the Doctor | 005 | Day 70 | Video

[nevermindtherunning]

[Thanks to Donna, the Doctor was now refueled by tea. A thermos-full to be exact as he sat out on the front steps of his house, taking a break from spending hours upon hours working on his project. The outer shell of the generator was complete, and now the difficult task of fine tuning the inner bits and adapting.]

Later this week, there might be some random power outages. That'll most likely be me, so a bit of a head's up. Erm, sorry... It shouldn't last terribly long, though.

...Any news of people's disappearances? Sorry, I've been something of a hermit these last few days despite monitoring the network.

[Private to Jubilee]

When you get the chance, stop by. I need to do some readings of your powers. If you don't mind, that is.

All things considered, it's really a minor inconvenience. It's not exactly technology heaven here.

[nevermindtherunning]

No, no it isn't, which is a bit frustrating, eh?

How're you holding up?

[hexappeal]

It can be, though I can't say I've ever relied a lot on technology. Perks of magic, I guess.

Hrm? Well, I think. Just a little bored. I should probably make myself useful since I'm good at throwing caution to the wind, but when you're warned of giant mechanical bears it kind of sucks the fun out of that.

[nevermindtherunning]

Yes, I've heard about that... Dilandau is researching them. Perhaps for future reference!

[The Doctor is lying. He had a feeling what exactly the boy was doing.]

[hung_garian]

What's all the power usage for, buster? Planning on putting out the Christmas lights already?

[nevermindtherunning]

Hmmm, that'd be be delightful! But I think you know already why.

[hung_garian]

I've an idea or two. [A wink, because he is the least subtle person ever. What are secret plans?] Course, I almost think the neon lights'd be a better use of the power.

[nevermindtherunning]

Yeah? Light up the house numbers?

[Because the Doctor can be really mature too.]

Or make us better targets? What about those glow sticks? Those are fun!

[Private]

[thelittlestbub]

Sure, not a problem. I can be there in about an hour, if that's cool. I'll have a furry tagalong, if you don't mind.

[Private]

[nevermindtherunning]

Furry... tagalong?

[Now someone was far too curious!]

[Private]

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee laughs and twists her wrist to show the pair of direwolves on the other end of the couch. Neither one even moves when she tucks her feet under them.]

One of them is usually with me. If not both.

[nevermindtherunning]

Ohhh! Lookit them! Aw, look!

[He liked dogs better than cats, by far.]

I had a dog once! He loved to play chess with me.

[noblexcompanion]

What are you up to, Spaceman?

[ Seriously, Doctor. Stop breaking things with your junk sculpture. ]

Just be thankful there's no Countdown or Pointless on the telly for your tinkering to interrupt.

[ voice - private ]

[nevermindtherunning]

Getting us out of here, Donna! I've made some great progress. Didn't I mention it when I was getting tea?

[He thinks for a moment, then realizes perhaps not and was too distracting talking about the generator, but nothing specifically on what it was for.]

[ voice - private ]

[noblexcompanion]

You mentioned your junk sculpture. So, what? We all gonna hop aboard the magic junk machine and hitch a ride home?

[nevermindtherunning]

As delightful and entertaining as that sounds, no. Well! No, to an extent.

Remember that one time with the Sontarans and I made the atmospheric converter? It'll be something like that. Only bigger.

[foundacause]

I'm sure we could find ways to create a few sparks, sugar.

[ video ]

[nevermindtherunning]

[Clueless Doctor is clueless.]

Oh? And how do you suggest that?

[ video ]

[foundacause]

Me. You. A whole lot of heated friction - the good kind.

[mentis]

Power outages? [ He's probably more interested in whatever science-y thing you're up to rather than what's going to the power. ]

( v i d e o / private )

[nevermindtherunning]

Yuuup!

I'm making something rather big, and will be running some preliminary testing with Jubilee's help. Although I'm beyond the initial planning stages of it, the testing will be questionable.

( v i d e o / private )

[mentis]

Oh do tell. [ Because interesting. ]

[burnburnburn]

If you end up making something that'll benefit me I can suffer through the loss.

[nevermindtherunning]

What do you have in mind? Anything in particular?

[burnburnburn]

I'll see what you come up with and let you know.

Do you know how long it will be until you need my help?
