[voice]

No, you're not allowed in the TARDIS. No, you can't just take a quick look. And no scribbling on this box or I will make you wash it off. I'm not kidding.

[ ooc: Voice/video/action all welcome! Come help the Doctor defend the TARDIS ahahaha. Or be the problem. ]

[leathered]

[ The Doctor is not exactly pleased by what happened. He gives them both a disapproving look. ]

They say sense comes with age but I'm never sure that's true.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

Well, they shouldn't design these things only for tall people!

[ That was said to Iroh, but he soon turns on the Doctor with a critical eye. ]

You should talk. I don't know who you are, but I sense that in only slightly different circumstances you would be the one behind this wheel.







[ Totally isn't bluffing or anything. ]

action;

[o_tea_p]

It has done wonders for my sense of adventure.

[INNOCENT SMILE]

But I think I should take the wheel again.

[sideying Clef]

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ A scruffy head pops up from the backseat, the faded color of her blind eyes immediately evident. ]

Hey, it's my turn!

[ She grins. ]

action;

[o_tea_p]

[Possibly at the same time as Clef]

NO.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

[ YES DEFINITELY AT THE SAME TIME. ]


... Besides which, I think I'm getting the hang of this.

action;

[o_tea_p]

But you haven't gotten any taller.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

That just means there's more of a learning curve.

[ a beat ]

I actually could get taller, if I really wanted to.

action;

[leathered]

[ The Doctor has been observing this exchange with lifting eyebrows. ]

I think you should let me drive, in fact.

[ He is clearly the best alternative between the two children and the man in old-fashioned Asian clothing. ]

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

[ raises an eyebrow ]

One does not simply ask for the steering wheel.

action;

[o_tea_p]

Not without giving a name, at least!

action;

[leathered]

I'm the Doctor, hello! [ He waves. ] And that is my TARDIS, which you nearly crashed into.

[ He points toward his lovely blue box. ]

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

What's a TARDIS? [ cranes his neck to see out the windshield ]

It looks like a blue box.

action;

[leathered]

[ The Doctor looks a little offended. ]

Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. She's my ship. The blue box is a disguise.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

[ blinks ]

Oh. So it's a traveling subspace dimensional pocket, in the shape of a blue box. Nice!

action;

[leathered]

[ The Doctor squints at the probably-not-a-child boy. ]

Not --

[ He'd like to say "not at all," because it's not fair when you take the wind out of his sails, but Clef is sort of right. Sort of. A little. ]

It's much more complicated than that.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

Oh?

[ What were we talking about? You driving this car instead of me? No, let's hear more about your TARDIS instead! ]

action;

[o_tea_p]

[Iroh turns to Toph.]

Do you have any idea what they're talking about?

action;

[beifongbandit]

[ Toph mimes a puppet with her hand. ] No clue. All I hear is space blah blah blah.

action;

[o_tea_p]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

action;

[o_tea_p]

Really?

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

[ nods ]

But there's no reason I should change my body to accommodate the whims of a mere machine, right?

action;

[o_tea_p]

No.... [sounding doubtful] But it would help to see the road.

action;

[bequiet_hescreamed]

If whoever built this car did not design it so that someone my size could see the road, clearly that is meant to be an optional feature.

action;

[o_tea_p]

I don't think that's how it works.
