[ Eleven's talking and walking, device held aloft in between his fingers. Occasionally the screen dips so that all the viewer sees is his bowtie, but that's quite all right, it's a nice looking one. ]

Let me tell you, I've been wandering these streets all day and I have yet to find the one shop I'm looking for. Honestly, you'd think it'd be sign-posted or someone would have been able to point me in the right direction. Who doesn't want to buy funny shaped balloons? I've a real hankering for one like a crocodile. I think it would brighten the place up considerably and -.

[ At this, he turns a corner, and runs straight into the building. It's clearly one of those kitschy birthday places, fancy dress costumes in the window and streamers hanging from the door, lifting lightly in the breeze. ] A-ha.

[ Feeling rather victorious, the Doctor grabs the poor woman coming out of the shop and places a very loud smack of a kiss on her mouth. She looks amused, fortunately, but he immediately flails, flushes and drops his device. From above the sounds of traffic, you can just about hear him apologising profusely. ]

Honestly, I have no idea what came over me, I am terribly sorry.

( ooc: yep, victory kisses, do your worst )

[Whenever Eleven gets back from the party shop and delightful make-outs, he'll find Turlough in the main console room, tinkering with some electronics he pilfered from one of the many workshops in this place. He looks up when The Doctor comes in, but returns to whatever he's working on a clear better use of his time.]

Doctor.

[wearafeznow]

[ Here Turlough, he's just tying a balloon shaped like a cat around your chair. Hope you don't mind.

Also he kisses like three people on his way back, so please don't make him feel victory in any way.

But he's nosy, so. ] What have you got there?

action;

[rudeandginger]

I'm trying to add a decent camera to these things.

[When he gets closer he'll see that Turlough has the back off his device and has most of the innards exposed. He gives the balloon a skeptical look.]

Aren't you a little old for novelty part decorations, Doctor?

action;

[wearafeznow]

You're never too old for balloons, Turlough. [ Leaning over to peer at what he's doing. ]

Don't you like the one already attached?

[rudeandginger]

The Tardis found me a better one.

[He holds it up to the light, working on moving the wires.]

And it's not as if I've been flooded with things to do since I arrived here.

action;

[wearafeznow]

Well, that's what she does. She's a good old girl. [ He leans back against the console but keeps fidgeting because this one just can't keep still at all. ]

How about a job? Or do you have one?

action;

[rudeandginger]

I tried to find one when I first got here. I was not staying in the Welcome Centre. It reminded me of Brendon.

[He fidgets, remembering that this Doctor is decades older and knows all his secrets.]

Or army barracks. And then The Tardis showed up again so I really didn't need to.

[Raymond happens to be passing by when he sees the scene outside the party shop unfold. He's not entirely aware of the curse that's on today, but he's amused nevertheless.]

And here I thought you said you weren't looking.

action;

[wearafeznow]

I'm not. [ He waves his arms, watches the happy young woman wander off. ] I don't know what came over me, honestly.

action;

[saidrepent]

Well, I can't say I've ever seen anyone that excited to find a party store. [He's looking at the aforementioned shop now, but by the look on his face, he's definitely still amused.]

action;

[wearafeznow]

I -. [ Embarrassed. ] I believe this is one of those curse days, though I'm not quite sure what triggered it.

action;

[saidrepent]

[He shouldn't care enough to bother, and part of him really, truly doesn't, but now he's curious. He approaches, giving the shop another look.]

Don't see any mistletoe. [Because he remembers that curse only far too well.] Seems a little early for it, anyway.

action;

[wearafeznow]

Unless you're from Tarlan. They have mistletoe all year round. It grows everywhere, bursts up in every crack you can find. Pretty, until you get it in your shoes in the morning.

[ Why yes, he's babbling because he's nervous. ]

action; HAT LOVERS SEPARATED FROM ONE ANOTHER THEY BUILT A HAT SHOP SECRET HAT SHOT

[mrsnose]

[SECRET HAT SHOP SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET HAT SHOOOOP!!

As it turns out, today Sophie feels like making hats. It's been a while since she made her last shop, especially without the tools for it, but every now and then the need pops up. She was good at it. Provided she didn't chat the hats up, she could make a few people happy. Like, say, the owner of a hat store.]

Hello!

NOW A TAG THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE.

[wearafeznow]

Hello.

[ A friendly smile, a happy little wave. ] Wonderful weather today, isn't it?

:)

[mrsnose]

It rained a little...[Or maybe just on her house. Thank you, Howl.] But it's nice out, yes.

[wearafeznow]

And how are the hats? [ Because most important, okay? ]

[mrsnose]

Oh, they are well, I imagine. Say, do you still mind the hat shop in the City?

[wearafeznow]

I do, yes. We left for a month, but we're back now. Thankfully, all the hats are still there.

[Rose is out and about picking up a few things from the grocery when she sees the Doctor across the way. She waves at him and walks toward him.]

Plannin' a party of sorts?

[wearafeznow]

No, just trying to brighten the old shop up. [ He'd thought about maybe fake palm trees or something but is a tropical feel really what he's going for. ]

How are you today, Rose?

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah. Makes sense.

[Fake palms would be interesting at least.]

'm all right. You?

[wearafeznow]

I'm feeling rather glorious, actually. Despite the fact that there seems to be a curse on. [ Faint hint of colour to his cheeks. ] Try not to feel too victorious in front of people, you'll end up snogging the pants of them.

[ Pause. ] Well, not quite literally.

[iwasherefirst]

[That makes her laugh a bit.] Best everyone keep their pants on.

[wearafeznow]

I hope so. It's already been vaguely traumatic enough. Nobody wants to get an eyeful just walking down the street.

[ Then with a smile. ] Unless you're name is Jack Harkness, I suppose.
