Clara barely slept in her adrenaline junkie phase. It's because she was always dreaming of Danny and being in that Dalek too and it was one way to keep awake

[lookedinfinite]

laugh is a tiny thing, a drop in an ocean of noise, where even the softest wind could easily be louder than her. "you know me, beloved. I'm always awake." even as a mortal she slept so very rarely - her head always too busy to allow her actual time to simply exist. weight shifts, moving brunette to lie more on her side than back, gentle hand reaching to stroke other's hair back, to keep it from familiar yet ever enchanting feature. "how could I sleep without you by my side?" clara is the only safety she's ever had - one of few truly permanent things she's ever been lucky enough to be part of. "now tell me about it. the stars can bear witness, but I'm a better conversationalist." 

[venturehearta]

Even though Maeve's laugh is small, it doesn't and will never make her smile. It's like music, an unusual composition that is so powerful that it makes the stars shine brighter, the entire world vibrating at a higher frequency for however long it lasts and just a little while longer. If she could, she'd make her dear wife laugh for all the days they have. Her eyes soften at the way Maeve moves her hair out of the way, and she reaches her arm around her wife's shoulder to pull her closer. Her eyes travel to the sky. "Sometimes I miss the feeling of the waves, you know? Still waters are never somewhere you want to be in. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever shake it. And then I start thinking about why I've done it in the first place..." She smiles again and glances over at her. "Sometimes I think too much, that's all. I know you get like that too."

[driftvoid]

“It has nothing to do with Mario Kart! There are no cars for a start! And you don’t throw evil blue shells at the one winning fair and square!” Perhaps he was still holding a grudge against Clara, because of the last time one of their games had ended, but he surely couldn’t believe her comparison – an expression on her face as if she had just tried to tell him Earth’s moon was made out of blue cheese. Not that there weren’t moons out there, that were technically made out of something one might call the equivalent of cheese, even if it was probably no longer edible and…

He snapped back to the here and now at Clara’s question and raised the arms to the sky, as if BEGGING some higher being to interfere. “Claraaa! The green hoop obviously lets any other ball you have on the field explode, because you can only reach the goal with ONE?!”

[venturehearta]

"I said MEETS Mario Kart, not turned Mario Kart. There's a difference, you know. Also, the point of the game is that it's a challenge. Blue shells are a part of that. If you're far enough ahead, blue shells aren't really much of a problem. If you aren't, it's a challenge to see if you can get back to first place in time," Clara retorted easily, smiling at the way it was obvious how the conversation turned. Oh she'd love to beat him at Mario Kart again and again just to put him in his place a little bit.

"Oh yeah, because that was super obvious from the ZERO clues you gave me about it. I'd say I'd challenge you to a game of it but that would just end up with you being all smug. We'd be better off playing battleships again. Or something else. Wait, do you reckon there's a real life Mario Kart?"

[venturehearta]

@whatspoilers asked ❛ it’s not stealing if it was mine to begin with. ❜

"Well, I think that sort of depends," Clara replies, her voice laced with amusement. She puts her hands in her pockets. Smiling, she tilts her head at River and raises her eyebrows at her. "How did they end up getting it in the first place then? Did they steal it or did you sell it?"

[venturehearta]

@starsbuilt asked "It's hard to focus when you're sitting so close."

"Oh yeah?" Unfazed, Clara presses her elbow against the table, uses it as leverage to scoot a little closer and lean her chin against her hand. Warm brown eyes look at Soph as she smiles, pregnant silence filling the air for a few seconds. Her tongue scrolls over her lips before she grins. "Maybe that's the point. I can move though, if you want me to. I don't mind." She leans in, close enough to whisper in Soph's ear. "But you do look very pretty like this."

[venturehearta]

@earthdcfended asked “   my name is of no importance .   ” / howie / royalty au

She can admire the way he's thrown her sentiment back at her, finds it quite funny even. "I disagree," Clara replies easily, smile audible in her voice. "You aren't a peasant. You're too smartly dressed for one for starters, too well spoken and you wouldn't have the means to make something like that if you were." She leans against the tree next to her and folds her arms. "Do you want me to continue or what? Because I know I can find out your name whether you deign to tell me or you don't.""

[venturehearta]

@mattellaneous asked “   i think i’ve always been pretty much the same .   ” - Osgood

"Yeah, I've sort of noticed that." Clara tried to say it with as much kindness as possible. She'd just gone on a bit of a ramble, talking about how much good going to different places can do, how some places can stay in your heart and change things, because nothing ever stayed the same.

"Sort of why I dragged you here. Get you out of your routine, experience something new that's not just about aliens. Well...hopefully not about aliens," she laughed and shrugged. "No one can stay the same for too long, Osgood. Everyone has to change, so does everything. It's part of life, you know. It's like the way you love dressing as the Doctor. It's cute, and I'm glad you have fun with it but...have you ever thought of dressing for yourself?"

[whatspoilers]

Under different circumstances, River loves her wife's mischievousness. Lips press together in a thin line. She stares at her unimpressed. She'll have to be precise. She raises her eyebrows. (Better than an impatient sigh.) "Say, 'you won fair and square.'"

[venturehearta]

Clara has always been more stubborn than anything, stern look on River's face not fazing her one bit. If anything it amuses her more. "Now why would I do that? We both know you're very capable of playing dirty."

[driftvoid]

A gentle nod at Howie’s question, even if he couldn’t help feeling like this was a lie. He didn’t know whether Chloe would be alright in the end, did he? BUT HE HAD TO BELIEVE IT. If he lost hope now, too, then they wouldn’t get anywhere and Ed hoped, that he just looked more convincing with the nod, than he felt. She would be alright. If he kept repeating it to himself, over and over, he might wash away his own doubts, too. She had to be.

At least answering Howie’s next question was easier; the chuckle escaping him real enough. “ – when’s your aunt NOT on duty, Howie?” Managed the calm, amused tone as if nothing had happened. As if they were not talking about how Howie would have to spend some time in medical as well – the marks on his head just another reminder that they hadn’t fully answered what had happened here. Some contraption on Howie’s head. Something that had forced Howie to attack Chloe? No sense in trying to piece a puzzle together, when he knew he was missing most of it still.

“ – But I promise you, she will not treat you. I think it would be better if Ellie is only involved in Chloe’s treatment. She was, back when Chloe first crashed, too. She’s as much of an expert as we can get. And I don’t doubt, she is the best for this job, too.” Another smile, trying to reach his eyes. What would he give to feel more certain in the answers he was giving. At least Clara’s question, he could answer with another nod, feeling sure about his answer. “We’ll organise anything for you, Howie. Whatever you want.”

[earthdcfended-archive-deactivat]

He can't stay here forever. With the dust settling and reality starting to set back in, Howie is starting to see the sheer scale of things to come, and it all starts with leaving this place. No matter how much Clara and Ed can try to shield him from the worst of it, he's still going to have to face the drive back to London. The intake assessment at the medical centre. Answering questions. So many questions. And he knows - expects - that those questions are going to start with how he got those scabs on his temples. He'll have to explain that. And he doesn't know that he has it in him to do so.

But the alternative is staying here, and without Chloe's body to protect and stand vigil over, what's the point? Howie downs what's left of his juice. The only way to get through this is the rip off the plaster and just deal with it as quickly as possible. "Okay. Okay, fine, I'll..." Deep breath. "I'll go. But Eleanor-- she needs to treat Chloe. Because she can't treat me -- she'd be going against that policy about treating family, and Chloe needs her way more. I mean it. Chloe needs the best. So I'll go if Chloe gets the best. And I'll go if I don't have to stay for ages."

He nods. They seem like fair conditions. He needs a shower. He needs to get some sleep. He could probably do with some Supernoodles. That isn't too much to ask, surely. He shrugs off his friends' hands keeping him in place - like he's some sort of flight risk - and gets unsteadily to his feet. "And... maybe if I can get some Supernoodles. The plain chicken ones.."

[venturehearta]

They're going to have to be careful with this. With him. They're going to need to take it step by step, at whatever speed Howie prefers. A part of her feels like they'll have to rip the plaster off eventually, but this is more like a bandage over a significant wound. Taking it off without due caution and care could overwhelm Howie and just make things a hundred times worse. No one wants that. Not after all that he's been through already.

Clara sighs softly and nods at him, smiling. "I think that's a great solution. I mean, I don't have any say in the medical stuff. I'm pretty sure I'd get a cold hard stare and a reprimand even if I tried." Her smile widens a little. They all know she wouldn't pay attention to it, but the thought is there. "We'll do what we can though, yeah? You can shout the odds at them too when we get there."

"Oh. Whoa." She gets up as soon as he decides to do the same, gently grabbing his arm to make sure he keeps upright. "Steady on there, mate," she chuckles and glances at Ed. "I don't reckon you know what those are, do you Ed? Fancy an education and try and get those sorted? And we'll get you to a car, eh?"

@strtravels

[lookedinfinite]

her title makes her uncomfortable: like a child wearing clothing three sizes too big, intended for someone else entirely. chloe means well - she always does - but maeve wonders if she's blind to the way maeve would rather stay in the shadows... or if she simply views as helping her by shoving her up the ranks bit by bit. maeve has always been fine with nobody knowing the sheer amount of responsibilities she carries, yet chloe isn't as willing to let hard work go without due thanks.

"and you? you know my name, it seems unfair I have nothing to refer to you as." she lets stranger move her hands all the same, checking them for any blood amongst the dirt. it's weird. not just the thought of being saved, but how other still lingers, how worried she seems. "I'm sure it's fine. I've had deeper." despite her title - it's clear she's not the kind to never get her hands dirty, a lifetime of hard work apparent in her hands. "I'll just wrap it, wash it when I pass the river on the way back."

[venturehearta]

Some could say Clara has no responsibilities. A merchant's daughter, whose death left her a fine inheritance that had set her up for life. She had no obligations, but after spending the grieving period doing what she wanted, she realised that staying still wasn't exactly for her. She had sold the house, ensured all the staff were well looked after, then squirreled the funds away in a place even she had to concentrate on finding when she returned once in a while. Responsibility, though, is easy to find when you have a big heart. She just thrives on having that in the shadows, with freedom still on her side.

She laughs softly and turns her head away at Maeve's question. When her eyes return to the brunette, there are sparkles in her warm brown irises. "That is rather bold of you, Maeve. Don't you know that naming something such as me destroys my power entirely?" She smiles. "How about we make a bargain? You allow me to treat your wounds and return you to your residence and I will consider it if you ask me again nicely, once I have returned you."
