[ 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. ))

Well, that is a lovely thought, but we do know that wont happen.

So you still have some sense after all. [says the girl who really doesn't believe much in peace.]

Of course! I have a lot of sense!

So what's wrong with this way of handling it instead, then?

Only the fact that you could break something. Yourself being one of them. They're launching canon balls!

So your answer is to do nothing? To let it happen?

[Seriously, Doctor.]

First of all, I'm not afraid of mice. Second of all, I'd rather wipe them out than let them keep irritating me.

Yes and if you wipe them out then it ruins the entire story!

So you'd just let them go? [No. The story matters less than... well, it's ridiculous to think of mice as an enemy, even she knows that, but the same point stands.]

Yes. I'm not about to kill mice just because--

[ Oh, there goes a canon ball right in front of his face. ]

[Ami turns her head in the direction of the canon ball, then back to the Doctor.]

Starting to consider it yet?

Ah--nope... was that always there?

[ His eyes are at the clock in front of him. That has a man floating over it. ]

[At this point, this is getting up there on the weirdness scale and she's waiting for the moment she's going to have to duck a cannonball herself. So she makes a joke of it.]

The clock, or the guy?

The guy. The clock has always been there.

Why not ask him? [Her real question is what this spirit, or whatever it is, intends to do.]

I don't think he's feeling very talkative. I don't think he's feeling anything, really... besides transparent-y.

Planning to put the restless spirit to rest? [Isn't that a bit cliche if you are?]

Ah, well, uhm.... not exactly. Alright, yes. Maybe a little.

You're too sweet.

[But since she's here...]

Tell me just what 'a little' means, and I'll consider helping you.

It's a thing. Sort of like a plan but more thing-like and less plan-like.

If you're going to try something, it should at least be more than a 'thing'.

[Doctor, what is she going to do with you, really?]

You'd be surprised how useful things are!

Enough. [She can only take so much head-spinning, after all.]

What do you intend to do?

Like I said. It's a thing. That I'm working on.

How about more details? [Before she takes this into her own hands and solves it... well, probably not the best way.]
