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?

[thelastgallifreyan]

I don't know...

[He still looks hesitant.]

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

normal.

[behind_my_smile]

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.

[thelastgallifreyan]

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.

[behind_my_smile]

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.

[thelastgallifreyan]

Thank you Fai, I'll do that.

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

[behind_my_smile]

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~

[thelastgallifreyan]

[He smiles.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[behind_my_smile]

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.

[thelastgallifreyan]

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.

[behind_my_smile]

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.

[thelastgallifreyan]

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

Where exactly is this host club?

[behind_my_smile]

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

[thelastgallifreyan]

Much obliged.

[He takes Fai's hand and shakes it.]

I'll be dropping in on you shortly.

[behind_my_smile]

I'll look forward to it. Have a good rest of the day, Doctor.
