☄ 008; [video/action] the TARDIS broke the fourth wall

[usedreturn]

Hello there.

[The Doctor is looking particularly smug today. But seeing as he is currently flanked by two massive Pokemon, that is not at all unjustified.]



Look what I found~ [He raised his hand, in it a peculiar device.]

So. Does anyone know just where my two new friends came from?

[He's gone from traveling through time and space to LITERALLY CONTROLLING IT.]

[Johto best watch its ass.]

Got it in one.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

Of course I did! They were huge when we were little. And to think, they really were roaming around some world out there.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Imagine that. Brilliant, isn't it?

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

It is. So, what are you doing here, Doctor? [jokingly] Did Professor Oak call you?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Well, I did meet him. Weird one, that. But no, I just sort of woke up here.

1/2

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

[...oh.]

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't remember how you got here?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No idea. And let me tell you, traveling through time and space without an actual transport device is usually somewhat brutal. Killed a friend of mine once...though he was fine a few minutes later, so I'm not sure if that counts.

The point is, things like this don't happen every day.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

[well, that's terrifying. pause]

Doctor, what did you say was the last time you saw me?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Well, we argued about a duck pond, you stuck my tie in a car door, and the world was going to be incinerated.

...I'm guessing that last part turned out fine.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

No.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...Sorry, what.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

No, that's wrong.

[specificity is for losers]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Wrong in what sense, exactly? Is the world now a very large bit of coal? Did you not stick my tie in a car door--which I do clearly remember--or am I going utterly mad?

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

You're always mad. [dismissively] No, that wasn't the last time you saw me. You caught Prisoner Zero! You did your whatsit to scare off the aliens! You left and then you came back and asked me to come with you!

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

As fun as that sounds--and it does, really, brilliantly fun--that hasn't happened. Not yet.

Sounds like some sort of timeline discrepancy.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

A timeline discrepancy?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

You know, running into someone at multiple points along their natural timeline? Obviously, you're further ahead than I am.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

So it's like with River Song, then? But how is that possible? We were just together!

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No idea.

And that's really not something I say often.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

[quiet for a moment]

So. What have you been doing, for a month?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, traveling. That sort of thing.

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

Traveling? Doing...anything in particular?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Wandering about with Adric, mostly.

[And right on cue, there is an Abra floating up next to him.]

[keepstheaccent.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, hello...Adric. [lowers her voice with the hopes that only the Doctor will hear] Did you name it?
