All the Whos down in Whoville...

[beforethewar]

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.)

[ Considering he's seen everything, he's very easy to please. Actually, he's easy to please compared to just about anyone. Probably because he's seen so much. Seen how the little things matter. ]

I like that plan.

[ He purses his lips, face scrunching up in serious thought. ]

A bowtie?

[madcuriosity]

Ah! You got it! Yes, a little purple bow tie! Would you like to see it?

[comeonthensexy]

[ Hole in one! Or something. ]

I would love to see it.

[madcuriosity]

[She wiggles, not wanting to move out of the Doctor's arms just yet. She shifts and moves all the more, before pulling forward the gift from Clara. Alice pulled out the purple bowtie and holds it up for the Doctor to see.]

[comeonthensexy]

Purple too!

[ He takes it from her and turns it over in his hands. ]

We'll match.

[ Which might just have been what she was thinking. It wouldn't surprise him. ]

[madcuriosity]

My favorite color! It only makes sense! [She giggled as she watched him hold it.]

Will you help me learn how to put them on?

[comeonthensexy]

Of course I will. We can start right now.

[madcuriosity]

Now? [She looked down at herself. It wouldn't really match her Christmas dress but...]

Well alright.

[comeonthensexy]

Well. Any particular reason to wait?

[ He drapes the bowtie over her shoulders. ]

[madcuriosity]

To have a perfect outfit for it of course. Like when I was the Mad Hatter.

[comeonthensexy]

Doesn't mean you can't start training now, does it?

[madcuriosity]

Hmmm... that is true. Alright, how do I start?

[comeonthensexy]

First, you make one end a little longer. About ... what measurements do you know? It'd be inches, yes? One and a half inches.

[madcuriosity]

I know metric, Doctor. [She knew them, but she knew metric much better. Still, she did as he said, making sure it sat correctly on her neck.]

[comeonthensexy]

Oops, sorry. That's four centimeters, then. It's hard to keep track of when you humans use your different measurements. Honestly, why can't you just settle on one?

[ He's not really asking her, of course, because it's hardly her fault. ]

Do you want me to steer your hands, or just tell you what to do and let you do it by yourself?

[madcuriosity]

If you give me directions, I shall follow. If I do something wrong, you can just fix it.

So what next?

[comeonthensexy]

Cross the long end over the short end.
