Good afternoon, everyone. This is the Fifth Doctor, speaking, and, yes, I’m quite done making a fool of myself. As some of you may be aware, the twenty-fifth of May is a minor holiday on some versions of Earth, and far more celebrated in other planets across the galaxy as the birthday of one Adam Douglas, the author of the Vagrant’s Guide to the Universe. But instead of just calling it a birthday, they call it Towel Day. And why is that, exactly?
[The sound of a snapping towel precedes Eleven’s ever so cheerful voice] Because one should never be without their towel. It’s quite a useful thing, you know, you never know what you may need it for! [slight pause as he smirks at Five] Even in space.
Couldn’t resist, could you. [he sighs] Barbs at my misfortune aside, everyone, it’s a lovely day, so bring your favorite towel - if you haven’t one, then wish one up - and meet us outside on the lawn! We’re having a picnic, you see, and there are a million and one uses for a towel at a picnic.
VWOOOOOORP.
... Including aiding in catching parrots who’ve been here a year to the day. Thank you for reminding us, Tardy.
And for those of you who prefer practical uses to creative ones, the pool in my TARDIS is open for business. As long as Delirium doesn’t mind sharing for the day, of course... I cleared out all that jello, didn’t I?... [ahem.] We’ll be outside all day, so come by and join us, won’t you?
((OOC: Clearly, this post is open like an open thing. come on out and play!))
