[ Ten hasn't slept since he was helping Santa rescue reindeer, but he was so immersed in whatever he had been doing in the lobby that he missed when his present appeared. However, some time around noon he gets up from his seat on a bench and there's the sound of familiar mechanics whirring back and forth. So, clearly, he has to go look where this

[ Rikku was just walking by and heard talking, and of course she had to investigate. Seeing the metal dog she gasped, running toward him, giggling. ]

Someone else has a form of machina!

[thosethatrun]

[ Both Ten and K-9 look up at Rikku curiously. ]

Machina?

[hyper_thief]

Yeah! Kinda like him! [ Points to K-9. ] He doesn't look like any I've created though... Or any other Al-Bhed, for that matter.

[thosethatrun]

[ K-9 twitches his ears and tail and Ten puts his hand on his head. ] K-9's pretty unique.

[not_theman_iwas]

[Colour her intrigued.]

What is that?

[thosethatrun]

This is K-9. If your timeline is anything like mine, you'll run into him sometime in your next regeneration. K-9, say hello to an alternate version of my third self.

Hello. [ Ear twitch. ]

[not_theman_iwas]

[She can't see that, but she hears it, and has a feeling she ought to see this in person.]

Hello, K-9.

-Where are you?

[thosethatrun]

In the lobby. If you want to come here I can show you the cat, too.

[encryptedlock]

[there are some sounds of disbelief]

K-9? Your robot dog thing?

[thosethatrun]

Oi! He's not a thing! H--

... you know K-9?

[encryptedlock]

We have heard of him. There were a number of files in the TARDIS associated with artificial intelligence.

[thosethatrun]

Yep, K-9 would be there.

I am not counted as a companion, Master? I am a good dog.

'Course you are! Doesn't mean you can't have two files. Anyways. Yes, I've got K-9. And he's got a friend, apparently. Seems the castle was keen on giving people gifts for the holidays.

[fishy_go_byebye]

Like the girl with that other girl from ages ago?

[thosethatrun]

[ Normally he can get the general gist of what Del's saying. Right now? He's just confused. ]

The who with the who now?

[fishy_go_byebye]

Nevermind. [That happens to everyone sometimes]

Is she fluffy?

[thosethatrun]

Very fluffy. Hopefully she doesn't shed inside the TARDIS.
