-- Oxford Circus. Join me.

[He starts without explanation, because the person he's addressing knows exactly who she is, and then laughs.]

Have you ever played with pigeons? Slower, messier. Rats are quicker and cleverer but have the disadvantage of short legs and no wings. Although I imagine they'd make things more interesting regardless. Rats generally do.

Would never have let that happen. That's why pigeons are second choice. You're welcome, by the way. Again. It was a lovely few days. Practically a holiday. Even though I nearly got injured.

[private: dean]

You deserved that, retroactively.

[private: castiel]

[pleasantly:] In the future, find an alternate solution.

( ooc; mornington crescent. and though he's inviting iris in specifically, he left it open so that a) people familiar could try to beat him and b) people unfamiliar could ask about it. fair warning: he knows a lot more stations than you do. )

[Then neither of them know what the other is talking about. PERFECT.]

Prince Regent.

Overdiamond of San-Ska-Re.

[Dylan's still wondering if there's more to this game that he's missing or if it really is just throwing semi-random phrases at each other.]

Mm, no, can't use that one. Not without explaining why you chose it.

[This is not a rule, but he has just made it a rule.]

[As far as Dylan is concerned, it might be a rule.]

That's the title of the leader of the Than and their planet is San-Ska-Re. After you said Prince Regent, I thought we were doing titles.

[Good, Dylan, good.]

That's acceptable, then. And Overdiamond's a very honest title.

Playing for association, then: All Saints.

It's nice and descriptive, too. The Than leader has a diamond carapace.

The Spirit of the Abyss.

How useful he must be. Hard to kill.

Gospel Oak.

The carapace actually just diamond colored. So not so useful as armor. Beautiful, though.

Hmmm, that's a tough one. [He thinks about it for a few seconds.]

Meditation Tree.

He should invest in some armor, in that case. Functionality is very important.

Marble Arch. [This is actually relevant even though it probably doesn't sound relevant.]

[Dylan doesn't understand it's relevance, but it triggers an association easily enough. Not an arch, but a portal. Both liminal.]

Route of Ages.

Mile End.

Slipstream Jump Point.

[Interesting.] How to you know Iris?

London Bridge.

[Dylan is surprised by the question.]

I don't. Not very well. We've spoken to each other a few times, but that's it.

Vishna-Tarn Tower.

I see. She makes friends quickly. Tower Hill.

She does indeed. She reminds me a bit of some friends of mine back home.

Brandenburg Tor.

What sort of friends are those?

Ruislip.

The kind of friends that don't much like rules and get really irritated if you suggest they follow them, but once you earn their loyalty you can trust them with your life.

Ruislip? [His eyebrows go up. He's not even sure what language that is.]

Uh...Xinti. [He names one of the planets belonging to the Perseid race.]

[And he's finally curious enough that he drops the game and asks an explicit question.]

What is that?

It's one of the major Perseid settlements. It's not a very populous planet, just a couple million people, but during the Commonwealth it was seen as one of the great intellectual centers. The Perseids are some of the best scientists in the three galaxies.
