[oh look, it's a wild Straxus back on the Plane, sans gloves and that cap, and is currently wandering around aimlessly, having already taken a little stroll through the forest and is on his way to...something. he doesn't wander because he's lost but because there's so much to see and currently, he's stopped in his tracks and thinking of where to go next.

the Plane's free from Gallifrey's eyes, and most assuredly from the CIA and the High Council--he's been busy discreetly checking his sources for such a thing in the reports--and such a degree of, well, he hesitates to use the word "freedom" because really, he loves his people and his world. but it's a change and if there's something the general populace of Time Lords don't adapt well to, it's change.

of course, the downside of the lack of surveillance on the Plane is that no one will ever believe him about the Doctor surviving his fall, Omega being alive, or that the Master is for that matter (not that he's bothered to tell anybody, not even Coordinator Bulek) and boy, is he still smarting from that last encounter with that particular renegade Time Lord. still, that doesn't mean he's going to avoid the Plane because of one lunatic.

oddly enough...he rather likes the place.]

[oh dear, there's a cat in his arms now. watch him pet it very hesitantly on the head.] Ahh...and I just keep on doing this?

[ooc: You didn't see the wrong journal, nope. >.>;;;]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[grins, because stuffy Time Lord + cat is just the most adorable image ever, and he wishes he had a camera. actually, hang on while he digs his phone out of his pocket and snaps a picture. X3] Yep! Long as you like. [smirks] Think he likes you.

[ooc: No, of course not! I didn't nearly go OMG RS HAS FOUR TEN'S, WAT. MADNESS. And you did not notice any copy pasting fail.]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[continues to pet the cat, the creature nudging his hand.] "Likes" me? How can you te--what did you just do? [eyes the phone in the Doctor's hand.]

[Ah ha, nope, that was just keyword fail on my part ^^; And actually, I didn't notice...]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[that "creature" is also purring, Straxus. And the Doctor slips the phone back into his pocket for safekeeping] Oh nothing, really, just couldn't help capturing the moment. Too purrfect to resist.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[he stops petting the cat, realising just how silly he must look and hands the cat back over to the Doctor.] And why would you use a silly primitive piece of technology to do so? [he still doesn't get why, either, but one thing at a time.]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[sets the kitty down to let him wander around a bit] 'Cause it works? And it's not so primitive after a bit of jiggery-pokery.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[ah, another human term...] Yes, but for what purpose?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[rolls his eyes] Does it have to have a purpose?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Yes, then what is the point if it doesn't?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[resists the urge to facepalm] What's the point if it hasn't got a point? Your logic's a bit faulty there, don't you think?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[frowns, giving him a flat look] I'm not going to stand here and argue semantics with you, Doctor. [mutters to himself] Though I'm not sure where to go next...

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[grins - victory, it is his] Where have you been already?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Through the forest, which wasn't so bad, but I still prefer the cadenwood trees from home best, myself. I'd seen several other peculiar sights, but I didn't see them worth any time to fully investigate them.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[...and there goes the Doctor's good mood. Straxus, why did you have to bring up Gallifrey. :|] Been to the bar yet?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[but he likes Gallifrey ;_;] No, I haven't.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Care to join me for a drink or two? [or you know, several? damn Time Lord tolerance levels :|]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[rubs the back of his neck, thinking] I don't see why not. What are you going to do about your cat in the meantime?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Drop him back off in the TARDIS. Be back in a mo'. [and with that, he scoops his new companion up and steps off the Plane, before reappearing a few short moments later, looking somewhat more cheerful] Come on then, this way! [leads Straxus to the bar!]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[he's still going to have to get used to that whole disappearing/reappearing thing. but he waits and can't help wondering if the Doctor is a little too eager to have a drink when the man returns. still, he follows.]

This is...a rather odd sight, then again, everything else here seems so as well.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

You get used to it after a bit, trust me. ...Not that I've been here long myself, mind you. [and he makes himself a rather strong drink, gesturing around the place] Help yourself, this place seems to refill itself.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[has a look around, not really recognising many of the alcohols.] Somehow...I'm not surprised it does. [picks up a bottle of gin and shrugs, figuring he might as well try it.] And you don't find that suspicious?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[looks slightly amused when Straxus picks up the bottle of gin, before shaking his head] 'Course it's suspicious, but nothing in here's killed anyone yet. ...Least, not that I know of.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[arches an eyebrow] You have no idea how very reassured I am right now.

[pours himself a small glass of the gin, but is rather dubious about trying it.]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] You want me to try it first?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[frowns, almost defensively] No, I'm completely capable of trying it on my own, thank you.

[and to prove it, he has a big gulp of it--and proceeds to sputter and gag because his tongue wasn't expecting that.]
