!complete, day 15, location: gym, selene, the doctor (nine)

Who: The Ninth Doctor and Selene
What: The Doctor is still trying to find out what's going on..
Where: Moving from the Post Office to the Gym
When: 12:30PM, Day 15
Rating: PG-13
Status: Compelte

After that unfortunately abrupt, brief interaction with the pretty young woman who seemed to think he was a clone (really, a clone?) the Doctor had focused blue eyes onto the gym across the way and was once again looking down at the strange little box of 'goodies' he'd been left. Really, he was quite thankful that he'd run into the nutter when he had.. she hadn't reacted well to his calling himself The Doctor at all. Sometimes it was like that.. sometimes he'd been places that he didn't remember being, and met people he didn't remember meeting, because he hadn't been there yet. And really, if he'd announced that he was The Doctor in front of a group full of people.. and they had reacted the way she had? Well, he didn't want to become public enemy number one in this little town he knew nothing of. He already held that title in other places and wasn't very proud of it. Well. Okay, maybe sometimes he was. But only when he gave into that little urge twitching at the back of his mind.

From now on, he'd be John Smith.

And once he'd decided that, John Smith was calmly making his way across the dirty, dusty road and towards the large structure across from the post office. The girl had seemed amiable enough before he'd given himself a designation.. so maybe the rest of the people would be just as nice to John Smith as she had been to the nameless man with the box.

Selene didn't like the sense of this place. Not because it was a little dated -- she sometimes preferred old to new, actually -- but it had a certain feel about it. It made the vampire uncomfortable. Once she parted ways with the young mortal she decided she would do a brief survey of what there was of this town and then head off to find the so-called haunted house. She didn't believe in things like spirits and ghosts so she wasn't the slightest bit concerned about that. The way she saw it, if such talk kept everyone away from the house it would be a perfect place for her to stay. But she wasn't above lingering out in the forest. Staying in a gymnasium with a bunch of humans? That was one of the last places she wanted to be, whether she was pretending to be human or not.

The man -- if he was only twenty-something he was really more like a boy -- had said something about a pharmacy, so that was what the vampire was on the lookout for. Not for any drugs, mind you. She was hoping to find some syringes or vials, bottles even. Anything that might prove useful once she found a food source. No electricity meant no coolers, true, but if there was water she might be able to come up with something. The bottle of water was heavy in her coat and she almost wanted to get rid of it, along with the rest, but figured just because they were things she wouldn't use didn't mean someone else wouldn't want them.

She hadn't gone far when she picked up on a fresh scent, but a vaguely familiar one. Not the blood scent of the one she had just spent however long talking with. It made her pause and glance around, finally spotting someone coming her way. That she recognized the scent was what threw her off. The only other person she'd come across since her rude awakening was... "The Doctor?"

Well, the Doctor wasn't quite sure where to go from here. And the best thing to do when you didn't know what to do? Use a tried and true practice. He'd simply go into the gym, where he could hear people prattling on, and ask them exactly what was going on in this place. It usually worked for him. Act like a stupid tourist and people would tell you anything! Well, except that one time they'd laughed at him when he'd asked about something falling from the sky.. that had been a cock-up and a strange situation in and of itself, one he wasn't planning on ending back up in any time soon. Instead, he'd ended up here. Only problem was, he wasn't quite sure where 'here' was. Which, of course, brought him back to his original idea: Ask the locals. And really, he'd been taking those first steps forward towards the museum when he'd heard that voice-- that familiar voice. And he spun around to lift blue eyes onto the dark-haired, dark-eyed, pale skinned woman, and he looked confused for almost a moment before a smile broke out on his face.

"Selene!" He greeted in an excited tone, retracing his steps to walk back to her and open out one of his arms, while the other kept his box neatly labeled 'Vas Captio' tucked under his arm. He didn't know what anything inside the box was for.. but he wasn't about to give it up, either. Maybe Selene, with her Cajun-given knowledge, would be willing to help him out? Perhaps not.. after all, could she really trust the red-head? "You're alright! Fantastic. You see, I told you that you would be." He smiled wider then and his hand came out to grasp her shoulder briefly before releasing it, his way of showing her that he was indeed pleased that she'd come out of their mess A-Okay. "No problems, then? No injuries?" He was looking her up and down, though it wasn't in the same way the younger red-head had been. He was looking for tell-tale signs of injury. Didn't look like she had anything broken, at least. And blue eyes lifted again.

"Nothing to worry about." He reassured her again before looking around them, then back to her. "Is there anything you can tell me about this place?" Was she from here? Did she know what was going on? He would like some answers, please.
