An Invition to Torchwood and Chill - [OTA Video -> Action]

[spacepeterpan]

[Video]

[The Eleventh Doctor pops up on screen with an affable smile, beside his younger (if slightly older-looking) self.]

Hello, everyone, The Doctor here.

[ The Tenth Doctor is now on screen next to his older self and giving a cheeky smile]

Hullo, also The Doctor.

[The older (even if he doesn’t quite look it) Doctor nods with a smile and a tilt of his head toward the other.]

Anyways, me and chinny here -

[The younger-looking Doctor rolls his eyes.]

Oi, try and stay on topic.

[Ten puffs his cheeks in a held in laugh because *really* self]

Me and Chinny here have put together a place for the residents who find this weather a bit unbearable a place to stay.

[The Eleventh Doctor shakes his head and renews his smile for the camera.]

Yes, simple enough, heat exchanger looped through the Alpine Room in my TARDIS, keeps a few rooms at Torchwood very pleasant for anyone who’s not cut out for this sort of heat. Because that’s what we do.

[He pauses just a second to adjust his bow tie proudly.]

Make it cool.

[Ten eyes Eleven and then off screen towards Rose - they’re not charging for this right? Right? He doesn’t know what she wants and back at the camera.]

Come on over and make yourselves comfortable.

And don’t hesitate to give us a ring if you can’t get here safely on your own, we’ll work something out.

[[[FYI, both Eleven and Ten will probably answer replies, and other Torchwood people helping out may threadjack in unless threads are locked.]]]

*********************

[Action]
[The Eleventh Doctor will be around Torchwood, making sure the heat exchanger is working (and that nobody goes wandering into his TARDIS uninvited), and to brainstorm a solution just in case anyone needs help getting there. The Tenth Doctor will be around, also, as well as other Torchwood people to check those who arrive for signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke, etc.]

Hark, you...yous! [Martha pops up on the screen, laughing] Stay on topic. As if.

[She's grinning fiercely, love practically radiating from the screen]

I can be on pick-up duty, if there's a need. Double-dipping, yeah?

[A slightly more professional expression crosses her face as she turns her attention outward]

Tagging on to the Doctors, I'm Dr. Martha Jones, and I'll be out and about if anyone's suffering from heat stroke or otherwise. Give us a bell if you need...right, well, anything.

It's what we do.

Whut? I have you know I'm the expert on staying on topic. Anything I ramble I ramble for a reason.

[See icon. Srsly see icon]

How nice of you two to finally chill out.

[actually he's just butting in and making the pun to acknowledge that he is here too and, in fact, ahead of (or behind) the game (depending on where you're standing) so they have to acknowledge him. Even if this mostly for The Great you've made all the mistakes I've tried to avoid because I'ma repressed idiot and severely disappointed in my future who is increasingly not giving a damn Gonzo]

[bigbadrose]

I dunno, they still seem a little hot under the collar. Tie and bowtie. [Don't overthink the collar thing plz and thanks.]

[Video]

[spacepeterpan]

[The Doctor answers with a bit of a chilly, you-know-what-you-did quality to his smile.]

Yeah, not actually new, that, in case you'd forgotten. 'course there's such a thing as getting too relaxed, isn't there.

Action

[bigbadrose]

[BOTH DOCTORS GET KISSES TO THE CHEEKS.]

Thank you two. [NO THEY ARE NOT CHARGING. REALLY 10. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER?]

And Martha wants to run on emergency pick-up. I only got her a motorbike though, so any ambulance work.... [SPREADS HANDS WITH A SHRUG.] Jack had an SUV. [MAKES A FACE.] SUV. In the 2000s. Really. [GIANT EYEROLL and armfold!] That's how you KNOW it was government funded. Totally impractical, yeah? Though I guess it's slightly less dodgy lookin' than a van. BARELY.

[spacepeterpan]

[The Doctor's a bit caught off guard at the Sudden Rose, but grins and laughs, not really troubled by anything as innocent as a cheek-kiss. ...especially considering he shares those around like candy at Halloween.]

'course, we're here to help, yeah?

[He flashes a smile over at his younger self (maybe hoping he'll get on board with the slogan), then back to Rose again, clasping his hands together.]

We'll have to see who needs help, motorbike may not be quick enough if it's a long distance, or could throw together a cold jacket.

[He raises a hand pointing toward Ten as he pontificates, then to Rose again.]

Like a regular jacket, but cold.

[Kisses back on the mouth]

'Ourse. Why wouldn't I help you?

[video]

[4thdimensional]

That is a very kind offer, but I have one question. How many can fit in those rooms? I'm not concerned about myself in this heat, I'm merely wondering if I should be putting my energy toward a similar project.

[It looks like a widespread problem, and he's thought to himself that perhaps one of the better ways to integrate into the community is to help out.]

[video]

[guitar_hero]

All of eternity and then some.

And once a Starbucks but that is a long story and we never did find out where we put the espresso machine.

[video]

[bigbadrose]

[She should be able to place him but... nope!]

What company do you work for?

I'm in need of good scientists who can enlarge the inside of rooms for cheaper than these two lugheads, so if you're not already with a company, you could team up. And I'll offer better perks.

Unless you're with Capsule Corp, then I'm doing a non-compete dealio.

[video]

[spacepeterpan]

Oh, hello, don't think we've been introduced, should be quite a few, though, cleared out a good bit of the first floor. If you've got a space that's more out of the way, though, might not hurt, give anyone who's not near here a place to go. Let us know if y'need a hand with anything.

Re: [video]

[borntolove]

[Excuse the fanboy like look on his face or expression of pure wide brown eyed big enthusiastic because look who just showed up here. Basically, that look Ten gets when talking about J.K. Rowling]

Based on the dimensions of the room interior - [Ten pops his mouth] I'd say - [Apparently is doing the math in his head right now look]

Fifty - five.

[Which is including all the body heat]

[Action]

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi can be found sprawled out on Torchwood's odd tree shaped book shelf. The top shelf had been removed and the one under it contained no books. It was reserved for the relaxed little youkai. And it was simply too hot to spend her time outside.

She would be hard to notice up there but she could see all the going ons in the area from her perch. Like a cat. She might move at some point. She might not. The heat made her a little sleepy.

Still, should anyone interesting come by they should expect to get pounced on.

Re: [Action]

[borntolove]

Ten comes back in; after had ran away from Rose and Chinny - he had work to do after all and didn't want to talk about what is bothering him thank you very much!

Which is obvious that something is bothering because he somehow passes Koishi right up rather than acknowledging her.

But he has blood to make - after all - he wasn't at work all day, Monday.

[quick_clean_pure]

Ohhhh thank God.

[spacepeterpan]

Ah, hello, don't think we've been introduced, but y'know where to find us, yeah?

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

[...]

How many a y' bastards is called the Doctor anyway?

Re: [Video]

[spacepeterpan]

Ah, well...

[He almost answers, then corrects himself with a wry smile.]

...depends how you count, but let's say two, for now, well, two and a half, bit complicated, earlier regeneration, this one.

[He thumbs over at the pinstriped fellow next to him.]

That's me, oh, a few hundred years ago, by my reckoning, well, sort of, timelines are out of sync, but aside from that.

[light_of_willpower]

I can also be available to fetch and carry people or items. The heat is annoying, but doesn't bother me otherwise. If we need to get people to Torchwood safely. I can fly, and am quicker and stronger than I look. I'm also not bad with mechanics, for help.

One of the neighbors in my building, a girl named Anastasia, she does not do well with heat at all. It seems to be regulated right now via a circlet she wears that's magical in nature, but I plan to check on her. IF, and it is an if, she seems alright, I wouldn't mind if we could figure out an alternative to her circlet too--just in case something happens to it. It was hard to come by, I'm told.

[Video]---Locked to Torchwood staff

[bigbadrose]

You fly?

Oh!! Princess Ana?? [Quick look to 10.] She's Mavis' baby sister. I promised to look after her. [Back to Trunks:] I know she mentioned needing something like that just to go to school, but I didn't know it was so severe. Yeah, definitely bring her on by if she wants. Tell her she can finally play Go Fish. How did your family meet her anyway?

Re: [Video]---Locked to Torchwood staff

[spacepeterpan]

...flying, int'resting, could be important, how quick is quick, then?

[He might already be thinking about how to provide personalized environmental control, but that's a bit fancy to throw together on the fly, especially to make it reliable enough for an non-expert end-user and able to last indefinitely. If it was just for himself to jump out a spaceship or something, he could wing it, but someone else's long-term safety is another story.]

[polyandrist]

[Well, having a mobile home was all nice and good save for when you trudged home from a burning hot office, through burning hot weather and found said home not where you parked it. So, River is about to open her communication device to ask 11 where the TARDIS is (because bloody hell it's hot) when she sees this post.

With a loud sigh and a roll of her eyes, because no one expects 55 house guests at all, River is done with walking and despite what the vortex manipulator would do to her hair (especially given the weather outside and all of that) she just decides to use it to end up in front of Torchwood tower. She knows where it is of course, even if she's not particularly glad to be walking into it.

Moving through the cold rooms, River stops if anyone stops to talk to her, but mostly? She's heading towards her rooms in the TARDIS because she wants a cold bath and a large drink.]

[spacepeterpan]

[On the bright side, the guests aren't actually in the TARDIS, just in the Torchwood rooms she has to go through to reach the TARDIS where it's tucked away in a closet.

A closet in which she finds the Doctor checking over the heat-exchanger piping he's got running in through the closet door and plugged into a port he's added below the telephone on the front door of the TARDIS. With the door open, she can see the piping continues on inside, across the console room, and off down one of the hallways.

He pops upright when she opens the closet door, surprised briefly before he breaks into a grin. ...while also distracted for a moment by her hair.]

River! There you are, blimey, were you playing with your vortex manipulator, or's it just that sort of day out?

[clevermind]

That's very kind of you both.

I'd love to stay in the Tardis for a bit, there is room, but I'm afraid I might need some assistance gathering my things.

[ooc: this video is mostly for 10 but anyone can pop in.]
