[19] --> I really fucked it up this time, didn't I my dear

[coolbowtie]

[Voice-addressed to the Weeping Angels]

[After returning everyone home from Westport, The Doctor's voice comes over the phone lines, surprisingly filled with bravado in comparison to his miserable appearance the past week]You lot. Yeah, you, angels. I know you can hear me and will get the message out to those that can't. I have a deal for you,

[She is waiting outside his house, watching with perfect blankness as he makes his way home after his rounds. When he is within earshot, her eyes will meet his in an unflickering stare before she breaks it with a nod.]

Thank you.

[This was important. With that said, she will turn towards the direction of her home and begin to walk away.]

[He blinks after her for a bit before replying]

No, thank you. You really... you really saved everyone with your information.

[bogusmagicker]

[She will pause.]

. . . My abilities were insufficient; my information, incomplete. I am in your debt.

[coolbowtie]

Can't really be in debt for stopping a problem I caused, sorry. So, no.

action post final phone call

[lotuslife]

[actually... rings the doorbell this time]

[coolbowtie]

[W-who are you, what have you done with Vietnam. ;A; Okay but seriously, there's shuffling from the inside, but no answer]

[lotuslife]

[slips inside anyway!]

[coolbowtie]

[The Doctor is in his room which is mostly just filled with... random crap. Like toasters, parts of an oven, a car engine.

The Doctor himself is lying in a hardly ever used bed and he jerks into a sitting position when Vietnam enters]

...Ah, Sen.

[nothing_is_grey]

I plan on taking you up on that offer.

[coolbowtie]

Actually, I was hoping everyone would forget about it by then. Humans tend to do that.

[He groans]

[nothing_is_grey]

Then it is fortunate I am not, and my job encourages remembering things.

I understand you have had a difficult time, but, there are still answers I would like. Of course, rest is important and I can wait for you to feel better before having a discussion.

[coolbowtie]

[He sighs]

What happened to you this week? Were you harmed by the angels?

[Phone]

[worstvikingever]

Uh... thanks. For helping me out. For... helping us all.

That's... that's all I wanted to say, just wanted to make sure I got to thank you at some point.

Anyway yeah, just... I hope you get some rest, you deserve it.

[coolbowtie]

...Were...

The angels...

Did you escape?

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, Susan... I mean. Miss Susan. Or whatever. She ran into me and brought me back to her place.

[coolbowtie]

But before that?

phone;

[enviousmath]

...Thank you.

[That's all she'll say really. He deserves it, so might as well give it to him.]

[coolbowtie]

No, don't thank me. Not this time.

[enviousmath]

...You are the reason they were brought here, right? Not directly, but indirectly. Yet you helped us. You deserve credit for that.

[coolbowtie]

[He's silent except for a bit of coughing, surprised that people aren't blaming him for the angels in the first place]

Right, I suppose I...

Thanks. Couldn't just leave everyone without any help.
