001 [video]

[A smartly dressed figure is prodding at the PCD with a long metal tool, as if he's trying to work out just how it works. Nothing looks very out of the ordinary with him, aside from the splotch of crimson on his otherwise impeccably clean white dress shirt.]

It figures that humans can't do anything right. Such a simple set of instructions, and yet they still managed to foul that up! What godforsaken planet is this now? I hardly intend on being trapped here.

Something on this magnitude, though... I wonder if he had a hand in it. Oh, I wouldn't be surprised at all. He does like me so.

So, dearest Doctor. Are you hiding here or in your little TARDIS somewhere? I can't sense you, but no matter. You're no different than me when it comes to tricks. Come out, come out, our business isn't quite finished yet!

Nice to meet you. I'm Usagi. Tsukino Usagi, but just call me Usagi.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

A pleasure, Usagi.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm sorry! You were looking for a doctor. Are you injured? I can help you get to the clinic.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Not a doctor. The Doctor. I take it that he's yet to make his usual grand appearance.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Well, there's Unohana-san. She does most of the medical treatment.

[Yeah. Not really getting it.]

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

Oh, forget it. I'm certain that he'll be here soon enough.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

If your friend is here, I'm sure he'll find you soon.

[Finally, she starts to realize he really means someone specific.]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Oh, he will.

He always does.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Mm. It's like that for me with my friends, too. [If only she knew how completely off-base she was.]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

It's so comforting to have someone so reliable, isn't it?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I think so. Especially somewhere like this, the friends we have help us keep going.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[Smile!] I would imagine so.

Only a matter of time.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

For right now, do you need anything? Do you have somewhere to stay? There's the clinic; a lot of people stay there until they find somewhere else.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

I'll have to take a look, then. I hardly want to sleep on the streets, after all.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

No one has to do that.
