[Lyle's just standing at a point somewhere near, but not too near, to where the Doctor and Oliver's shelter is. He's gazing up at the sky - or the black hole in the sky, rather - and just looking really... tired.

Dully:] You really wouldn't have thought that something so deadly would look so weirdly... beautiful.

Kind of like a burning house-kamo.

It's hard to look away, isn't it?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Just a little.

[He offers her a small smile.] I haven't seen you around before.

[distantspring.livejournal.com]

Probably because I'm new here-kamo.

I'm called Haruka!

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Haruka. I'm Lyle.

It is strangely beautiful. A pity, really, that it shall probably be the death of us all.

Again.

[bladedskies.livejournal.com]

...So, that thing's deadly, huh?

It figures.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Again? You mean that this has happened before?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

It's a black hole, it's probably one of the most deadly things known to mankind.

[bladedskies.livejournal.com]

[...Looks up at it. Gawwwwks.] This on top of everything else...jeez.

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

It's odd, because I've only just remembered, but the ship - the Crucible I mean - was pulled into a black hole. Everyone died but then we were all alive again and it was as though nothing had ever happened.

[have a loli hug]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Blinks and looks down, because he wasn't quite expecting that.]

Where did you spring from?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

I wonder what the odds are of being lucky twice.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

That pretty much sums it up. [And he could really use a smoke right now.]

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

...Went to fine Ollie...

[raises her arms to get him to pick her up]

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

If people are still surviving falling into those holes, perhaps we shall all be fine.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Oh shit, he really hopes she didn't see --]

Yeah? [Picks her up. And... he really doesn't want to ask this, but he needs to know if she saw what happened...] ... Did you find him?

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

Either way, if this is the end, the view is quite nice.

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

[wraps her arms around his neck]

Y-yes.

[bladedskies.livejournal.com]

This sure was an awesome thing to arrive to. First the paranoia, then stuff disappearing, and now this. [...And by "awesome" she means "terrible," of course.]

[distantspring.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Lyle-san!

Though it'd have been better to meet under different circumstances-kamo.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Looks up at the sky again] It could definitely be worse.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You could say that again.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say it gets better, but taking a look at the view, I don't think that's gonna happen.
