You Should Have Knocked
So everyone has had this moment in their life, the one where they were so impatient or absent minded they went flinging a door open when they really shouldn't have. Sometimes its not your fault, how could you know your housemate and his girlfriend were having sex on the kitchen table!? Othertimes someone was in the bathroom

[Technically, the Doctor didn't barge in. The TARDIS did. Her occupant, however, will be out in a mo (after he's picked out the right hat).

Ignore the big, blue police box and go back to what you were doing.]

Gosh I don't know...this is going to be lame probably.

[Arthur was in the middle of reading his way through the newest romance novel. A medieval epic, where the stable boy was wooing the lady of the house. Tacky, and yet somehow incredibly romantic and worthy of his collection.

A collection that not even Morgana knew about, and that's something. When the TARDIS appears in his room, the first thing he does before even freaking out is toss the book under his bed, as if the box full of books was not out in the open. Then he stares at the big blue box that's suddenly appeared in his room. The hell?]

You gotta believe! (That it... won't be lame?)

[aintno_grave]

[So, somehow, River's taken all of his hats. She's even deleted his hat room! Ugh, that woman's a damn hurricane. Still coming out anyways sans hat because you never know what kind of crazy hijinks you're going to get in this time.

However, he doesn't expect to find himself in the bedroom of a teenager... who's sitting in a chair, eyes wide, less than a metre away.]

Hello, I'm the Doctor!

I have this kooky headcanon that modern arthur is a reborn version and the Doctor knew old Arthur.

[lordpratdragon]

[The moment this stranger pops out of that box, Arthur grabs for the closest blunt object he can find--his polo stick, leaning in the crevice between his desk and his shelves. He holds it in his defense, wishing desperately that he had been trained in something useful, like swordsmanship extending past fencing, or firing a gun. But no, the best he has is his polo stick.]

Who the hell do you think you are? How did you even get in here?

That's not kooky; that's pretty awesome (now it's mine; also he knew old Sherlock)

[aintno_grave]

I'm the -- is that Yearned Love's Lost? I love that book!

[Now, the Doctor's pushing you aside to riffle through your books, completely ignoring the polo stick in your hands.]

The Doctor knows everyone. have you seen that awesome tumblr gif set?

[lordpratdragon]

[Now that the Doctor's somewhat distracted, Arthur collects himself and in a moment has the edge of his polo stick up against the Doctor's neck like a sword.] Put that down and step away from the box.

I probably have; but mind refreshing my memory please?

[aintno_grave]

Hm? Oh, right. I should probably go show you my collection.

[He spins around, knocking the polo stick down as he does, and makes his way back to the TARDIS before stopping and spinning back around with a smile.]

Actually, I have a whole library full of books like that. I -- no, wait, I'll just go and show you. [He walks back into the TARDIS, still chatting and muttering away, his voice getting dimmer as he walks to his super-duper secret library of cheap, horrible romance novels.]

[lordpratdragon]

[This is crazy. Completely mental. He should shout for one of the servants and have the man arrested for trespassing. He's obviously a complete nutter. He's staring at the Doctor as such, holding firmly to his polo stick. New questions were being added to his original few, including why the hell this nutjob was hanging out in a box? Why did it sound like he was getting farther away? How the hell could he have a library in a box?

Clearly going into the box was a horrible idea, but he did it anyway. If anyone can defend himself from a stringy nutter, it's Arthur Pendragon. With his polo stick in hand, he slowly sneaks up to the TARDIS and pokes his head in.

And promptly stares, his mouth slightly ajar.]

[aintno_grave]

Alright, bad news... House must've deleted the library. [He comes back with a milk crate full of old books, now wearing a fez.] Good news though, the TARDIS archived most of the library, so at least there's that. Also...

[He places a paper crown on Arthur's head, unaware of his bewilderment (if one uses that term liberally).]

Found some hats!

[OOC: That was pretty badass; I think I would have liked "A Good Man..." more if Sherlock popped up.]

[lordpratdragon]

[I'm sorry Doctor, Arthur isn't listening. He's more than distracted by the impossibility that is the TARDIS. He stares, then looks back into his room again, then inside the TARDIS, eyes wide. He closes his eyes tight then, clenching his jaw.]

This isn't real. I'm dreaming or I've been drugged. That's the only explanation.

[aintno_grave]

That seems to be the only explanation with you lot. [Picking through his crate of books right now.]

But, I assure you, this is most definitely real... unless we're all just fictional characters.

[Quick flicker of the eyes to the camera. Meta Doctor is meta.]

[lordpratdragon]

That's not possible. It's bigger on the inside.

[It takes Arthur another moment as he looks around.] Alight, it looks like I'm inside a space ship. If this is some sort of bizarre kidnapping attempt, you're in for a lot of trouble.

[aintno_grave]

[The Doctor spins around and snaps his fingers at him.] It's also a time machine. Besides, why would I kidnap you?

[lordpratdragon]

...Because of the lure of a handsome ransom?

[Why. Why are you encouraging this, Arthur? With a frown of disbelief, he crosses his arms over his chest, polo stick still in his hand.] Alright, prove it.

[aintno_grave]

Oi, I have you know that this is a very delicate piece of Time Lord technology and, therefore, won't be used --

[He quickly turns back around, presses some buttons (pulls down the gadzooks deflectors), and off they go!

VWORP VWORP baby.]

[lordpratdragon]

What on earth are you blabbering on aboOOOOUUUT!

[Holy crap, something's moving. He stumbles to grab onto the railing before he falls over completely, staring wide eyed once again at the Doctor.]

This is a kidnapping!
