21; it's snowing, it's snowing [god, i hate this weather]

[the Doctor appears, holding a yellow rose in a crystal vase. He's not entirely certain where this came from, but he's got a few ideas]

I'm not the Valentine's Day sort.

Rather unpleasant day to be celebrating, though, isn't it? Poor Valentine. Got his head chopped off for marrying lovers against his Emperor's wishes.

[sigh] And at the time, I had planned on making it a romantic trip.

[comes up behind him, shaking his head] You know, I've never thought of the day quite like that. But it seems like somebody- [but he stops short, gripping the crystal vase in his hand tightly so as not to drop it when he realises who he's talking to. someone who looks like Arthur but wears suits...] ...Doctor?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[grins madly] It's you!

[oliverplus]

[stares at him] Yeah, it's...I mean, it's you! [laughs, not really sure how to react. steps over toward him, grinning now] It is, isn't it?

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

Found yourself a secret admirer? Who is she this time? Certainly isn't some cavewoman, not with that vase.

[thinks: eh? another Valentine's Day? of all the luck...]

Ohhhh? A trip to where? Venice? Paris? New York City?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, more or less. You recognize me, then?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, my natural charms must've attracted the attention with someone...with a taste for crystal, I suppose. Wonder how they found my post.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, I was trying to go meet the man himself. Unfortunately, we ended up landing a bit wrong.

Poor Tegan. I don't think she ever forgave me.

[oliverplus]

Only because another you told me. [his expression slips--he saw that other Doctor die, and it's definitely not something he's over yet. but he forces another smile, not allowing himself to think about that right now] And I talked to Rose and Donna. Oh, and I met Arthur! He said he looks like you. You know, you really do. That's weird!

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

You got that in the post? [frowns, perhaps a little jealous, even.] I didn't find anything in mine. [not that her granddad can send her anything in the post, but still.]

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[he frowns, making a face at the man's words.] What did you do, land on him?

[actually, now that he's scrutinising the man's wardrobe, he remembers a conversation about his clothing--or rather a passing mention.] Wait a minute...I think I heard about you.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

Never plan those things, Doctor. You should know better by now.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I don't think we look much alike.

[sniffs, going for casual]

So.

I'm going to hug you now.

[River is just... distracted by the pretty yellow rose, sorry, Ten. Which is to say: leaning over a little for a proper, tilted view of it! ...Yes, this is necessary.

And strange-looking.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Really? [makes a mental note to pop back in the past and send her something]

Probably someone being...I don't know. Rude, I wouldn't be surprised. I've garnered quite a few enemies in this place.

[oliverplus]

[laughs--not if he hugs you first! it's such a relief to see you. he doesn't think Nine's ever coming back. but the Doctor is still here after all!] Great to see you, Doctor!

[forever-noble.livejournal.com]

[a shrug.]

Something tells me enemies don't send roses.

...Unless that one's poisoned. Then I'm very glad I missed boat on that one.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, it was a long while ago. Trying to impress a girl, you know how I can be.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[looks at her awkwardly, then offers up the flower for inspection]

[bytwo.livejournal.com]

[She takes it very gravely, and runs her fingers along the edges of it.]

It's shiny.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[glees and hugs back] Ooooh, it's not so bad to be seen by you, either.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You don't know my enemies so well. Some of them send wives.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

No, at his execution.

[raises an eyebrow] Well, I wouldn't be too surprised...

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not so bad.

[oliverplus]

[laughs and pulls away, still grinning widely] You haven't changed, have you?
