[ You get a very cheery Doctor waving at you all, beaming brightly. This has been the most exciting part of his month, okay, don't judge him

[Oh! Oh this could almost be fun! She nods. What an interesting way to meet someone.]

Do you understand English? Or should I play, too?

[timey_wimey]

[ he nods and gives her a thumbs up before he holds up a doodle of himself with a speech bubble containing the Earth, with a arrow pointing from that to a duck, and with another arrow pointing from the duck to another speechbubble containing a scribble. translation: he can speak everything usually, but the community is playing silly buggers and making everything he says come out as his native language. ]

[negative_five]

All right. [She nods.] In that case, what a terribly unfortunate time to meet someone! My name is Rachel Berry. What language is it that you're speaking?

[timey_wimey]

[ he smiles and waves as she says her name, then doodles himself, writes an equals sign, then doodles a stethoscope next to that to try and illustrate his name. at her language question though, he frowns, not sure how to explain. in the end, he settles for drawing her a speech bubble with a little alien head inside it. ]

[...Did he seriously just chirp at the community? She's not gonna lie, she's having trouble deciding if that's fascinating or just overwhelmingly cute. So she's just not going to comment on it.]

I've always been rubbish at charades. Can you still write in other languages, then? [For once it comes in handy that she only speaks one language anyway. Handy-ish.]

[timey_wimey]

[ he shakes his head, and then to illustrate, he writes with hand motions that are undeniably English... aaaand holds up the whiteboard to reveal it still looks like Gallifreyan circle writing. nope, the community's decided it's going to play at being a Bad TARDIS Translator. ]

[Video] Oh, LJ, you and your rascally notifs.

[lone_defender]

[She purses her lips in disappointment.]

Right, be too easy yeah? But you can understand me, and pictures don't go all...[She waves her hand. Timey?] right?

[Video] Tell me about it, I didn't get the one for that comment for ages :|

[timey_wimey]

[ He nods and gives her a thumbs-up, because yup, that's exactly right. To illustrate (quite literally), he does a silly little doodle of himself with a banana and a goofy grin, waving. ]

[voice... out of habit and all]

[killerbaseball]

Is... Is that your native tongue, Doctor? [SHELLY IS SECRETLY MARVELLED.]

[video forever on this end!]

[timey_wimey]

[ he nods, the sort of nod that would be a verbal "yup!" ]

Aaand it figures notifs would break now

[killerbaseball]

It is quite... unique.

Notifs! o9

[timey_wimey]

[ he doodles a little alien head, then holds it up with a face that would be a little bit of a "duh?" expression if there ever was one. ]

[video] I-I am oddly excited about this

[docfoul]

[It is a very good thing that Scratch's lack of a face makes his expression effectively indecipherable.

Because he's realising he does not understand this strange language at all and beginning to panic a little.]

[video] this is going to be BEAUTIFUL.

[timey_wimey]

[ the Doctor's pretty good at body language.

... even cueball body language. he takes his whiteboard and writes "?" on it. ... and just to screw with scratch a little, he asks "is there something wrong?" in that same bird-string-mess. because scratch's reaction was a bit extreme, to say the least. ]

[video]

[docfoul]

[Nope, he can still totally find a way to assert his superiority. Namely... his own very particular way of speaking.]

[I was hoping we would meet under different circumstances, Doctor.]

[video]

[timey_wimey]

[ pfft he is the Doctor, highlighting text is no matter to him. after doing that, he draws a little doodle of doc scratch with a question mark next to it. who's he, then? ]

[reloadfromsave]

ゲーム？

[timey_wimey]

[ nod nod! he draws himself, then a speech bubble coming from him, and then a pen and paper inside the speech bubble. this is the only way he can talk to people while the community plays silly buggers with everyone's ability to understand him. ]

[reloadfromsave]

鳥にように。。。ああ。

[ can he understand her? who knows! So she turns on the video to show herself holding up a doodle of a bird. ]

[timey_wimey]

[ he tilts his head, then he nods and grins a bit sheepishly. yep, he supposes he does, really.

... for kicks he doodles himself with wings instead of arms and a speech bubble with a musical note in. because why on earth not. ]
