Stories
Since signing up to tell stories, Martha wasn't completely sure what she should wear. In the end, she elected to wear black - similar to what she wore when she walked the world during the Paradox year. She'd been a story teller then, and she was a storyteller now. Martha stood in a clearing in Tva park. There were hay bales set up for people to sit on, or they could lounge on the ground.

Every other hour, she came out to tell spooky stories. Some were completely made up, some were her adventures with the Doctor (Shakespeare anyone?), and some were stories from home. Poe, Irving, even a story by Louisa May Alcott! Martha knew how to tell a story and she was happy to do so today.

"During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country;" (Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe)

Food/Fun & Games
In between story sessions, Martha found her way to the food table. While the spiced cider looked really good, she elected for tea and honey to help rest her throat. Similarly, she stayed away from most of the sweets. Of course, once her last story session was over, she was going to have a very serious date with some chocolate.

Dance
Martha didn't really plan on dancing, but she did stop by to watch. Of course, that wouldn't stop her from dancing if someone asked her, but she somehow doubted anyone would. It impressed her that there were always dances here, and always takers for dances. Martha stood on the sidelines with some cider, watching everyone and tapping her foot to the music.

	He spotted her hanging around at the edge of the dance, and ambled over with a welcoming smile and an outstretched hand. "Dance with me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha grinned. "Always for you, Jack." She placed her cup down somewhere and took his hand. "How was your day?" she asked as he led her to the dance floor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was good to see her smile, and to feel her coming willingly with him onto the floor. He hadn't been absolutely certain she would. "Eh, it's been all right," he says, with a shrug, tugging her into his arms. "I spent a lot of it supervising the games which wasn't the most exciting, but - you know. It earned some points!"

	She placed her arm on his shoulder and nodded. "Yeah. I told stories. Figured I'd use my talents. And I do like telling stories." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Heh, perhaps I should have done that too!" he chuckles, starting to move them gently to the beat. The music is a bit freakish for his taste, really, but at least it has a strong beat to dance to. "I have a lot of stories I could tell - and some of them are even true!" Wildly embellished, most of the time, but on the other hand, some of them don't need to be! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know, I rather liked not having competition. Though Reid did sort of join me for one story." She grinned. "He was dressed as Edgar Allan Poe and I happened to be reciting the Fall of the House of Usher." She followed his lead quite well, but Jack was always an easy lead to follow. It made dancing wtih him such a pleasure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? That's cool!" Both the coincidence and the fact that she'd had some good interaction with Reid, especially since she'd been scared she'd driven him away with the vampire thing. "Have to admit, Edgar Allen Poe is one I never met. He didn't really hang out in the circles I frequented as a Time Agent, and he was dead by the time I got stuck in Cardiff."

	Martha merely lifted an eyebrow. "Reid's quite the story teller. If it weren't for the fact he's not typically one to be onstage, I think he'd be quite good at it. Would definitely give me a run for my money!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, who'd have thought it! He always seems so mousey! Hidden depths, eh?" he grins, twirling her a bit, because he likes it when that makes her laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Martha did laugh when he twirled her, though twirling in trousers didn't have quite the same effect as a swirly skirt. "I think it helped that he was reciting a Poe story while dressed as the author himself. Able to hide behind the costume or something like that. Either way, he was pretty good. But the storytelling was fun today. Glad I at least got to do something fun."

Yeah, the lack of a skirt did mean twirling wasn't quite as fun (though he'd be making up for that later with Captain Kirk and his cape!) but it was still worth it to see her laugh.

"Well, that's two fun things today, then!" he grinned, slowing his movements to a gentle sway for a moment as that tune came to an end, waiting to see what would follow. To his pleasure, it was something with more of a jive feel to it, and he grinned again. No-one could feel sad whilst jiving! "Now this is more like it!" he declared, coming out of hold to spin her under one arm.

Martha laughed again at his giddiness for the swing, though she had to focus more on this dance. As such, her conversation lagged until the dance was over. Once he let her up from the dip, Martha gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

"I think I need a drink after that." She took his hand and led him to the beverage table, grabbing whatever the acid green drink was.

"Don't know if you heard, but I did talk to Ianto."
