Open RP Post

[servo]

so this is how it works... 1. Choose the character, put it in the subject line. 2. Type up your scenario or shoot a prompt. If you are out of ideas... → A scene from the Random Scenario Meme → A Picture Prompt → Other-Wordly Prompt Go with action, angst, romance, gen, whatever - take your pick. (I can do smut or other NSFW threads too but please ask first.) 3. Get ready, set, GO! NOTE: For Middle Earth characters, please go to my Middle-Earth Open Scenario Post!

this got a little big oops

[recurred]

((prompt is um the beginning of a typical adventure. we'll make the adventure up as we go, but let's start with the pick up))

[wednessday, it's wednesday again. any random wednesday for him, but a consecutive one for her. waiting for him a bit more confidently now since they've been to Hedgewick's, but of course when that question comes to 'where do you want to go' she'll have not a damn clue what to say. but now she's the boss, she knows it and can't let him take it away again]

[so instead of pacing around, ol clara is leaning against the side of the door, checking her watch repeatedly as she listens for that godawful TARDIS noise to fill the air]

i am definitely not late at all

[crossmyhearts]

[any other wednesday. right! just as he told her. the TARDIS just seemed keen on landing a bit farther away than he meant it to.]

[if clara is hoping to hear that beautiful sound of his ship landing, she is in no luck. she does, however, get the privilege of seeing him hopping and wobbling his way across a garden, nearly into a bush, tiny spin to his heel before he runs across the street and stops right in front of the house.]

Wednesday! It is Wednesday, right? Of course it is, you were obviously waiting for me. Hello! Ready to go? Come on, then!

better late than never

[recurred]

[ten more minutes, and angie might make some comment about her getting stood up, but there he is]

[quietly judging him. not really. as she pushes herself off the frame and bounds down the porch to meet him]

Where's the ship? [is she on first name basis with it. it feels weird, dont make her. did you mispark it]

[crossmyhearts]

[ponders the question, then waves distractedly to somewhere over his shoulder]

Somewhere over... there, in that general direction. There'll be a bit of walking, but you don't mind that, do you? It'll give you the chance to think of what do you want to do today, which brings me to my next question: Where do you want to go? Or... when, that's a fair question too, in this case.

[recurred]

[looks towards where he waved before starting to walk]

[and no miss bossypants doesnt know where to go yet but she'll never admit it]

Don't you ever get sick of travelling through the Earth's timeline? What about other planets, other..species.

[crossmyhearts]

[oh she's walking. that was fast. turning around and skipping over until he catches up to her.]

Now, when I say 'where' I do mean anywhere, even other planets. Have I not taken you to places far off, out there... [rounding her shoulders with one arm, and gesturing at the sky with his other hand.] I mean, literally anywhere. All the lady must do is ask.

[assuming she knows other planets' names of course.]

[recurred]

[looks up. with a small frown. not entirely untrue, but..]

I mean they're all out there right now. Where's the closest one to us now? You know, developed civilization trying to figure out stuff just like we are. Did anyone ever look up and see our sun and wonder the same thing we wonder about them? [all the childhood questions]

[crossmyhearts]

Of course not, that's silly. No other civilization is quite as close to our sun, all they can see is a tiny little star in the sky. Though I suppose they do have a sun of their own so they probably have at some point looked up and wondered the same things. [sudden realization] Mars! Mars has civilization. Or had, tragic story, I'll tell you about it some day. It's a dying planet, basically. So, a planet with another species! Yes, alright. We'll see what I can do.

[recurred]

Mars? [seriously?]

Can we go on Mars?

[do they have air]

[crossmyhearts]

No. Well, we could go back in time, but it's not a very pleasant place.

But we can fly past Mars, I could station the TARDIS just above it. You'll like it a whole lot better like that.

[recurred]

[thinks on it]

Okay, Mars, and then where? [spots the TARDIS down the road and breaks away from him to skip ahead]

Come on, we're not the only planet that's bustling, are we? Let's find the next big alien metropolis. Hopefully the kind that doesn't sacrifice little girls to mummies.

[crossmyhearts]

That narrows it down, in the very least. [muttered]

Alright then, we could just... improvise. I like improvising. Random pick, you just close your eyes and press a button. Or pull a lever. Except I can't let you do that, honestly, not on my ship. Oh, I know! You close your eyes and I pull a lever. Yes! Fun, exciting plans!

[recurred]

[narrows eyes]

I don't think that's quite the same. [but she's not complaining. they'll still end up somewhere]

[crossmyhearts]

Of course it's not the same. I thought you just said you wanted something different. We'll still be picking from a smaller list of places, places with people and civilizations and all those things you want to see, no worries! Right then--

[opening the door now, and holding it open with a gesture inside.] Ladies first.

[recurred]

[slides in, chin up as she reaches for the rails to glide her hands along them]

One has to wonder...[as she stops and turns to watch him] What haven't you seen? You must've seen almost everything by now.

[crossmyhearts]

[walks in after her and closes the door behind him, skipping past her with a little twirl and a pause in front of her]

Lots of things I haven't seen, I'm sure. Big universe out there, and I'm only 900 years old. But I can't know what I haven't seen before until I actually saw it, which is why the key is to just go on traveling.

[recurred]

Fair point.

[small smile before she bounds ahead to look at the TARDIS interface, waiting for him to do the thing. then the thought hits her, nose scrunches as she turns around to look at him again]

Only 900?

[crossmyhearts]

[he's
so deeply insulted right now, there are no words.]

Are you saying I look old?!

[recurred]

No! No.

[now she feels bad]

I just meant the way you said it makes it sound...young.

[crossmyhearts]

That's because I am! Well, maybe not if you compare me to humans, but as a Time Lord I am young... ish. If you compare me to the average lifespan of a star, for instance, then I am really young. And if you consider the whole universe and how it came to be then I am really reeeeeally young.

[pats bowtie.] That doesn't change the fact that I look great for my age.

[recurred]

[sassy arm fold]

You sure dress your age.

[crossmyhearts]

[looks down at himself.

he gon take yo grandpa style]

What are you talking about? This is how all the young lads dress these days. [did he just say the word lad. yes he did. pretend it didn't happen she might not point it out.]

[recurred]

[scrunches nose. she's not gonna let it go]

I didn't know it was 1903. I should stop showing so much ankle.

[crossmyhearts]

I am most definitely sure this is not how people dressed in 1903.

[points down at his own feet, please to notice his pants are rolled up and shorter] See if it weren't for my boots I'd be showing ankle too!
