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. ]

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!"

"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.

"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?"
