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

[ 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?

Grinch. Mister Snow Miser. Anti-Christmas and fun.

C'mon, you'll enjoy yourself.

I am not anti-fun or anti-Christmas in principle but I'm starting to think I should be.

What makes it enjoyable?

Well.

[ Smartass comments come to mind, because that's who he is, but instead what comes out-- ]

It's about family, I think. When I was a kid, we'd...spend half the night waiting for our Dad to show up, and he almost never did. So I'd do what I could to make it fun. Tell him stories, make him his favorite pasta - macaroni. It's all we had sometimes, so I had to get creative. Put marshmallows in it once, it was disgusting, but he loved it. Thought it was exotic.

I never had much of a Christmas, but I tried to make sure he did. Guess I'm trying to make up for lost time or something, but I dunno. Maybe my 'cheer' is a little over the top.

[ A number of these words don't mean a thing to Megatron. Marshmallow. Pasta. Macaroni. But on the other hand, the clear emotion this seems to evoke in Nightmoves is obvious. ]

I see.

[ He thinks about his life with the other miners, the way they would do their best to keep each other's spirits up even when things were hard, chipping in on a bottle of engex for special occasions. The laughter and company of those you called friends or family. ]

I think I understand. Thank you, Nightmoves.

...Yeah, course. Anytime.

[ It's frightfully easy to spill his guts to Megatron -- maybe because he'd seen Dean's hell loop, stood up for him when no one else could, snarled at a demon that still secretly terrifies Dean to this day. ]

Always happy to chat, Megs.
