Aug. 24th, 2019 12:53 pm[ 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. ]

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

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

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?

Date: 2019-08-28 03:19 am (UTC)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?

Date: 2019-08-28 03:28 am (UTC)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...]

Date: 2019-08-28 06:12 am (UTC)"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!"

Date: 2019-08-29 07:58 pm (UTC)He looks over at the giraffe who waves a hoof at them coyly.
"Ahh, sorry, madam. I'm taken. This one's free." He bumps the other's hip, hoping to get him stumbling into her lanky arms.

Date: 2019-08-30 04:10 am (UTC)But the tripped over words weren't really listened to. Instead the giraffe tried to grab hold of the Doctor that stumbled forward into her hug but the slippery rascal ducked under her arms and dodged away.
"Now there is that very nice elephant that has been trying to get your attention all afternoon, look, he is waving his trunk at you. Why not go dance with him?"
She hadn't noticed the elephant in the courtyard but once she did going off to dance with him sounded like a wonderful idea. The new couple pirouetted away with a happy trumpet from the elephant's tuba!
"Ah, that's nice. I love to see two creatures find each other."
Not dancing any longer himself he threaded his fingers together and gave himself a curious look.
"And since when have I been taken?"

Date: 2019-09-03 11:18 pm (UTC)He younger self watched after the fleeing himself but, his eyes slowly looked back to the horde of music playing animals, and he too decided to beat a hasty retreat from the area before the music was too far away to distract these creatures.
