Party thread, aaaand GO!

May 16, 2009 02:20

In one corner of the Nexus sits the Doctor, wearing one of those silly cone-shaped party hats (his is green with silver stars on it!), behind a rather long table that has, among a few other things, a huge cake.

Not just any cake.  A birthday cake.  Said cake has three candles on it, one shaped like a 9, one shaped like a 2, and another 9.  There are ( Read more... )

"Ah, to be young again..." Oh, look, Eight! It's your future self wandering past, and he seems to have somehow stolen a piece of cake without asking for it. Shame on you, Twelve.

Why hello there, Twelve, so nice of you to join yourself. The cake is there for anybody who wants some, so no worries about the stolen piece.

"And you're... how old, by now?"

Well, yeah, okay, touché. But what if it was his fifth stolen piece, and he was on a teensy bit of a sugar-high right now?

That's not to say that he is. It's just hypothetical. Totally.

Twelve grins. "Tsk. That's not a polite question.

Your mom's not a polite question. Eight grins. "Perhaps it isn't. But it's also rather dificult to be rude to yourself, isn't it? So I don't see any reason for you to not answer the question."

Aww, come on please he's curious please please pleeeaaase?

Susan is on to you, Grandpappy Eight. Her eyebrows furrow slightly as she peers at the numbers on the cake. "Are you sure that's your age, Grandfather?"

OH MY GIDDY AUNT IT'S SUSAN!!!!! The Doctor runs over to her and gives her a niiiiiiiice big hug, because yay, Susan!

But then he gives her a look. "Of course it's my age, why else would I have put it on my cake if it wasn't?"

YAY HUGS! Susan gives him a big hug back, even though wtf why is he young this still trips her out, but she doesn't say anything because She's A Smart Girl™.

"Well, I thought perhaps you'd lost count along the way and made up a number." Smiiile.

And now he's going to be frowning, because OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A HORRIBLE ACCUSATION, SUSAN.

"I did no such thing! I know exactly how old I am." Notice how he didn't say that 'how old he is' and 'the numbers on the cake' are the same amount.

Lucy doesn't often find herself in the Nexus, if at all, but today seems to be an exception to that rule. Looking around her, she raises a brow, moving around the room and studying the poorly done decorations.

Shaking her head, she tsks under her breath at such a sad display but remains otherwise quiet.

"I'm sorry to say," she starts, looking over her shoulder towards the Doctor. "That I don't seem to have a gift." The corners of her lips turn upward into a faint smile. "Hopefully my presence will be enough for now."

The Doctor smiles. He, of course, has absolutely no idea who this woman is, but it's nice to meet new people, yes? Why, meeting new people is one of his favorite things ever!

"Ah, yes, well," he replies, "No need in bringing gifts! I have more things than I have room for anyway." Which is, of course, a complete and total lie. He lives in a TARDIS, there's always room for more stuff. But it sounded nice to say, anyway.

She knows of him in the vaguest of ways, a picture, stories and the name, of course. Oh, she certainly knows what to call him.

"Do you? And how much do you have, if it's not rude of me to ask?" Her eyes occasionally flicker towards the cake, eyeing the number there. "Nine hundred and twenty nine years worth?"

holycrap2hearts May 17 2009, 00:57:51 UTC
"Yes," he says, still smiling. "Give or take a few centuries." Because he didn't always have the TARDIS, after all, but then again, he's not exactly as young as he claims to be either.

... dot dot dot. "Oh!" He hands her a plate of cake. "Here! If you'd like it."

There is a TARDIS in the corner, her shape being that of a small cabinet. She might seem familiar to the Doctor though, for she may not be the police box yet, she will be soon enough.

Out of the cabinet emerges a small girl, eyes wide and curious as she approaches him, studying the cake with curiosity. "If you want to celebrate your date of birth," she begins. "Why don't you simply go to the day, instead of picking one at random? Or do you not know?"

Oh, and this'll be the Doctor just staring, because he can feel that she's his, but he can also feel that she's, well, not his at the same time, and you'll have to forgive him, but the feeling is making his temporal senses just a touch on the dizzy side.

"Er... hello," is all he can manage. Sorry about that, baby-TARDIS.

She stares back at him, head tilting just a little as he keeps it up. She understands that things aren't quite right, can feel the inaccuracies in the timeline but the full extent is lost on her. The Chameleon Circuit may not be damaged yet but the TARDIS is still in need of a few good repairs.

"Hello." She smiles, even waves to him because that seems about right given the current situation. "You don't seem to be enjoying your party anymore."

Yeah, he's still not quite over this. It's weird. Very, very weird, because he's met people before he's met them, but never his TARDIS, and the psychic link that should be there but isn't is...

Well, it's not exactly the most pleasant of feelings, that's for certain.

"Oh, no, party is going wonderfully!" he says hastily. "Would you like some cake? ... Can you eat cake?"

The Doctor is slipping off his when he hears the deceleration from his younger Self. Raising a brow, he strolls over, studying the cake and smirking.

"Oh, it's our birthday then? Great! Haven't had a good party in ages." He pats himself on the back before swiping a finger full of icing and given an approving nod.

(OOC: Oh yay, we're starting to filter into the AU section!)

"It might as well be our birthday," this Doctor says, grinning. But then.... hmmn, the other Doctor makes for the icing, and this Doctor really sort of wishes people would stop doing that, and just get pieces of it, because it might make other people not want to eat cake, if they realize people have had their fingers all in it.

Not that, you know. This Doctor probably wouldn't have done the exact same thing if he stumbled across someone else's party, but the fact remains.

And so, he hands a plate of cake to the Doctor. Eat it, damnit.

He cannot be expected to leave cake untouched, it is simply impossible and should not be expected of him.

However, he will take the cake and eat it, if only because he gets the feeling that it may not end well for him if he doens't.

Plus it's cake. Why would he say no to cake?
