[1] Arrival | OPEN

Who: Leela & [Open]
What: Arrival
When: Now
Warnings: Fire and a stabby warrior 




For Leela, waking up somewhere with a hazy memory in a location completely wrong is less uncommon than it once was. She sits there for a very long time in this strange bed with its fancy interior, her legs crossed as she turns the key over, touching its ridges, glowering at the necklace, at the phone, at the directions. She does not have Red's arm thrown across her hip where it had once been but the place where he had been against her - his scent lingered and the knife he had given her was in her hand. Her fingers curl around it until her knuckles turn white.

This is the way it happens, now, and it angers her. It is a formless, irrational anger because she knows better. Escape is not something that is possible. Like the New York, like the Hudson with its stupid water, this place had taken her. Leela's lip curled and her skin grew hot as she rose, her bare feet against this cave's ground.

Why?

Ugly jewellery. Ost-- Ostenta-- Ugly. She put it around her neck as instructed and set the star necklace that she never took off, the one from Red, atop it with great care. Leela had fallen asleep at some point with one of his sweaters on and she curled her fingers around a cuff with hard, bright eyes before powering up the phone.

"I am Leela of Gallifrey, warrior of the Sevateem," she says into the device. "You who know me will find me."

That message sent out, she curled her fingers around the device and followed the directions, heedless of the weather or terrain. None of it truly mattered, not yet. Her body was hot with anger, power glowing under her skin but none of it scorched anything but her path.

[The Doctor answers right off, beginning with a cheery, openly fascinated smile. Glowy ladies, that's new.

...it takes him a second to get past the glowiness, but he begins peering into the screen even before she says her name, then points into the camera, then leans in closer for another look.
]

You- whot? Leela? If you're Leela, then what're you doing that for?

[Okay new glowy ladies would be one thing, but Leela isn't supposed to glow.]
youfool: (well ackshully)

[Gee, she sounded upset. Probably not in a conversational mood.

Oh well!]


Good afternoon, Leela. Welcome to the world! How are you taking it thus far?

And what's the Sevateem?
spacepeterpan: The Doctor is a bit incredulous (oh really)

[video]

[personal profile] spacepeterpan 2018-12-12 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[...okay that throws him off a bit. He wouldn't have said Leela was dumb or anything, but it seemed a little too sharp for her to just ID him right off like that, didn't it?

Even so, he can't quite resist smiling, even if he's a bit perplexed at the same time.
]

...sorry, whot? I mean, yeah, ought to stay out of it, but what's in it to make you glow--and how d'you know this face, fairly sure I'd remember if I'd run into a glowing Leela recently.

[He's wasting no time, of course, turning his screwdriver on his phone to set up a resonance with hers and get an orientation.]

...give us a mo, and I'll be right there.
youfool: (lol)

[He gets a lot of looks. He'll never know why.]

I see. How did you get along with your neighbor tribes: the Sixteem and the Eighteem?
nevercruel: (Oooooh!)

[Text and sorta Action]

[Oh. Oh. Oh this was both wonderful and mildly terrifying! And confusing, was she glowing? Anyone who was around the TARDIS when the message went out would see the Doctor scrambling to rush out the doors, muttering to herself in a slightly panicked-sounding voice.]

Oh, oh, oh, oh no, oh, oh goodness me, this is brilliant and bad and oh I hope she doesn't attack anyone!

[All the while, her fingers were flying over the keys on the phone, rapidly sending out a text. Text was easier for the moment, what with the new face, and she wanted to get to the bay before the Savateem woman lost her temper after being brought here against her will.]

Leela, stay in the bay, I'll come find you!

Little warning ahead of time, I've regenerated since you last saw me. Please don't stab the blonde woman with a blue coat when you see her, I quite like living. By which I mean to say I am the blonde woman with the blue coat.

It's good to see you again! There's no danger here, promise!


[Leela was great and perfectly capable of taking care of herself and it was going to be wonderful to get to see her again, after so long. But she was so prone to biting before fully thinking, and the last time the Doctor had seen her had been...

Oh, by the stars, she hoped she was pulled from a different time then the war. Otherwise, she might be even more apt to bite.]

[But...but mocking's his favorite.]

All right. Well, will you tell me about them? What delineating them from other tribes?

Really...

[It's hard to say what's more interesting, that she saw him before in another pocket dimension where he hasn't been (well, yet), or that she got some sort of (maybe symbioting?) infection that makes her glow from jumping in a river on Earth.

He's a bit touched at the thought of her recognizing him so readily... although he deadpans just a little at her waving a knife like that. The way the background moves behind him, thought, he's on his way to meet her, regardless.
]

......well, the angry part makes sense, doesn't it. Some kind of symbiotic bacteria, I s'pose, coupling to your telepathic field, maybe, you all right? No other side effects, I hope?

[Anxious that Leela might harm someone and also wanting to see her; Ten materializes his Tardis near Leela's current location. After all, everyone wakes up in those caves.

Which then a lanky man with brown fluffy hair, brown eyes, blue pinstripe suit and red sandshoes steps out in shock and concern.

And eyes around for any damage]

Really his tongue is his best asset. Not in the kinky way. [he's good with words, in other... well... words. But never mind that for now]

He's not a bad man, just a very odd one.
guitar_hero: (I see you)

[Video]

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-12-13 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[a pause for him but a shorter one. He'll never understand how some people recognize him while others--it takes a while.

In any case...]


You'll be seeing a lot of it. [too many, really] Fortunately for you, I've retired. Just the Professor now.

[a beat]

But it's good to see you too, Leela. I've missed you.
guitar_hero: (superstar)

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-12-13 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not the same at all.

[hence, retired]

But here we are. [even if it's worrying] Where are you? I could pick you up for a drink or something.
guitar_hero: (well I don't know)

Throw some trousers on you'll be fine. Be there in a bit.

[several hours later, Leela may hear a distant roaring noise which will soon become a quite close roaring noise and bring with it the Do-- Professor on a sleek black motorcycle that comes purring to a stop as he peers at her through sexy sonic shades]

Holla.

[what's up, fellow kid]
