[Flap flap flap. Flapflapflapflapflap. All the video is currently picking up is a Woobat up close and personal, somewhere in the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. Said Woobat is currently flipping out because he keeps running into walls and doors and ceilings.]

Mickey, will you hold still--

[WHUMP.]

[And Doctors.]

[This is going to be a long day.]

Well--good luck! [DETERMINATION!!!!] I'd offer to help, but...

[She's on the other site of the poke-device. Sob.]

[usedreturn]

I think I can get by with figuring this out myself. Because as it happens, I'm brilliant.

video;

[broomwithaview]

[A giggle.]

And modest!

video;

[usedreturn]

Well, when you're as good as I am you're allowed to be a bit confident.

video;

[broomwithaview]

And what are you so good at, huh? Apparently not making pokemon get better.

[She says it cheekily, not meanly. Her smile's still on, a bit teasing.]

video;

[usedreturn]

I'm good at everything.

video;

[broomwithaview]

Everything? That's a pretty big claim. Can you fly?

video;

[usedreturn]

Usually? Yes.

video;

[broomwithaview]

[See, this is where it gets tricksy.]

On a broomstick?

video;

[usedreturn]

In a phone box.

[do you know how hard it is to get one of those heavy suckers off the ground kiki]

video;

[broomwithaview]

Isn't that really inconvenient?

[But do you fly it with your ~spirit~, Eleven.]

video;

[usedreturn]

Not in the least.

[only the spirit of SCIENCE and oh yeah the TARDIS is a fickle bitch on top of that]

video;

[broomwithaview]

Yeah, well, I'm more of a broomstick kind of girl, but do you think that's too traditional?

[SHE WANTS TO BE A HIP WITCH, OK. Get her boogie on in the discos.]

video;

[usedreturn]

I'm sure it's fine for point A to point B, but rubbish for long distances. Where would you store everything? Where would you sleep, for that matter? Not to mention a broomstick is probably not ideal for carrying people along with you.

video;

[broomwithaview]

Sleep? That's silly, you can't sleep and fly.

video;

[usedreturn]

I can.

[Not that he ever actually slept much. But he could. Having a sentient ship was kind of useful that way.]

video;

[broomwithaview]

[Wide-eyed!]

Then if you're not a witch, what are you?

[And in 3, 2, 1--]

video;

[usedreturn]

Who, me?

[oh kiki now you done it]

I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord from the planet of Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I travel through time and space in a big blue phone box called the TARDIS. Sometimes I even bring people along for the ride.

video;

[broomwithaview]

[Whoa--SUDDENLY EPIC MUSIC.

Only...]

I'm supposed to believe that?

[Y'know, she could've bought the TARDIS on its own, probably. But the rest of it--she's seen a few B-movies with shiny aluminum Martians, and he is...not that.]

video;

[usedreturn]

[can you HEAR the orchestra grinding to a halt and petering out]

...I believe you can fly on a broomstick. What's the difference?

video;

[broomwithaview]

The difference is, witches are real. Everybody knows that.

[Duuuuuhhhhh.]

Aliens aren't.

video;

[usedreturn]

They most certainly are. And from where I'm standing, you're the alien. How would you feel if I just said 'oops I don't think you exist even though I'm talking to you right here'?

video;

[broomwithaview]

[Okay that makes her feel kind of bad. Still, she gestures emphatically.]

But you don't look like an alien! You look totally normal!

video;

[usedreturn]

You look like a Time Lord.

We were here first.

video;

[broomwithaview]

So you're not pulling my leg?





...you're actually an alien.



[PENETRATING GAZE TO THE VERY SOUL.]
