[Everyone missed the Doctor, right? Of course. But today is a bit different.

You see, he's talking to a plant. The plant is on a metal, rounded picnic table and he brought a tree that appears to be going through autumn and an area of grass with it from whatever planet he was on. But the important part is that he's sitting at the table with a sandwich, eating it and talking to this plant]

You know, you really are brilliant. ...No, really! I mean that. Sane, nice, loves Elvis. Also, you're not violent. You have no idea what a rarity that is these days.

[he shakes his head with a sigh and keeps munching on his sandwich and talking to the plant]

...are... you okay... sir?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[glances up from the plant] Hm? Oh, yes, quite fine. How are you?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[....] And you thought I'd run mad.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Talking to plants is hardly a sign of madness.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

......[See icon]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh! Rose! Meet Magellan.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Jumps up onto the table, purring, and rubs her face against the plant]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[glances around] I didn't know you liked plants, too.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[...O.o] Signore?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, hullo, Henrietta! What have you been up to?

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[Uh. This must be one of the ones she hasn't met. Who is crazy. Right?]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[notices her] Ah, Katara. I don't supposed there's plantbenders, are there?

ME THROWING FIRO IN TOO IS ALL YOUR FAULT. DON'T DENY IT.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Wut] Hey Doc, you hit your head or something?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Not recently, which is a bit surprising.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh my~ Desperate much~? [chuckles and skates closer, he must see this]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep. I've decided to elope with Magellan here. Ours is a forbidden love but we're willing to work past that.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Have you found a new pet, then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I named him Magellan. He's very polite for a house plant.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[Tosh wanders over, mostly because she hasn't seen grass or trees in foreeeeever; she just gives the Doctor a WTF-y look]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks up and...blinks] ...Sato? Dr. Sato, wasn't it?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Are you on Ventriculus 9, Doctor? I understand the vegetation there is semi-sentient.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

No, actually. I haven't been there in a few years. This is just a plant I saw in a shop.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... o-o]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[gives a little wave, wiggling his fingers] Hullo, Ryotarou. This is Magellan.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Stares awhile, blinks and smiles] Garet's sister was always really good with plants.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks curious] Hullo. Is that right? Did they ever talk back to her?

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

[O_O]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[catches her staring] This is...less awkward than it seems.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...are you talking to that plant?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

As a matter of fact, I am.

[madamemoiselle]

{Looking at the plant curiously} Ne, Doctor, does it talk back?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Probably not, no. Although it could be talking back right now.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

((so much win XD;))

[Crowley saunters over, grinning]

Doing a bit of gardening?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd try a hand in it. I think it's working. Or I'm just looking mad talking to a plant.

[contract_star]

...Does it talk back?

[Some of the flowers in the Gate talked. Or at least he thinks they did.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure, actually. I don't think it does.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Trying to help it grow?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. I think it's working. Or it could be all the plant food.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Forgive me.

[somehow, the Master manages to make it sound a lot less like an apology and a lot more like a demand...]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks up, blinking. He's 99.9% certain it is in fact a demand]

...I already did, though.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

... Practicing for a date?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[you get him stare]

Well! I've had a few plants that quite liked me but we're generally just friends.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Find yourself a new friend?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep! I found it. I call him Magellan.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Jolyne looks at the Doctor. And then at the plant. And then back at the Doctor.]

Yare yare... I hope you're not expecting it to talk back.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] Nah, I gave up on that when I said 'hullo' and didn't hear anything back. Though it could just be a shy plant.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Is it that slow of a day?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, more like I've been sitting around the TARDIS too long and when I went out, I found this. I'm going to put him in the garden and see how he does.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[the Master approaches; and he's still in a dour mood]

Having a lively discussion, my dear Doctor?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, not entirely. It's sadly one-sided.
