Bouquet

Bouquetby Red Wolf

Looking out the window, Rose could see a huge fire blazing across the town below. "Where are we?"

"September 1666. Great Fire of London." The Doctor folded his arms and surveyed the devastation in progress. "Helped stop the plague."

Absently scratching her leg, Rose froze at his words. "So aside from fleas and rat bites, I could be infected with the Black Death?"

"TARDIS will fix you right up. Thought you'd like to see a little history."

Rose leaned out, smelling smoke and the ripe aroma of 17th century London. "Next time can we pick a place with indoor plumbing?"

History is a hell of a lot neater (and less smelly) in books — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:42 AEST | #
Interesting...wonder what he'd say if she asked how the fire started! — via LiveJournal — posted by Caz at 11.07.2005 13:43 AEST | #
Introduce her to the baker? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:44 AEST | #
The Fifth Doctor was partly responsible for the fire starting :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Caz at 11.07.2005 13:44 AEST | #
Ring a ring a Roses,
A pocket full of posies...

Well just made me think of the plague is all! ;)

Can't you just imagine the joys of smell-o-vision coupled with the Discovery Channel? Not a lot of fun — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:48 AEST | #
Heh.

I do love Rose's last sentence — via LiveJournal — posted by Genevieve at 11.07.2005 13:50 AEST | #
Thanks!

I'm sure you'd get used to the smell, I just don't think Rose needs to know that — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:51 AEST | #
Was this a nod to the end of Visitation in which the Doctor's actions lead to the Great Fire? — via LiveJournal — posted by Samantha Wilkinson at 11.07.2005 13:52 AEST | #
Not intentionally. More that I was watching a doco on the Great Fire of London a while back — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:52 AEST | #

WORD. Crowded busses in summer are bad enough. It boggles the mind to imagine the stink of an entire city, especially in the middle of a plague outbreak, with a raging fire on top of that. ::pinches nose shut:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 11.07.2005 13:54 AEST | #
A bit like travelling to Bangkok, really — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:55 AEST | #
And now the doctor must be infected and is seperated from the Tardis and whumping ensues, in a nice long whumpy fic. Yes? I'm prepared to grovel. Honestly.

challenge: bloody, brutal, deathly, agonising, groteque suffering.

moooooooooooWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

::cough::

don't mind me. i'm off to find some whumping before i implode — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 11.07.2005 13:55 AEST | #
Could probably go the Doctor with Wolf, don't know if I can do whumping with Rose. It can be tough enough with Wolf, she tends to kill things prior to the whumping — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:56 AEST | #
didn't completely understand that, but heck, yes, whatever. pair him with a cabbage, i don't care. as long as he gets whumped and comforted. >:P — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 11.07.2005 13:57 AEST | #
Though that general time period is interesting, he could've chosen slightly better times to show her. :) — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 11.07.2005 13:58 AEST | #
Which reminds me. I've been seeing over here a digital camera ad featuring this dude who looks disturbingly like your DW actor — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 11.07.2005 13:58 AEST | #
Got an example? Print? Telly? Make and model of camera? Am curious now.

His name is Christopher Eccleston — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 13:59 AEST | #
It's an HP one, I think. When their ads come on, I'm usually more interested in the cool effects used than the make, but I think that's right. Only trouble is, I don't think the new series airs over here, so it wouldn't make sense for him to be appearing in an American commercial — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 11.07.2005 13:59 AEST | #
History isn't all beer and skittles — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 14:00 AEST | #
It'd be nowhere near as interesting if it was — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 11.07.2005 14:00 AEST | #
I'd never thought about it... but as a firefighter, I suppose that's one of the historical events that would be on my list of places to visit. From a distance — via fanfiction.net — posted by Mark at 11.07.2005 16:06 AEST | #
