OOC: just wanted to say I know people have reblogged and I am very excited to continue the various RP strands but am currently swamped and am not letting myself do the fun thing of RP until I've actually gotten work done so, sorry if I'm leaving people hanging, I promise I will get back to y'all as soon as I can!!!!

‘With Love and Rage,' is now freely available up on The Cheshire House! I wrote this last month following the devastating supreme court ruling and resultant, disgusting EHRC guidance, and it is very much about being trans and under threat, having to hide yourself in a place that pretends to be safe. I poured a lot of love (and a lot of rage) into this story - I hope that it resonates with other people, and that you'll look forward to part two. There is hope as long as we keep fighting.

With love and rage,

After the trio’s emotional ordeal trapped in a rapidly disappearing market, they hope to enjoy a relaxing vacation on an intriguing post-human colony. However, the supposed techno-magical paradise of Atlantis is not what they expected, and they soon find themselves swept into a world of deception and fear. The crew are being Watched, in more ways than one…

Are you... Are you okay?

@that-cia-agent Nardeth I found your blog. You always cause problems at work. I’m not bringing you or Mrellin biscuits tomorrow. Zerlan, you just work here, so you can have their biscuits instead.

Nardeth: so, what's it like being a mercenary?

Captain: Quiet!

*they all wait for a few minutes before the other three return, each presenting a stick. Leith's is a literal tree trunk, whilst Caln's is barely more than a twig, but Morry's is about the right height for a staff. Nardeth takes it, and Leith raises her weapon, training it on Nardeth.*

Captain: Right. Let's go.

@that-cia-agent

Morry: a what?

Caln: We can’t let you have any alien technology.

[that-cia-agent]

... That might be for the best. Even if I do miss it sometimes... Definitely for you, yes, aliens shouldn't be going anywhere near Gallifrey.

I open this app and see 15 posts from timelords. @that-cia-agent are all of you assholes? No hate, just a question (or so I’m told to say).

Why would I ever trust anything one of you say?

Nardeth: you took all our stuff, remember? Just, grab me a stick that you think could take my weight, if you won't let me get one myself.

@that-cia-agent

Morry: a what?

Caln: We can’t let you have any alien technology.

I am dreading RTD doing some form of ridiculous retcon with Susan. If he does, then chances are I'll do the same thing as when Marc Platt revealed that she was the granddaughter of the Other and when Eric Saward revealed that she was a descendant of Rassilon. Which is to say, ignore- wait a second, did Rassilon and the Other fuck or

[that-cia-agent]

Well, the Watch isn't much different... They didn't let me go easily, either. It cost... Too much.

Nardeth: it's just a mobility aid! A stick, to walk with... Too light to hit someone with, or else it would get too heavy to carry. I can't move much further without one. Not if we're talking miles.

@that-cia-agent

Morry: a what?

Caln: We can’t let you have any alien technology.

[that-cia-agent]

I- I'm not with them anymore! But, ultimately... Look, I know it's.... Unsavoury... But if the correct timeline isn't maintained, then, the universe collapses into chaos. It's for the greater good... Yeah, it is, it has to be...

[that-cia-agent]

Nardeth: Hmph. Those hacks... We're cooler, okay? Way cooler!

Mrellin: no point in having company pride in a company you've abandoned. Well, not a company, but, close enough. They did put profit before our lives, even if that profit wasn't money.

Nardeth: Oh yeah? How's that job search going?

*silence*

Nardeth: Anyway, the CIA, the Watch, whatever we're calling it now, we - they have survived longer, weathered the storm, and have so much more power than that stupid little group or Four.

Hmph. The Doctor... Yeah, I've heard. Still, maintaining the timeline is a way of life for our species... You can agree with it or not, but, it is what we are, what we were made to do.

Uh, no one, I guess. Just me and my friends, drifting through space and time, trying to hide from people like you...

Nardeth: Zero isn't a robot or anything similar - the leg is an add-on, a mobility aid that allows them to walk. A little like my cane.

@that-cia-agent

Morry: a what?

Caln: We can’t let you have any alien technology.

[that-cia-agent]

*confused* I'm not at work anymore? I left - oh, has there been some timeline confusion? When are you writing from?

[that-cia-agent]

Actually, that is why I left. I tried to unionise... It didn't go well. It all worked out in the end, though... Sort of...

It's not like the CIA you're familiar with. The Celestial Intervention Agency deals with threats to the True Timeline, as decreed by Gallifrey's High President.
