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!

"I think I like it the way it is." She tilts her head, considering. "You already have the blue thing working for you, best not to get too busy."

He continues playing with his hair. "I wore it longer last year, but it was more silly ponytail than flowing mane."

This prompts Buffy to play with her own hair. "I've been thinking about cutting mine."

[professorlionface]

He folds his hands back in his lap and glances her way. "Not satisfied with it as it is, currently?"

"It's okay. I just think I need - a change?" She sounds unsure even to herself, hands dropping back to her own lap. Didn't peter and she agree, no haircuts?

[professorlionface]

He gives her a thoughtful look. "Perhaps it's not about the hair at all, but just a general feeling of stagnation that's expressing itself in this small way."

[slayerpreferred.livejournal.com]

"Stagnation is a nice word for whatever this is." She hadn't meant to say it but she didn't bother taking it back, letting it hang in the air as she looked up at the night sky in idle fascination.

"The nice thing about the situation created by this place is that you no longer necessarily need to be defined by who you were before, what you did. Most of us have the opportunity for a fresh start." Heaven knows he took it.

"I don't really know what to do with this freshness," she admitted, frowning a little and still not making eye contact. "I've always been defined by my me-ness, my Buffyness. And my Slayerness. If I'm not one, how can I even be the other?"

[professorlionface]

He thought about this for a moment. "You don't necessarily have to become a different person, but you have the option of finding a new way of expressing the person you've always been, merely unbounded by absent duties."
