Visit to the Beach (Open)

The Doctor wandered a while longer throughout the TARDIS, but as usual, found himself opening the door to the console room once again. He wandered about the center controls, running a hand along the edge, as if he could coax it like a canine to play along. He came to one panel and paused. Had that indicator been there before? He would have

Now that Barbara was covered up adequately, all the feathers were out of her hair, and the paint washed off her face, she decided that it might be best if she had some time away from Ian. Just for a short while. So she walked the corridors of the TARDIS and tried to think of all the things she could do to better occupy her mind.

But of course, she found herself in the console room. Again.

She went to turn and leave but a rather interesting looking gentleman was talking to himself in the corner. In past experiences on board the TARDIS, it wasn't always wise to talk with people she hadn't met before whilst being on her own. This was, however, the Guardians' TARDIS, not all of time and space, and she still wasn't certain if she believed whether or not the Master was as terrible as people were saying.

((I can't remember if they've met or not...I think they have but let's just say she can only see part of what he's wearing. Or we can do a whole new introduction))

((They have already met, and since it's dark and we can say he's hiding behind the main part of the console there's no need for a new post. ;) ))

Hiding was indeed the right term for what he was doing as he pulled out his half-moon spectacles and peered down at the console, before looking up. She was mostly obscured from his view with the console between them but he straightened up with a smile.

"Hello again!" It felt like it had been a while since they'd run into each other in the pub. How long ago had it been? He honestly didn't care at the moment. It was just nice to have a familiar face around, one that wasn't the Master. He looked around and found the lights, raising them a little so they weren't lurking in the dark.

"Doctor," she smiled warmly in greeting. It was still strange to call him that, considering he wasn't an elderly man with a walking stick and grumpy attitude.

"...what are you doing?" Barbara asked, risking a couple of steps toward him.

"Just indulging a little curiosity." He smiled warmly and waved her over. While he was't entirely amused at the sudden appearance of a new feature on the console, he still wanted to show Barbara and see her reaction. "The Guardians appear to have provided a map of our location ." He pokes at the map and moves it to demonstrate how to manipulate it. "I can't determine where we've landed without going outside, but considering the roads, I would estimate there is a small population on this island. Perhaps a modest level of technology, even."
