[The image on the screen shows the (Second) Doctor in the library, scanning some titles on the shelves. He pulls out a book and scans through all the pages.]

Not the most original escape plan. Still, it does work for the plot. I wonder if anyone could recommend a good title.

I was hoping so.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

But that would make your lives easier.

[That's from Alec. He quietly side-steps another stomp on his foot.]

Maybe you should write one.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

I really don't have the patience for writing a book. Not when there's so much to see and do.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

You could write it while you go.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes, I suppose you're right. If I could sit still long enough.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

[Alec has pulled a book off the shelf and flipped through the pages some what disinterestedly. Looking over his shoulder he offers a suggestion.]

You should get like a recording thingy. You talk into it and then it'll translate what you say into written words. I've seen those before.

Or get a minion to do it for you!

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well that might not be such a bad idea. Do either of you write anything?

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

I'm dyslexic and only here for the weekend.

[Laruna gives him a bit of a glare.]

Even if you do watch over me all the time.

[He shrugs.]

I can watch you. I can't watch him.

[That earns an eyeroll.]

What do you mean by write? Like stories?

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, yes I suppose. I'm sure you have more than quite a few to tell. Maybe some old stories from home?

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

Oh. That sounds lovely!

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

You don't suppose there are any books in here from your home do you?

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

[Laruna glances over at Alec for this question, which might seem a bit odd.

He frowns and stares up at the stacks of books.]

Maybe. Though there probably wouldn't be that many.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Perhaps not, but I'm sure there are some title here that are of interest.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

Lemme check.

[And Alec vanishes without a trace.]

I hate when he does that. Are there any from your world here?

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

I highly doubt it. My people don't tend to lend their work anywhere.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

But it might have appeared here much like you have.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

It's possible. Heaven knows I nicked a few before I left.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

And they may just be copies of the books back home. So it's not so much nicked as mirrored.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes. Well, there are certain books my lot tend to keep under very tight lock and key. I should hope there aren't copies of them anywhere else.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

Dangerous? Like could they steal your soul and place in their pages?

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Perhaps...if they're old enough, I wouldn't be surprised if they had such properties.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

I've heard of books like that before. In stories.

[And Alec reappears,looking triumphant and holding a thin book bound in leather.]

Hah! I found one.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Jumps a little startled.]

Good heavens. I could use some advance warning. I'm not as young as I used to be.

Re: Action

[water_wine_wizard]

But not as old as you're going to be.

[Alec says that almost absently.]

But I apologize. I didn't mean to startle you.

[Laruna takes the book.]

Which did you find? Oh! The fairy tales one that momma used to read to us.

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Wonders what the boy meant.]

Ah yes. I remember reading fairy tales to my granddaughter. She was quite fond of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
