And in Arcadia I ... ate ice cream!

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor wanders onto the Plane, clad in a floppy straw hat, sunglasses, shorts and a t-shirt that says "I WENT TO ARCADIA AND MOSTLY I GOT THIS T-SHIRT", and rather happily licking a ridiculously large ice cream cone. Some of it drips off, which is promptly cleaned up by Chesterton, also wearing a ridiculous floppy hat. Don't worry, though, the ice cream is dog-safe!

...He does appear to be mysteriously young, though, for a puppy that's been around as long as he has. It's probably something timey-wimey.]



[ooc: Experiment start!]

[laughs] Nice outfits!

[he grins as he approaches the pair. he can't quite place who Three is, but he's sure she's a friend. in any case, he bends down to pet Chesterton for the moment] Arcadia, huh? That some sort of resort?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Something like that. How have you been, Oliver?

[oliverplus]

[laughs, petting him contentedly] What do you think of that hat, huh, boy?

[glancing back at Three] I'm all right! Uh...weird question, I know, but I need a little help with your name. Sorry.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Oliver? What happened?

[oliverplus]

[Oliver, on the other hand, is being decidedly nonchalant about this, if a bit embarrassed] Amnesia. But I'm starting to remember things! Just...still having a bit of trouble with details.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Did you hit your head?

[oliverplus]

[pulls back a bit in surprise] Ah...no. Got exposed to a chemical, actually. Nobody's been able to give me a good reason why it made me lose my memory yet.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

What chemical was it?

[oliverplus]

Citroloform? Not sure you would've heard of it.

[it's the 27th century's more environmentally friendly alternative to chloroform, after all. and it's definitely only supposed to knock you out--if you have the antibodies of a typical person from the 27th century, anyway]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well. That wasn't exactly a brilliant plan, was it?

I'm the Doctor, by the way. And that's Chesterton.

[oliverplus]

[gives her a confused look] It wasn't planned! Well, not by me, at any rate.

[stares. did she just... no. that couldn't be what she said] ...you're who?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

The Doctor.

[oliverplus]

[sputters] But...you're...

[tentatively] A doctor?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

The Doctor.

[oliverplus]

But... [but as he looks at her, he knows it's true. puts a hand to his head, struggling to make sense of his hints of memroy] How are you...him?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's a long story. Hardly worth telling.

[oliverplus]

[frowns, considering that] You haven't told me before. [it's not exactly a question]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's right! At least you do remember some things.

[oliverplus]

Toldja I did! It's getting better over time. [tries to scratch Chesterton behind the ears despite the hat]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

I'm very pleased for you.

[oliverplus]

[he's a bit surprised by that hug. he laughs, but he hugs her back] You sure you're the Doctor?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?

[oliverplus]

Well, the hugging is new. [that and a few other things...]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Is it? Not really new. I think people have been doing it for millennia now.

[oliverplus]

[laughs] I'm just not sure you have!
