"Oh, we used to work together," she said simply. She didn't want to be talking about the Master, she wanted to talk about Paul. If she could find
out more about him then she'd be able to do this without having to resort to Chula powers. There was more of a challenge doing it that way. "Tell me
about yourself, Paul. where are you from?"
Tain then ordered some champagne for them while browsing the menu. She'd never had sushi before, she didn't really understand what any of it meant.
Surely all raw fish tasted the same. She'd let one of them order for her, she didn't care what she ate, she wasn't fussy.
"Sorry," said Will kissing John back. He then left. It was still quite early, maybe the party would continue without him. He was fairly drunk. He'd
drank a lot more than he normally would on a night like this. He needed to be fresh and awake for the following day but he probably wouldn't be.
Frankie nodded at the Doctor not so sure about what he was saying. "This isn't exactly ideal for me." She said leaning against the bar and looking
at him. "We've got a month to make friends, talk to people. They aren't all just going to give you answers just because you asked."
The barman walked over to them, "drinks?" He looked them over for a moment, "so, are you two new in town to conduct some paranormal research?" He
grinned slyly.
Frankie laughed, " I'll have an orange juice please. And no, ignore him," she gestured to the Doctor, "he likes to make an entrance. Like anyone
round here would've seen anything weird. This looks like quite a boring little neighbourhood. It's why we chose it. Quiet."
The barman frowned and began to sort out her drink. "It's not that quiet, loads of weird, exciting stuff goes on."
Frankie furrowed her brow at him, "like what?" She feigned disbelief to get it out of him.
"Well, there's a rumour going round that a lot of the buildings in this area are going to be taken over to provide a home for workers over at that
new complex across the river."
"Oh great, so we've moved somewhere just to get kicked out." Frankie said looking at the Doctor and scowling. "What complex, what do they do?"
"Some sort of new technology, very secret, secret. It's all been a bit weird. All over the news, people have died in a fire there, rebuilt in record
time. So, our little neighbourhood isn't all that boring." He grinned widely and looked at the Doctor. "What can I get for you sir?" He placed
Frankie's drink down in front of her.
