by Red WolfThe man trying to chat Rose up wasn't getting the message that she'd rather be elsewhere.
Jack held her hand up to show the stranger their matching bracelets were displayed a synchronous cycle of lights. "Sorry, pal, she's taken."
Rose watched him shrug and walk away. "What was that about?"
"This is a matrimonial band."
"We're married?"
Jack grinned broadly. "Not exactly. They have a triune marriage based on people whose compatibility is indicated by these bracelets."
"They're fakes?"
Jack nodded at the Doctor, who waved back allowing Rose to see his own bracelet pulsed to match their own.
"Oh."

This is great :-) I've often thought what a terrific idea that would be — a handy piece of technology that tells you who you're compatible with :-) It'd make a fortune! — via LiveJournal

They aren't fakes, you may now be cheerful — via LiveJournal

hmm....
I hate to say this but I think this deserves something longer. (I always hate it when people ask for longer versions of my drabbles/ficlets).
oh well, I guess I'll have to let my imagination run wild.
I really wouldn't mind more drabbles. I can never manage to capture them in so few words. really, a great piece :) — via LiveJournal — posted by Cate at 13.08.2005 22:38 AEST |

Usually you would get politely told where to go, but in this case you're dead on. It is one of the few I've written where I wanted it longer too.
It was tough to get the story compressed to a hundred words and keep it in tact, so I may do a longer version at some point.
Stupid muse. Either it's off sunning itself somewhere without me or it's trying to cram a longer story into a drabble and bitching because I left out a bit about a daquiri or feather boa. Still, at least it's making itself known — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 13.08.2005 22:39 AEST |

he. I know the feeling.

Yay! I hope that some point isn't too far into the future. cookies? they're still warm ::smile:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Cate at 13.08.2005 22:39 AEST |

Well, as I've now said I'd lengthen the drabble, this grants you permission to prod me at regular intervals to ask where the hell it is. Feel free to take advantage of this — via LiveJournal

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Poking received. I blame a brush with tequila for my laxness. Señor Cuervo is not my friend.

When I get my muse back after watching the episodes (::crosses fingers::), I'm totally going to write these three into a threesome. Just so you know.

You'd better warn the postie that he should start wearing padding for when you crash-tackle him and rummage through the post. Well, if you're channelling Pheral or me at the time.

Heh, I'm sure there are worse things than the bracelets being genuine. :) — via LiveJournal

Threesomes = good. :-D
Also, that's just kind of a cool idea, with the matching bracelets, etc. I wonder how on earth it developed? — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 13.08.2005 22:56 AEST |

Sorry for the sluggishness. Stupid LJ not sending replies.
My idea comes from me fiddling with my new geek bracelets and a wacky Japanese compatibility profile dating gadget. I was thinking of the truine marriages from Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos and as that was a small community, I figured something more obvious would be needed for larger populations. So, why not go techie and garish — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 13.08.2005 22:56 AEST |

and they realise they can't get the bracelets off and they hack the doctors hand off to get his off, because... because... i say so, and then he bleeds lots and yum.
