[is that who you think it is broadcasting over the sphere? yes. yes, it definitely is. seven-year-old Oliver is sitting on the floor in the middle of the Doctor's kitchen, practically swimming in one of his older counterpart's sweatshirts. he's in the process of working the trousers off his legs, mostly without the use of his hands as they're

[dawnward]

[...oh no.

Riku's wondering how exactly this happened, and if it's going to be catching]

[oliverplus]

[he remembers you! and you're not talking again, so he starts making funny faces]

[dawnward]

[hey now, they are in a very serious situation]

Nobody can play right now, so you'd better just stay where you are.

[oliverplus]

What? Why not?

Is it because the cup is broken? I didn't do it!

[bit_impossible]

[he finally storms in to his suite after his little tirade, and stops short hearing that "Uncle Doctor" thing. at least the carols have stopped, but he quickly feels his anger dwindle when he sees his young companion.] Ollie? What--no, it's this damn ship again. [quietly] And you remembered Lara...

[oliverplus]

[he doesn't like the look of you at all] Why wouldn't I remember Lara? Where is she, Uncle Doctor? What's wrong?

[bit_impossible]

[just...looks downcast and approaches him, stoops over, and hugs him tightly]

[oliverplus]

[looks up at him, confused and worried. quietly] Uncle Doctor, are you okay?

[not_that_lockon]

[...... is that? No way.]

Oliver?

[oliverplus]

Yeah, I'm Ollie! How does everybody know my name? Are you Uncle Doctor's friend?

[not_that_lockon]

[He has to suppress a smirk at "Uncle Doctor"; oh, he's not going to let the Doctor live that one down...]

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

[oliverplus]

Okay, then you're not a stranger. What's your name?

[by_my_will]

You should stay where you are, Oliver. Things are not safe right now.

[oliverplus]

Everybody keeps saying that! [pouts] But I wanna see movies and play games and see my friends.

[by_my_will]

Maybe a little later... [really hoping that works, knows nothing about kids under 14]

[oliverplus]

[makes a face. but if he has to be bored for now...] Will you play games with me later?

[flareofgenius]

[blink blink blink. What is a kid doing here? Not that Lucca dislikes kids, just.]

Are you alright? […which is probably not her best response ever, but. Hasn't really seen this before.]

[oliverplus]

[blinks back at her] Yeah. Except everybody keeps saying I've gotta stay in the room! [pouts]

[flareofgenius]

They're probably just worried. Things've been a bit chaotic lately. [she manages a smile] Is anyone with you now?

[oliverplus]

Yeah, Uncle Doctor is here! Except he's a cat. Did you know he's a wizard and can change into a cat?
