[Video] three time travelers walk into a dream

[battleborndr]

[OOC: Green is Jenny, purple is Donna, blue is the Doctor.]



[The communicator switches back and forth between audio and video settings, catching snippets of (mostly) loud female voices and images of a mildly perplexed man, before settling in on the Video function. It fixates on a moogle looking highly annoyed at the communicator’s owner. He looks highly annoyed back, but properly chastised, and oh, damn, now he has no distraction from the two women.]

You should have left it be for now, dad. You could have always looked into it further later. [You can tell that she has a more matter-of-fact attitude about whatever had just happened.]

Oi! I told you he’d be mad if you tried to mess with it! [You can hear the eyeroll in her voice.]

I don’t see what the big deal is… [He looks so put out.] I’d put it back together. ...Probably.

How would you feel if someone just showed up and started taking your things apart?

I don’t even have “things” to take apart. And anyway, it shows an impeccable appreciation for good craftsmanship! [Yeah. Totally.]

Whatever you say, Spac-- [She cuts herself off there.]

[Go on, say it. He dares you. He just stares at her a moment, then looks away. His Hebby Repp messes up his cool demeanor though, by thinking it’s a good time to leave the sanctity of his shoulders and scurry up Jenny. It’s totally cool. Right? Right.]

Oi! Would you two stop it and hurry up already! I’m gonna end up leaving you both behind! [Yes, she was a tad eager to explore further. She didn’t even sound deterred by other two or for that matter, the Hebby Repp ditching her father, and yes, she was still considering him her father.]

Just hold on a second! [Her Pricklemane is bouncing around her feet in circles, apparently wanting to get going too. She looks back at the Doctor.] Careful, I’ll come up with a worse nickname. [Like GrumpyBritches, or something.]

[He cringes. He doesn’t doubt it.] Right. Let’s not keep her waiting, shall we? [Someone probably should have reminded him about the communicator, but the only one that probably would is the moogle, who still just glares. So the thing stays on.]

[OOC: You get a lottery: Donna, Jenny,  or The Doctor or all three may respond to you! Feeling Lucky, punk?]

As delightful as this hath been, I feel that you ought to know that this communicator is currently broadcasting your conversation for all to hear.

[video]/[audio]

[battleborndr]

[There's a bit of silence as he takes to process 1) a new voice 2) oh hell, the thing is still on, isn't it?]

...Oh.

[He makes a face of annoyance before fiddling with it and setting it to audio.]

I'd forgotten about it. Bit distracted. [Reunions, glaring moogles, all that.] Thank you!

[audio]

[raisethemoon]

Not at all.

[A slight pause, as she debates whether or not to continue this accidental conversation. Well, they likely ARE running about lost...]

Am I to take it that the three of you all arrived together? From the same original world?

[audio]

[justabitunlikely]

No doubt because he was messing with it.

[audio]

[battleborndr]

Yes. That's exactly it.

[Is that sarcasm? No... of course not...]

[audio]

[raisethemoon]

He is your father? [Interesting.] 'Twould be best not to anger the Moogles in the future; theirs is quite the trade monopoly.

[audio]

[oi_earthgirl]

Oi!

Nice move there, Beanpole. [She's going to break out all the nicknames for him at some point.]

Thank you.

[audio]

[battleborndr]

Oi!

Nice move not reminding me, Earthgirl!

[Two can play at that game, huh. Yeah, he's even echoed Donna down to her tone and inflection.]

[brodakota]

[Three in one go? That's new. Sounds like an argument, or maybe just friendly bickering hard to tell, but maybe he can step in and help out.]

Is...uh, is everything alright?

[audio]

[battleborndr]

As alright as it can be for this sort of thing, I suppose.

[audio]

[brodakota]

If you're sure. It's a bit surprising, winding up here.

[audio for now-]

[realmenknitplushies]

Uh. Guys, you're kind of -

[Screw it. The young man's voice interjecting now increases in volume-]

Hey! What're you lot doin'? D'you want everyone listening to you all arguing?

[audio]

[oi_earthgirl]

And that would be the Doctor's fault. Not surprised.

We'll get that fixed.

[audio]

[battleborndr]

Maybe I did!

[He huffs. Alright, so he really can't justify it.]

[audio]

[justabitunlikely]

Those two are the ones really doing the arguing, but it's rather normal for them. Doubt it'll be the last time you'll hear them, even over this network.

And hello! [She sounds all perky and happy go lucky about all this.]

[video]

[defrostedpride]

The Moogles hate it when you try to reverse-engineer their products. [Not that he knows from personal experience, or anything...]

Who might you be?

[audio]

[battleborndr]

I just wanted a peek inside.

[Honestly, he doesn't see the big deal.

He hesitates a bit before answering the question, not entirely certain of it himself, but Jenny and Donna have mostly insisted, so... What's the harm. It's mostly true, after all.]

I'm the Doctor.

Video, and look who is Not Impressed

[unrecovered]

A word of advice: ticking off the Moogles is going to make life really hard for you. Just saying.

[audio]

[battleborndr]

Yes, they seem rather stingy. [He sniffs.] Anything else you know of that easily sets them off?

Video

[oi_earthgirl]

[Donna rolls her eyes before turning to look at someone off camera.]

Smooth move there, Doctor.

[wavesinherheart]

Excuse me, I hate to be a bother, but your communicator is broadcasting.

[justabitunlikely]

Yeah, I think he's managed to figure it out at this point. Fraid' we're all still getting the hang of them. Thanks though. For saying something, I mean.

[audio]

[battleborndr]

Jenny already said it, but thank you. Common decency of strangers can be hard to come by in some places.

[Video]

[lessabrasive]

[ An unimpressed Peepsta Hoo hoots disapprovingly at the camera from where it is perched on Lin's shoulder. The older woman seems to have similar reservations. ]

Do you make a habit of deliberately breaking things that were given to you?

[audio]

[battleborndr]

It's not broken.
