[beforethewar]

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.)

"Nothing that tops him now," he shot back, a smirk of his own on his. "He was terribly... earnest when he was younger. And we all have our moments of pratfalls and misadventures. But nothing stands out as particularly humiliating, no."

"Pity," Turlough responded, with a sigh. "And here I was hoping for some blackmail material."

[becauseichooseto]

"Ah, that requires shame, I'm afraid."

[failassassin]

"Which the Doctor seemingly has none of."

[becauseichooseto]

"A lesson for us all, perhaps," he replied, sounding as if he'd rather not learn that lesson. At least, not as well as the Doctor.

Turlough sighed, shaking his head slightly. "It can be a bit embarrassing at times. Personally, I think he gets worse with age." Or, at least, it's pretty jarring comparing the Eleventh Doctor to some of the younger Doctors.

"I suppose one stops caring about embarrassment as one ages," he mused. "Well, some of us do."

[failassassin]

"And some of us stop caring more than others. It's one thing not to be embarrassed by simple mistakes, but the Doctor's something else entirely."

"He gets the job done," Irving said with a shrug. "And in the end, so long as he's not hurting anyone, I don't have that much difficulty with him."
