This isn't right. Not that background music for one's everyday life is a typical occurrence, mind you. But this, this music is Not Right. That's with capital letters, by the way, to underscore the not right-ness of the situation.

Now I don't think whatever's playing this background music would just suddenly switch to rather threatening tones without reason. So I have to think that perhaps something is coming.

Maybe several somethings. Maybe a flock, or a fleet, or a similarly alliterative name for a group of Somethings. That's with another capital, because I don't think this is just a something, this is a Something.

Which leaves the question, just what is this Something and how do we stop it? Questions. Plural.

Well, aren't we all lucky.

There's a Doctor in the house.

I know, right?

Everyone else is all 'I wanna go home I wanna go home' but why should we rush it.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I'm always in a rush. Lots of running, things like that. But I always stop for a bit of adventure.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

Yeah I run a lot too, football player.

Was.

Sort of.

For now.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love football. [Said the alien who was talking about another sport entirely.]

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

You do? Do you ever play?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

It's happened now and again. There was one time with a friend during World War I--odd circumstances, but the game was brilliant.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

World war I? So you're from back in time?

I thought they only played soccer during that war, anyway.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I've been to a lot of places. And times. Anywhere and anywhen. Is anywhen a word? It should be.

...of course they did, what did you think I was talking about?

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

The word is anytime, isn't it?

I thought you were talking about football. Or American football, I guess. That's what I play.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I think 'going anywhen' sounds better than 'going anytime'. It sounds more time travel-y.

Oh. Well, I'm usually in the UK. When I'm on Earth, that is. So American football's a bit less common.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

It's kind of uncommon in Japan, too.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That so? hadn't pegged you for being Japanese--or from Earth at all, really.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

And why's that? My out of this world people skills?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Sure, let's go with that.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

So where are you from, then?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I was in England before I suddenly showed up here.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

Well that's not really the answer I was looking for. Where are you from?

Oh, and I was in America before I got here.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, here and there.

America? Lovely place, I should go there more often.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

So you're from anyplace, anywhere, anywhen?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Something like that, yes.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

Whatever, keep your fucking secrets for all I care!

So, uh, what pokémon did you get?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Not quite a secret, really--I'm something of a wanderer.

Me? Oh, I've got Adric here. [The camera shifts to show a sleeping Abra floating at the Doctor's side.]

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

That looks pretty cool give me it.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No thanks. Not one to give up my companions easily.

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised at how often that trick fails.

I'm not one to give up my team mates easily either.
