[ The video starts with a pan in on someone wearing tight trousers and big, stomping boots. Whoever it is, skips along three pavement slabs, and then hops to the middle of the next one, stands on his tiptoes and wavers. ]

Oh come on, that's not the right point. Nine hundred years old and I should be able to skip a point fourteen. What kind of person am I? Honestly.

[ It's very much the Doctor's voice, and he sighs, starts jumping again. ] I don't know why, but I just can't get the number out of my head. [ 1, 2, 3, wavering slightly on the fourth again. ] I made three cups of tea today, filled up the fourth up only a little bit. Good thing too, I like to think even I can't drink that much tea. A full fourth might've been pushing it. Maybe that's why I can't keep still.

[ Skip. Hop. Jump. Wobble. ] Oh c'mon. This is awful. Why can't I get this right at all?

Big house on the beach, doors on your dogs. [ Pause. ] Dogs on your doors. Hello Mercedes Thompson, I'm the Doctor. I'll just pop over, shall I?

[coyote_walking]

Another Doctor?

Well, come on over. It will be nice to meet another one of you.

Especially if you'll eat up some of my cookies.

[wearafeznow]

Ooh, we're like Pokémon here. Gotta collect them all. [ Still grinning. ] Most definitely. Save me some.

[ End feed, begin travelling to. ]

[coyote_walking]

Great. I think I'm up to three now!

Do you come with trading cards?

Just come on in the house when you get here, I'm in the kitchen.

[wearafeznow]

No, but that's something we should look into. Special edition foil and all of that.

[coyote_walking]

Absolutely - with the stuff that makes them look like they are moving!

[wearafeznow]

Ooh, 3D. I'm sure we could figure something out.

[coyote_walking]

We could sell them at my magic shop. Or you all could carry them wherever you go and hand them out whenever you meet someone new.

[wearafeznow]

There's a magic shop?

[coyote_walking]

There is. I sort of inherited one. Not that I do magic myself.

This is more a sort of magic supplies store.

[wearafeznow]

So I cannot actually buy a rabbit in a top hat then? Well, I suppose I already have the top hat.

[coyote_walking]

Sorry, not in my store.

Do you do magic tricks?

[wearafeznow]

No, but I was thinking about starting. I run a hat store and a detective agency.

[livingmyths]

Really? A hat store and a detective agency... How interesting.

I think that's a first among the Doctor's I've met.

Well, if you decide to start up, feel free to come by and demonstrate for me!

[wearafeznow]

Maybe I will.

[ Oh look, he’s reached your house. Time for cookies. ] Knock, knock.

[Mercy opened the door to welcome him in.]

Hello, Doctor. You can probably follow your nose to the kitchen. I hope you brought your appetite!
