1 // Giddy Aunt

[ 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. ]

But, snow it very close to rain! And look!

[ He pointed enthusiastically towards the partially melted band. The snow turned to water when it landed on each animal and the ground was far too warm to support it for long. Puddles began to form like traps that swallowed up any creature foolish enough to splash into one. ]

It's working!

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Okay, watching a cat flail as it disappeared into a puddle of water was hilarious.

She smirked, watching the chaos slowly disappear in the snow.]

Hey, yeah, it is! Not to bad, if I say so myself. [ Her last words are lost in a yawn. ]

[funnylittleclown]

Oh dear.

[ The Doctor scooted closer to take Eleanor's elbow. ]

If you are thinking about sleeping I think we had better find some where warmer than this snow.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Now that's the best idea I've heard all day.

[She smiled tiredly, letting him help her keep her balance. Who knew? Calling a snow storm was tiring work.]

I was on my way to work, I can take a nap in my office.

[funnylittleclown]

Work yes, that is at the Emporium, isn't it?

[ He acted as her guide to lead her over the the rather large and impressive building. ]

And your office would be... which direction?

[ He had to ask once they were inside the shop. ]

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yeah.

[She idly wondered how he knew. But figured he knew so much that it only made sense that he'd know that.

Once they get in, she looked around. She'd only been working there a short time, after all. Finally, she pointed.]

Uhhh it's that way.

[funnylittleclown]

[ Oh he paid attention to thing and it did help he was often out on the streets entertaining people. One did get a good idea where people frequented when you saw them walking to and from work every day. ]

Oh, good... not too far then.

[ Only some where near the very back of the store... The Doctor helped her back there, giving the door a little kick with his foot to send it swinging open. ]

That office chair looks safe enough!

[ This was what he walked her over so she could have a good rest. ]

I do thank you for the help. Those creatures were rather more rambunctious than I thought they would be.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[That does help. She'd noticed him busking in the street before and wondered if that was really how he was making a living. To be fair, there were worse things to do. She smiled, letting him help her to the chair.]

It is. I've taken a few naps in it already.

[She shot him a smirk. The hand written "Do not disturb unless something is on fire" sign on the door was a pretty good clue that she was telling the truth.]

Hey, thanks. I'm kinda surprised it worked. I haven't done anything that big before.

[funnylittleclown]

It does look comfortable enough for naps.

[ Oh, the sign was a nice touch! He hadn't noticed it on the way in but then he had been busy making sure neither of them ran into the doorframe. ]

I'm glad it did work. I don't know what I would have done with those creatures if it hadn't.

[ He probably would have thought of something but that spell had been very helpful! ]

Well, I have better go and make sure they have all melted and, leave you to your nap, of course. Thank you Eleanor.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Why thank you, she's rather proud of that sign. She smiled]

You're welcome, Doc. Glad I could help. Hey, if you see Michael on your way out tell him I said he'd better not be slacking off and playing with the merchandise.
