Who: The Eleventh Doctor and everyone!
What: TARDIS POOL PARTY!
Where: The TARDIS
When: September 7th through the end of the event
Warnings: None so far~

Eleven could never resist an opportunity to show off his beautiful and constant companion, and everyone was so stressed out by the heat, this was the perfect solution. Instead of out of the way, like he'd usually park her, the TARDIS is slap bang in the middle of the apartment courtyard, doors thrown wide open and a couple arrow signs - written in crayon, of all things, and with far too many exclamation points - giving directions to the pool.

"HQ is sweltering. Since we're technically in a warehouse we're pretty low on the priority list. Natasha flatly refuses to go within several hundred yards of the place."

Sheska crinkled her nose sympathetically. "Ohh, I'm sorry... Even with all the windows open I don't think there's enough breeze to help, and I know all the electric generators have been bought up already - I checked. Is everyone working from home for the moment?"

[tookthename]

"We don't want to take the generators away from people who might really need them." Carol moved so her back was against the side of the pool.

"They're working from where ever. We didn't even have a base for the longest time so it's not much of a set back."

[librariansheart]

Privately, Sheska believed that if the Avengers were fighting so hard to keep the city safe, a private resident or store could sacrifice a generator for a day. But if people aren't offering them up, then that's that. And Ms. Danvers does have a point. It isn't a great hardship for them to work from other locations.

"Well, I'm glad that you aren't forcing yourselves to bake. It must be an oven that building! At home it didn't usually reach quite this temperature. In the east, toward the desert area, certainly, but Central City was much more even, climate-wise. Is it much different where you're from?"

[tookthename]

"Where I grew up was more inclined to colder weather, but we had some hot days every year. Some of the bases I stayed at while I was in the Air Force were pretty warm though."

[librariansheart]

"The Air Force?" Sheska blinks, puzzled. They didn't have anything called that at home... Though something was tickling at the back of her mind. Something... something from when they were students for a week, maybe. What was it? "Is that... Is that another group of heroes?"

[tookthename]

"Kind of. They're a branch of our military. I joined as soon as I turned 18 and became a pilot."

[librariansheart]

"You really did!" Sheska looks delighted, unconsciously leaning forward a little. "You wanted to do that in school, didn't you? Is that where you learned to fly?"

[tookthename]

Carol nods "Yeah, my dad was refusing to pay for college because he only had money for one kid and thought it was more important that my brother go.So I enlisted to pay for school and ended up loving way more than I thought."

She smiles "You remember from that time we were all in high school, right?"

[librariansheart]

Just a teeny bit of hero worship shows in Sheska's face as she makes an ambiguous hand motion. "I remember a little, but I never wrote it down, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. That's wonderful, though! You really have done everything independently, haven't you?"
