Who: 10th Doctor and those invited
What: Christmas Party
When: 12/25
Where: Tardis (in Memorial Park in Genessia)
Warnings:
Notes:



Ten texted everyone on the invite list on where the Tardis would be parked for Christmas Day. Which the outside of the Tardis is decorated in big bulb Christmas lights, a wreath on the center and freshly fallen snow - on the outside.

On the inside, those who haven't been here before; will feel a sense of something alive. Being in something alive but friendly.

The first room aka the consule room. Though it's quite obvious there's a party - somewhere down that steampunk hallway.

Careful to not get lost - the Tardis may prank you and take you the long way around to the party (aka endless hallway

Inside the party room; there's a crackling stone fireplace with stockings that say; The Doctor, Rose, Jack, Martha, Gwen, Doc, Ches, Kioshi, Leela, The Doctor, Jenny, Sarah.

There are some real live reindeer, casually laying on the floor or standing in place.

The Christmas tree is real and has some rather interesting decorations (plus stringed popped popcorn)

The food/ beavage table has everything! And if the table doesn't - The Tardis will have that appear.

The centerpiece is a Major Award.

If one venture around they may notice in the next room is not one but two very long and high and you land - in a pool of warm liquid chocolate or cotton candy. Those slides are so twisted up it's a bit hard to tell which one you'll land in.


Music selection on the vinyl is; Frank Sintra, Bing Crosby, King Cole, Brenda Lee, Home Alone 1 and 2, Year Without a Santa Claus, Frosty, Rudolph

Comments

Regan Abbott - OTA

[highpitchednoises]

Regan stood outside the Tardis, dressed in a dress she bought herself with money from her job. She even had a good pair of black sneakers to go with it.

Yes, sneakers. She's still adjusting to shoes and the dressy flat's she'd bought to go with the dress were not that comfortable. So it was her best sneakers. Heck, even her cochlears had bows affixed to them, just to really bring the whole outfit together.

In her hands was a box of cupcakes she'd probably bought, too. No one should trust her with baking just yet. She only just mastered boiling hot dogs and making boxed mac and cheese.

When she'd gotten her invitation, she was quite excited to attend the party. It was from a good friend, someone she worked with, and someone she was glad to know, but the Tardis had her a bit stumped as to what to do.

She'd never been in it.

Curiosity got the better of her in this instance and, reaching up, she knocked on the door and waited.


Later, inside the TARDIS - ota:

Regan can be found near the speakers playing the music, feet bare, shoes in her hand as she listened both with her devices and with her feet feeling the steady vibrations of the music. She's enjoying this immensely, swaying some to the beat of the music, almost but not quite in time. There's food nearby, a plate stacked and set close on a surface as she watched the other people attending the party around her.

Re: Regan Abbott - OTA

[captainspain]

Jack spotted the girl as soon as he entered the Tardis, but waited until he'd settled in and grabbed some food and something to drink. He then walked over and waved to get her attention. "Hello," he added, "I'm Jack."

Re: Regan Abbott - OTA

[borntolove]

Ten is the last person to judge about someone wearing sneakers with a dress; but then considering his sneakers with the suit (that also has Tardis christmas lights) he's not one to say much but then again - rainbow suit coat - that was a thing with one of his lives.

Besides sneakers are best for running.

When Ten answers the door - he's wearing as described above (plus a santa hat) and smiling brightly and also sitting ontop of a reindeer and says in ASL.

Merry Christmas! Welcome to The Tardis. Please come on inside

The Doctor will make room for Regan to come inside too

Ten also has a very special gift for Regan, namely; a hearing aid that The Doctor himself pieced together.

Come at him, fam

[goesagainst_thegrain]

[Console room]

[This particular Doctor has forgone his typical patchwork coat, in favor of wearing something a little more subtle, paired with some blue trousers. Well... he tried to find something nice. It looks fine from the back, at least? Also this is his Christmas present to you all, you're welcome.

But anyway, he's currently glaring at one of the weird, organic-looking pillars that fill this particular Console room.

He might be poking it.]

[Party]

[This... isn't actually the Doctor's idea of a good time, and he probably only showed up because someone bribed him or something. He's either standing near the tree or possibly trying to make friends with one of the reindeer, not really mingling with the crowd.]

[PARTY TIIIME]

[classicms_smith]

[It had been a while since she'd actually been in the TARDIS. Even though there were a grand total of three to choose from here.

But here she was, new dress and even a new pair of shoes to match.]

...I forgot that the white is gone.

[She shook her head and placed several presents under the tree, and five envelopes on it before picking a bit of popcorn off to nibble on as she wandered around. She spotted him fairly easily, and with a little snicker she flings the bit of popcorn right at Six's head.]

Leela of the Sevateem (Gallifrey Audio) | OTA

[thisisgood]

[Final dress choice.]

[BEFORE THE PARTY]
1. It is within the wardrobe of the TARDIS where Leela stands, her arms crossed a little defiantly. The ship hums and there's a questioning tone to it that she hears. Her immediate thought is retreat into the kitchen so she does not have to look at fine things and think of high-shoes that she now can run in without falling over. It is a long way from his Fourth face where she refused, mostly, to wear anything but clothes she had hunted down and prepared herself.

Her tea tastes...wrong. It is not the TARDIS' fault, she knows this, for it is crisp and clear and tastes like fresh things. She says this under her breath, for she knows more about these TARDISes now than she did long ago. They live like any creature, attached to time and space, grown over centuries with temperaments themselves. When she was young, she knew little of this but part of her suspected.

She glowers into her tea, all the same, it is no one's fault and she must pick something to wear to this party. Leela knows she must go for this is her family.

AT THE PARTY
2. Leela being still is unlikely to happen. Leela with her heels on will not last long, for her bare feet against the ground feel right, connecting her to the now instead of the then. She has decided she will dance with anyone who wishes and she will dance long into the evening, even if it is just herself left. She must move, her dress around her ankles, her hair free, her spirit wild.

It is not a party thing, it is a Leela thing. It is sometimes a sad thing but in the end, it is a dance for her family, too. A reunion thing that should be with different music but it is good.

When she reaches out, it is for another dance with someone, anyone, and the blue glow flickering under her skin breaks in points, like stars, shifting in golds and reds at times.

3. She wanders the TARDIS because she can and her fingers drift against the walls as she moves. It is a break from the party, a walk that eventually lands her at the beverage table and a cup of tea that she holds in both hands. That centrepiece makes her stare and stare, a little wide-eyed and definitely confused.

4. Leela sits on her knees in front of the fireplace, looking at all the names in little funny boots, her face slightly scrunched as she tries to remember what this tradition is. Her name is there as well but she eyes it with the wariness of a Sevateem warrior, though her fingers cup her tea with grace.

"Why is it little boots?" she asks quietly.

3

[goesagainst_thegrain]

The Doctor has wandered over to the beverage table in search of tea himself. He notices Leela first, however, and smiles as he nods to her.

"Hello, Leela! Enjoying yourself?" He follows her gaze over to the leg lamp. "...ah."

4

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea happened to be passing by at the time, his own drink- a cup of spiced hot chocolate- in hand, when he heard the question. "They're stockings, actually," he said, pausing nearby. "And there's an old story behind why they're hung up like that around Christmas, if you're interested."

4

[bigbadrose]

"Oh!" A giant beam and all too chipper face. "That's what the first St. Nick used to hide gifts in!! Gold coins or oranges or candy for the good, coal for the naughty! They'd be drying by the fireplace so he could toss them in without causing so much fuss."

12 OTA

[guitar_hero]

[he doesn't get the reindeer. Why live ones? Probably showing off, he supposes, but it still seems like a bit of overkill. In any case, that is where he's hanging out for the majority of the party-or at least as much as anyone will let him, petting velvet noses and feeding carrots and greens to the animals. He is also wearing the requisite ugly Christmas jumper and will exude an appropriate amount of Christmas Cheer/enjoying himself (tm) when the situation requires it. So, feel free to approach him and/or ask to see his sonics for a laugh or two, though the song you get might be a little bit random]

[thisisgood]

Leela moves stealthily among the reindeer, like the hunter she is, a little bucket in hand procured from somewhere...else. It was not difficult to ask the TARDIS for other things that would be good for the animals and this home was hers as well. The TARDIS knew her well and she, too, knew the TARDIS and liked her well. So, she crept up next to Twelve and poked him rather gently in the side.

"I have other things for you to give the furry animals. It will be good."

And then she plunks herself down close to him, tugging at his sweater a little to get him to join her. These animals will not hurt them, clearly. They are well behaved. Leela opens up her hand to reveal tasty slices of mushrooms and many plants they would eat in the wild. Their scent is fresh, so wherever Leela got them somewhere in the maze of TARDIS rooms, she'd done it not long ago. A reindeer leans in to whuff at Leela, which blows her hair back, and she lets it take what it wishes.

"See?"

[bigbadrose]

[Snuggles!!!! Both reindeer and Doctor!!!]

Eeee!!! They're so cute!!!

[Both reindeer... And everyone else!]

Luna Lovegood l OTA

[radishearring]

Luna knocks via her wand since she's juggling a rather large box of cookies and other sweets. But the ice blue dress fits not just the season but her first holiday party in this world. She's also excited since she's spotted things she knows like the leg lamp thanks to a story from Fred and George.

[koishi_komeiji]

Luna fortunately had time to put her stuff down before a pair of green eyes became visible peering at her from across the room. They shifted and, in an instant, Koishi was right there. In her face. Smiling as huge as can be.

"Hello there!" Volume. And personal space. "My name is Koishi Komeiji. I'm a satori youkai. It's nice to meet you."

At least she was friendly?

Re: Luna Lovegood l OTA

[borntolove]

"Welcome to the Tardis, Miss Luna." Which Ten proceeds with a very hearts filled hug. Someone really came around since that Ball.

"Happy Christmas."

Jack l OTA

[captainspain]

Jack swooped into the room arms full of brightly colored packages and a jaunty red scarf around his neck. He deposits his armful near the other gifts and then grabs a drink taking a deep sip as he watches his family have fun.

[madcuriosity]

Alice watched Jack, finding him to be a very handsome gentleman and somewhat blushing at how that thought seemed to come out of nowhere as she nursed her hot chocolate. She made her way over to him before he set down all the packages.

"Ah, sir, do you need any help?"

Re: Jack l OTA

[faithfulpartner]

As Gwen swirls past she drops a kiss onto Jack's cheek, affectionate since she's married. "You're under mistletoe, least I think its mistletoe." she goes for the joke since in this case she can.

Koishi | OTA

[koishi_komeiji]

Before the Party
Koishi was doing what Koishi did best... Get into things she shouldn't. Moving decorations around, drifting through the console room, trying to bring in snow, talking to the crystal in the middle, attempting to 'explore' the TARDIS. Only to be foiled at every turn, of course. It was innocent enough. She just wanted to find the nice box lady.

At the Party
The little green youkai had brought plenty of gifts to the party. Presents poorly wrapped in wrinkled paper with too much tape. For the most part they contained chocolates and winter wear though a few presents stood out.

Koishi was also eyeing those Reindeer. Someone please tell her they're not for eating.

Fortunately there was an entire table of food to distract her and, upon approach, quite a few eastern foods and teas appeared. The little youkai also brought some oni sake since she wasn't exactly sure if the TARDIS could produce the supernatural brew. Though perhaps one of the doctors could point out some strange alien drinks for her to try.

Eventually she might start to wander again. But that's fine. The TARDIS would keep her out of trouble no doubt. Though she might be able to find her way into some interesting rooms.

[[ OOC: Reply and I'll mention here what Koishi gave as a present. Else you'll have to wait for the IC present meme. ]]

[bigbadrose]

Rose calmly steered Koishi away from the reindeer and towards the tuna hearts.

"Merry Christmas!! We've been working forever on these!! Don't expect them too often, yeah?"

Gwen Cooper l OTA

[faithfulpartner]

Gwen final gets her small army's worth of boxes on the table since she made a last minute run for tea, they run out fast! But she's dressed up but with a touch of rebel via nice sneakers in spite of the dress. But outside of helping as needed she's actually being social.

I'm so sorry for this. She just loves people.

[koishi_komeiji]

And were those boxes moving? Yes. yes they were. Someone was stacking them. Making some kind of multi colored present fort. Someone with glowing green eyes peering through a small gap.

Suddenly they vanished, a blur of white and green zipping up and back down a pair of tiny arms wrapping around Gwen and a cheek squishing into her arm.

"Hello there! Merry Christmas!" Clearly this had been the perfect ambush spot.

OTA for Lea

[hotheadwarmheart]

Console Room/Getting a bit lost

Lea's first thought was that this place felt weird. Not weird in a bad way; in fact, it was a rather pleasant sort of weird, which he though matched it well too its owner. But it was still weird. If he had to describe it, he'd say it felt as though someone was constantly peering over his shoulder or watching him with amusement. Maybe the Doctor had some kind of system of hidden cameras around the place? Sounded like something one of them might do if they got bored one day.

Regardless the big entrance room with its center console was a pretty interesting place. Looking at all the retro-looking buttons, knobs, switches, and assorted doodads, he was very tempted to push a few, just to see what they did. However, before temptation could get the better of him, Fireball tugged gently on his pants leg, reminding him of why they'd come.

Thus Lea and his two Pokémon headed down the hall towards the party. Or tried to, at least. He could swear they were moving forward, but no matter how much they walked (or floated in the case of his Honedge, Buster) they seemed to be no closer to the party. After a few minutes of this, Buster made a few annoyed noises. "We're not lost," Lea insisted to the Pokémon. The Doctor just neglected to tell me that he apparently lived in funhouse."

At the party

Lea had to admit, this put his little party to shame. How had the Doctor even gotten all these things in here? He highly doubted that the reindeer- actual, live reindeer!- would have fit through the door. And those twisty slides in the other room? Yeah, he'd have bee all over that and damn the mess had he been his pre-Nobody younger self. And even now he was sorely tempted to give one a try, despite the inevitable sticky mess.

The table centerpiece was... interesting, but again, it seemed to suit its owner's quirky personality. And the food was all delicious, though he could have sworn that that plate of sushi hadn't been there a moment ago. He'd definitely need to thank his host in amidst his attempts to socialize with those gathered there.

Lost!

[bigbadrose]

There's a giggle from Rose. "You'd be forgiven if you were lost!! The TARDIS is sentient and alive. She's always growing, so she's always changing too. She can't access the time vortex here, so she has extra fun with spacial dimensions."

Sakuya Izayoi | OTA

[sakuya_izayoi]

Arrival

Sakuya didn't expect to get invited to a Christmas party. Especially not from the Doctor(s) and crew. Though she suspected it was as much an apology as an invite. And considering what an embarrassment it had been for her (and with a little encouragement from her Mistress) she decided she better show face to hopefully clear up that first impression.

Dressed in a long decorative coat and crimson scarf she had decided to bring a bottle of wine and some various Christmas confections in a basket.

She knocked twice and opened the door stepping in to-

She blinked, realizing she was bracing against the inner doorway, several knives falling to the floor. She inclined her head slightly, another overwhelming sense of vertigo threatening to make her black out.

She was gripping spacetime so. very. tightly. Reeling it in and making it shimmer around her, staining her eyes a glowing red. And what was that noise?!?

Blinking against the spots in her eyes it slowly dawned on her how different the space was here. Expanded. Impossibly so. She took a deep breath as they began to clear. Other people were here. They were fine. They were...

Slowly she began to relax her metaphorical grip, letting the space slide smoothly back into place, though she doubled down on the pockets she carried with her. Reaching down with trembling fingers she collected her fallen knives, tucking them away once more.

So much for second tries at first impressions...

Party

Once at the party proper Sakuya began to relax far more. Having hung up her coat she was dressed in her black outfit with white pinstripes, though the skirt was longer than what she usually wore with it. She had to keep reminding herself she wasn't hosting, her maid training kicking in here and there.

Despite adapting quickly her eyes had not regained their greyish blue color, retaining their scarlet glow. She could be caught adjusting the cuffs and apron on her outfit here and there, spacetime occasionally rippling restlessly around her. Her eyes would sometimes fall to the console room.

Party

[goesagainst_thegrain]

The Doctor was both bored and unwilling to really interact with the rest of the party-goers; at this point, he's pretty much waiting for the time he can escape from the party without being rude. In the meantime, he needs some distraction. A new face is as good a one as any.

He comes up to her, not trying to sneak or walk quietly so as to not take her by surprise. He is wearing a blue-and-gold sweater, much less violently colored than his usual, but there is a lime green dinosaur being ridden by a Santa-like figure on the front.

"Hello miss, welcome to the TARDIS Christmas party. Was there something I could get you? There's plenty of food and other refreshments."

Erza Scarlet | OTA

[redhairedknight]

Arrival

Erza wasn't a social butterfly like Mirajane; whenever Rose or any of her friends had a party at Fairy Haven, she tended to keep her distance and observe. Still, when Mirajane asked her to come along, she couldn't say no.

Arriving in a relatively simple black dress, she looks around, a little surprised - while it's not unusual to see buildings that look much bigger on the inside, given how used she is to magic, she hasn't seen it done to this scale before.

Annoyance

Erza had heard a lot about the Doctor, but she was starting to get a little annoyed. When one person introduced himself as the Doctor, she had no problem with it. A second person had also been referred to as the Doctor, which was a little confusing. When she heard a third person being called the Doctor, she wasn't sure whether this "Doctor" was a shape-shifter or if this was all an elaborate prank, but either way, it was getting on her nerves.

Thankfully, she had long since mellowed out from the time where she would be head-butting people to get straight answers, but she still wants to find out the truth. If she spots someone, she'll make her way over with a slice of cake in hand, ready to interrogate them. "Which one of these people is actually the Doctor?"

...Odds are, she'll probably wind up asking the Doctor this at some point.

Appetizers

To say that Erza has a big sweet tooth is an understatement. She'll be going straight for slices of cake, of course, but she can't help but admire the sheer breadth of desserts that are available at this party.

She'll be making her way back to the table to try more of the desserts as the night goes on, even if she's not 100% sure about what some of the food here even is. Some of it looks like it's from another world, but as long as it's in the dessert section, she figures it's fine to eat.

Annoyance

[borntolove]

Her odds apparently are good; and happens to ask the blue pin striped suit with fluffy brown hair this question; "That would be me and the rest that told you that they're The Doctor."

OTA

[borntolove]

The Doctor meanwhile; is in his usual blue pinstripe but with blue Tardis Christmas lights twisted around his arms and along his back collar. As well as, a Santa hat ontop his head; with a pink paper crown around the Santa hat and is dashing around for last minute party preparations.

At certain times can be seen riding on the back of a real reindeer; around the Tardis and beyond the one room for the party.

He is also 'getting down' on the dance floor - which is really awful and a 'drunk giraffe dance but sober.


At some point someone is for sure coming back a sticky mess of melted chocolate and candy floss and licking that off of himself.

Or maybe you got lost in the Tardis and ended up in one of the many garden rooms of exotic plants from across the universe or the library (with the wooden desk that moves around; following the rain cloud that also does up in the upper shelves of the library)


Last but not least; outside in his just his blue pin stripe and making a snowball or building a snowman with his bare hands.

[madcuriosity]

Alice is indeed lost inside of the Tardis, but the Tardis probably knew of Alice's deep love for gardens and so she was quite content to lay in the grass of the garden, softly, and idly chatting to the flowers. She knew a few of the people at the party, but she felt out of place, everyone was an adult and she hadn't seen other children.

She had a little plate of cookies and some warm cider. She looked up when heard the door opened and turned to look at the Doctor. The reindeer that was beside her was currently lying down, asleep, seemingly content with just itself and Alice in the garden.

"Hello, Doctor. We always seem to meet in the garden," she offered as she fed another crumble of the cookie to the plant. She turned towards the reindeer and then tried to stand up, wiping off her red dress. "Oh ah... I'm sorry, am I not supposed to be in here?"

Belatedly, Satori Komeiji | OTA

[satori_komeiji]

[Arrival]

Satori has arrived to this party at Koishi's insistence and out of her odd friendship with the Doctor. Or rather, Doctors. She's met a couple of them, they're not humans even if they look similar enough and it's hard to keep Koishi away from meeting that 'box lady' she always mentions.

The mind-reader has dressed up a little in a warm and stylish purple sweater and scarf combo overlaid with a (homemade) dark coat lined with what seemed to be a very expensive wool-like material. It had taken her a while to shear it off her her Alpaca, but it was worth it. Now, to get inside that temporally-confusing box...

[Party]

Satori's mostly milling around the place and following Koishi about, though she'll probably stop by and have a chat with 10 if he shows up. As usual for a lot of events like these, she's wandering around a little between every station, watching people, picking up some snacks, making sure her sister didn't get into some kind of mischief, and so forth...

She seemed to gravitate towards the reindeer a few times, however, offering the animals some soft words of re-assurance in between her mingling, just in case they were a little troubled.

Re: Belatedly, Satori Komeiji | OTA

[borntolove]

Ten will be her arrival with answering the door - it is his idea after all to have the party. Minus those that have a key.

Which he's in his usual blue pin stripe suit with red sandshoes; tardis lights lighting up that dangle on his suit; santa hat ontop his head and sitting on a reindeer.

"Merry Christmas!"
