The Bookworm Strikes Again (open)

Who: Barbara and Anyone
Where: The Media Library and possible roaming
Summary: Research, tea, discussion and all that jazz. Feel free to simply come and bug her.
Warnings: None

After watching the Daligig slaughter the previous crew twice, Barbara went in search of any kind of material on the Daligig, Stacey, pod-popping and the crews which had traveled on Stacey. She didn't expect to find much more than what GLaDOS had told her but it was worth a look. Especially with all this talk of rebellion and distrust.

So, in a corner of the Media Library Barbara sat with piles books, stacks of visual recordings and audio recordings, plus pot of tea which had been sitting empty for a while. She was lost in her own world, memorising what she could and trying to gain a better picture of the ship, the war and everything else which could be considered relevant.

The Doctor peered at Barbara over the scroll.

"I don't expect you'd be able to. Not easily, at least. Not with a ship that bends time and space plus jumps across dimensions." The Doctor pointed out. To be fair, he suspected even the Time Lords would find it challenging and it was probably a good thing they hadn't ever, as far as he knew, encountered the Daligig or the Ohm before.

Still, he was pleased to see Barbara being, well, herself on this.

Hence Barbara doing the exact opposite and trying to know everything she can. The Doctor couldn’t be more proud of her.

“Just a bit of a snoop. You know you have to keep in practice with things like that, especially snoops.” The Doctor puts down the scroll. Barbara looks right at home in a pile of research materials, doing her best to adjust to being on a living ship. She’s doing loads better than most humans would. “Probably easier to point people in the right direction.” The Doctor switches back without pausing. “Keeping them in the dark. Explanations take time.”

Not that he agrees with the Daligig’s methods.

If anything, he went through several stages of getting worse at it. Barbara also had the luck to miss out on his rainbow years or trying not to trip over his scarf – that said, she also missed the cravat, which was unfortunate when you thought about it. He’d looked rather handsome!

The Doctor laced his fingers together in front of him. "Snooping? I think you've had plenty of practice, Barbara." And yes, he did sound proud. "Try talking to the Daligig's guards. The big fellas, can't miss 'em."

The Doctor waved away the threat of a reprimand. If you stopped every time someone reprimanded you or gave you a stern look or even tried to shoot you, well! You'd probably be living a safe, if incredibly boring life, which come to think of it wasn't exactly such a bad thing to most of the universe out there if they had to say anything about it.

His eyes went from Barbara's hand around his to her face. Oh, that was tempting. Very tempting. So tempting he couldn't resist.

"Okay, so! You and me and a little investigation while we're at it. I'd like that." He smiled, reaching out to pat her hand.
