doctor who (d3) the tenth doctor

(no subject)

[you all remember that chunk of beach the Doctor dragged up to the astral plane, don't you? Of course you do! Well, he's standing at it. In the snow. Yes, there's snow. The water is still lapping up on the shore but the sandy beach is mixed with snow. Most of the snow is gathered around the palm trees. The trees themselves have multi-coloured orbs of light floating gently around them.

The Doctor, for the record, is in his blue suit with the long brown coat on and there's a set of wrapped Christmas-looking presents at his feet. He's humming lightly, hands shoved into his pockets, looking around occasionally as if waiting for someone]

[pulls them closer and begins unwrapping them carefully and neatly, pulling out the gown with a quiet, startled whisper, burying her fingers in the fabric and drawing it close] ...it's beautiful, Doctor. [looks at it again, then back to him] Shall I try it on, then?

[smiles warmly] I'd like it if you did.

[smiles and nods, pulling the gown on easily, along with the jewellery, though she doesn't know what to do with the perfume and simply stares at the bottle]

[gently] It looks wonderful on you. Now! The perfume is a bit...pointless, maybe but I thought you could filter it through your air vents.

[actually blushes a little, ducking her head and smoothing out the fabric, but nods, tucking the perfume away for later] I shall try that, then. Would you like your gifts, then? [because yes, she brought two. a snowglobe in the shape of Gallifrey, with the Citadel in the centre and the Mountains of Solace and Solitude and all the beautiful landmarks carved in intense detail. she also brought a small holographic projector made of spare parts she found lying about her interior, with images of all his companions, including Rose, Jack and Martha, that wave and smile and greet him whenever he looks at them]

[he unwraps them carefully and for a moment - several moments - he's speechless. He stares and handles them so delicately, turning the snowglobe and flipping it back up again to watch the snow fall on Gallifrey. Setting it down, he takes the image projector and watches companions he hasn't seen in so long, some he may not see again, smiling at him. The Doctor makes a small noise and looks down for just a second, blinking rapidly before looking back up again.] I... [can't find any words, so he says] Merry Christmas.

[watches him carefully, startled by his reaction, and leans in, head tilted to the side and looking up at him uncertainly] Are you well? I did not mean to upset you! But I felt it only right to get you a gift, as well, and Rose Tyler said you would like gifts such as these. I had to make the hologram from what scrap I could find lying about, so it isn't very good, but I did not think it would upset you. Forgive me.

[startled by her startledness!] What? No no no no no! I love it! I do! It's...it's... [waves his hands for a moment, then pulls her into a tight hug] Thank you. Really! I...I didn't expect this.

[is startled again by the hug! though eventually she hugs back] Do you not receive gifts, then?

[holds her close for another moment before pulling back to look at her] No, it's not that. Well, no. It's partly that, yes. But mostly, just... It's the meaning. These mean a lot to me. [a bit amused] How on Earth did you get pictures of Jack and Martha?

[smirks] From myself, Doctor. We have met, or don't you remember? [crouches down to pick up some snow, having fun playing with it in her new dress, though she tosses some at him playfully] I'm glad I was able to give you something worthwhile, then. It was ... nice ... to partake of this holiday.

Ahh, she was in on it! I'll thank her, too, when I get home. [smiles at her, gathering up snow as he does] You're quite worthwhile just as you are. It was a nice Christmas, yeah? [and now he has a loose snowball] 'Course, best part of Christmas snow is playing with it. [and drops it on her head]

[starts, flailing a little in surprise and falling on her bottom, then tosses some snow up at his face] Doctor! What was that for?

[grins, laughing as he dips down and tosses up more snow at her] This, old girl, is how you play in the snow!

[laughs as well, scrambling away so she can grab some more to toss at him, dress slowly getting soaked through and she doesn't even care] Aren't you a bit old to be playing like this, Doctor?

[snorts and really he looks quite young right now] Old? You're never too old to play in the snow. [is taking particular pleasure in getting tons of snow in her hair]

Is that so? [yes, well, have snow down your shirt, then, Doctor]

[bursts out laughing and ha, snow down your dress, TARDIS. revenge!] I say so, yeah.

[flails and hops around a bit, trying to shake it out, before grabbing more snow and shoving it down the back of his suit where he can't reach it easy] Yes, well, you're still too slow, then~

[jumped a bit but Time Lord, yo. Godmod skills against cold!] I think you're the easier target, here. [just starts shoving tons of snow at her]

[is about now covered in white, though small tendrils of steam rise from around her as her body begins heating to fight the cold, and decides to try a different approach, trying to tackle the Doctor so she can hold him down and pile snow on top of him, instead]

[is taken by surprise and actually falls over into the snow with a snort, coughing from the snow and laughing] You're getting good at this.

[just grins, plopping down on his stomach and beginning to pack snow in around him] Of course I am. I'm good at everything I do, or didn't you know?

[Hi, Kisha! I'm ... lazing about before going to work /o/]

[just letting her because it's her Christmas and she looks happy] Well, you'd have to be very good to be my TARDIS.

[continues making him into a snow mound, because I dunno, it's fun or something. she's weird] I should think it's the other way around and you must be brilliant to be my Doctor.

[Progress! \o\ Excellent news! I've been fending off my cat, personally.]
