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?

[Like many a mystery detective, he's only happy when there's a problem that needs to be solved.]

Of course it does.

Things can never be that easy can they? [Is it a rhetorical question? Maybe, but he's looking right at her.]

[shirleyhopeful]

...No, it can't.

Although it makes me wonder if anyone got close to finding an exit here. It's starting to seem rather...difficult now.

[thelastgallifreyan]

Have a lot of people tried? Are they increasing security?

[shirleyhopeful]

I know there is a defense force but I think that's about it?

[Hm...]

[thelastgallifreyan]

So they've developed a force to prevent people from leaving.

[He taps his chin.]

Tricky.

[shirleyhopeful]

Ah, that's not what I meant!

[Whoops]

I meant that they're there to help people if anything bad does happen to them! If someone doesn't have magical abilities, they'll be there to help them out!

[thelastgallifreyan]

Well why didn't you say so!? That's much better.

[He rubs his hands together.]

Do you think we could convince them to help us escape?

[shirleyhopeful]

I think they're trying to figure out a way out but...I haven't heard anything from them about it. So...you can ask!

[thelastgallifreyan]

I can do that. I'm good at asking questions.

[He gives Shirley a bit of a wink.]

[shirleyhopeful]

Oh? Are you really?

[Don't mind her teasing a bit]

[thelastgallifreyan]

Or so I've been told. I don't really know what all the fuss is about.

[He adjusts his bow-tie.]

Now, Shirley Fennes, is there anything I can do for you?

Besides trying to find a way out of here.

[shirleyhopeful]

Ah...no, I don't think so. I'm pretty happy so far!

[outside of the issue of Walter...]

[thelastgallifreyan]

Well you've been very helpful, so if there's anything you need just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Alright?

[shirleyhopeful]

....

All right...but please do take care, Doctor.

[thelastgallifreyan]

Of course I will. [He smiles.]

I'm the Doctor.
