in Milliways

[searchingfordistraction]

Rich Brook enjoys filming for The Storyteller. He honestly does. It may not be the role of a lifetime, but he could do worse than to spend the day reading fairy tales to kids.

He's always liked fairy tales.

Still, when Milliways pops up during a break in filming, he doesn't turn it down. He glances back over his shoulder first; then, when no one else seems to see anything amiss, he goes in.

At the Bar, he asks for a club soda with lime. He could have something stronger if he liked - with time stopped at home, no one would be the wiser - but it seems wrong for the Storyteller to drink while he's technically on duty.



[OOC: For clarity, Jim is in character as Rich, and will be making a much stronger effort to remain in character than he usually does in Milliways. And yes, he really is coming in from filming. DVDs don't make themselves.]

"None taken. I know exactly what you mean."

[searchingfordistraction]

"Oh," he says, a bit blankly. "Good."

[sicaria]

"He is not a safe person to know. He is not a safe person at all, in fact, whether or not you know him."

[searchingfordistraction]

"Yeah."

This conversation is not really helping to keep him in a storytelling frame of mind.

It's not helping his remember to keep his hand out of his hair, either.

"Sorry," she says again, wryly.

[searchingfordistraction]

"No, it's fine."

Ish.

[sicaria]

"That is not a statement in accord with the facts."

[searchingfordistraction]

"Well," he says, trying to shake off the discomfort.

"I'm an actor. I make my own facts."

It's not a great joke, but it is a joke.

"So I see," she affirms, grinning.
