottle of champers and a bowl of ice cream is his one hundred percent favourite way to do it. It had been the same, once, with books and plays and operas, but the sheer variety available through the television are particularly appealing. (Besides, he can't very well go to the theatre in just his underwear).]

Popular culture? The galaxy is a large place.

[She shrugs a little, but smiles.]

I admit I have perhaps a guilty appreciation for Blasto films.

[Something she probably wouldn't admit if she thought it at all likely than anyone here would know what sort of ridiculous movie that is.]

[Someone's looking far better than they have in weeks. It could just be he's cracked and gone for a full face of makeup, or it could be that he's actually completely healed. He snickers at her question]

If you want to know that badly, I'll sing a few songs in the bath tonight.

Bad action movies. Good ones, too, sure, they're both great for escapism, but there's something about the bad ones. Good for a laugh. Helps put things in perspective sometimes.

[Like maybe her life is a nightmare sometimes, but hey, at least she's got it better than Tom Cruise or Will Smith on any given day. Way fewer robots.]

The cheesiness of the dialogue is directly proportionate to my level of enjoyment.

[ Erik's laugh is mostly breath; he is ...aware of what Dilandau is like, uh. ]

Nothing insurmountable. Why the concern for my welfare?

Terrible pop music. [ He smiles and it's totally indulgent. Secret Lady GaGa fan, anyone? ] Though I hope the type I know isn't universal because that would be alarming.
