Feet hitting the ground faster than she ever thought she could carry herself, curls billowing around her as she skidded round the corner of the old temple. She couldn’t quite grasp what had happened, one minute she was making a deal with the emperor of Peladon the next she was being chased by his royal guards for attempting an assassination - of course it was true, every word of it, but she was rather hoping that she wouldn’t have to run... for a change...     Leaping over a few rocks she decided that her predicament rather needed to be changed, she had gotten what she came for, the artifact of the kings, that was currently rolling around in her bag as she sprinted for cover in one of the caves ahead. Taking a moment to knock her hair out of her face, she raised her wrist and hit her vortex manipulator, allowing it to swallow her up and make her escape.     The next moment she landed in a heap on top of a lady, arms hitting the floor, bag ripping and unknown to her, the artifact of the kings falling out and down a hole.     Standing and brushing the hair from her features she grinned.   “Sorry about that - you know how it is, you see a pretty girl you have to fall on top of her.” she chuckled.

“I thought this was a costume party?”

@thedoctorxiii gets a v curious rory !!

          “Oy!” Honestly, that was just about enough! Rose had been dealing with the strange woman staring at her for at least half an hour, and at first, it had been sort of flattering. Having another woman looking at her like that suggested she’d done a good job of getting dressed that morning, or that her hair looked particularly nice or something -- but enough was enough! “Lady, I dunno what you’re lookin’ at, but find someone else, would you?” After years, Rose was finally back in the dimension where she belonged, and she just wanted to enjoy her chips in piece. Was that too much to ask, after the mess that she’d finally managed to escape?
