[ The Doctor simply nods to the dreamer as they find themselves in The TARDIS console room. He's flying around the console, as par usual, hitting random things and random dials. Sitting on his head is a cowboy hat. Somehow, it just works with the bowtie, suspenders and green coat. Don't ask. ]

Right then! I've got a special treat in mind. [ He turns away from the console, facing the dreamer with a smile on his face. He crosses his arms over his chest. ] I've got the TARDIS set up to land on one day of the year - any year - any place in any year! One special day. It comes around every year but it's the day that almost everyone looks forward to. All I have to do is hit the randomize blinker and we're off!

Call it a present! You'll understand when we land.


(( ooc: non-event post for December! The Doctor is taking your characters to a place they've never been before on December 24th--Christmas Eve! Just head on over to the R.N.G. and leave the number you picked somewhere in your post. The numbers are from 1-5. It can be brackets, subject header, whatever~ but you won't know where your character is going until they do! ALSO: This is a canon update post to post-Closing Time (6.11). The Doctor is off on his round about last tour before he heads to his death. Hence the present to you all. ))

Gots me a 2!

[ It's another trip in the TARDIS. Usagi absolutely loves the rides provided by the ship and the Doctor and she can't exactly complain too much.

Although, she can't help but stare at that cowboy hat sitting on his head. So when he finally pauses in his huge explanation about what they're doing tonight, she has to perk up before he can start rambling again. ]

What day is that?

[ She pauses. ] And do I get a hat?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Spoilers.

[ He reaches up and tips his hat. ] Do you want a hat? You can get one in the wardrobe.

[herlonelystar.livejournal.com]

[ At first, she pouts because he's not telling her what day they're going to be visiting.. but her expression lightens up considerably. Like that, she's bolting upstairs so she can find the wardrobe but then stops at the top to look down. ]

... where's the wardrobe again? Eheh...

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ A sigh. He gestures to one of the hallways. Honestly, it's a dream, so she doesn't need the long direction list. ]

4. Make it beautiful, Doctor <3

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Really, Doctor? Mercury gives him that half-amused, half-quizzical what are you up to now? look. Her eyes follow the cowboy hat. Well, she's the last person to criticize fashion.]

You've gone through quite a production to arrange this. [Which, perhaps, is flattering.] I won't ask where it is, but make it the best, alright?

[This is perhaps about as relaxed as she can be expected to be. She seems comfortable inside the TARDIS, this odd space that isn't quite belonging to any world. And she's always longed to see new places.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ Really. ]

Or I'm easily bored. Let's go with the production arranging. [ He eyes what she's wearing. ] You can be a bit more festive than that, can't you? Dresses. Girls like dresses, don't you?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Her body shimmers in a blue aura with an impression of black rose petals, and Ami emerges in Mercury's place, dressed quite well.]

Is this what you want?

Survey says 5!

[ The easiest way to date how long it's been since Romana's last trip in this TARDIS was to note the desktop theme. It was a new one for her. Just like the Doctor, the TARDIS seemed to also be in the habit of changing.

Refraining from making any sort of comment at least for the moment about his choice of hat, she wandered along beside the controls, finger tips brushing over the controls ever so gently, making sure to be careful to not accidentally trigger a switch or button. Her right eyebrow arched, her expression curious, as she looked to him. ]

Are you certain you'll be able to get the time right for once?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ And, the Doctor lets her. Honestly, Romana knows how to fly a TARDIS better than him. ]

How can I get it wrong? It's a randomizer!

[stillherown.livejournal.com]

[ That's because she read the manual. ]

Well, you are an extraordinary Time Lord, Doctor. You can do things that no others can.

[ And she'll wait for the one to sink in and fully register. In the meantime she simply smiles and watches him. ]

3. Let's go~

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[He's honestly surprised. He hasn't really celebrated Christmas since he was a kid, not since his parents died, and now, here's this stranger in a cowboy hat telling him that he'll understand when they land.

When they land?]

Where are we going? [Oh, god. DID KOTETSU PUT YOU UP TO THIS...]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ The Doctor stops and looks at the man. Hm. He's new--ah well, the more the merrier! He grins and jumps over to him, offering his hand. ]

Hello! I'm the Doctor.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[Well, he'd better be polite, then. He puts on his best smile and shakes the offered hand.]

I'm Barnaby Brooks Junior. It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor...

[He trails off.]

rolled a 4

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

Hello again. [Sephiroth isn't too surprised to find himself here, his gaze lingering on the interesting alien technology again.]

A special day? And what might that be? [He doesn't ordinarily celebrate holidays. He's spent most of his life at war, and he has no family to speak of.]

Randomly? [That strikes him as a risky prospect, considering the nature of the vessel.] You think that would be preferable to a plan?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Ah, General. Hello. [ Let's just say they exchanged names, yes? ]

Oh--you'll probably know once we see it. Otherwise this is going to be very awkward. [ The Doctor grins. ] It's always preferable!

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

[That's fine with me!]

What kind of day could remain constant throughout time and space?

I would be concerned that a vessel capable of randomly landing anywhere or any-when could make its way to some unpleasant destinations. [He might be a little too sensible at times.]

three!

[ghostpsychosis.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say anything at first, he's kind of wandering around and touching things. One hand in his pocket, the other randomly reaching out to touch buttons or surfaces.]

What does TARDIS stand for, anyway?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Time And Relative Dimensions In Spaaaaa--Don't touch that! [ He reaches over and waves Tate's hand away. ] Not unless you want us crashing into a nebula!

[ghostpsychosis.livejournal.com]

So what? It's not like we would die.

[But he does move his hand away, slipping in into his pocket. He'll deal with it for now. He wasn't in the best of moods, but after a few days of getting used to it, he was being a little better. Sort of.]

O-One?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Everything seems to spin around Xion. This place -- This place is unlike anything she's ever seen. All she can do is stand there, rooted to one place, arms dangling at her sides, as the strange man bounces around what looks like to be a strange computer, which is in the center of the strange metal room. At the very least, her hood is up. She knows that much. That knowledge is comforting.

She'll understand? Really?] ... Will I?

[To the Doctor's eyes, she is a short, thin androgynous figure wearing a black coat (http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/a/a1/Xion_Keyblade_Days.png), hood drawn to the point of only the lower face being visible. It's difficult to make out if her voice is feminine or masculine. Her mind is full of uncertainty and disjointed memories, her spirit supported by a latticework of memories that aren't hers, and her body is fueled by stolen energy.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully you do. Otherwise it could be a bit awkward.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[The dream tells her this is someone she can trust, someone she can like. It makes her feel like this strange place is like home. She allows herself a little smile.]

So... Where are we going?

3~ oh ho ho. C: I am so late.

[helpmeguideit]

Completely and entirely random, then?

[ Charles has come to enjoy these surprises and trips of the Doctor's, though it is only his second one. But it was fascinating. The Doctor was fascinating. And fun. He could forget growing up. ]

Way to be laaaaate to the party!

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ The Doctor pauses and looks back up at Charles. He glances at the door, almost surprised to see him--no, he is surprised to see Charles. But, he smiles at him. One last go-around-Christmas-present for the mutant professor. ]

Not entirely random. The day and the month is already picked, just not the year or the place. Sort of half-random.

I'm always lateeeee~

[helpmeguideit]

[ Charles walks around the TARDIS, he's a bit more comfortable in here than he had expected. ]

Christmas, then? Or am I assuming too much? [ Hey, it is the holidays, after all. ]
