18; Just think of the happiest thing...

[The Doctor is a naturally curious individual.]

[and, well, if you're not aware, the new ring he's found gives him a few, minor powers.]

[one of which is flight.]

[which is awesome.]

[when he can control it. Now is not one of those times.]

[Cue a falling Time Lord, to crash into the nearest bush.]

Ow.

[at least it broke his fall.]

I can't see your wings.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[struggles to get up, wincing] Yep. I---ow. [pulls a branch from his sleeve] Haven't got any. Well, not that I can see, anyway.

It's this ring. Causes levitation capabilities.

[Have a Cally headpoke] Gosh, are you alright? How did you learn to fly then?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

[Drusilla glides over. Not because she's particularly concerned about the Doctor, but because the bush he crashed into is looking a little disheveled. She picks up a broken branch, running it under her nose as if it was an incense stick.]

I think I'd like to fly. Aren't you scared of falling?

[The Master just used his ring to make a classic Acme-style anvil appear hovering over the Doctor's head]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's this ring. Don't know how or why. [takes it off to show to her] Probably positrionic psychic intervening subcommands. Complicated stuff to leave lying about.

[sniff] And...I'm a little more scared of falling as of about thirty seconds ago.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm all right. Just bruised my ego a bit.

I didn't! It just happened!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[!!!]

[the Doctor jumps out of the bush into another bush, in order to avoid the anvil!]

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

[Drusilla holds out her hand, allowing the Doctor to see her own ring.] It feels like magic.

But you didn't break this time.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

A bit like magic, yeah. But you know Clarke's Law.

[looks at her ring curiously] Interesting. It's different than mine, but still not something you'd see at your everyday trinket shop.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[screwdriver to set it on fire!]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

Oh, that doesn't hurt then does it? I mean, I suppose it hurts on a purely mental level but you can recover from that if you get happy enough; failure isn't a bad thing after all.

Really? D'you think I could manage it?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta, being a very nice friend, will be applauding now]

Impressive! ...Are you alright though? If you've broken something it's a lot less impressive.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[pulls out own screwdriver to try to vibrate the Master's out of his hand!]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[gets to his feet and, noticing his audience, takes a bow like that was all part of the plan]

No, I think I've managed to bruise a few things. I'll be fine.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[She smirks at him but doesn't comment; she isn't completely evil after all!]

Yeah, bruises heal easy and they don't hurt that much- how did you do it then?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I aimed for the bush here.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Nah; not that- the flying part; I didn't know that you could do that.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's this. This ring. Not very powerful, though. Just a little levitation.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I don't know! Did you find one of these rings?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ And here is Roxas, who is also flying around with his (to say nothing of the black band)! Well, floating at the moment, since he's checking out that nosedive. Nice one, Doctor. ]

You gotta work on your landings.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Just a bit. It was better than the last time, though. [struggles to get back to his feet, though he's pretty excited about his progress]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs a bit, and gets closer so he can offer the Doctor a hand up. ] Last time?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[takes the hand, gratefully] Yeah, the last time I flew up. Wasn't a bush that time. [looks at the other ring] Green. Different symbol, too. I wonder if they're different for everyone.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

How far did you get? [ Helps him stand, then lets go. ] Uh, not as far as I can tell. A friend of mine has green, too, and another friend and another Doctor are both purple.
