DALEKS CAN SING TOO

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

I ADMIT THAT IN THE PAST I'VE BEEN A NASTY
THEY WEREN'T KIDDING WHEN THEY CALLED ME
WELL, A WITCH!

BUT YOU'LL FIND THAT NOWADAYS
I'VE MENDED ALL MY WAYS
REPENTED, SEEN THE LIGHT
AND MADE A SWITCH

AND I FORTUNATELY KNOW A LITTLE MAGIC
IT'S A TALENT THAT I ALWAYS HAVE POSSESSED
AND HERE LATELY, PLEASE DON'T LAUGH
I USE IT ON BEHALF
OF THE MISERABLE, LONELY, AND DEPRESSED-- PATHETIC!

POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS, IN PAIN, IN NEED
THIS ONE LONGING TO BE THINNER
THAT WANT WANTS TO GET THE GIRL
AND DO I HELP THEM?
YES, INDEED!

THOSE POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS
SO SAD, SO TRUE
THEY COME FLOCKING TO MY CAULDRON
CRYING SPELLS, URSULA, PLEASE!
AND I HELP THEM, YES I DO

NOW IT'S HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE
SOMEONE COULDN'T PAY THE PRICE
AND I'M AFRAID I HAD TO RAKE 'EM
'CROSS THE COALS

YES, I'VE HAD THE ODD COMPLAINT
BUT ON THE WHOLE I'VE BEEN A SAINT
TO THOSE POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS

EXTERMINATE!

... Hm.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

GOT A PROBLEM, GIRLY?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

At least it's less disgustingly cheery than some of the other "songs" I've seen around here lately.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

EXCESSIVE CHEERFULNESS IS DISGUSTING, ISN'T IT? IT GIVES ME WRINKLES.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It certainly gets irritating very quickly.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

IT CERTAINLY DOES.

YOU'RE AN ODDLY PRACTICAL GIRL. NOT AS FLUTTERY AS SOME I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY, HMM?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm practical. If I wasn't, I'd hardly be where I am today. Flutteriness doesn't win wars.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

HMM, ALL THE PRINCESSES I KNOW HAVE THEIR HEADS IN THE CLOUDS. PA-THE-TIC.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then they aren't very good leaders. Just figureheads, I'd assume.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

THEY REALLY AREN'T LEADERS. THE TRUE KING OF THE SEA IS TRITON.

FOR NOW.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Right. Well, I don't claim to know much at all about your world.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT, DEAR. YOU'RE HUMAN, HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT GOES ON UNDER THE OCEAN?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

True.

[travel-eng.livejournal.com]

Oh my!

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING OKAY, DEARIE?

[travel-eng.livejournal.com]

Can you really do magic~?

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE! THEY DON'T CALL ME A WITCH FOR NOTHING, DEARIE.

DO YOU HAVE NEED OF MY HELP, PERHAPS~?

[pandorabox]

A witch, eh? Y'know, I've been trying to gather a bunch of magical creatures together for drinks once I get out of my lamp! You should join us!

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

A DRINK, EH? I'D GO FOR THAT, SO LONG AS IT COMES WITH SOME NICE SEA WATER TO REST MY TENTACLES IN...

HAS SOME NASTY PERSON STUCK YOU IN A LAMP, HMM?

[pandorabox]

I'm sure we could magic something up for you!

I was kind of born this way, actually. Eternal slavery to a lamp. It's the life of a genie, you know?

Phenomenal cosmic power!

Itty bitty living space...

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL...

[pandorabox]

Yeeeeah, I've learned to deal, you know? I'm just waiting for a new master to come along and hopefully wish me free!

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

PERHAPS I COULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP YOU... YOU SAY YOU'RE INSIDE A LAMP, DEARIE? I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WISH YOU FREE IF I COULD ONLY FIND YOU.

[pandorabox]

Really?! That would be wonderful! Not to mention it'd be a welcome change of scenery!

Cave of Wonders. Ever heard of it?

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T SAY I HAVE, DEAR. IS IT UNDER WATER, BY ANY CHANCE?

[pandorabox]

In the middle of the desert, actually.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

ER...HM. THAT MAY TAKE SOME THOUGHT.

[pandorabox]

... well, far as I'm concerned I'll be here for a while... no one seems interested and trying to get to me.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

YOU POOR THING. I'LL GET YOU OUT, I PROMISE. JUST SIT TIGHT, DEARIE. URSULA'S ON THE WAY.

[pandorabox]

Oh sweet! Thanks, lady!

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

...

((That would be Sam laughing too hard to make a proper comment))

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

WHAT'S WRONG, SUGAR? CATFISH GOT YOUR TONGUE?

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

Not exactly... no. Um. It's, uh, might I ask your name?

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

IT'S URSULA, DEARIE.

AND YOURS?

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

Ursula. I see.

Um. DI Sam Tyler.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

AND HUMAN I SEE, BUT HUNKY ENOUGH FOR URSULA, DEAR.

YOU SURE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU? MAYBE WE CAN MAKE A DEAL~

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

I'm being hit on by a Dalek. What. The. Fuck.

So what are you, then, if not a human?

Pretty sure, yeah. I've gone past the point where I'd make deals for anything; I'm happy where I am, thanks.

((Strike typed and then deleted))

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

HOW FORTUNATE FOR YOU. I DO TRY TO HELP THE MERFOLK THAT CROSS MY PATH, AS MUCH AS I CAN. SO MANY OF THEM ARE IN PAIN.

I'M A MERMAID, OF COURSE, THOUGH A SPECIAL TYPE. SEE MY TENTACLES? HUMANS ARE SO IGNORANT

((strike murmured, subvocal and possibly you could overhear her him it))

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

... How kind of you. Though sometimes what helps people most is to figure out how to help themselves.

A mermaid. Of course. Well, you'll understand if I don't exactly have a lot of contact with mermaids in my day to day life. I doubt they exist in my world.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

WELL OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T HAD CONTACT WITH MERMAIDS, DEARIE. I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO, HAVE.

PEOPLE CAN'T ALWAYS HELP THEMSELVES, AND NEED A MIRACLE. THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

There's no such thing as a man-made miracle. Or a... merfolk-made miracle. That's just something you can't see every side of so it looks miraculous.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

OOOOH, WE'VE GOT A SMART ONE!

WELL YOU'RE RIGHT, DARLING. I'M NOT A GODDESS YET, JUST A LOWLY WITCH, BUT I TRY TO USE MY MAGIC TO HELP PEOPLE, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES.

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

Well, I should hope so. Wouldn't have made DCI if I didn't have some kind of a brain in my head.

True enough, I suppose, but there's gotta be some kind of catch. That looks like the easy way out, doing something by magic that you couldn't manage otherwise; it can't be free, or as good as it looks.

[dramadramadalek.livejournal.com]

WELL OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T BE GIVING AWAY MIRACLES FOR FREE OR I'D BE DROWNED IN REQUESTS! BUT I ONLY ASK FOR SOME SMALL PAYMENT IN RETURN, NOTHING TOO ONEROUS.

MY MAGIC - LIKE ME - IS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS, HONEY. TRUST ME...

((Oh yeah, that's a Dalek shaking its booty at you XDDDD))

[out-of-my-time.livejournal.com]

Obviously.

Oh, I'm... sure it is.

((And that would be Sam going o_O))
