Day Three - Morning
Who: Luna Lovegood and OTA
Where: The Gas Station
What: A quest for chocolate frogs and tea
When: Just after 9
Rating: TBA
Status: Completed

The shirt that she had been wearing that first night, and partway through the second day, it was partially shredded at the back with claw marks. Nothing completely unusable, because very little in this world could not be used in some way or another. But for the moment, Luna had a different purpose in mind for the cheerily colored fabric with its cartoon figures on the front of whatever X-Men were. She had strung it up with one of her suspenders from the day before to tie it into a pouch. And used the other to make a sort of strap, that should stay in place, even when she added some weight to the insides of the makeshift purse.

Andy had waited until she had woken up before telling her where he was going, and that he would be back. Which she had appreciated the fact that he had thought to tell her, it coming as sort of a revelation that someone would. A pleasant one, of course. Yet still something it took a second to wrap her mind around and absorb.

After he had left, she had made her purse-like thing, checked each of her bandages the best she could (twisting around to see her back was harder than it sounded), and decided to make an exploration of her own. Or, rather, a quest. For chocolate frogs and tea. An apple was eaten for breakfast, another tucked into her bag in case she did not make it back for lunch, the crunchy sweet juicy goodness of it making her quite happy with each mouthful. As she had slept fully dressed in dry clothes, shoes included, the blonde witch set off as she was. The events of the morning before had made her both careful to keep her feet and toes covered and warm, as well as making sure she left a note for Andy in case he returned before she did.

She would have told him before he left, but she had not had the mood and thought strike her to go looking for this 'gas station.' Luna was fairly sure that it was the same as a 'petrol station,' but considering she did not exactly know what that was anyway, it was a rather fruitless endeavor to attempt to find what it was. Oh well, she would likely find out its purpose when she arrived.

With her wide eyes, which had focused on something beyond and before what was physically there with them for a moment, the young woman looked over at the Doctor. "Healer Martha knows of him? I do not know much of Muggle things, but I do like his plays. And the Monty Python." Quite amusing, quite indeed.

"No," she shook her head, before tilting it back to pour a bit more Pixie Stix powder onto her tongue. "No Sigh-burr-Men." Odd name, plant buds that pricked and sighed? Or perhaps a tribe of people who worshiped pricking plant buds and sighed ritualistically. Luna let her mind dance happily along this new thread of thought. A bit happier than usual, in fact, although that fact missed her notice.

"Does your London not have magic at all?" Of course, it was possible that the Doctor would not have had any run in with the Wizarding community, but Luna was so hopeful that someone would know what she was talking about. There were, however, supposed to be over 6 billion people in the world, and only 3 million or so of her kind. That there was another Witch in this place was statistically amazing, from a coldly logical standpoint. Not that Luna ever thought in such a view.

Odd. The Doctor's smile seemed pasted on then like paper over a corrected page.

"Your world has Monty Python?" He asked with a faint smile. "Must not be all bad then."

When Luna reported that her earth had not, in fact, been attacked by Cybermen, the Doctor couldn't help but deflate a little. He had hoped, really hoped for a chance, however slim, that Rose's world was accessable once more. It appeared he hadn't a chance.

"Magic? Like wizards? Oh no. Not unless you count Torchwood and their flurry of gagets and guns all aimed at who knows what." The Doctor was feeling strangely down. Well, perhaps not so strangely as his mind had managed to settle on troubling topics. However, in an attempt to distract himself he tried to remember just how many pixie stix he'd seen Luna consume. He was thinking it had to be around the half dozen range.

"You may want to slow down with those," he cautioned, "I think they might be a touch addictive."

The Monty Python had singing and dancing, fake noses and confusing felines. Upper class races and odd cartoons. Aliens that turned everyone into Scotsmen. Luna liked the spectacle all very much, having seen at least a few episodes when visiting.

She had heard that they had cinema moving pictures of the Python, and she wished to see someday.

With a ferverent nod, she agreed. "Yes, Wizards and Witches. Dragons and unicorns and pixies." With a glance down at the small bundle of Pixie Stix she held in her hand, she lifted her hand to show him. As if he had not seen them before. "They have Sticks for Pixies, surely they have pixies to use them?"

His warning caused her to look at the paper tubes again. "Oh dear," the comment was a bit faster and as floaty as a helium Muggle balloon, but it made its way into verbal form. "I shall consume them later then, I do not wish to be addicted."

"Well, there are certainly pixies. Though, the pixies I've run in to aren't much of the fun sort..." Unconsciouly the Doctor wrinkled his nose. He didn't care much for Pixies or for Fairies in spite of all those cutesy stories mankind liked to make up about them - that lot tended to be a bit more nefarious than mankind would like to imagine.

"Oh, the Pixie Stix aren't really sticks for pixies," the Doctor just realized the error of his homonyms. "It's just a clever name that people came up with for their candy." He hoped that wouldn't disappoint her too much.

He smiled cheekily as she seemed to take his warning seriously. He supposed it was for the best, he wouldn't want her getting a cavity out here with no dentist to be found. He didn't think Martha might do much with poor teeth, anyway. "Luna, why is it that you can't use your magic to get us out of here?"

"They are awful tricky little creatures," Luna agreed. The few Muggle references she had heard of about them were quite wrong. Native to Cornwall and Devon, she had met them more than once in their native habitat. But, thankfully, she had been deemed not a threat and summarily ignored when she had come upon them. After all, they rewarded consideration, and punished neglect.

Luna was slightly disappointed. It seemed that much of the Muggle references to the magical world that she had found had been taking the idea of magic lightly. "So, they do not believe in pixies?"

Carefully placing her stash of pixie stix in her little makeshift Marvel bag, she looked over at him, suddenly thirsty for that tea in her hand. "We use wands," she chirped out in the beginnings of a sugar high, as the dextrose hit her system. "Without a wand, I can neither apparate home, nor make a fire." Without a wand, she was defenseless.

"Tricky doesn't begin to describe my experience," his mind was wandering in the direction of the carnivorous creatures that he'd encountered time and time again throughout the galaxy. Sharp toothed, dim witted creatures, pixies with their collection fetishes never failed to make him wish he'd kept a constant supply of everything in the universe in his pockets so as to appease them at any time.

"Some of them do," he responded to her question regarding humans belief in pixies. "Though, their interpretation is a little off," if by a little one meant about five hundred miles off target.

The Doctor started thinking of his experience with the witches during Shakespeare's time - people for whom words held power. "What about spells, do you use those, too?"

"Oh you've met Cornish Blues then?" Those were the trickiest of the lot, from what she had both seen and read. Of course he had already postulated that they were from different universes, which could mean that his world had not had the same sorts of pixies at all.

That was interesting, and Luna said as much, inspecting some of the displays around herself with quiet curiosity. "Many of what I have heard of their interpretations seem to be." Poor Muggles, they never seemed to get it right about magical creatures. Never got to visit dragons, ride a thestral or stroke the beautiful nose of a unicorn.

The chemically altered sugar in her system was buzzing away like a flurry of beetles dancing through her veins, a fascinating sensation. "Spells, yes, but a wand is used as a focus object. It grounds the magic within us and allows us to bend the pure power into a more suitable form."

The Doctor shook his head. He didn't have much any idea what Cornish Blues could be. Pity, he sort of liked the idea of being a frontrunner for knowledge of interplanetary species.

"I'd imagine with practice, though, people might be able to accomplish things without their wands, yes? Sort of like those monks who are able to regulate their own heartbeats," or tuning in to psychic networks.

Striding up to the cooler the Doctor squinted within, taking in the various bottles and things - none of which really striking his fancy at the moment. Swaying a bit back and forth on the balls of his feet he let his mind wander back into the TARDIS for a few moments.
