smk_network[ 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. ]

If some one could distract them...

[BOOKS IT.]
[Running as fast as she can and using a big of light magic to act as armor.]

If you can manage to double back I should be ready for you.

Date: 2019-08-25 02:26 am (UTC)I don't suppose you have any more permanent solutions in mind, do ya?

[And yes, that song might change too!]
[It's hard to focus when you're doing 3 things at once. Even for Rose, who's a master of it.]

Date: 2019-08-26 05:35 am (UTC)Maybe they will follow us out into the middle of the lake if we ride in one of those!

Think it'll work?
Oh well. ^^
Date: 2019-08-28 06:12 am (UTC)I don't see why not... look! They are coming!
[ True enough as the Doctor spoke the band of misfit animals charged over the hill and plowed right into the water, coloring it as their chalky bodies disappeared. ]
A shame really that they were never able to play even a single song.
