{ 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?

[cruelyethuman]

I was wondering about this fascination with earth and its quaint holidays.

[The tone of his voice slips from annoyed in to something softer, the edge of disbelief dulled by a smile.]

[morethan084]

…Right.

So you will be there?

[Because Daisy is asking him to go with her, without outright asking her.]

[cruelyethuman]

Are you going to be there?

[morethan084]

Yup.

[bossily]

👀 👀 👀

[morethan084]

[Oh no.]

What?

[Time to play dumb.]

[bossily]

I'll make sure he's in attendance. That's all.

[morethan084]

Pretty sure he’ll show up.

He likes to act like he doesn’t enjoy parties and yet…

[Daisy is well aware he can hear this conversation.]

[bossily]

All drama queens love parties. Don't let him lie to you.

[morethan084]

Oh, so you know him?

[😌]

[bossily]

You don't have to run into him more than once to realize exactly what sort of man he is.

[She's just teasing, ok. She thinks he's great.]

[morethan084]

[Daisy laughs at that.]

No, you really don’t.

[cruelyethuman]

And what sort of man is that?

[bossily]

A charming and dashing man that needs to learn how to have a bit of fun, obviously.

[cruelyethuman]

Obviously.

[cruelyethuman]

I might not have anything terribly important to see to at that time, then.

[morethan084]

Good.

[Daisy’s smile is evident in her voice.]

I’d like to see you there.

[cruelyethuman]

You can see me any time you'd like.

[morethan084]

Really?

[Daisy leans back, acting casual. As if her heart isn’t suddenly racing from excitement.]

So if I wanted to see you later tonight, you’d be cool with that?

[cruelyethuman]

I might be at regular temperature. I hope that doesn't somehow discourage you from meeting me somewhere.

[morethan084]

[Oh boy.]

No. Cool as in--

[She's got a lot to teach him.]

You're fine with it.

[cruelyethuman]

Of course I am.

[morethan084]

Good.

I will see you later then.
