Big Bang Three!

WHO: [livejournal.com profile] daft_old_man and EVERYONE!
WHERE: The TARDIS house
WHEN: Forward dated to July 4th
WARNINGS: The Doctor is in charge of the fireworks. Enough said.
SUMMARY: Wherein the Doctor and Jack spend all their money on a big old party! Sorry Ian -_-;
FORMAT: Whatever folks want! It's a free for all!



The Doctor hopped around the house making sure everything was to his satisfaction. There were streamers and balloons filling every nook and cranny and all of it was especially tacky and wonderful! Humans sure knew how to make decoration!!

The small backyard managed to fit two bounce houses (a castle and a water based bounce house), and inflatable pool entirely too small for adults, and the grills. There was the danger of someone bouncing into the pool but the Doctor saw that as more opportunity for fun! Inside there was food on every flat surface and downstairs where once the aquacat pool was now was ready for dancing! Even if no one showed the Doctor was going to have a good time!

Of course the real show started at sundown with the Doctor's own firework show helped along with human gunpowder and Time Lord know-how. Hope someone has the fire department on speed dial!

Rapunzel had seen the Doctor's invitation for a party on the Network, and had decided that she probably needed to get out of the apartment rather badly. Unfortunately, the forced removal of her hair had apparently taken a little bit of the poor things confidence as well, so she was standing near the edge of the yard, one arm curled in front of her waist to hook her other arm as she peered around. Pascal was seated on her shoulder, eying the folks that came close to her.

She'd probably open up eventually...frankly, dancing would be hard to resist for long, for Rapunzel, but for the moment she was just sort of watching everyone in a little bit of a daze.

Pym was running about, exploring every inch of the going ons of the party. He'd never really celebrated the 4th of July like this. Of course he knew it was Independence Day but he was raised in a dome in the Arctic Circle.

He skidded to a stop once he came across someone who didn't look very excited to be at a party. And what was that on her shoulder?

Pym pointed at the green animal. "What's that?"

Oh, a little kid. Rapunzel was pretty sure she could deal with kids, at least. She just seemed to...get along with them very well, for some reason. She smiled at his question and crouched down, holding out her arm.

"He's a chameleon," she said, as Pascal scampered down her arm to give the boy a closer look. "His name is Pascal."

"A chameleon? Does that mean he can change color?" Pym leaned in close, lifting a finger and cautiously bringing it towards Pascal, like he was going to poke him but hesitant the reptile might try to eat his hand. "Where did you find him?"
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - It worked it worked!)

"Yeah, of course," she patted Rapunzel on the head, and he scrunched up a bit and changed to mimic the pink of her dress. And then he faded back to green after a second.

"He found me. When I was little. He's been my friend my whole life!"

[identity profile] tinytechhead.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Pym's face lit up when Pascal changed colors. "Cool! I bet he makes the ultimate spy!" Pym suddenly got the mental picture of shrinking and riding the chameleon into a pretend battle. But maybe not since he didn't seem to move super fast.

"Does that mean he came with you from home? Or did you find him here and you've been here a really really long time?"
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - Happy with Pascal.)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-03 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"He came with me from home, yes." She wasn't sure about the spy bit, but she was sure about that. She shook her head though.

"I've only been here a few months. What about you?"

[identity profile] tinytechhead.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Me too! My brother's been here for a lot longer. Time travel is really crazy because he wasn't missing back home at all!"

Pym tentatively patted Pascal lightly on the head, curious about what his skin felt like. "So if this is Pascal, what's your name? I'm Pym!"

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-03 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Pascal didn't seem to mind the pat, and felt rather like a lizard, really. Rapunzel kept her arm out, and the chameleon good-naturedly let himself get stared at.

"It's nice to meet you, Pym! I'm Rapunzel."

"Why are you standing all the way over here by yourself?" he asked, tilting his head to the side a little.

Jack was on his way to grab some food before heading back to the basement -- and who was he to ignore a pretty girl, after all? This one looked nervous, though, so he'd better be gentle.

"Hi," he said with a little wave, stopping nearby. "Welcome to the party! I think I've seen you around the network before, right? I'm Jack."
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - huh?)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-03 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Rapunzel smiled weakly up at Jack and nodded her head. He looked familiar too, she thought, though the network made sense. She watched it a bunch. And he was...surprisingly cute, really, so she had noticed him.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Rapunzel." Her smile settled a bit more firmly once she was talking. She wanted to relax, it was just taking a little time.

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you, too. You doing okay, over here?" he asked, and gestured to the general area Rapunzel was standing in. "I could bring you some food, or something, if you don't want to navigate the crowds just yet. Or there's dancing, downstairs." He nodded to the house.

"It's cooler, and there's not a ton of people down there yet either."

Rapunzel seemed to light up a bit at the mention of dancing, though she was still obviously nervous, shifting a bit on her bare feet. "I just haven't been around a lot of people since the..." She trailed off, and unconsciously reached up to tug on some of her shirt hair for a moment. "Since the thing." She finally finished lamely.

"But I do love dancing."

"It's okay, we don't bite," Jack promised, giving her a small reassuring smile. "It's great music, too," he continued. "I should know, I picked all of it out myself."
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - huh?)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-03 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Rapunzel smiled back, and managed to draw in a breath and make herself feel a bit more confident about the whole thing. He was nice. Other people would probably be nice. Most imports had been nice to her, and no one knew who had...

No, she wasn't going to think about that.

"Is it like the music that was at Prom?" That was her main introduction to modern music, really. That and Giselle's flash-dance. She liked some of it and didn't like others. You couldn't sing a lot of it, it was all talking and shouting, and she couldn't get behind that.

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I don't know," he replied, shrugging. "I didn't go, but a friend of mine did." A little pause. "But if that was modern music, and it probably was, then this is a bit different. It's from about -- 60 years ago, actually. Great to dance to."
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - Thrilled)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-04 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! I've never heard music from then." Rapunzel couldn't hide a bit of her excitement, and she finally smiled again.

"Okay. I'll come listen, then. I can't stand here forever."

He approached with his dog Digby leashed by his side. He saw she had a friend too. And just as he was about to open his mouth to greet her, Digby started barking.

"Sorry," he managed, only grimacing a little. "He's usually much more well-behaved. I think he wanted to say hello to your friend."
paints_lanterns: (Short Hair - Happy with Pascal.)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-04 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Woah," Rapunzel took a step back from the animal, not for fear of it but simply because it was barking the way it was. She usually got on so well with animals. Pascal hurried over to her neck, hiding behind her and peering out with just his big eyes.

"You stop that," she stated firmly to the dog, before looking up at his owner. "It's okay. But Pascal won't come out if he thinks he's going to get eaten."

[identity profile] stressbaking.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Immediately stopping his approach, Digby sat down at Rapunzel's order, panting cheerfully up at the pair.

"I promise, he's not dangerous. Nor would he harm another living creature."
paints_lanterns: (Talking to pascal)

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-04 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Rapunzel considered the dog carefully, and then turned her attention to Pascal, gently urging him off her shoulder and into the palms of her hands. "He promises he won't bite," she said to the chameleon, who chittered back at her. "You know I wouldn't let you get hurt, Pascal." More chittering, and a vague chameleon hand-wave gesture. "No, it will be fine. Relax."

She turned her attention back to the other two, and lowered hands enough that Digby could see Pascal, eye-to-eye. The Chameleon did not looked thrilled.

[identity profile] stressbaking.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Digby pushed his nose against the chameleon, sniffing at him before setting back and giving a dog-like grin. But then he got up, moving to Rapunzel's side to greet her now. Ned let him have a bit of slack on the leash, watching it unfold.

"Do you speak chameleon?" he asked very seriously.

[personal profile] paints_lanterns 2011-07-05 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
After being sniffed some, Pascal scampered back up Rapunzel's arm, and the girl leaned over to give the dog a scratch behind the ears.

"No, but I understand it." She paused. "Well, I understand Pascal. I don't know if I understand other chameleons, I've never really met one."

[identity profile] stressbaking.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"You must have spent a lot of time with him." He looked down at the creature. "I think I understand Digby too." He should after twenty years, he surmised.
