ic notes and random gab

It's impossible to know what to write when making introductions on these things. Because I could very well be starting off on exactly the wrong foot here. Then again, maybe rambling and awkward is the way to go. I haven't yet done enough research to tell. Ah, to heck with it, I'll take that gamble.

OK, time for a distraction.

Quick! Top Five Picks for ________!

Can be whatever you want - movies, food, songs, books, whatever.

Aaaand go!

I guess there were...things happening during this past holiday? I was so caught up in my aunt's party that it seems I may have missed out.

Oh well. Here's hoping the next holiday doesn't bring such strangeness to this place. I rather enjoy Christmas.

To more important things, I have to share this adorable photo of my fiancee! A wonderful day ending in a rather excited meeting.

( It came right up to us )

Everyone is in their proper place again. This is good.

Dean, there are squirrels in your tree.

Alright, what the actual fuck just happened? Usually when my holidays go to shit and there's a bloke in a red suit involved, it's Christmas.

So you know I came here to like retire from adventures and mysteries. Can be done with random pumpkins, screaming, and strange, dead-looking children? Thanks. Be real grand.

I need something to do. I need to be entertained. I need a job, anything to keep my mind occupied and not thinking. Recommendations!

Okay, yeah, I get it, fresh starts and all that. I am totally there. But be honest: I'm not the only one that kinda misses home, right?

Ugh. Back to school.

What kind of inane question is this?

Bill? Johnathan? Rose I've signed us up for classes.

Tahitian / Hula, 7:00 pm, on Wednesdays. I'm guessing we'll get grass skirts when we get there?


[Private to Rose Tyler]

You want to take a dance course with us?

Hi, I'm Rose and I'm an alcoholic I work at the animal shelter in Summerbridge. Any interest in us bringing some of our animals out to Ravenmoore?

We don't have any proper therapy animals, but we do have some easy-going ones that could use the extra love and socialization, and I'm thinking they're not the only ones. We could set up in a park and if you need a bit of a pick-me-up, you could stop by during the day. Sound good to anyone?

O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!
Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despisèd substance of divinest show,
Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st.
A damnèd saint, an honourable villain!
O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?

[Text to Bill Potts]

>> How are you doing? Alright?
>> Haven't heard from you since you were whisked away.
>> No, that's not true. I saw you make a comment to my sister.

[Group Text to Bill Potts and the Doctor]

>> I'm at the station off of 3rd street.
>> I was arrested.
>> They know about my research journal.

Hello? I'm Luke Skywalker. I arrived the other day but just got on this. Anyway I guess it's good to meet you all?

Well. I'm Harry Watson, and I'm new here. Did not expect things to explode when I got here. Luckily I wasn't in the building, but still. That's a lot.

Oh. And hello. Forgot that bit.

Did everyone else receive the same pitch that I did? If so, this place must be filled to the brim with inherently sad people. Who else would accept such an invitation to leave behind everything and everyone they know? Or is it populated by hopeful individuals? I should think I fall somewhere in between. Half agony, half hope. Only Preya can say how it will all unfold.

I'm Molly Hooper, by the way.
