{ video } | Yule be Home for Christmas - w/ #TeamTARDIS

[attackbrows]

[ The brain video feed turns on, revealing a very charming and handsome young man sitting in front of the camera wearing a pair of sunglasses. Where’d he get those glasses from? Ray-Ban could never!

It looks like he’s sitting in one of the residential rooms that appear to be somewhat polished, save for the packaged meat sitting behind one bed. ]

Well? Come on, then! And maybe don’t look so cross, you know, show them a little holiday spirit! Should we get you the hat? We should get you the hat —

Shut it! I know what I’m doing.

[ An exasperated sigh can be heard to the side that sounds eerily Clara-esque. ]

And what’s all that about?! Why am I the one delivering this? Just get flappy bird to do it! Why can’t we send them an e-mail? Or one of those carrier pigeons?

What pigeons, Doctor?

Hold on a tick — did we get pigeons in our item drop? That’d be brilliant, eh? We’d hardly need these communications devices, oh! Oh, I could show Alina —

No! Now, stop it! You’re distracting yourself.

[ In a few moments, the Doctor (the cute one) is looking off to the side with his eyes slightly squinted. ]

Read. The… Yes! Yes! I know!

[ The Doctor (the incredibly smooth and sexy one) starts sifting through a short stack of index cards in his hands. ]

Hello. This is the Doctor. You know? The incredibly tall and sauve one. Not the old, crinkly man who is currently reading this messa--

[ His eyes immediately shoot up to show his predecessor the meanest of mugs.

There’s an audible “Ow!” heard offscreen, followed by Clara reaching over to grab that first card. You can clearly see the internal struggle the Doctor (the one who is serving Einstein meets Beethoven realness) is going through. Like a child being tasked to wash the dishes or having to kiss their granny. ]

These past few months have been incredibly difficult and tiresome, but I assure you all are doing a brilliant job. This is the part where you give them a thumbs up and a smile.

[ ...Skipping that part. ]

Given that we’ve spent over 500-some odd hours together on this station, me, Clara and the old bat who looks like a grey dusty tumbleweed reading this messa—

[ Tossing that away! ]

—Would like to invite you all to celebrate Christmas with us. For all of my non-Earth friends, it is a special holiday most humans like to spend together. There will be plenty of food and fizzy drinks to go around. There will also be tree-mendous decorations. Stop for laughter. [ … ] I snow hope you will all able to join us.

I love you all from my head to my mistletoe.

[ After all that is read, the Doctor promptly reaches for a brick and clutches it against his chest and lets out a sigh of relief. From somewhere off-camera, there’s a series of claps, maybe applause? Maybe a fly somehow made it onto the station? (No it’s definitely applause, joined with a ‘See that wasn’t so hard now, was it?’) ]

Doctor!

Can I have my crisps now?

[Interesting.]

Sure, but she seems to really want you to go.

[kovach]

I'm the anti-social jerk that peppy team-building girls like her like to lure in to group events like a challenge. I'm just a potential dash on the score board.

[ mind your nose, daisy. ]

I'm sure the same thing'll happen to someone like — oh, I don't know — Kirigan? But then again, I'm sure you got that invitation handled on your end, right?

[ :) ]

[morethan084]

[As much as she enjoys to tease him, she doesn't like that he really thinks so little of himself.]

Or maybe she just really likes you.

[Damn. She only has herself to blame for that one.

Daisy blanches when he mentions Kirigan.]

I--

[Daisy laughs, as if what he just said was so ridiculous.]

No idea what you're talking about.

[kovach]

[ don't use those words here. he's not even acknowledging it. ]

Uh huh. Right.

[ you do you, girl 🚬 ]

[morethan084]

[Just gonna clear her throat.]

You should go. It'll be nice to just have a night where we can just relax.

[kovach]

I'll think about it.

[ that's all he's giving. ]

[morethan084]

[Good enough for her. Daisy smiles at him as if he didn't just call her out on her bullshit.]

Good.

Since I have you here. What do you want for Christmas?

[kovach]

No, we're not doing that.

[ why is everyone wanting to give him presents suddenly? ]

[morethan084]

What? You don't like presents either?

[Because he's actually really sweet. Whether he admits it to himself or not is his own problem.]

[kovach]

I don't actually do this holiday thing.

[ or any holiday thing, really. when was the last time he celebrated a birthday? ]

So, presents — [ he shakes his head. ] Never really carry much on me.

[morethan084]

Well they do to me. Giving presents, anyway.

So if you don't give me some ideas you might end up with some cheap cologne you don't even like.

[kovach]

[ ew. come on now. ]

How about you just get me a drink?

[morethan084]

That's the spirit.

[Got 'em.]

Whats your favorite kind?

[Because she'll get him a bottle. Or ten.]

[kovach]

[ that gains you points, daisy. ]

Always whiskey. We can share a glass or two.

[morethan084]

[Cool. She'll just put that on the scoreboard....]

I'd like that.

Voice. un: Kirigan

[cruelyethuman]

I assure you, this does not happen to me.

[Just a small 'I see you']

[kovach]

[ sorry he dragged you through the mud to dodge some bullets. ]

Just try rejecting the invitation. You'll get dragged anyway.

[cruelyethuman]

[Non-pology seen.]

I have big feet, I'm sure I can stand my ground.

[kovach]

[ what's that supposed to suggest about his feet? ]

You're really underestimating the tiny women on this station.

[cruelyethuman]

[Big feet, big... shoes]

Right now, the only one trying to convince me of anything, is you. Would you like me to go to this strange party with you, Kovacs?

[kovach]

[ he'll show you his big shoes sometime. ]

I'd love it, but I'd like to stay on Daisy's good side.

[cruelyethuman]

She must have left quite an impression on you. Suit yourself, Kovacs, maybe I'll see you there, then.
