All the Whos down in Whoville...

Who: All the Whoniverse folks, and their plus ones
What: Eight is a bit Christmas crazy, and is inflicting it on his "family".
When: Day 378
Where: Thor 104 (Who House 2)
Rating: PG

A week before, everyone in the Doctors' makeshift "family" is sent a simple message:

Come to Thor 104 in one week's time for a Christmas get-together.
Bring a friend if you like.
No, this is not optional. Don't make me come get you.


When they arrive, they're greeted by a festively decorated house, twinkling lights and all, still covered in snow from the day before. The door is, as usual, unlocked so that everyone can filter in as they please. Once inside, the house is full of the sights, sounds, and scents of a huge family holiday gathering. A fire in the fireplace makes the house warm and cozy, and a decorated tree holds pride of place.

Grab a glass of cider or mulled wine, wander the house, find a conversation to jump into, or get some fresh air in the back garden.

But beware, Eight has been quite liberal with his use of mistletoe. Chances are you'll find yourself under some at some point in the night.

(ooc: Prose or action bracket thingies, whichever is fine.)

I got lots of presents! [And here she will shift slightly to pick up her doctor teddy from Eight, holding it up for him to see.] This is what the Doctor got me! Because I'm in Sigyn and can heal.

[And Irving knows his role in this. Increase the factor of your enthusiasm by at least five.] Oh, how apt indeed!

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-30 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh. And I got some drawing things too. A lot of things...

[Because from the look of the tree and small pile of presents around her it seems quite a few are determined to ensure Clementine has a festive day, making up for her situation back home and in recognizing her bond with Eight.]

What about you? Did you get some presents too?
becauseichooseto: Miles Richardson (as a proctologist) with a balloon animal on his head. For reasons. (Dignity what is this?)

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-30 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Quite the haul.

Oh, indeed, yes. I got gloves, a scarf, a hat and a… mechanical llama for reasons best not delved into, most likely. [Irving does not know what to make of the Doctor associating him with llamas.]

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-30 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
It is. I'm pretty lucky this year.

A llama? [She tilts her head a little in question, unsure on that in comparison to the other more practical gifts. But it could be a joke? Something like that. She knows the Doctor, or some at least, definitely have a sense of humor.]
becauseichooseto: Miles Richardson as Rankov sees his prisoner is awake. (surprise)

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-30 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mysterious ways! [Don't look at him, Clem.]

Maybe someone thought it would be funny? I'm not sure I get it though.
becauseichooseto: Leaning against the wall (chilled)

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-30 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm almost positive he doesn't get it, so I shouldn't concern yourself.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-30 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why would he give that to you? That doesn't make sense.
becauseichooseto: Leaning against the wall (chilled)

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-30 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think… we might be starting to talk in circles.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-31 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Okay, maybe we should just ask him about it later then. [She shrugs, still curious and confused but figuring there are more important things to worry about, among all the presents and other guests around.]

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-31 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He pats her on the shoulder.] Take heart in the fact that we'll not be the first nor the last to be utterly confused by him.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-31 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not. He probably confuses a lot of people, at least at first, huh?

[What with the whole regeneration thing, there being so many with different faces around Asgard and all.]
becauseichooseto: Leaning against the wall (small smile)

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2013-12-31 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
At first, he is a shock, as you get to know him, he is confusing, when you do know him, he's merely frustrating. [He is smiling though. A little.]

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2013-12-31 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He hasn't been frustrating for me. But I know I haven't talked to some of the Doctors as much. But I guess I haven't known him as long as some others to really say or judge.

[personal profile] becauseichooseto 2014-01-01 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He goes easier on the young ones. [He smiles.] I wouldn't worry about it. It's never a terrible feeling.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2014-01-01 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You think that's it, why I haven't been frustrated? Maybe. I know he's really nice to Alice and me. [She shrugs again, evidently not too worried about it but more curious and amused at his strange present.]

I think it's very likely. It's how he's always been.
