PARADISA LOST

Who: The Fifth Doctor and YOU!
What: Cleaning up the mess ...
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Room 1102, in and around both TARDII
Rating: YMMV if your character has a potty mouth. Otherwise, PG.


The Doctor had noticed the damage right off, of course, but cosmetic vandalism was slight in the face of other possible threats. Now that he was certain that everyone had returned unharmed, for the most part, however, he was setting about cleaning things up. Galadriel was taking care of the other worry on his mind - Lente and Flora - and he intended to check up on her in a little while, but for the most part, it seemed like cleaning was the best course of action.

With his other self out of commission again - and likely to wake up with new memories, as he seemed to every once in a while - Five decided to do Eleven a solid and clean off both TARDII in one go. This would need an awful lot of soap, though. He'd brought a large wooden cask out into the room proper and filled it with water - no buckets, out of newfound consideration for the trolls - and filled it with warm, soapy water. That being done, he began to scrub away the graffiti.

On the whole, it read simple, mundane things, the sort of insults you'd expect from childish vandals: crude drawings of genitalia, a scrawl of "Doctor WHO?" that was so old-hat that it was just plain ignorable, and a number of other things.

Curiously, though, two words stood out on both ships, in a decidedly different color of spray paint: tick t0ck.

Five paused in his scrubbing and stood back, hooking one hand in his pocket. "Well, that's odd."

[Filtered Away From First Generation]

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.]

[TARDIS Filter - Five's TARDIS]

[Five's busying himself in his lab, poking around at the project that he and Mohinder have been working on ... when, suddenly, it hits him, like a bolt out of the blue: a sharp, sudden pain like electricity arcing between his hearts.]

AAH--!

[he clutches at his chest with one hand, and grips the edge of the counter with the other, as his knees threaten to buckle]

Nngh ... [the pain doesn't go away, this time, not like it usually does, and he grits his teeth, breathing heavily, trying to ride it out]

... not again ...!

[anyone in the TARDIS - Yuan, York, Eleven ... or any companions with a key who could've come wandering are welcome to come and find him. otherwise, he'll just keep this bout of temporal cardioversion to himself ... and be on edge about just about everything until the castle puts him to sleep on Wednesday ...]

[Scientists Familiar With Human Biology]

It's occurring to me more and more that I can't come to a full comprehension of Paradisa and its wiles until I've got a proper understanding of its inhabitants. Would any of you be willing to answer a few questions on human biology? I've only a rudimentary knowledge, and while it's a start for hypotheses, I'm afraid I'll need a bit more than that.

[satisfied with a proper start to his plan, Five will take up his notebook and go for a walk, in search of a place with a comfy seat near a sunny window. those sort of locations are best suited for research, after all - and anyone is more than welcome to run into him in the process!]

((OOC: Yep, another one affected by Eris' miniplot loss thingie. Have at him!))
