Who: Violet Baudelaire and The Doctor
What: Returning Things and Post Kidnapping Check In
When: Day 19
Where: Her Room
Rating: PG-13 for Olaf Being Spoken of/Kidnapping
Status: Complete

Violet had slept like a stone since her escape from Armand and she was still feeling crummy. But she had fished out her idea journal to focus on something besides dreams of the kidnapping and Count Olaf. "Quite strange" she observed, forgetting about the mysterious handprint on her throat for now,"There is that loose cord and all it needs is some fresh wires". She had no idea her screwdriver had rolled from her kit (now sitting atop the dresser) and had only figured out bits and pieces of recent events. "Guess I must have hit my head while looking for those wires?" she muses. But unlike 2 days before she was dressed like herself again as she sketched out the idea into her book,"But something is amiss, something had to trigger the dreams of Count Olaf!" she hissed.

Now she could not stop shaking but she threw herself back into the idea journal, it was keeping the worst of her feelings at bay for now. "Maybe tommorow I can brave the junkyard again?" she decided,"I have to unravel this puzzle somehow".

"At least you manage to organise it all into kits. I just have tools and wires and bits and bobs all over the bloody place. I'm a bit of a hoarder, I suppose. Apparently I have a tool room, but it's... long since spread to everywhere and anywhere," he explained, forgetting that he hadn't mentioned the fact that his ship was with him and the tool room wasn't part of his accommodation at the resort.

"Well, you sound like my kinda person!" he said with a little laugh; he loved people that could figure out a way to save the day using any old junk that was lying around. It was fantastic!

"Really? And what reason was that?" he asked, a little curious by this sort of attitude.

"It just made more sense and well after one middle of the night hunt for a set of pliers it made more sense to set up kits" Violet admits. "But I think inventors are also horders since we see everything as future ideas and projects" her own room filled with bits of things she had found.

"I think you speak my language!" as she explained. "I am just open to the idea of fate and maybe my screwdriver was just one aspect of that and maybe I was kidnapped for a reason"

"Yeah, it would probably make more sense for me, as well. I suppose I'm just very easily distracted and tend to leave things where they lie!" he admitted; it was just his nature, verging on ADHD. "I'd agree with that, though. I've definitely got enough storage space, and you never know when something that seems useless is going to come in very handy indeed!" he said with a knowing nod.

"Yeah, sounds like it!" he agreed with a grin. "Well, that's very optimistic of you. I suppose if nothing else, we now both have someone to run to in an inventing emergency!" he suggested with a laugh.

"The most useless thing can trigger the best idea" Violet had to smile. "As for me I just blame too many middle of the night hunts for whatever tool I need and once was during a power outage while fixing a circuit breaker of all things" but it was just who she was as an inventor.

"But the fate thing after the last few days has made me think more than usual. My screwdriver might just be part of a bigger puzzle" forgetting her notebook with the Olaf dreams was in plain sight.

"True!" he agreed; he had so many bits and bobs lying about the TARDIS, but there were countless times that he'd been able to fix a problem just with hatever was in reach. "Yeah, that's sensible. I'd just stumble about in the dark, although... I suppose the sonic screwdriver is good for tight spots like that. maybe that's where my lazy approach to organising comes from!" he admitted, slightly amused.

He nodded slowly as she mentioned her screwdriver being a part of a bigger puzzle - it sounded like the young girl had even bigger problems that recovering from an allergic reaction. "Yeah? What puzzle's that?" he asked, glancing briefly at her journal, but forcing his eye back to her face before actually catching anything she had written there - he didn't want to be too nosy.

"I think we all have those moments, after one close call I tossed flashlights into all my kits" as Violet fished a small flashlight from the mini kit. "Been slowly rebuilding my main one and was actually on a parts hunt and things kinda went blank from there till about yesterday" she confessed.

"Ongoing puzzle of mine, weird dreams related to a weird mix of things" speaking of both the kidnapping and Count Olaf. "Been trying to unravel those via my other notebook but nothing seems to be falling into place like projects do".

"Yeah, it's probably a good idea. I have pockets that are bigger on the inside, so I usually have just about everything needed on my person," he explained, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wind-up mouse. "Hmm. Bad example," he shrugged, placing it on top of her toolbox like a very strange gift.

He nodded thoughtfully as she mentioned her mix of dreams and so on; as a Time Lord, he very rarely had dreams so it was difficult for him to relate. He'd had flashback dreams after the Time War, but he wasn't sure that exactly compared. "Yeah, it's a lot harder to work out your own personal issues that it is to work out a new invention," he said, figuring he could at least sort of relate to that. It was how he lived his life.

"You are so much like me that I love it!" Violet seemed to be smiling a bit more. She pulled out the larger version of her kit,"Its like this place knew I needed tools and I found a fully stocked toolbox" as she got down an ongoing project.

"I have no idea what is behind my dreams and that scares me given recent weird" she confessed. "Its like I'm turning into my own science project to unravel my own mind"

"The slightly psychic rooms are something special," he agreed. "Luckily for me, I arrived with my ship... which is my home with all my belongings on board. I do wonder what the planet would do if I staged a rebellion and refused to leave the ship... but knowing me, I'd get bored of my strike after a few hours and be back out and about again!" he rambled on, finally getting to the point about his TARDIS.

"Ah, the mind is a very delicate thing, be careful you don't unravel too much... that way madness lies!" he warned, although he wasn't entirely sure what she would discover... in his own experience, it hadn't been a good thing.

"Anyway, I suppose I was really just dropping by to see if you were recovering all right from your reaction, but you seem to be doing quite well, mental anguish aside" he observed. "I would say that... Max would be your best bet in helping you unravel your dreams," he reminded her. "As for me, I'm glad I met you! When you're feeling better, you should come and see the ship - from the outside, it looks like a blue police box, shouldn't be hard to find!" he suggested. "I'm sure it would... interest a mind like yours," he assured her, deciding to leave the part about it being bigger on the inside as a surprise for her.

A smile escaped Violet, something that had been rare since the kidnapping. "I've been trying to unravel how the rooms know so much and its still an ongoing puzzle. But finding both projects and a fully stocked toolbox was beyond cool" she finally looked like herself again.

"Part of me is more scared of what lies underneath, maybe there is something more to my dreams than meets the eyes" she mused as she set an ongoing project atop the toolbox.

Violet made one decision right then,"You know what? I think its time to rejoin life and stop living in fear. Besides finding someone that loves science as much as I do is a pretty good reason". That was a sign Violet was on the road back, minus the weird dreams of course.
