Re: River Song | Doctor Who

"Time traveling....." Her eye swent huge, then she grabbed River by the arms, moving swiftly and with surprising speed, kissed her on the lips, swing around happily once and set her back down, eyes dancing. "Perfect! I need your help. You're exactly what my city needs. Please say you'll help!"

Also not boring, being around Agatha for any length of time. And she is completely unaware that she just acted... oddly...

That was not the usual response River got when she mentioned her profession. Far from it actually... So she was definitely a bit surprised at the kiss even if she didn't seem to mind in the slightest.

"Why Hello to you to. First, what do you mean? I just got here so how can I bee exactly what this city needs?"

She's not saying no, but, she's not saying yes either. Not until she hears more about why she got such an interesting reaction out of her newest acquaintance.

"What? Oh. Not this city. I'm from Mechanicsburg. Someone came into my town and set iff a time bomb, Whole town is time locked. I went to Paris to try to find Doctor Zardeliv, since he's the foremost expert on time and temporal anomalies, when I wound up here instead. I met two men both claiming to be the doctor, but from another universe, neither really much help, and one of them threatened me after giving me an idea how to proceed...." She was still irritated by that. She shook her head. "But if you actually travel through time, you can help! I mean, I have Van Rjin's notes on Prende's Lantern and the Muse of Time, but it's been slow going getting through it all."

Someone was over the moon excited.

"But now you're here and you can HELP!"

Even with her experience with strange and unusual circumstances, she was finding herself both amused and surprised at the explanation. However, the mentioning of two men claiming to be The Doctor is what caught her attention the most.

"As exciting as that sounds, You mentioned two men both claiming to be The Doctor?"

"YEs, and neither of them look the least bit like Violetta's family, though I know that doesn't always mean anything."

Re: River Song | Doctor Who

[tardisdiary]

That got a curious look at least. "Not going to ask. However, Can you tell me what they look like? This is rather important for me to know."

Re: River Song | Doctor Who

[agathaheterodyne]

She felt like they were getting off topic, but alright. "One of them looked at first like a rather foppish bird." Maybe he was related to Tarvek after all. "Like a construct more than a natural bird, anyway. Large enough to take me flying. Then as a person shaped person, little on the short and narrow side," Might be worth noting Agatha is a little on the tall and broad side, though she's fairly average, even small, for her world. "Brown hair that sticks up worse than mine. Other had short hair, kind of biggish ears, and moved like he was ticked off. Or had a stomach ache. Kind of hard to tell which. Harmonics just outside of Spark range."

That depended on whose topic they were following. River viewed it as getting on the only topic that mattered at the moment. The rest of was secondary.

"...Out of the four of them, only two of them sound familiar. Though, I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about when you say 'Spark'."

"Oh, no, that was just two people, sorry is I wasn't clear. Sparks..." She sighed a bit. Why was no one here from home? Well, except the reindeer, her dingbots, and her weasel...

"Sparks are people like me. And among other things.. out voice harmonics enter what are known as command ranges. Honestly, Tarvek studied this more than I have, all things considered. Actually when he's done dying, I'd kind of love to see his notes, given what Avenka managed toi do my duplicating the command harmonics in my voice. Anyway, all Sparks have a command range, but how strong it is, and how wide depends on the Spark. When working in command ranges, it's easier to get people to obey you. Of course, there are whole fields of study on what makes someone more or less likely to obey a given Spark, or at all. Most often, Sparks are immune to command ranges of other Sparks, but... not always. It's actually a fascinating field for anyone interested in biology, new discoveries are being made constantly. I've always been a bit more focused mechanically, but having seen command harmonics utilized by a a clank body... I have to wonder about the applications in clanks where the original software was not actually a living mind. But that also requires Tarvek's notes, since it's not like Avenka is likely to let me reverse engineer her..."

Re: River Song | Doctor Who

[tardisdiary]

River was listening... and rather interested more she heard about the woman's world. It sounded very unique and certainly fun by her standards. Perhaps if she ever got out of here...

"So, let me see if I understand. Sparks operate on a voice harmonic that's different from a standard humans and can usually get people to follow their commands with that ability, correct? Or am I missing something?"

"More or less. It's not really something most of us do intentionally. It just happens when we're in a fugue state, what is more commonly known as the madness place. But sometimes just extreme emotions can trigger it." Which... might me another reason the locket kept her from feeling any for so long....
