On dusting off the muse

[allthecoolgear]

 Ah, hello! Been a while since you dragged me out, eh? What's it been, three years? Or two? 

Yeah, two.

I don't know why you're bothering, to be honest. You haven't got the time to put me in a game anymore. Wasn't it just a couple of hours ago, you were complaining about all the reading you had to do for school?

Still, might be fun, eh? Like old times.

Sometimes just missing us is enough to get some air though, isn't it?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Hi there!

[shieldofrohan]

Muns, it seems, are oft careless of such things. [She smiles, a little wryly] I am living proof of that.

[allthecoolgear]

That's true. I'm not complaining, honestly. I like being out!

I just didn't think it would happen, based on her complaining.

AHH HELLO

[allthecoolgear]

(He blinks, then grins.)

Hello. Been a while, eh?

[allthecoolgear]

Oh? Does yours complain about homework as well? Gets a bit old, doesn't it.

[shieldofrohan]

Homework, illness, family...

All fair concerns, 'tis true, but none of mine, and I would sooner they dealt with their issues than held me here as entertainment in the meantime.

[fairytale_traveller]

Doctor. Good to see you out and about, as they say. I've missed you, raggedy man.

[allthecoolgear]

Ah, sometimes it's not as cut and dry as just 'dealing with it'...

I feel the sentiment, though. I do get quite bored.

[allthecoolgear]

(He grins widely.)

Pond!

(He's going to hug you now if that's cool.)

I've missed you, too!

[fairytale_traveller]

[Of course it's cool. She loves you, man. As a close friend could. You're practically like family to her.]

What's been keeping you hiding away from me then?

[allthecoolgear]

Oh, you know. Fighting monsters, saving the day, helping with homework. The usual.

[fairytale_traveller]

Helping with homework? Seriously? That doesn't sound like the dangerous you I know of. [She'll now be pulling you into a hug, raggedy man.]

[allthecoolgear]

Aw, c'mon, I'm good at helping with homework! I was a teacher, once, you know. (He's gonna hug you 5ever! He's good at hugs, too!)

[fairytale_traveller]

I can see you as a maths teacher right now, with your tweed suit and bowtie. [She is teasing, as she thinks you look rather sexy with it all.] I'm guessing your mundane is still at school then?

[allthecoolgear]

I taught Physics, actually! This was a while ago, though. Before I had my impeccable fashion sense. (He straightens his bowtie.)

Yes, she goes to Uni. An art and theater student!

[fairytale_traveller]

Physics? Oh, I was useless at that whilst at school. [She was more into P.E and art, herself.] Of course. The bowtie does look good on you though. No one else. [She straightened it after he did.]

Mine just works now, as he's finished Uni and everything. He likes art too, which is something.

[allthecoolgear]

That's because bowties are cool. (He grins.)

Mine does part-time at an afterschool care. Art, though! Always good.

[fairytale_traveller]

You and your bowties. You're probably the only person I can think of that can pull one off and look ok.

That sounds like fun. So, raggedy man.....where will you take me? Somewhere into the stars?

[allthecoolgear]

Oh, I don't think so! What about, um... Bill Nye! The science guy! He wears a bowtie!

I'll take you wherever you like, Pond! A trip to see Vincent, a beach on Jayboar 3, you name it!

[fairytale_traveller]

He was ok, I guess. But a bit old. Too much like an old school teacher I used to have. [She doesn't want to view you as some old school teacher, Doctor.]

Ooh really? How about a distant planet in the future with an awesome bar, which does exotic cocktails?

[allthecoolgear]

I'm old and a teacher! So what does that make me?

I can think of several of those! Let's go collect Rory and go! (He takes your hand and rushes off toward the TARDIS.)

[fairytale_traveller]

I don't actually know. How about....old, eccentric but young-looking mad man? [She didn't even know if that made sense or not.]

Rory? I was talking about just you and me, Doctor. Rory's busy with the night shift at the hospital. I liked it when it was just you and me, travelling the stars together.

[allthecoolgear]

(He nods.) Those things are all true. (He pauses.) I don't look that young, do I?

(He stops.) Oh. Well, we can do that too. (He grins.) A Doctor-Amy trip! Just like old times.

[fairytale_traveller]

You do look young. You act like a five year old on e-numbers most of the time. [She playfully elbowed him in the ribs.]

Just you, me and the TARDIS. That's all I want.
