by Red WolfThe Doctor had been right about the annual mass migration of Callibemmian crayfish being an amazing sight, but the planet wasn't terribly human friendly.
Between their rebreather masks, the atmosphere's poor sound conducting properties and the Doctor long ago cannibalising the rebreathers' bone conduction units for parts, they'd been rendered effectively deaf.
Rose had learned that, in the absence of external stimuli, her heartbeat and breathing sounded abnormally loud. She also discovered that if she had to watch Jack and the Doctor show off in improvised sign language one more time, she'd kill them both and use the mime defence.

LOL! Somehow I think that Jack would be really annoying signing — wouldn't want to play charades against him at Christmas either! ;) — via LiveJournal

I don't know if you can do innuendo in improvised sign language, it may cramp his style — via LiveJournal

Oh I'm pretty sure he could. Easy as falling off a log! ;) — via LiveJournal — posted by Grandmum at 16.09.2007 17:01 AEST |
Victim to the lj cookie monster
Can't access any of my community sites and read this courtesy of my friends page but then couldn't post a comment — sigh.

The cookie thing is getting annoying, but considering we're suffering it thanks to a bunch of retarded script kiddies attacking LJ, perhaps it's the lesser of two evils.

Wonderful! Beautiful images and lovely quirky touches. The Doctor cannibalising bits from the masks (and great to see a planet with a different atmosphere), Jack & Doctor improvising sign language...
ROTFWL!
Pure Genius!!!!
Yes, Mime is truly the Fourth Unforgiveable isn't it! (And I can say that as I've done mime)

Many thanks!
I suspect if clown makeup was involved as well, the boys wouldn't be getting a second chance — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 16.09.2007 17:04 AEST |

the mime defence
There is no way to convey how funny that is. Has she met Vetinari? ;)
Great idea and brilliant execution — via LiveJournal — posted by infiniteviking at 16.09.2007 17:05 AEST |

Why do I get the feeling Jack's sign language was somewhat on the smutty side? — via LiveJournal

Are any of Jack's communication skills not on the smutty side? — via LiveJournal

I don't know, but the clown-like makeup isn't helping their cause. Maybe it's an uncanny valley thing — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 16.09.2007 17:09 AEST |

You've got to watch those crayfish, they are tricky little beasts. With nippers. Never a good combination — via LiveJournal

I was doing okay until you referenced mimes. Now I'm turning on all the lights and looking behind the curtains... — via LiveJournal
