2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Mandy

1. I went to nearly all the major cities in Europe, the United States, and Asia within a three year period.
2. I once had to climb out a window to avoid being forcefully committed after I was caught in flagrante delicto with another woman.
3. I've been married three times. You know what they say about the definition of insanity

One Of These Is A Lie

Me too, actually. But it'll be fun. I promise I won't act the crazed fan or anything.

I've met someone from the twenty-first century. She helps me understand some of the technology,
but I'm still having trouble with the idea of a telephone that's also a computer that fits in your pocket and doesn't need to be plugged into a wall...it's a bit overwhelming, isn't it?

[That last line makes him frown slightly, and he adds an afterthought.]

I can't imagine what it's been like, but for what it's worth,
I'm happy you're here. I think you deserve more than being stuck with any prudes. You've done so much for people like us.

Sorry, I said I wouldn't be a crazed fan, didn't I?

Just a bit. But it does make it all seem a bit more like I haven't actually gone off the deep end. Now, if I'd known exactly what I was doing with this stuff on arrival, that would have been worrying.

[she's grateful for something that made it easy to choose laughing over crying because damn if it hasn't been a depressingly long time since she's really heard what she and Brian tried to do acknowledged, much less been included in it]

Oh, believe me, compared to a frankly disturbing number that is a rather boring statement.

But not one that's unappreciated. It's actually been a long time since I've really heard anything along those lines. Things haven't been much like what we wanted to make them, I'm afraid.

[the 'we' is hardly concious. Because as much as she'd love to rip it all out of Brian's hands, she can't. For a glorious moment, they'd been a team and they'd made something fantastic. It's hard to believe that a little over a decade ago she'd thought it would last. When in the hell did she start resigning herself to the fact what they had back in her time was going to be permenant]

But perhaps what we're suposed to be doing here will go a ways towards fixing that. Can't exactly make things that much worse, I suppose it's possible we can still make it a bit beyond tolerable.
