the Doctor | 001 | Day 36 | Audio

[There's knocking in a succession of four beats, then a pause, and it starts up again only on a different surface.]

She said my song is ending... Four knocks. Does it matter what surface? Wood? Glass? Solid mass such as plastic toy? Does it even matter?

[To say he wasn't paranoid about the prophecy spoken to him was an understatement, however ever since returning here, there was this nagging feeling in the back of his mind that wouldn't go away. The knocking... If he stayed in one place long enough, was alone long enough, he could hear it over and over.

And then he was finding himself thinking of the Time War more often than usual, and that was never good.]

Four knocks... Are they slow or rapid in succession? Does anyone hear them too, or just myself?

Planning a Poe impression for the village talent show?

[ooc: LOL!!!!]

Don't be daft, no. But, I can hear them. Or at least think I do. Do you hear them? The knocking?

[Because fuck showing her face by this point. What if Raibird sees? Or Hollister? Because she's sure Hollister is around here somewhere, too. Where Rainbird goes, Hollister is sure to be somewhere shouting orders.]

I don't hear knocking. Not extra, anyway. Not past what you're doing.

Nah, man, just everyone here's gone like all crazy and I guess that counts you in too.

Four knocks? I don't hear owt...

No. I do hear a mysterious voice, though. It's saying-- wait, shh, I'm listening-- it's saying 'call a shrink'.

Right. Good. I'm being silly, I think.

[There's an exasperated sigh as he rubbed his face in his hands and a muffled mumble.] I better not be cracking up.

'Gone crazy'? How so?

[The Doctor switches on to the video and leans forward, slipping on his glasses for dramatic effect.]

[That voice. He knew that voice!]

You... don't? Good. Brilliant! Say, who is this?

[He didn't know where she was in her timeline, so this would be walking a fine line.]

Don't be daft! I don't need one! Who is this anyway?

[ It is a voice very few forget! And although his voice seems familiar she can't quite place it. ]

Donna. And you, mystery knock-knock man?

Don't go crazy here. It's nuts already.

Your subconscious?

Good try.

So subconscious, how does one go about ending said hallucinations, assuming they are as such.

I've figured that much out.... I've been here before but left. I don't know how or when, but I did. Perhaps this is punishment?

[Lovely. She didn't know him... Could being stuck here get any worse? He found out Martha is gone and now he can't even reach out to his best mate.]

...John Smith.

[This wasn't going to go well.]

Punishment for what?

If there was no material specified, I'd say that it probably doesn't matter. I heard a few knocks at the beginning of the message, if that has anything to do with it.

Course of Thorazine and a few months' therapy.

I ain't seen so many tweakers in one place in my life, man, and that's saying something. Everyone's all seein' shit. One broad tried to tackle me into a fountain cuz she thought some old lady was after her, alright? A fountain.

[ That's why the name sounded familiar! ]

OH! I know you!

[He can't see him, but the Doctor is ruffling his hair in agitation. Who was this guy anyway?]

You're not the most helpful, y'know that?

For figuring a way out, yeah?

[That's ridiculous, given the Doctor has never been the one to believe karma and what not.] Has other strange things happened here? Do you know?

Oh, 'everyone'? So... It's a group thing? Do you know when abouts it started? I've only been here two days now.

[He couldn't get trapped somewhere without some chaos happening, could he?]

You... do? From where?

[Yes Donna! It's him! Your best mate! But unfortunately, he wasn't feeling very optimistic about this chat.]

That was my own doing... I was testing out how it sounded on different material. But you're right, it wasn't specified.

[Which just made it more complicated.]

I'm aware, yes. Answered your question though, didn't I?

[ Hi there, bestie! She's missed you. Or well, she would've missed you if you hadn't WIPED HER MIND! ]

You were in my house. You're a friend of Gramps, right?

And you fight the pepper pots...

[ Of course not, Doctor, it's not in your nature! ]

Yeah, everyone. Pretty much. Everyone I talked to. Been here- [ He sighs heavily. ] Like'a week, so I guess a li'l longer than that.

You got outta here? [Lucky son of a...] I just got here. Other than being on a bus one minute and waking up next to a fountain the next? That's as weird as it's gotten.

[She'll just happily skip over the fact that she's seeing dead people from her past everywhere.]

I'm Bobbi. Bobbi Tomlinson.

[Oh, look. She's added a dishonest last name to her lie. Wonderful.]

[There's a long pause.]

Technically, welllll, yes. So you can't say you've heard any of the knocks or.... Never mind.

The Doctor.

Hm, I... happened to be on a bus too, but most likely unrelated. [Her accent was wrong, and the name was unfamiliar.]

I just need to figure out what I did the first time and repeat it.

Ah. [He wasn't feeling defeatist about it. Not yet, at least!]

So if you say 'everyone', what has been happening to you?

[Not his fault! She would've died otherwise!]

The what...? Erm, right, your 'gramps'. Yup, that's me! Good ear on ya.

Nothin'. [ Or, wait, no, he's pausing, that's a lie. ] None'a your damn business.

[ Give him one more second. ]

Like, seein' things. Hearin' 'em.

[ He shouldn't leave hands in jars lying about then, should he? Totally his fault. ]

... Small world, eh?

So... try not to get eaten by the wolves - there aren't as many as there were, but still, being chomped to death by giant dogs is so not a classy way to go.

Beware the pepper pots and the lava monsters too. OH and the rhino people. They're real creepy.

No knocks, no 'nevermore's. Sorry.
