[ The Doctor simply nods to the dreamer as they find themselves in The TARDIS console room. He's flying around the console, as par usual, hitting random things and random dials. Sitting on his head is a cowboy hat. Somehow, it just works with the bowtie, suspenders and green coat. Don't ask. ]

Right then! I've got a special treat in mind. [ He

Gots me a 2!

[ It's another trip in the TARDIS. Usagi absolutely loves the rides provided by the ship and the Doctor and she can't exactly complain too much.

Although, she can't help but stare at that cowboy hat sitting on his head. So when he finally pauses in his huge explanation about what they're doing tonight, she has to perk up before he can start rambling again. ]

What day is that?

[ She pauses. ] And do I get a hat?

[thatoldthatkind]

Spoilers.

[ He reaches up and tips his hat. ] Do you want a hat? You can get one in the wardrobe.

[herlonelystar]

[ At first, she pouts because he's not telling her what day they're going to be visiting.. but her expression lightens up considerably. Like that, she's bolting upstairs so she can find the wardrobe but then stops at the top to look down. ]

... where's the wardrobe again? Eheh...

[thatoldthatkind]

[ A sigh. He gestures to one of the hallways. Honestly, it's a dream, so she doesn't need the long direction list. ]

4. Make it beautiful, Doctor <3

[waterfell]

[Really, Doctor? Mercury gives him that half-amused, half-quizzical what are you up to now? look. Her eyes follow the cowboy hat. Well, she's the last person to criticize fashion.]

You've gone through quite a production to arrange this. [Which, perhaps, is flattering.] I won't ask where it is, but make it the best, alright?

[This is perhaps about as relaxed as she can be expected to be. She seems comfortable inside the TARDIS, this odd space that isn't quite belonging to any world. And she's always longed to see new places.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ Really. ]

Or I'm easily bored. Let's go with the production arranging. [ He eyes what she's wearing. ] You can be a bit more festive than that, can't you? Dresses. Girls like dresses, don't you?

[waterfell]

[Her body shimmers in a blue aura with an impression of black rose petals, and Ami emerges in Mercury's place, dressed quite well.]

Is this what you want?

[thatoldthatkind]

Well... it just give is a bit of a better message. You know. [ Evil dark soldiers around on Christmas? Not such a good idea. ]

Survey says 5!

[stillherown]

[ The easiest way to date how long it's been since Romana's last trip in this TARDIS was to note the desktop theme. It was a new one for her. Just like the Doctor, the TARDIS seemed to also be in the habit of changing.

Refraining from making any sort of comment at least for the moment about his choice of hat, she wandered along beside the controls, finger tips brushing over the controls ever so gently, making sure to be careful to not accidentally trigger a switch or button. Her right eyebrow arched, her expression curious, as she looked to him. ]

Are you certain you'll be able to get the time right for once?

[thatoldthatkind]

[ And, the Doctor lets her. Honestly, Romana knows how to fly a TARDIS better than him. ]

How can I get it wrong? It's a randomizer!

[stillherown]

[ That's because she read the manual. ]

Well, you are an extraordinary Time Lord, Doctor. You can do things that no others can.

[ And she'll wait for the one to sink in and fully register. In the meantime she simply smiles and watches him. ]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ THEY DON'T EXIST. ]

Is that a compliment?

3. Let's go~

[bishonenbunny]

[He's honestly surprised. He hasn't really celebrated Christmas since he was a kid, not since his parents died, and now, here's this stranger in a cowboy hat telling him that he'll understand when they land.

When they land?]

Where are we going? [Oh, god. DID KOTETSU PUT YOU UP TO THIS...]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ The Doctor stops and looks at the man. Hm. He's new--ah well, the more the merrier! He grins and jumps over to him, offering his hand. ]

Hello! I'm the Doctor.

[bishonenbunny]

[Well, he'd better be polite, then. He puts on his best smile and shakes the offered hand.]

I'm Barnaby Brooks Junior. It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor...

[He trails off.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ He gives him a good shake. ]

Nice to meet you too, Barnaby! Do people ever shorten it? Barny!

rolled a 4

[no_hometown]

Hello again. [Sephiroth isn't too surprised to find himself here, his gaze lingering on the interesting alien technology again.]

A special day? And what might that be? [He doesn't ordinarily celebrate holidays. He's spent most of his life at war, and he has no family to speak of.]

Randomly? [That strikes him as a risky prospect, considering the nature of the vessel.] You think that would be preferable to a plan?

[thatoldthatkind]

Ah, General. Hello. [ Let's just say they exchanged names, yes? ]

Oh--you'll probably know once we see it. Otherwise this is going to be very awkward. [ The Doctor grins. ] It's always preferable!

[no_hometown]

[That's fine with me!]

What kind of day could remain constant throughout time and space?

I would be concerned that a vessel capable of randomly landing anywhere or any-when could make its way to some unpleasant destinations. [He might be a little too sensible at times.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ It just makes life easier~ ]

I guess it's not so obvious at first. Depending on where you're from. Which, if you think about it, is kind of sad.

She's old!
