Well, Christmas didn't pass quite the way I expected it would. I mean, who could be prepared for a trip to Paris? Or a job as head of security at a museum.

But I digress. It's time for presents.

( The Doctors )

To quote an old song, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

[River's outside, bundled up in a comfortable coat, just sitting outside on a bench with her journal perched in her hands. Watching people run about and play in the fluffy, white snow]

This will be my first Christmas here at the castle. I wonder what this place has in store for us...

I ( Read more... )

Oh my head...

[Guess who's back from the Libet expedition? She's tucked away in the TARDIS with a pack of frozen peas pressed to her throbbing head. Because the Doctor obviously only stores the strangest of foods in his kitchen]

Well, despite the minor head injury, I'd have to say the expedition was an exciting adventure. Tombs and near death ( Read more... )

Remember, remember  the 5th of November. Seems like this place never fails to intrigue and baffle us, doesn't it?

[Not that she minds. Anything that can catch and hold her interest is usually a welcome distraction from those few days when there's nothing except boredom awaiting her]

Never a boring moment.  Although it's not my most favorite of ( Read more... )

In the spirit of Halloween, which is one of my favorite holidays mind you, I've decided to hold a little Halloween party. I'll be holding it inside the Ballroom and costumes are required in order to get in ( Read more... )

TARDIS FILTER:

Doctor? Preferably the bow tie Doctor - I have a favor to ask of you. Well, I suppose it's not really a favor so much as a request. Get back to me as soon as you can.

POND FILTER:

Amy? Rory? I feel like we should all gather together and have a little picnic. Just the three of us - the Ponds. I know things have been awkward lately, but ( Read more... )

[Well, she'd woken up back in her own bed with all of her old memories returned to her. It seemed that the castle had decided she will not be remembering the past two weeks she'd spent growing from a screaming baby back into an adult. Taking out her journal, she decides to write a little something today]

Well now, I'm feeling extremely well rested. ( Read more... )

[ Room 609 ]

[ It had been a long trip around the castle, especially finding ways of keeping the young girl entertained. They'd been to the kitchen, the library (which hadn't lasted long due to its size) and after trying to find other places in the castle Helen had eventually taken River back to James's room where it would be easier to keep her in ( Read more... )

[River had always had a penchant for trouble and mischief. She drove her poor parents up a wall with her stunts and her dangerously playful games. It wasn't her fault that she had this innate, almost instinctual need to crawl into the strangest places. Instead of running from scary things, little River always seemed to run straight at them. She was ( Read more... )

[dictated]

[over the journal comes the sound of a small child's laughter and the harassed, tired-sounding voice of a young man]

River, please give that back. I've already said it's mine, not yours.

Mine!

No, sweetheart, it's mine. Here, let's have it.

No!

[long-suffering sigh] River ...

My book. Mummy has yours.

No, she doesn't. You don't even have one. ( Read more... )
