[The Doctor is not, surprisingly, brooding in the bar. In fact, he's not even brooding! He actually appears to be genuinely happy, in a "beaming away like Father Christmas" sort of way...and he's humming. A bit off-key, yes, but it's distinctly "Luck Be A Lady."

There are a few bits of TARDIS machinery piled up nearby -- the Doctor is actually taking Omega's advice, and repairing them. Of course, he's doing all this in the middle of the library, utterly oblivious to the fact that he might be disturbing someone's peace and quiet.]



((ooc: Nine has been bumped to a bit after the end of the Doctor Dances, fyi! Slow tags may be slow 'cause of work, but. :|))

[Here's curious teenager who has been poking through the library] What are you doing?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[have a grin, curious teenager] What d'you think I'm doing? [it's only a little bit sarcastic -- he really just wants to see if Shion can guess]

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Looks at the bits of machinery. He hasn't seen anything like them before. But they are cluttering up the library so..] ..Making a mess.

[Have another curious teenager, Nine! This one is mildly infected by your beaming, because she's grinning back at him, in a slightly uncertain sort of way.

MAYBE RIVER IS LADY LUCK?]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[alas, that title belongs to one Captain Jack Harkness -- never mind that he's not really a "lady." Details, details. Nine waves, though.] River! How've you been?

[bytwo.livejournal.com]

There's shiny.

[SHE CAN TELL. Admittedly, so could anyone.]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She's not a curious teenager, alas. She's in one of the aisles looking for a book, but when she hears his humming, she starts to sing along! She's proud that she knows the song, okay?}

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Nine appreciates her taste in show tunes, and chuckles a bit when he finishes the song] Fantastic! Didn't know you could sing, but now the name makes sense.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She trots out to meet him, holding a little pile of books}

You really didn't? I feel like people have been saying that to me too often lately! Singing is what I love most. It's the only thing I can do really well, I think.

[Barbara is rather cheerfully perusing the stacks, absently organising things – once a librarian, always a librarian – when she hears the humming

she follows the sound to the Doctor's impromptu work shop, and the sight prompts a surprised smile]

I hope you tune your hardware better than you tune your voice.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[sulks] 'Course I do, but my voice doesn't need tuning, thanks!

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

That sounds good to aliens, then?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Well this is a surprise. You're actually smiling! [a short beat] Just what are you humming, Doctor? [his Earth music knowledge is, well, low. he's only gotten up to the romantic period as far as classical music is concerned. and that? doesn't sound like anything he knows]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Suppose I am, yep! And remind me to take you to see a few West End musicals when you drop by; you've got to brush up on your show tunes.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[arches an eyebrow] "Show tunes"? What's the difference between a musical on the west end as opposed to the east?

[collector]

[Braxiatel has a pile of - guess - rare books that he has found, and he looks around a corner, eyebrows lifted in a perfect expression of Mild Disapproval]

I realize that it isn't consistent across the universe, but libraries are generally places of peace and, most importantly, quiet.

WHAT IS THIS it is past your bedtime, missy. not that I am complaining ;D

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[the Mild Disapproval is cheerfully ignored. he answers in a stage whisper] Maybe you ought to shut up a bit then!

Late tag okay?

[oliverplus]

[comes up curiously behind him. while hearing the Doctor whistling isn't so odd on the whole, hearing this Doctor whistling is] Having a good day?

No worries!

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[beams] I am, yes, thanks for asking! You?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[Remus is happily perusing the shelves when he hears the humming and creaking, and follows the sound bemusedly until he comes upon the Doctor

seeing him so cheerful brings a grin to his face]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Nine is absorbed in his work, but he glances up eventually! his returns the grin easily, gesturing for Remus to sit nearby] Hello, Remus! How've you been?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[frowny-frown at her interior parts strewn about :|]

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor is not even commenting on that frowny-frown, because he is too busy clinging to hugging her :|]

[elegantthestars.livejournal.com]

[amuuuuused] You certainly seem productive.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[beams] I am, yes! How've you been, Inara?
