[005 | video]
Anyone know how to fight a dinosaur?
[Someone got out on the wrong side of the velociraptor-susceptible bed this morning. Shirtless and rumpled and bleeding all over the toilet cistern he's sitting on, Luke's having the worst sleepover ever.
But there is a moment of peace in which to make this whispered video, and so he tacks on a maudlin revelation.]
America's stuff's disappeared. That means he's really gone, doesn't it?
[He knows it does. Doesn't stop him hoping someone will tell him otherwise.
Something heavy slams into the bathroom door, and Luke jerks back, staring for one, two tense seconds as he waits to recreate the worst scene in Jurassic Park. Outside, that shit-stirring little reptile is hissing and screeching like the smug bastard he is. He knows what he does.]
But the dinosaur's free. And mad. The dinosaur's really mad. Help. Please.
[Someone. Before he has to start surviving off toothpaste and soap flakes.]

action - aren't we though? XD /facepalm
[ Unless he's saying they're enemies, but he thought at first that Luke looked like a friendly enough person. ]
It's a start, though, and now that you've got me, I know we can get something that will lift things bigger than a robotic dog.
[ For now, he's not questioning how Luke knows about K-9. It's enough that he knows. ]
Looks like I'll have to begin testing out the closets and see what they can give me.
action
[He makes a split-second decision to spill the beans on this one thing. Then he cringes, half-expecting a lecture about breaking time. His mum would have so many lectures for him right now.]
Last time- no, first time you were here, you got so much alien stuff from them they broke. I don't think anyone's ever broken the closets in this place.
[And he desperately tries to hold back his laughter at the old Doctor's misfortune.] They should've given you an award.
action
[ It's a bit of a conundrum in that he understands the why of it, but it baffles him a bit all the same. ]
What's your mum's name?
[ He laughs too, amused by Luke's description of his previous antics. Well, not his, exactly, but another him. Or something. ]
I can't say much about breaking them, but come on: a thing that gives us anything we want? Why shouldn't I experiment with it a bit?
[ And he's already begun that, asking it for things. Carefully, for now, because he'd rather it stay working for as long as possible. ]
What a grand award that would be. The Doctor, champion closet-breaker.
[ He might be outright laughing now, because that just sounds hilarious. ]
action
Sarah Jane. You remember her, right?
[Time travel or global amnesia? It's hard to know with the Doctor. But the laughter is infectious and cheers him up like nothing else. He's never seen the Doctor laugh like that and it's amazing how light it makes him feel. The closest he's ever seen was that moment on video, right after they'd stopped the Daleks. Afterwards he'd been serious and frowny and his mum definitely knew why but wouldn't tell him. He starts laughing right along with him.]
Maybe for you! Bit dangerous for the rest of us to go around poking alien technology we know nothing about. Seriously, America did that and that's how he got all those dinosaurs in the first place.
action
No, you're Sarah Jane's son? [ Oh, he remembers her. He remembers her so well.
And granted, it feels like it's been a long time since he was able to laugh like that. There hasn't been much to laugh about or smile at recently, so it does feel good. ]
Well, then, maybe you shouldn't be poking about! [ He's half-kidding. ]
There's an easy solution to that, you know. If you come across any bits of alien technology that you don't know anything about, just bring those bits to me and we'll figure it out together.
