θ 24

[bit_impossible]

[twenty-four hours has passed, the proverbial timer in the universe goes off, and much in the way that riku appeared, so does he, but mere feet away from the hole he jumped in the previous day. his clothes are even worse for the wear than when he first went in, small tears and cuts all over his beloved coat and suit.]

[but he's alive and starts to cough, his face tight as all at once pain shoots through every cell in his body. again his voice is strained, but he sounds happy despite it all.]

Fun ride. Don't think I'll be repeating that one again. [he tries to sit up, but immediately collapses right back on the ground and begins to laugh slightly, ignoring the pain. then suddenly stops.]

Hang on...same voice, [tentatively feels his face] same nose, sideburns, hair, mole between shoulder blades--Oh! And both hands! I like that! Glad that worked out!

[whispers to himself] But...I thought I'd died... I felt it! And yet I didn't regenerate... [his eyebrows furrow] How odd.

[turns to look over her shoulder at the pile behind her that's actually the Doctor, returned to life. She turns away again.]

If I were you, I'd run.

[bit_impossible]

[he laughs weakly, not surprised to hear her nearby] Wish I could. You planning to give me another walloping?

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

It's not me you should be worrying about.

[tofindhappiness.livejournal.com]

[Crouches down next to him, her face curious.]

Regenerate?

[bit_impossible]

Ohh, Oruha, hello! [grins broadly, doesn't exactly hear her question.]

[tofindhappiness.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back]

Hello, Doctor. You're looking . . . alive.

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

Doctor!

[bit_impossible]

[smiles weakly at her] Hello Haruhi!

[tsundereisms.livejournal.com]

You came back like Ollie said!

[claps her hands together, looking extremely pleased]

[hisoldgirl]

[she has been waiting by that hole since you jumped in, you know. so hi, guess who's really angry with you?]

[bit_impossible]

[practically feels the anger coming off her. he swallows, knowing he's in for it now] I suppose an apology wouldn't be enough this time, would it?

[hisoldgirl]

[know how angry she is? she's speaking to you in Gallifreyan. very, very angry Gallifreyan] You left me alone.

[Riku looks, understandably, quite furious]

[bit_impossible]

[sighs upon seeing his expression] You too, huh?

[dawnward.livejournal.com]

I would be lying if I said I was happy with what you did.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Doctor!

[He looks intensely relieved for a few seconds, then begins to look more than a little annoyed.]

Don't do that again.

[bit_impossible]

[smiles sheepishly] Nah, not planning on it. Wasn't as much fun as I hoped it would be.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Do you do this sort of thing often?

[teentramp.livejournal.com]

[golf claps]

[bit_impossible]

[shakes his head] Why yes, thank you. For my next act I'll...just lie here for a while longer.

[teentramp.livejournal.com]

Maybe another hole will eat you up again.

[ Jack is TENSE. You are lucky this is over-the-sphere communication, because he's gripping his arms as though to restrain himself from punching you. As you speak, his initial exuberant relief at the fact that you're alive fades into his usual cheery facade, but make no mistake; the Captain is majorly pissed off. ]

At this rate, you're gonna have me out of a job, Doctor.

[bit_impossible]

[just from the body language alone he can tell Jack's not terribly happy. he knows the man all to well.]

Well, I can safely say the job's yours to keep.

[distantspring.livejournal.com]

Y-you're back!

... Please don't do anything like that again-kamo!

[bit_impossible]

Oh, hello! [is slightly surprised by the new voice] I won't, Miss...?
