(O.O Hope I'm not interupting . . . you guys can ignore Ivy and the Doctor XD)
Ivy walked through the town center, her walking stick tapping on the ground in front of her. Not that she needed it to get around; she knew this place like the back of her hand. But she didn't want to trample over someone.
She smiled when she heard the cane click against her favorite bench, and she carefully sat down on it, pulling out a book - in braille, of course - and drawing her fingers over the pages, starting to read.

((Yess ignore us. XD Also sorry if I'm a tad bit slow, I'm filling out job applications and they're all asking really complex math questions for some reason. o___o;;; ))
The Doctor strolled through the town center, hands in his pockets and his eyes facing skyward. His mind deep in thought, only aware enough of the people around him to avoid crashing into them. It seemed however he was not aware enough to keep from crashing into inanimate objects. He toppled into and over a bench, shaking the thing rather violently as he scrambled to get up. "Bloody hell.. Where did this thing come from?" He mumbled as he tried to topple off of it, his eyes focused on a girl who had been occupying the bench and he panicked for a second, wondering if he'd injured her. "Are you alright? You didn't get hit by a flailing limb did you?" He asked, half of his body still hanging over one side of the bench.

Alex: *smiles and laughs lightly, enjoying the swaying motion before she looked up at him* I can try, I sing pretty well in the shower. *laughs a bit and smiles, closing her eyes before starting to sing* I'm under your skies, I'm caught in your eyes, don't you know you stop the room, and all that I can see is you, I'm standing where the lighting strikes, I know this doesn't happen twice, you must be my once in a lifetime, in a lifetime. You must be my once in a lifetime.
(HEY SOPHIE!! HEY SPREE!!)

(^^ It's okay! O.O Why would they be asking math questions? Hey Olive! ) Ivy started in surprise when she felt the bench jerk, her book falling down as she reached out to steady herself, sitting still for a moment after the bench had stopped moving, calming herself. She blinked when she heard the sound of a young man talking to her, and she relaxed a bit, a small smile creeping onto her face. "I'm fine, I was just a bit startled, that's all," she chuckled, reaching out to try and find her cane, her hands managing to find it on the ground. After a bit more feeling around on the floor she managed to find her book, and she picked it up, shaking it to rid it of any dirt it may have acquired. "Honestly, the worst you did was make me lose my place," she said with a grin, sitting back down on the bench.

((HI OLIVE! I don't know. ; It's for a server job but these are some really complicated questions. Now they're asking grammar questions..)) The Doctor let out a breath of relief upon hearing she was alright. He managed to detangle himself the rest of the way and dusted himself off, straightening his bow tie. "Good, good. Sorry about that!" He said, fiddling with his fingers as he looked at her. His eyes fell on her cane before moving to the book as everything clicked together. "Are you blind?" He asked after a moment.

(O.O That is really weird)
Ivy's mouth quirked into a smile again, and she chuckled, nodding her head. "Yes, I am, did the cane or the book you couldn't read give it away?"

((I know. I finally finished it but geeshhh that's the longest application I've ever filled out. o_e )) "A little of each." The Doctor said, a wide grin spreading across his face. "What's it like then? Being blind I mean? I've never met a blind one before." He quickly sat down beside her, studying her wide, excited eyes.

(O.O That is ridiculous)
Ivy arched an eyebrow. Huh. Not usually the reaction she got from people. Mainly hurried apologies and awkward conversation.
"I don't really know how I'd describe it . . . seeing as I've been blind my whole life," she said with a shrug.
"It's . . . . I don't know . . . I hear things and can feel things . . . and I just use those senses to color my perception of things . . . I don't know what it's like to see something . . . I don't even really understand the concept of color . . . I've just always known what my ears and hands tell me,"

((Yeah that was much too much work. ;; I'm sufficiently exhausted.)) The Doctor listened intently absorbing every word as she described it. "Fascinating." He breathed, "The human senses are amazing, the way they just make up for the lack of another." He leaned back on the bench, his eyes never leaving her. "What happens when you dream then? Is it the same?" He was unaware that these questions were anything unusual to ask, certain she'd been asked these same things thousands of times before.

(DX *huggles* No more work for you today!)
Ivy smiled a bit. "They really are," she said, blinking in surprise at is next question. That was another first.
"It is . . . though . . . sometimes I dream of what it would be like to see," she chuckled a bit, looking down. "I never quite understand the things I'm . . . "seeing" though,"

((Please and thank you ;__; ))
The Doctor tilted his head curiously at her explanation. "Well, that, is very fascinating indeed." He said, leaning forward. "And born that way, too. I can't even imagine what that must be like. Is there some sort of society for blind people? Like.. blind people anonymous?"

(DX *huggles more*)
Ivy blinked and then laughed in surprise. "Not exactly. I mean, there are support groups for people who've lost their sight in an accident or due to cancer, but not normally. Not unless you go to a clinic or something for help," she said with a smile.
(Gotta go now DX Choir concert. Be on later!)

((*huggles super tightly*)) "Oh, well that's a tad disappointing. I was hoping there was some sort of club, how fun would that be?" The Doctor said, chuckling a little. "What are you reading then?" ((Okay have fun!~ ))

(*huggles just as tightly* ^^)
Ivy chuckled a bit. "I suppose. It certainly would be interesting," she smiled a bit as her fingers traced the cover of the book. "It's called the Book of Lost Things. It's about a little boy who gets sucked into a sort of fairytale land, but where all the fairytales are wrong and twisted in some way." she shook her head, a small smile on her lips. "Quite frankly it's a bit disturbing at times, but . . . I still like it. It's really just about a boy dealing with his mother's death and growing up . . . he just happens to be dealing with that while traversing through a fairytale land,"

You must be my once in a lifetime. Marshall continued to sway around with her in a circle, chuckling at what she said then listened happily to her as she sang. He slowly dipped her once more then brought her back up as she finished the last part. He smiled then teased, "Well this rain simulated a shower so you sang pretty well.." he chuckled looking into her eyes.
