doctor who (dk) the ninth doctor

(no subject)

[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. :|))

[Braxiatel is careful with it - in fact, he's holding it delicately, examining the make and materials as the Doctor does the string-pulling stuff]

[the Doctor appreciates that, and pulls out a rather large amount of string before wandering back to Brax] Think this ought to do it?

I think we'll need to reconsider our options if it doesn't. [he offers the jacket back to the Doctor]

[takes the jacket gratefully and puts it back on, shoving all the string at Brax :D] Thanks! Hold this, I'll be back in a mo'. [and he drops off the Plane again, returning with another tracking device]

A strong knot, if it isn't too much trouble? Something Gordian, and hopefully our little anomaly doesn't have a big sword.

It's knot any trouble at all! [that silent k is emphasized there. somehow.] Could do with another sword fight, now that you mention it.

[Braxiatel hides a smirk at the Doctor's pun] Well not just now, I think. It would get in the way of scientific discovery, and we can't have that, can we?

[grins] Is that an offer for later? [he's done tying that knot now, and drops the tracker in]

It's an open possibility.

[very quickly, the tracker is destroyed and the string snaps]

...Well, then. And you thought it would be a good idea to put your hand inside it.

Oi, it was a good idea! Figured out the temperature, didn't I? [which he could have done with. oh. a thermometer. but where's the fun in that?]

And that it wouldn't kill you. Two excellent discoveries.

What's the problem, then?

Oh, nothing. Nothing at all, Thete. Don't let sense stop you.

[fff] D'you have to call me that?

[now he's practically grinning] Do you dislike it?

[stop that, Brax :|] If I liked it, nobody would be calling me Doctor, would they?

Is that why you chose that name? [innocently] I thought that was merely pompousness.

Oi, it's not pompousness! If it was pompousness, I'd be the Master.

No, that one is for megalomania or a lesser degree of academic accomplishment, if you'll forgive the pun. 'Doctor' is quite pompous all on its own.

...Alright, maybe it is a bit. Sort of. [grins] Still, it's better than Thete.

I suppose I'll have to keep using it, then. Just to put you in your place.

[D:] Oi, don't make me call you Irving.

[mildly] Should I have a problem with the name I chose for myself?

Which d'you tell people to call you around here? Irving, or Braxiatel?

Aside from Straxus, who I think I'd be disturbed by if he ever took to calling me 'Irving,' I introduce myself with my full name and let the person I'm speaking to decide.
