Backdated to the day after the mission | Video

[ Always a video with this guy and as he normally does, he fixes his bow tie. ]

Hullo! Not seeing any sign otherwise so I think it's safe to assume we're all back safe and sound. Which is excellent-however this last mission I think took a lot more than normal for everyone so if you were injured, feeling a little more fatigued or just generally off then I'd like you to come by the medical carriage for a quick check up!

I'm very good at it and I promise it won't take but a tick and you can get back to whatever else it is you do on the train.

Just let me know if you're coming and I'll make time.

Oh, I should probably mention, for those that don't know-I'm the Doctor.

[ And the video feed shows Ifrit - demon horns made of black stone, but otherwise mostly normal human looking. If the Doctor has been teaching classes to the kids and such, then he probably recognizes her. ]

Oi, I thought you were more of a "make stuff" Doctor than a white coat Doctor. Which one is it?

[usernamesarecool]

Is there a reason I can't be both? I'm a Doctor of Everything-of everyone. Hence why I'm called The Doctor. Leads to a very busy life.

[oripyrothy]

Eeeeh, is becoming a doctor really that easy?

[ Sure, she might sound condescending, but really it's because the only person she knows that does both is her mother figure, Silence. It's hard to compare other people to Silence because Silence is better than everybody else, you know? ]

[For the most part, Nita has been Out Of It since coming back on the train, but she does manage to catch this post and say:]

You got a checkup yourself, though, right?

... And for the record, I'm fine, I just need rest.

[Audio]

[usernamesarecool]

Yeah, of course. I'm absolutely sorted. But you're sounding a little defensive there, Nita. Are you sure you don't need a quick check up?

Re: [Audio]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita's feed is audio, otherwise the Doctor could see her roll her eyes.]

I'm sure. Worst I got on-world has healed already; no broken bones or anything.

Just exhaustion.

Action!

Spark saw the network post and nearly jumped out of his fur. He didn't bother replying, he ran for the medical carriage and then the small orange cat skidded to a stop at the feet of the Doctor, staring up at him wide eyed.

Okay, so he didn't know this face, but he recognized it, he'd seen the image before. And now that he was here... yes. The scent was a little off what he expected, but it was close enough.

It was him. It was the Doctor! He tried to remember the mural, remember the order. This was the one after... After Ten. He would not cry. Cats did not cry. They didn't. That was why he had another form. Or rather, mostly what he used his human form for in the absence of Adrien or Nino... or Rose or the Doctor.

Did he stay and talk to him as Spark? Did he go off and change where no one could see him and come back as Gar? What should he do?

Nita remembered him. But the De Nile kid and that Zelda girl didn't. What would he do if the Doctor didn't remember him? He wasn't sure.

Hesitating, the small orange cat was unaware that he was sitting frozen staring up at the man for quite as long as he was....

[usernamesarecool]

Oh. Well, that's a cat. He did say he could give check ups and that wouldn't not extend to a cat. Alright then.

"Yes, hello. You seem a bit over excited-oh, are you alright?"

[death_from_above]

Well that wasn't a voice he knew, but he expected that. Nine and three sounded nothing at all alike, after all. But part of him had been hoping that whatever the voice, it would have been saying his name.

He hopped up onto an exam table so that he could be closer to eye level. His shoulders hunched slightly as he studied that new face. "Do you remember me, Doctor?" he asked, trying not to sound as vulnerable as he felt. But he knew this was the face after Ten if the mural was correct, and Ten was one of the four people in all of Nautilus to know all of his secrets. Ten, Rose, Adrien, Nino. That was it. The only people he could be every bit of himself with.

The Doctor had to remember him. Had to.

Right?

[dredefulchilde]

I stayed on the train.

[usernamesarecool]

Oh! Good for you! One less person for me to have to worry about.

That doesn't mean you don't get a check up though-you're do for another. Come by in about erm... thirty minutes?

[Crowley doesn't know enough about medicine to have properly helped the woman he saved from her fall in the caves, but if this man is a doctor, it's probably a good thing he's on board. Perhaps worthy of a response, even, which is something quite rare from the demon unless he's truly feeling up to something.]

Do you have room for another? She might have made her way to you by now, but I'd be surprised if it was without help.

video

[usernamesarecool]

Yes, most likely. If it's an emergency I can see her right away-sounds like a bit of an emergency-and-oh dear....

[ He frowns at the screen. Is that... him? Probably not. He doesn't remember this even vaguely and the hair's wrong. Something's up here. ]

Erm, what was her name?

video

[agathokakological]

[Crowley winces, shaking his head.]

Never been good at names, mate. I'd know her if I saw her.

[burntlikethesun]

[Always audio, because who wants to broadcast their face to the whole bloody train? It's not like she has anything to hide...]

You should maybe mention that that's your name and not just your job title.

[If she sounds tired, it's probably because she's brought this up before with another him.]

audio

[usernamesarecool]

Hullo, Rose!

[ even if she doesn't show her face, he'd recognize her voice anywhere. ]

And it's sort of both now. At least on the train. ...Still not sure how that happened but I've got patients now-several of them as a matter of of fact. [ Until an actual medical professional turns up. Martha or Rory would be magnificent. ]

Do you want a check up?

[burntlikethesun]

True. [ faintly amused ] Hello, Dr Doctor.

With anyone else, that'd be a terrible pickup line.

[ Up there with "I think you need a Doctor". ]

[loveandduty]

You know, I had always been told that orange was one of the safer teams. So finding out they were in the middle of it all was not exactly fun.

[She didn't actually care but putting on the whole just a normal girl means she is not going to be happy about it.]

Re: video;

[usernamesarecool]

Ah yes, I can see how that might be a bit a damper on your mood. But I'm free about... oh, an hour? I should be available then.

[unholyandbroken]

After I smoke?

[usernamesarecool]

I would prefer if you didn't smoke, but yes. That can be arranged.

[redarrowqueen]

Just bruises, I'll be fine.

[usernamesarecool]

Being as we were all on a different planet, I think it'd be best for everyone to come by for a quick physical.

Although, I am a bit booked for the next few hours.

[wizard_redfive]

It took more than usual? How bad was it?

[Hi, Doctor. Someone had given her the impression that everything worked out just fine. Please elaborate.]

[schrodingersghost]

So.... what exactly is involved in one of these check-ups?

[He was totally not saying that he'd been hurt during the last mission. But he'd kind of gotten clawed up on his back. A bit. And it was kind of awkward trying to treat that himself. ]
