"Wha - shouldn't I be unconscious by now? Isn't that how hallucinations work?" Olivia said, still unable to move. "Your box - it's - is it bigger on the inside?"
"Wha - shouldn't I be unconscious by now? Isn't that how hallucinations work?" Olivia said, still unable to move. "Your box - it's - is it bigger on the inside?"
"That seems to be the general consensus!" he smiled gently. "Now about that cup of tea?"
(Don't mind if I drag Olivia around a bit, do you?)
Several minutes later, they were in a cafe. Only the Doctor knew how they got there, you just seemed to gravitate towards where he dragged you because of a strange, uncharismatic charisma he appeared to radiate. "Chamomile, not the best, but it's alright." he sipped politely from the cup, in the most properly British way possible.
(Nah you're good),
Olivia simply say in shock. "Okay, I'm fairly certain hallucinations are supposed to end more quickly than this. I'm not on drugs, I haven't drank anything besides water - what the hell is going on?"
"Simple; you aren't hallucinating. Trust me babes, I'd know if you were." Seni drawled. "Hell yeah she ain't!!" the teenaged, energetic Victorian Goth said cheerily. "Shut up, Four." Seni barked. "What's Four?" the Doctor tilted his head quizzically. "Oh, it's nothing, just talking to myself." Seni reassured, mostly to herself. Why was he, of all people, appearing? A hyper kleptomaniac always urging her to steal things? It was rather strange. "If you say so. Uhh, I never caught your name." the Doctor turned to Olivia.
"I'm Olivia. Olivia Thomas. Okay, so there's a screen in your box, eight? Like in the movies? But why'd you take all the time to install those? emphasis your box just - appear like that? It doesn't make any sense!" Olivia stated frustratedly.
"It's not-okay, it's hard to explain. Imagine a very, very small box, and a very, very big box. Can you do that?" Seni asked. Four snickered. "That talk? Again? Biiitch, you've gotta get better at this! You're turning into Blondie Boi™!" he said, looking towards the Doctor.
Olivia out her head on the table, giving up in confusion. "So my hallucinations are sentient. This is just - you know what, maybe if I hit my head hard enough, I'll wake up," she thought aloud, standing up.
(Uhh, if you're implying that she can see Four, nobody but Seni can see those particular hallucinations. Or I'm wrong and just misinterpreting what's being said here, sorry!)
(No I just meant the way that Seni was talking - Oh heck I'm big dumb.)
Olivia out her head on the table, giving up in confusion. "So my hallucinations are sentient. This is just - you know what, maybe if I hit my head head enough, I'll wake up," she thought aloud, standing up.
"No, I wouldn't recommend that!" the Doctor stood up and lightly grabbed her wrist. "Please, no self inflicted violence." he added.
Olivia stopped, frozen at the touch. "I, um. Ok, then," she said, slowly sitting back down.
"I'm sorry to have startled you. We landed here by accident, the TARDIS should be back to her plucky old self again quite soon now. We'll get out of your way." the Doctor smiled, a small amount of sadness in his eyes.
"Wait, wait. No. You - you can't just show up in a magic box and take a girl for a cup of tea and then leave her to wonder the the hell it was. What's your name, anyway?" Olivia asked somewhat hurriedly.
"The Doctor. I'm a Doctor of most things, and some more besides if anyone's asking." he said calmly.
"What the bloody… okay, fine. But I'm not gonna let you leave me now," Olivia stated. "Also, I just really love your hat. But that's not the point."
"Well you can't just come with us, stupid!" Seni burst out into hysterical laughter. "If you're gonna travel through time and space, you'll need skill, quick thinking, a steady head, and you obviously don't have any of those qualities. And that's just for peaceful locations!"
Throwing her hands up in the air, Olivia growled in frustration. FIne, then. Go on in your magic box and I'll - what, forget that a magic box once appeared out of thin air right in front of me? FIne. See if I care. This whole thing is probably just some elaborate trick, anyway." She said, standing up to leave.
"She's seen too much, on the other hand… Seni?" the Doctor asked. "Kill her then?" Seni responded. "No!! Just… one trip, just one. She… uh, Olivia, right! Uh, would you agree to that?" he asked.
Olivia thought about it for a moment. "Well, I can't exactly say no to that after my rant a minute ago, plus your hat is adorable, and I've always had a fondness for magic boxes, so… yes?"
"Ugh! No-" "Yes! She complimented my hat, how could we deny the woman!" the Doctor shouted, gaining some attention for a second before everyone went back to their business, deciding it was better to ignore the strange man.
Olivia shrugged, smiling. "I have a weakness for lovely hats, what can I say? But, maybe you could, er, not yell it out in public?"
"Oh, yes, sorry about that." he said. "He's had too much sugar, don't worry about him. Anyways, come on idiot." Seni growled.
"I'm not an idiot," Olivia replied absentmindedly.
"Yeah you are. Most people are though, it's not unusual." she shrugged.
"Okay. Can you - not call me an idiot, please?" She said, taking a breath. "It actually makes me want to jump off a bridge. And most people are perfectly smart, nice people," she said, jaw hardening.
