[And once again, it is noon on meeting day in Patrol headquarters. There's a big open meeting room space, tables in the middle, a projector on the ceiling, computers in the walls. It is shiny, high-tech, clean, and full of a lot more people than last time. Yuan is already here before anyone else arrives, getting papers laid out and shuffled around. He seems tense, but satisfied. Things are finally coming together.]

((ooc: Please wait to tag until sections are up, thanks! Actually, go ahead and tag away in each section as it goes up. Threadjack lots! We're all in the same room, so jump in wherever you want.))

[elbows you right back, and hisses under her breath]

What?

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

Don't stare.

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

[gives him a NO SERIOUSLY look]

Look at his suit! It's just like the Doctor's! From before!

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

[puts a hand on her knee]

I know.

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

[now it's an EXCUSE ME? look]

What do you mean, you know?

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

[amazingly, he remains calm in the face of this, and simply gives her knee a squeeze]

I met him. When he was ... here before, or whatever. [tiny grin] I couldn't believe it either.

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

[obviously, it's because he's used to it]

What are the chances of some random guy wearing the Doctor's suit?

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

[lightbulb over head switches on]

Oh! Oh. That's not some random bloke, Amy. That's the Doctor, the actual proper Raggedy Doctor. Well--the suit, anyway.

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

[what the actual fuck. Cue eyeball tennis]

No. ...really?

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

[he nods]

Yep. That's him ... the one before ours, anyway. [Doctor tenses are so confusing]

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

[okay, now she's openly staring, like she's trying to reconcile that skinny piece of nothing with her first memory of the Doctor. It's freaking bizarre]

I've talked to him, just not... seen him.

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

If it makes you feel any better I stared a bit too when I first met him. [squeezes her knee again in a silent effort to get her to turn back around] It's ... weird, seeing it not looking a mess and torn up, yeah?

[too-fairytale.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Really weird.

[your efforts are in vain, son]

[at which point he just sighs and gives up, because if Ay wants to stare no amount of nagging and needling from him is going to stop her. So he just sighs quietly and leans back in his seat, giving her knee one last squeeze before returning his hand to his lap]

You'll get used to it.
