Good morning, everyone - Fifth Doctor, here. I trust you're all having a pleasant morning...?

I hear a good number of us are setting out on Felix Harrowgate's expedition to Lente's Point, this week, and while I've volunteered my TARDIS to bring us out to the Dead Zone, I'm afraid I'll need a few volunteers for preparation. In the past, I've taken stable animals in the TARDIS as well, so that we have alternate transportation for those who either cannot or prefer not to travel on foot - and so that we can bring supply carts with us, as well. I've got those stables and carts reconfigured - they're moving into place off the console room as I speak. Thank you, old girl, always such a help.

What I need are a few able-bodied individuals with decent animal husbandry skills to meet me down near the stables so that I can move the animals into the TARDIS and get them settled down for the trip. Also, if you have an animal of your own that you're planning on brinning, a pet or a mount that will need accomodations, please let me know here, and I'll be certain they'll be provided for.

Thank you for your time - and I'll see you all at the departure!

[there is now a separate thread here for those who wish to help with the livestock in person! have at! threadjack at will.]

I've ridden a horse or two in my time. Does that qualify me?

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

River, my dear, I've a feeling you're qualified for more things than I could even begin to count.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I may be able to be of some assistance. [Because, you know- elves, nature, horses- it's a thing.]

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful! [he is SO PLEASED to hear from you. his psychic bff, hooray!] Will you be joining us?

How fast does your TARDIS move?

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Well, normally, that's entirely relative. It moves along the timestream, generally. But since using the mean path tracker's limited substantially here ... I'm limited to disappearing in one spot and reappearing in the next within a moment or so. If need be, I could tamper with the materialization settings and cut a corner or two off of that time, but for safety's sake? Ten seconds.

This is exactly my area of expertise, Doctor.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Daine! Yes, I thought I'd remembered as such. Glad to hear it's not your loss. Shall we meet at the stables?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I plan to bring my dragon horse, Doctor. I do hope the TARDIS has room, but I imagine I can simply ride him out otherwise if you keep the TARDIS to a reasonable pace.

But on this note, I can meet you at the TARDIS to help with loading animals.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

We've plenty of room for your dragon-horse, Ashura, believe me. [mun forgets, has he ever been in one of the TARDII?] I'd be glad to bring her down to the stables - there are already a couple others who're going to help, as well.

Um... I have a question. What's a tardis?

[The voice sounds vaguely familiar... she can't quite place it, yet, though.]

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Ah! That's my ship. Her name's an acronym, really: stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. You're a voice I don't recognize, I'm afraid. Who might you be?

[vaguely familiar? interesting. on top of that, though, he sounds friendly enough, too]

Edward doesn't know if Edward is going on the trip this time...

Edward

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Oh, no? ... Whyever not? [he's pretty sure he's got a good idea - last year it wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows by the end - but this is Edward, too. the reason may be completely different]

This thread ... is STABLE

[the TARDIS vworps into place a comfortable distance from the stables - close enough to maneuver the animals to her doors, but far enough away so that it won't spook them. Five strolls out, rolls up his hat, and tucks it away in his coat as he waits for his helpers to arrive]

[variare.livejournal.com]

...Animals, huh?

/matching icons, GO

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Well, yes! It won't be the first time we've had them along, you know that. I trust you're joining us?

[perpetualized]

Living in the eighteenth century has given me more than enough experience with horses to be helpful, plus I know the way around the TARDIS pretty well. Unless your older model has a different floor plan.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

She does, yes - quite different, but you're more than welcome to come visit, nevertheless. ... Are you coming along on the expedition, too, Jack?
