[ 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. ))

...Hush, you!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Why should I? [Hmph. This is a valid solution.] It won't be hard to deal with them. Or broken things.

[ The Doctor goes to speak but turns around. There's a rat standing on the chair. A rat. With a crown. ]

Just give it some gingerbread.

[Ami, no nutcracker prince is ever going to share his kingdom with someone who's suggesting handing over victims.

Even if it is just gingerbread.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ He stares at her, aghast. Ami, Ami. What are you thinking? ]

That's not how it works!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[But it is!]

Are you really sympathizing with a cookie, made to be eaten?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

No! I could, but, no! That is not how the Nutcracker goes.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Who says we can't change it? [She really needs to learn a few lessons when it comes to that; but at least here, it can't really hurt anything.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Changing things usually ends up bad for--[ He suddenly grabs her and ducks as small canon ball fire launches over them. ]

What are you-

[Then she realizes what he's doing and her head whips around to get a better look at where the fire is coming from.... There!]

[She never thought she'd say this about mice, but...]

At this rate, should I transform? [What is this even.]

bahaahaa

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Only if you want to destroy the whole house!

[ The mice are attacking the doll cabinet! ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Hey, she can control her powers very well, thank you. And now she grins. She can still take care of them without transforming; it'd been half of a joke.]

You don't mind if they die, right?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Did they die in the original? It's been a few lives.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

No. They're cowards, like mice, and they ran away instead of facing their end honorably.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Then why do they follow the Nutcracker and Clara?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Because he was their target anyway, and she was a weak girl.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

But, if they're cowards, they wouldn't have!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Even a coward might stay to fight if they think they have a more important reason.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

You're not very good at this.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Well that's not too fun to hear.]

At what, exactly?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

The whole thinking outside of being black and white.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Well, no. She never has been. The categories have just grown more rigid.]

And if I prefer seeing things clearly? What business is it of yours?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Something that we won't get to at this moment! Either we try to stop the fight or we go back to the TARDIS.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Are you saying you plan to have these mice make peace? [Because that's what it sounds like. And since when has she ever been a peacemaker? (A long time ago.)]
