from a long sleep ( possible spoilers )

Would you look who it is! Believe it or not, I was beginning to miss Christmases popping 'round here, although -- it's a bit different, isn't it? Different domain, same general smell of discontent, ahhh, the dearest of muns. Look where we've ended up, hey? Has it really been five years? -- Well, no, not for me, but for you. Feels like barely a jump, doesn't it? Linear time: agonizing journey, bewildering destination. Or something. Hate it, personally. Don't recommend it.

So! Merry Christmas, terribly sorry about... the... right. Tears. Let's -- just not, for now. I'm much more interested in whether or not that cat of yours is even a cat at all. Anyone who fetches that much plastic can't possibly be up to any good. Let's? Let's!

Oh, lay off th' poor kitten, Doctor.

[not_from_mars]

Oh, he's fine. Orange and hairy and lazy and only mildly suspicious -- wait. Who are you?

[forever_sonic]

[Sweeping, dramatic bow.]

Sonic Screwdriver, always at yer service.

[not_from_mars]

The -- what? No. What? [ Let him just -- dig for his sonic. There it is. Let him just -- oh. ] No. How?

[forever_sonic]

Group of aliens - name escapes meh - thought it would hindah ye if yer Sonic gained sentience and a human form.

[She smirks.]

Shows wha' they know, aye?

[ofdrumsthesound]

The muns are far too weepy, I agree.

Good to see you, Doctor mine!

[supertemp]

'Least you haven't got to worry about enchanted mistletoe anymore, eh, Doctor? Just...cats, apparently.

[Yeah, she's giving you a dubious look.]

[not_from_mars]

Oh, I'm always worried about enchanted mistletoe. Always worried about cats, too. [ A brief 'ew'face, but come on -- he can't stifle that grin for long. DONNA! Hug incoming! ] It's you!

[supertemp]

What did cats ever do to you? Honestly.

[And she's more than happy to hug him back, because she's missed him quite a lot these last few years.]

Of course it's me! Dunno who else I'd be.

[...though, given the number of weird body swaps they went through back in the good old days...]

[the_maestro]

[Good lord. This one certainly can babble.]

A cat that isn't a cat, hm?

[not_from_mars]

Oh, yes! Far too intelligent. Collects detergent cups. Rather suspicious. [ Like YOU. ]

[the_maestro]

[He skews his eyes up for a moment, scanning through the encyclopedia that is his brain.] You're thinking it might be one of the shapeshifters of Agroia...Three or Four? Six, maybe?

[riverborntorun]

Your priorities continue to astound me, sweetie.

[not_theman_iwas]

Is the cat really that concerning?

[analytics]

( ohhh, so this is the doctor that jack told her all those stories about. )

They really like crying, don't they?
