Sebastian+Quentin

Sebastian stood in the middle of the ancient Egyptian desert, the slight breeze blowing in his perfectly styled blonde hair, watching the Egyptian equivalent of Professor Brian Cox being dragged away by two other men. When he'd taken this job, a mere two weeks ago, he'd never expected to find himself working with such weirdos. He knew the job was a little odd, mostly because the job description said that the job was 'a little odd,' but this was really something.

Everyone he'd met back at HHTV didn't seem to realise what sort of people they were dealing with, or where they were going. For starters it was more than 'a little odd' to be going back and forth between time period though giant sewer pipes. Sebastian didn't think he'd ever get used to the rats. Sam, the main news anchor at HHTV towers said that she'd thought the same but then realised that her comment was completely useless as she never went into the sewers anyway. Mike Peabody however, always trying to seem like a proper manly man, declared that he was 'totally fine with the rats' even though he was often seen hiding at the smallest squeak.

"Can we leave now?" Sebastian asked the rest of his crew, pushing his glasses up his nose and squinting in the ancient Egyptian sun. "Actually, that's not really a question, we're leaving now." He walked off back towards the entrance to the sewers and went in, trying to avoid the poo spillage from the stone age.

Once through to the present day Sebastian quickly found himself in the HHTV bathroom that was installed after Steve came back from watching a Georgian Goose-Grabbing match covered in mud and feathers. The bathroom was quite small and very white. The men's one was, anyway, Sebastian didn't know what the women's was like, although he suspected that it was bigger and a lot nicer as it took three extra weeks to build and Jessica Harvey-Smythe always looked incredibly shifty when talking to the plumbers who installed it.

Sebastian undressed and stepped into one of the cubicles in the room. He turned the tap and a stream of warm water came out. He began washing all of the sand off himself. He was amazed at how much sand was able to get stuck to one person on a short visit to the great Pyramids... before they'd even been built.

He heard the door open. Someone entered the cubicle beside Sebastian's and turned his shower on

--ends here. not sure where it was going... or who quentin is.
