[ The Doctor sat on the ground, his chalk coated fingers working over a drawing he was making on the pavement. Some of those who passed by tossed him a few coins as he did seem down on his luck with his baggy ill-fitting coat but he didn't pay them much mind at all. ]

You know what the trouble with magic is? It's so very capricious! It does more what it would like to do than what you would like it to do!

[ But he stood up, paced around his drawing and gave his new magic a try anyway. ]

Though only made of chalk you may be,
A little magic could set you free!

[ He watched closely as the chalk drawing on the ground did absolutely nothing! Finally the Doctor huffed, dropped his 'Tah dah' hands to his side and moved over to collect his mirror. ]

Oh well... can't win them all can you? I only thought to check in, see how you are all doing after that adventure. I should probably mention a friend and I have plans to go out again and take another look around. No need to worry if you don't hear from me for a while.

[ Suddenly his arm was tugged, jostling the mirror and the Doctor himself who turned to face a giant pink alligator with a green tutu. One of the drawings finally come to life. ]

You're late!

[ The alligator shrugged as the marching band made out of various sizes and types and colors of animals started to play an upbeat tune which seems to go well, encouraging both alligator and Doctor to dance along with the band, until a rabbit with a top hat broke ranks and snatched some carrots off a market cart. And a dog with an Oboe smashed a cat with a violin over the head with a stolen pumpkin. Then the happy little parade turned into a frantic food fight.

OOC: Feel free to have your characters caught up in the fray if you'd like to. ]

[Eleanor yawned, raking her fingers through her hair as she walked to work. She'd been summoned there and she still had to work. What kinda bullshit was that. She smiled as she thought about taking a nice nap in her office when a drum rolled past her.]

What the fuck?

[Confused, she turned, watching it continue down the street. It was only then that she heard the commotion. Turning again, her eyes widened as she took in the scene. Pure chaos and, in the middle, an unmistakable hobo.]

Doctor?!

[She walked forward, yelping as she jumped out of the way of the turtle who was vainly trying to catch up to his wayward drum.]

Why do I get the feeling you had something to do with this?

[funnylittleclown]

Eleanor!

[ He reached out to grab her hand and pull her quickly to the side of the road. ]

Hurry! Before they find the tomatoes!

[ The Doctor ducked behind an overturned cart, bringing the lady with him, and only once they were safely hidden did he take exception to her question. ]

And what makes you think I had anything to do with this?! I'm not always the one causing trouble!

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She gasped, but let him pull her with him. Following suit, she crouched behind the cart next to him.]

Tomatoes?! [She shook her head] No, but you're the only one I see here and this sure as shit looks like chaos to me. The only thing missing is the glitter!

[funnylittleclown]

[ No sooner than she had spoken did one of the tomatoes that had worried the Doctor slam into the leeward side of their hiding place and dislodge a torn bag of flour which sprinkled down on them like snow... or glitter. ]

Well, if you must know. I was attempting an animation spell... It should only have created a band out of a few chalk drawings, I've no idea how it went wrong!

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She yelped again, covering her head. Glaring at him, she tried to brush off the flour, only succeeding in smearing it across her face. ]

Why? Why did you think that was a good idea?!

[funnylittleclown]

[ Luckily for her she looked cute with a smudge of flour on her nose! ]

Why do you say it like it was a bad idea? It was an idea... I had no idea it would turn out like this.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Hey thanks.

Don't change the subject!]

They're animals! What did you think would happen?

[She sighed, wincing as the stand was pelted by more fruits.]

Okay. More importantly: how do we stop this!

[funnylittleclown]

[ Eek! ]

I thought it might be like the stories and they would enjoy being in a band. It always works out that in the pictures. You've see those? The drawing comes to life for a song and dance number? They are charming movies!

[ Somewhere an apple cart was turned over and all the contents came rolling across the street at the pair hiding behind the overturned cart. ]

Stop them, yes, that would be a good idea. Well, they are only chalk... if we could wipe them away or get them wet some how, they ought to just fade away.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Hey!

[Eleanor picked up one of the apples, standing up. ]

Watch where you're throwing shit you big ape!

[Then she threw it... At a big ape. What the fuck had her life become??

When she crouched back down what he'd said sank in.]

Water? Shit... Of course it had to be water.

[video]

[bigbadrose]

[Yup, that looks like typical Doctor.]

Having fun?

[video]

[funnylittleclown]

I'm not sure if...

[ He jumped to dodge a thrown lettuce. ]

I would really consider this...

[ And he leapt again like a rabbit to dodge a rutabaga. ]

fun!

[ Finally he dived for cover. ]

These things do keep happening!

[video]

[bigbadrose]

Looks exciting.

[Notice how she's not out in the thick of it?]

[video]

[funnylittleclown]

[ He does notice and why not point it out while he was at it! ]

You could come join in. There are plenty of strawberries that haven't been tossed about yet.

[video]

[bigbadrose]

Hmmmmm....

As fun as that sounds, I think I'd rather stick to strawberry shampoo in my hair than the real thing, yeah?

[Waggles fingers again.] You'll just have to have all my quota of fun for me!

[video]

[funnylittleclown]

I'll remember you said that.

[ Said with just a touch of a 'I will smash a few in your hair the next time I see you' threat. ]

Oh my word!

[ The Doctor exclaimed when some hapless passerby got nailed by an orange. ]

I was only trying to get them to play some music! I can't seem to get enough of it these days.

[video]

[bigbadrose]

All right, all right, how can I leave such a cute face in trouble? [Moving out to come find him.]

Really? You should jam with the older Doctor, he plays guitar. And said he'd teach me bass. And Michael and us were gonna go to karaoke!

[video]

[funnylittleclown]

Oh, thank you! That's very kind.

[ And how his voice turns as sweet as honey when help is on the way. ]

I should like that... all of it sounds right up my alley, but do watch your head. They have discovered the watermelons!

[guitar_hero]

[he had seen the whole thing and since he was in the neighborhood-- well to be fair with only three streets it was hard to be anywhere else, he thought he'd peek in on the fun personally and torment himself. Somewhat complicated musical phrase who today was decked out with bows and bells in hier mane, seemed unperturbed. Though annoyed when a tomato landed upside hier face.]

We always did tend to bring the party. [he grins from where he's lounging on the jump seat of the carriage.] Yo.

[funnylittleclown]

In this case it's more like...

[ He quickly ducked a flying kiwi before scurrying over to hide behind the carriage. ]

... a rowdy tossed salad bar! Can't you do anything?

[guitar_hero]

[he glances at himself and spreads his hands]

What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?

[funnylittleclown]

It might do as a distraction.

[ The shorter Doctor looked up at his counterpart, had to really given the carriage seat was so high. ]

Though I'm not sure your legs could handle a skirt.

[guitar_hero]

Oh, you asked for it.

[he steps down from the carriage and holds up his hands]

Friends! Animals! Rioting Party Goers! Lend me your ears!

[a rabbit throws a cob of corn at him which he ducks]

Thank you.

I shall now preform, for your pride and pleasure, Time Lord hula.

[he kisses the sonic and swirls it around in loops. Flowers surround hims and when they burst apart he is in grass skirts and hawaiian shirts with a ukelele and bongo drums respectively]

Ready, Doctor?

[funnylittleclown]

[ Two looked to his older self, then to the horse whom he hadn't yet been introduced to. ]

You know I do believe I've grown a little unhinged.

[ He dubiously looked to his older self about to perform the 'Time Lord Hula' but stayed safely out of thwacking range of the flying fruit. ]

I was wrong about the skirt though, I do have rather nice knees, don't I?

[guitar_hero]

[he laughs]

No you haven't changed a bit.

[but he grins as his younger self hides. The auidence does seem a little restless, doesn't it.]

Alright, you know what? Guys, fellas, ladies, gentleman and other. [he puts his shades on and grins at them]

How about we all do this together? Who is with me?

[it takes a moment of crickets but eventually most of them agree. The others seem to peel off and spiral elswhere but eh. Can't win them all]

Alright, friends! [another twirl of the sonic and there are more grass skirts and ukekeles to go around]

Let's hit it.

[and, more or less synchronized, they begin to play. And dance too. It isn't that difficult after all. Just a jump to the left...]

[funnylittleclown]

There was a problem with music, all music really, it didn't matter how good or how bad... the younger Doctor loved it... one could say to the point of obsession. His grass skirt was sweeping back and forth over the ground, before his feet began to tap, and before he knew what was happening he was out in the thick of the mess singing and playing with the rest of the unusual menagerie.

"Lets do the time warp again~!"

He pirouetted over to bump his hip against, well, his hip.

"I say this is fun! I thought you were going to end up buried under a mound of fruit!"

The Doctor bounced his head over to a rather fetching giraffe who kept batting his eyes at the conductor.

"Keep on your toes though... everyone loves the maestro!"
