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?

[What a funny man. The interesting fashion statement doesn't mean much of anything to Zelda, most of what people wear in Vatheon is strange to her. The whirring thing he's carrying around is new, as is the way he seems to be investigating the situation... out loud. Is he talking to someone? Is he crazy?

Well, he doesn't look dangerous at least. She holds out a towel to him.]

Hello there, sir.

[aim_exorable]

If it feels familiar, then perhaps you've been here before.

[Don't mind the seven foot something troll that's standing nearby, Doctor. After being forced out of his hive yesterday with things not going straight to hell, Darkleer has been slightly less paranoid. Just slightly. So just for a very quick moment, he ran out to get something from the Nostalgia Quarter. His new basement needed it, alright.]

[It just happens so that as he's making his way there, he passes by the curious little man that's muttering to himself.]

Are you going to dry yourself?

I hope you don't mind previous CR

[lamorteblanc]

[ There's a small frown at the sight of this tweed covered individual. Talking about a TARDIS, that sonic screwdriver... Oh, this one just had to. He approaches, calm as you please and offers a towel. ]

The Doctor, I presume?

[brbstealingpknm]

Congratulations on being more observant than most morons who arrive here. [Silver snorts though. He's only too used to the monthly arrival of the new comers to have much faith that most of them aren't as dumb as they seem.]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai looks up from where he is crouching by the fountain when that familiar splash is heard. It seems it is time to welcome another new person to the bubble. He stands up, arms full of animal shaped balloons and smiled towards the new arrival.]

Welcome~ Maybe you've been here before and that is why it feels familiar. If so, welcome back. If not, then welcome to Vatheon!

[fistfullofmagic]

Perhaps the coral has drawn you in before.

[Just a six-foot-seven man who seems not to particularly care about the newest arrival's fashion sense. Pay him no mind. The odd little device and the stranger's peculiar way of investigating his surroundings has clearly piqued Dhaos' curiosity enough to go over and talk.

...Well, that, and the fact that he can quite distinctly hear two hearts beating when most creatures get along fine with just one.]

...Forgive me if this is a rude question, but I have no knowledge of any species that requires two hearts.

[bestestfurrend]

[Flashy green light! It attracts the attention of the small cat-like troll who'd been passing by with her arms full of a sketchbook and drawing supplies.

The Doctor will hear a long drawn out ooooooh from behind him.]

Do it again, make the light again!

Late forever and ever and ever

[lucentpalisade]

[ Hello Doctor, you're currently be stared at by a strange little girl. Well.. Strange little girl and strange older man, it works, right? Why is she staring? Well... ]

Is it answering?

[ Because she assumes he's talking to the coral. ]

It never talks back to me, but it brought my friends when I asked it. [ Purely by coincidence, but shh. ]

[shirleyhopeful]

[blink blink]

That's quite an interesting device you have there.

[worldofhurt]

[Sheena's quiet, hand on a hip, and just observing the newcomer for a moment; she'd been all set to approach him and ask him if he wanted any help, but... Then he'd started carrying on with himself. Weirdly. So she'd just... Not. And wait until he's done.

Maybe she should just go back, get someone else... In case he's crazy on top of being weird. But then that last statement catches her, and she has to wonder. Out loud.]

Familiar, huh? Well, I guess it's the kind of place you'd never forget. Vatheon has some weird properties to it, too.

[Hello Doctor, meet Ed. The gangly teenage girl(?) is hanging upside down from a nearby pole. She watches the new arrival with a smile. He seemed very fun! At the base of the pole is a sleeping Welsh Corgi that is currently lounging on what appears to be a computer of some variety.]

Navy blue, deja vu. That is what happens when Ed does something she thinks she already did.

[theinfamous1412]

[ 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. ]

/just throws Sol in this shit too for SCIENCE!

[immoralflame]

[Regular Einstein, ain't this guy? Sol doesn't utter a word, just keeps on as he is: right hand in his pocket and the square-edged blade in his left hand bracing against his shoulder as he walks. He's just a passer-by, not paying the man any more mind than is strictly necessary since he's in Sol's line of sight.

Guy's obnoxious with his chattering, but not giving Sol much reason to be at all helpful. At least, not until the "Sonic" is pulled out. That catches his attention. Course diverted, Sol's just gonna pause while the newcomer wanders his path, head cocked towards a shoulder to peer at the man.]

Pockets in general're "odd".

[Well, his theory is that it's a pocket.]

So's deja-vu.
