vatheon | The Doctor Arrives (again)

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?

It doesn't really do us any good to look on the down side right? That will just make things harder.

Precisely.

So, where are we headed?

Ah well..I was following you. [Fai laughs and looks around.] Do you have someplace to stay? We could start there.

Normally I stay in my ship. I also don't tend to spend too much time in any one place.

But, since I don't have the former and the latter has been more or less decided for me by the former and the giant coral - I suppose I should find something for the night.

Where do normal people usually stay?

There are all kinds of apartments around the city that you could stay in. You just have to find an apartment building you like and then you can find an open room.

Really? That sounds amazingly simple. There's no rent or anything else like that?

I think there is rent but it comes out of this. [Fai holds up his own SFC.] All your money is kept track on in here. I have two jobs though so I never really know how much money I have.I just do whatever I want. [Keeping track of things? Whats that?]

Jobs... [He frowns.]

What do you do?

I have two jobs! I work in a tavern as a server and then I also am a host at the local host club.

I worked in a toy shop once.

[He grimaces a little.]

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really for me.

[Keeping track of money, or a lot of things, has never been a strong point for the Doctor.]

What does a host at a host club do?

You just smile and make people feel welcome and tell them stories and just make sure they get to relax and have some fun. And I help in the kitchen so I keep everyone well fed.

Hmm... I don't think that would work for me. I suppose I could tell stories, but I'm not really a cook.

Are there any other options?

[Even if there are, the only one he'd ever be happy with is self-employment.]

You wouldn't have to cook. Rin-kun and I take care of all of that. All you would have to do is make sure the guests have a good time. If you have lots of stories I'm sure you would make a good host.

You could also start your own businesses if there is something you enjoy doing.

I don't know...

[He still looks hesitant.]

This staying around a while and having to get a job just isn't...

normal.

Well no..not really. But this place isn't exactly normal. That's one thing we can be sure of. We don't really have a choice though.

Of course we do. You always have a choice.

And I choose not to get a job or be trapped here until I learn more. It won't be the first time I've been stuck somewhere...

[He looks around.]

...but you can't just arrive in these situations and assume you are.

[He pats Fai on the back.] Even if you meet an extremely helpful person.

I'm glad I could help at least a little. I'm sure someone will be able to figure out the secrets of this place. Perhaps you will be that person~

If you ever need any help with anything I'd be willing. Just give me a call.

Thank you Fai, I'll do that.

Good luck with the hosting! I might stop in to see what it's all about.

You should~ You can come in as a guest and see what it is like and then maybe someday you'll want to join us. Feel free to request me at any time. I take good care of my guests~

[He smiles.]

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll look forward to seeing you~ Is there anything you especially like to eat or drink? I'll make sure its prepared and ready.

I'll eat just about anything. Except apples. Apples and beans. Apples, beans, and bacon.

[He seems to be done... then begins again.]

Apples, beans, bacon, yogurt, bread and butter, and carrots.

You know what? Let's just say tea and cakes. I like tea and cakes.

You don't like apples? I thought everyone liked those. You have some very interesting tastes. [Fai is clearly amused but nods at the shortened list.]

I'll remember to have some tasty cakes and tea ready for you.

Brilliant. [He begins to walk off, but walks right back. He seems to have remembered something.]

Where exactly is this host club?

[Another laugh and Fai points it out down the street.] If you ever need to find any place just give me a call.
