[currently, the Doctor is crawling on the floor in the entrance of the ballroom, occasionally stopping to look and feel under the couches for something. he doesn't show it, but he's been rather shaken up--and he certainly is not happy]

Come on out! I know you're here somewhere. You've got to be! I felt you before you--[he pauses, his hand suddenly darting under a plush chair]--did whatever you did a few moments ago.


[ooc: The Doctor had to make a choice! When you tag in, I'll leave you a little message in his reply back so you know what's up~]

Comments

[oliverplus]

[uncertainly, he steps up behind the Doctor--but not too close] Doctor? Is...that you?

[bit_impossible]

[sits up suddenly, banging his head on the underside of a nearby table] Ow! [sits up properly this time, rubbing his head] Of course it's me. Who else would it be?

[oliverplus]

[he hasn't even actually decided what he means to say yet when he finds himself blurting out:] Some sorta storm.

[bit_impossible]

[arches an eyebrow] What are you on about? A storm? Are you feeling all right? I mean...besides the obvious distress of being trapped on the Plane with those creatures out there wandering about.

[oliverplus]

I see a storm.

No. [so he says, but he looks quite shocked at himself after the word comes out of his mouth]

[bit_impossible]

[stands up, heading towards him] It's just me. Not a storm or anything. [even if he is still a bit angry at the hand that had grabbed him]

[but Oliver's admittance makes him stop and blink] Wait, that's it? No dodging the question and asking how I am, or anything? You must not be feeling well...

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

[Tear has decided to speak to everyone who comments out now, especially if their circumstances seem odd... and this certainly qualifies.]

Do you mean the sounds?

[oliverplus]

[tenses, eyeing the oncoming approaching storm. that's just weird. but he pauses at the question, afraid to open his mouth] I...I do want to know how you are. But that's not what I said. I don't know why. [looks a bit helpless. this is really weird]

[bit_impossible]

No, you answered me point-blank. About your health. [frowns severely] You never do that.

[oliverplus]

I don't like to.

[something really weird is going on, but he's afraid to even make a comment about it because it seems like something totally different might come out of his mouth instead. that scares him. a lot]

...how are you?

[bit_impossible]

[he doesn't glance up as he's feeling around under a chair again] Actually no, I--[he stops and gets up suddenly, heading right over to her]

You haven't seen anything like...[he trails off, his left hand gripping his right just above the wrist, wriggling his fingers]...like a disembodied hand crawling around, have you?

[bit_impossible]

What, talk about your health or give a straight answer?

[but his shoulders sag a bit; he doesn't mean to be so hard on him] I'm fine, Ollie. Well, as well as I can be after being sent back to the entrance of this building just like that. [snaps his fingers]

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

I believe Colonel Curtiss was dissecting one earlier... but I haven't seen one myself.

[oliverplus]

Talk about my health. Depends what it's an answer about. [blinks; he didn't mean to say that either. he's starting to think he should stick to questions for now]

You mean getting brought to the Plane all of a sudden?

[polarization]

[ Sefton's yet to venture into anywhere that isn't the kitchen or library yet, so when he comes in and sees some guy yelling at the dust bunnies, he tries edging around him instead.

... of course, that's exactly the moment he trips and falls, just short of smacking his face on the tile floor. ] Ah—tch...

[bit_impossible]

I have a feeling if you stay around here long enough, you just might. [he makes a slight face then glances around the room, trying to see if he can see any of those hands crawling about]

You know, I don't think I've met this Colonel Curtiss. Who is he, exactly?

[youidiots.livejournal.com]

Would you... like some assistance?

[Before she can decide how much information she feels like relaying, she finds herself speaking out...]

He is Colonel Jade Curtiss of the Malkuth Imperial Forces. He helped to rescue my ward and myself from a very powerful monster in the woods.

[Guess who decided to wander over after hearing the commotion (and also waking up)? That's right, the Doctor's favorite person ever. He leans over the back of one of the couches to watch him. It is very tempting to zap him while he isn't paying any attention. Instead he suddenly drops down onto his stomach to look under at him.]

Boo!

[bit_impossible]

[he rolls over when he hears that, thinking it might be something else--but no, it's a young man. still, he jumps to his feet and heads right over] You all right? Looks like you took quite the spill there.

[ Sefton quickly pulls himself back up, standing, although he seems a bit unsteady in doing so. ] Yeah, I mean, no, but—y-yeah. I mean, it didn't hurt.

[ ... then he looks vaguely confused because wtf was that? ]

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

[Benny goes over to the plush chair the Doctor is searching under, leaning over the back of it so she can greet him if he looks up]

[bit_impossible]

[zapping him after he shared that popcorn?? the Doctor would have been quite indignant! (and in pain, but no matter...) he actually does jump back, letting out a yelp in surprise before he scowls]

Ohh, very funny. I'm surprised you're not in the kitchen--or are still trying to avoid that one person, what was her name again?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon is rather unnerved himself, and he's not nearly as good at hiding it] Doctor? Who are you looking for?

[bit_impossible]

[thinks about that for a moment] Sure, I could do with another pair of eyes! Just make sure it doesn't grab you.

Is that right? Never heard of the Malkuth anything. [gives her a once-over] But you know, you look awfully young to have a ward.

[best-served-hot.livejournal.com]

[He could have tried to knock the couch over on him instead. But neither thing occurred, so he just gives a wide grin and laughs. He stands again and hops over the back of the couch to land on the cushions.]

I was looking around in there earlier. I'm not sure I should be eating anything in there right now, considering the macabre state of things at the moment. [His lips curl in distaste at the last mention.] Lucy and no, I think her adventures in cooking have taken a sabbatical for the time being.
