Board Games
Who: Rose Tyler, Will Stanton, Clara Oswald
What: Board games book!
When: Orientation
Where: Board games book world :T
Warnings: Rose will be campy, I don't even apologize.
Notes: Starting with checkers!
Rose braced herself for a tough landing, and maybe even some foggy memories like being transmat beamed somewhere, but to her relief it was like none of those things, and she was crouched down as if she'd dimension cannon'd back in the earlier days before they could stabilize it even a little, back when it really was like getting shot out of a cannon; down on a perfect red square, lined with black ones on all sides, and red ones going diagonally. "Checkers?" she mumbled quietly, blinking, and taking it in.
The desire to laugh warred internally with her desire not to underestimate the danger of anywhere. Especially after the time with the Anne-droid and the Weakest Link, she wanted to take it seriously. And things were their most dangerous when they seemed nonthreatening, a joke. Although that said, she still couldn't help grinning. ADVENTURE! A CHECKERS ADVENTURE! Even nearly getting sucked into the void, she couldn't help but grinning, and this was probably a little less dangerous. She hoped.
"All right then," she laughed, bracing herself in her square, careful to make sure not to step out of line. "Let's see our opponents, yeah?" she gestured to the opposing side, already mentally running through strategies --
"Oh shoot," she bit her bottom lip. "Please don't have weird Gallifreyan alien rules or something." She almost wished Mickey was there. He was better at Checkers than her, but at least she would give it her best.
