{ 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?

[ ooc note: threadhopping is a go!

As long as there's food and drinks and everyone's really enjoying themselves, and it's not at the cost of others... then it's perfect!

[ today on: "at the cost of others" meaning "back home they bring all the food to onigashima and leave none for the actual citizens"... so anything that's not that is infinitely better. ]

I look forward to it! Is this a tradition you do every year? If you're one of those... Earth humans?

I'm one of those Earth humans, yeah. Or I used to be, a long time ago.

[She shrugs, because that isn't the important detail here.]

Do celebrations typically come at the cost of others where you're from?

[personal profile] hannyas 2021-12-23 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, so you were an Earth human and then you... turned into something else than a human?

[ yes, that is how yamato is interpreting that. sorry. and they're all too happy to focus on that, waving off the question about the celebrations in their home with a quick, ]

No, I don't think they do, on other islands. Just mine.

[Her interpretation makes Clara laugh.]

No, I'll always be human. I just don't think of Earth as home anymore.

[personal profile] hannyas 2021-12-28 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Where did you go? What's your new home, now?

[ asked as if they don't really think it's much of a feat — or more like don't know to think it is. sure, no one leaves their world like that, to go world-hopping like they are right now... but it might not be like that for earth? ]

The stars are my home, I guess. With the Doctor. Wherever he is, that's my home.

[Which stands to reason that this is her home, at least for the time being. She's so used to planet hopping that she doesn't think much on how casually they're discussing this. She is, however, incredibly grateful to meet someone who seems to enjoy talking about this kind of thing. For some people it's too overwhelming of a subject to talk on for long.]

... that's beautiful, [ comes yamato's answer, their eyes tearing up slightly at that wonderful sentiment. ]

To have a home with a person rather than a place... how wonderful!

[Clara just smiles warmly, cheeks turning a bit pink.]

It's about as close to a happy ending as someone like me deserves.

[She could say more on the matter, could leave herself open to further discussion. But something about admitting that makes her feel vulnerable. And that loss of control causes her to panic, and she abruptly ends the conversation there. She doesn't want to say anything else that might embarrass her later.]
