[You can watch this weird guy in the park setting up which looks like... well it doesn't really look like anything recognizable. Just a mix of random pieces of household items somehow held together to make some sort of device]

[desolavi]

[ oh. wow. after a couple minutes of shameless, silent staring, he's going to get up and -- walk a bit closer. not too close, lingering an armslength away. but -- a bit closer. hands jammed in his pockets as he studies whatever's being set up here here. ]

[coolbowtie]

Hold this!

[The Doctor is suddenly shoving a piece of something into his hand]

[desolavi]

What --

[ fumbles momentarily but manages not to drop whatever it is. uh. he'll just -- stand there stiffly, holding it in both hands. ]

[coolbowtie]

[The Doctor fiddles a bit more with his contraption, tighting screws with a small wrench before he shifts and turns to the boy]

Alright, you, take what you're holding and stick it in here-[He gestures to a slot on the... machine]-while I start it up and see if she goes. Come on then!

[desolavi]

[ a pause. well, nothing to lose. cautiously slots the part into whatever this -- thing is. he sounds a bit wary, though, when he asks, ]

-- what exactly are you trying to make?

[coolbowtie]

[He pulls out another object from his pocket and flicks it on, it emits a strange noise and the light on the end flickers. And the machine he made turns on as well, making a soft whirring noise]

Ah this old thing? It just makes tea. It also might double as a toaster but that bit is still a bit funny sometimes. Nearly burnt down the kitchen.

[desolavi]

So you ... brought it out to the park to test it. [ he sounds skeptical as he takes a careful step back. the word 'burnt down' makes him a bit tense. ]

Wouldn't it be easier to just make tea on the stove?

[coolbowtie]

Yes, well, unfortunately, I've used the kettle for something else. So! Tea machine it is.

[desolavi]

Are you some sort of mechanic or something? Or do you just make machines for fun.

[coolbowtie]

Well, I don't plan on just sitting around all day, so! I've taken up this as a hobby.

[desolavi]

Still seems like a lot of trouble just for tea, though.

[coolbowtie]

Well, we're very British in my house. We like our tea. Not that I'm really British, but I do enjoy tea!
