The Doctor Arrives (again)

[thelastgallifreyan]

Who: The Doctor and You
Where: Standard Plaza Drop
When: Late Morning, just before Noon, November 24th
Style: Brackets preferred but I'll match
Status: OPEN

[A rather damp man in a tweed dress jacket and red bow-tie suddenly appears in the plaza next to the corral.

He spins around quickly, observing and taking in the scene before him in a rush of information.

He runs his hand through his hair nervously only to discover that it is wet.]

I'm wet. [He brings his hand down from his head and inspects it. Sniffs it. Then tastes it.]

Correction. [He looks down at the rest of himself and flaps his jacket out a few times as if to get rid of the excess liquid. He begins to straighten his bow-tie.] I'm soaked... [There is a pause.] with salt-water.

And I'm inside a bubble under an ocean next to an enormous piece of coral.

Ooookay. [He claps his hands together and tilts his head to one side and then the other.]

No TARDIS in sight. [He checks his pockets.] Sonic accounted for, that's good. [He removes his sonic screwdriver and takes a reading. There is a green light and an electric buzzing noise for a few seconds. It turns off and he flips the device up to his eyes to inspect the data.]

Well I haven't mis-aimed. There is certainly something odd about this place.

[He places the sonic screwdriver back in his waterlogged pocket.]

So here's a question. [He continues to talk to himself and walks in a semi-circle around the coral.]

Why does this feel oddly familiar?

[ This trouble maker is doing what he does best-making trouble as he pours soap into the fountain. He does it a lot so it's actually kinda boring but sometimes people have fun reactions. He's just finishing pouring the entire bottle in before he finally turns his attention to the new comer, hiding the empty bottle of soap somewhere in his jacket before moving over to him acting like he hasn't been doing anything he shouldn't be. ]

I think they call that Deja Vu, would you like a towel?

[ He pulls one out of nowhere that seems to still be halfway up his sleeve. ]

[thelastgallifreyan]

[The Doctor turns his attention away from his external musings and towards the helpful lad.]

That would be amazing.

[He reaches to take the towel.]

[theinfamous1412]

[ Well... helpful might not be the right word as there seems to be a scarf tied to the corner of that towel and the teenager just grins ]

I'm Kuroba Kaito, by the way.

[ Pay no attention to the pink-foaming fountain. That's normal. ]

[thelastgallifreyan]

Hello Kaito.

[Normally the Doctor would offer a handshake but he's inspecting the scarf attached to the towel he's using.]

I'm the Doctor.

[He looks to the fountain and then back.]

Is that supposed to be doing that? [He begins to rub his face dry.]

[theinfamous1412]

Nice to meet you.

[ Still grinning like the trouble maker he really is. That scarf it tied to another scarf, and that scarf is tied to another and that one is-well you get the idea. ]

[ He peeks innocently over at the fountain and just shrugs. ]

Yeah, it does that all the time. Nothing to worry about.

[thelastgallifreyan]

[No longer quite as dripping, the Doctor tilts his head at Kaito.]

I suppose if there are a lot of people winding up here like me, a communal bubble-bath is appropriate.

[Unable to resist, the Doctor resumes pulling at the scarves. After a few more have come out, he pauses. He looks between the scarves and then Kaito while smiling.]

Just how many do you have in there?

[theinfamous1412]

Yeah, I suppose. I knew a kid that didn't like being thrown in there once though... he got all huffy.

[ Scarf followed after scarf followed after scarf... does it ever end? ]

More than it might seem humanly possible.

[thelastgallifreyan]

[The Doctor narrows his eyes a little and smirks. That sounds like a challenge.

He begins to furiously pull at the scarves, almost breaking into a sweat. Provided they keep coming after ten seconds of this, he gives up, throwing his hands in the air.]

[theinfamous1412]

Oh, so close.

[ Kaito pulls the rest of the scarf chain out to reveal there was only three more left on the chain. ]

[thelastgallifreyan]

[The Doctor's brow remains furrowed but the smirk on his lips shows he's rather enjoying it.]

You could be famous you know. You're quite good. And believe me, I've met some of the best magicians there ever were.

[theinfamous1412]

It can't be helped, I learned from the best after all. But with how this place works you've probably never heard of Kuroba Toichi.

[thelastgallifreyan]

No... sorry.

[He does look apologetic.]

Tell me about him.

[theinfamous1412]

He was the best magician in the world, I was lucky enough to be his son.

[ Said with a pretty heavy mix of pride and sadness ]

[thelastgallifreyan]

[The Doctor smiles.]

I'm sure he'd be proud of you. Is that why you decided to become one as well? Because of your father?

[Being a fan of tricks and illusions himself, he's honestly curious why Kaito does what he does.]

[theinfamous1412]

[ Kaito snaps his fingers and in a puff of smoke there's a dove sitting on his hand. ]

Naah, I mean, that's a big part of it, but it's mostly because I like making people smile. After the accident I didn't really want to touch stage magic for awhile. [ He sets the dove on his shoulder and makes another appear. ] But I've got a friend with a pretty neglectful dad and so to make her smile I picked it back up again-Ah, don't ask her about it though, she'll punch you. That or hit you with a mop and trust me, neither is very pleasant.

[thelastgallifreyan]

I won't then. I don't like being punched much. Or hit with a mop.

[He adjusts his bow-tie as well as the topic.

The Doctor's impressed by Kaito's explanation, but now doesn't seem the time to get mushy and human-y about it.]

Do you have any tricks you're willing to teach an amateur?
