Big Bang Three!

[daft_old_man]

WHO: 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!

Hank only knows a handful of people here, so he's feeling a little awkward. Chilling on the sidelines, sipping a beer gingerly. Hard for a guy like him to be completely invisible, though.

[daft_old_man]

He's still running around, but even the Doctor can't ignore a giant catman especially when said catman is fantastically blue! Grabbing a banana daquari he smiles widely as he approaches. "Hello! Hope you're having a smashing time!"

Sipping the daquari he pauses before spitting out the drink back into the glass. "Hmm, new taste buds, sorry."

[professorlionface]

Hank gives him an inquisitive look. "Oh? And what happened to the old ones?"

[daft_old_man]

"Radiation poisoning. Not the best death, but at least I had time to see my friends." He talks like dying and gaining new taste buds are a perfectly normal occurrence, which for him it is. "I'm the Doctor!"

[professorlionface]

"I see..." It took a minute to click, but he supposed it wasn't impossible. He didn't remember a Doctor who was this young however, but it's not like he'd had opportunity to pay much attention to the television in the months before he arrived.

Nonetheless, he offered one of his large paws. "Dr. Henry McCoy, though I'm more frequently called Hank."

Not really noticing the giant blue furry guy at first, she stumbles, half knocking into him. Oh, so that was a person... Not a chair, like she had originally thought. "Hi, I'm Buffy." She sits down next to him. "Why are you sitting over here all alone?"

[professorlionface]

Oh whoops. Um, okay, he'll see what this is even about. "No particular reason. I simply realized I'm at a party largely populated by people I don't know."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Me too. But I have an excuse, I'm newish. You're just blueish, is that your excuse?" she blinks owlishly up at him as if this is the most serious question anyone has ever asked.

[professorlionface]

He's even less sure what to make of that! "No, this is simply a circle I don't often run in, I believe."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Oh." She seems to contemplate that, staring at her own ankles. "Then why did you come?"

[professorlionface]

Well, that was a good question. "I couldn't say exactly. I suppose I enjoyed the prospect of meeting new people, perhaps."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"But then you sat here all alone." It kind of made her sad.

[fliesacomet260.livejournal.com]

Tonks bumps into Hank, literally bumps into him because she's just tripped over an untied shoelace. "Oomph! Sorry." No, no. She's not drunk. She's just Tonks.

[professorlionface]

Well, this certainly seems to be the day for it. He catches her by her shoulders and helps her back to her feet. "No, that's alright. Are you okay?"

[fliesacomet260.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Tonks rights herself and then her spectacular, glittery red hat. "You know," she says after looking him over, "I think I had a stuffed toy like you once."

[professorlionface]

Huh. He's certainly not unlike a teddy bear, he supposes. "Well, I'm certainly not stuffed, fortunately." On the other hand, maybe he should look into getting some food.

[fliesacomet260.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry. I spoke before I could think." She holds out her hand. "I'm Tonks."

[professorlionface]

He gives her a firm and friendly handshake. "Dr. Henry McCoy. You're friends with Mr. Lupin, correct? I believe I met an earlier iteration who was her in December, however briefly."

[fliesacomet260.livejournal.com]

"I know Remus. D'you work with him?" It strikes her as slightly amusing that someone would address Remus as Mister Lupin and not Remus or Professor. She can't say why that is, however. "Yeah. I was told that there'd been another me in the city. It's a bit strange. I don't remember it at all, wish I did though." Because there isn't a sight more heartbreaking than a disappointed Luna Lovegood.

Despite living in the house they're all currently partying in, Ian is really in the same situation. He hasn't been in the City long enough to make a whole lot of acquaintances.

And, proper English gentleman though he may be, he's also somewhat used to chilling with unusual-looking people. So it's with considerable ease that he ends up standing near Hank, nibbling shamelessly from a plate loaded with snack food.

"This turned out nicer than I expected," he says. Just a friendly way of making conversation.

[professorlionface]

Hank gave him a smirk. "Not exactly your kind of holiday, I'd imagine."

[abdocted.livejournal.com]

Ian chuckled in return. "I suppose I'm not terribly patriotic, but I've got enough of an appreciation of history to enjoy it. Besides, look at all the food!"

He might not look like it, but Ian can put away some serious foodage when he's in the mood.

[professorlionface]

"Oh, the assortment of victuals has always been the most appealing part of this occasion! Perhaps even partly responsible for inspiring my appearance."

With his size, it wouldn't be much surprise to anyone how fond Hank is of food, though he has nearly the same affinity with preparing it.

[abdocted.livejournal.com]

"Is there a better reason to attend a party? I think not."

He would mention the fireworks but since the Doctor's in charge of them he's dubious about the safety involved.

[professorlionface]

"One could make an argument for the benefits of socializing." But then, he wasn't feeling terribly social at the moment.
