“It’s. Complicated. I don’t have time to waste, talking to you. I’m trying to figure out what horrors will befall the earth again. First it was these horrible lava-worms, and now? I don’t know what it is but it better come quickly or I-“ the Doctor was cut off by a mysterious rumbling, and then a howling noise. Several howling noises.
The cafe was a side-of-the-road place, with very few people staying there. But once the few remaining patrons heard the noise, havoc was wreaked. People were scrambling to the door, but the Doctor did his best to block them.
“Everyone, whatever is out there is probably very dangerous, so stay calm. I don’t think it would be wise to investigate now.” he said.
Kaite kept a calm look on his face, before gasping. "Wait– I know this is really soon to ask but do you think I could help you? it's better than being cooped-up in a cafe 24/7." He admits, nervously scratching the back of his neck with a small chuckle.
“Good! Finally, a human who takes initiative! Lock all entrances to the place, and see if there’s anything we can use to block off the main doors, they don’t look sturdy.” the Doctor said, a sudden fire in his eyes. His… companion was right, he really did need this.
Kaite's face lit up before he nodded. "Yes sir!" He said, rushing to the entrance, and locking it in, before pulling abotu 12 chairs to the door, locking the exit and doing the same, before shutting the blinds.
He rushed back and fourth, putting the people behind the counter, and motioning them to stay as he walked back to the man. "Okay, I did it." He said, sighing.
“Thank you! Now, quickly, before anyone dies, please introduce yourselves. I want to keep track.” the Doctor said. A woman raised her hand. “Ah, Nari’s the name. And who might you be, telling us all what to do?”
Kaite paused, as the woman just kept staring at the two.
"W-We-Well, m-my names Kaite." He muttered, shyly and awkwardly. UGH! What is going on with me? He asked himself, now embarrassed.
Three other patrons listed their names (Callie, Angus, and Jaws) before the Doctor answered the woman’s question. “Well, I’m the Doctor, you see.” he said simply, as a sort of non-answer.
Kaite sighed, adjusting his glasses before sitting on a stool, spinning over and over like a idiot. "Weeeee-" He muttered, sighing.
A hand slapped the window. Bloodstains were left from whatever it had previously mauled, and you could practically hear the screams left over from the poor person who’d been murdered. You could even see the remains of the body outside.
Kaite held in a yelp, falling off the stool. "H-Huh?"
“Our first corpse. Perfect, from here I can see… well, it’s pretty well-mauled.” the Doctor said. “This is good, we know how it kills.”
Kaite paused, but nodded, hesitating.
“You’re here for something. But what?” he said, pressing against the glass. “Something, something. It’s always something.”
Kaite mirrored the doctors moves, but stayed silent. "What is it?" He asked.
“Something dangerous. But primitive, from the looks of it, not of this earth.” he said softly. “It won’t hurt us if we stay in here. It thinks it has us cornered, that we’ll just give in eventually.”
Kaite nodded. "Well, of course it's dangerous. It just killed somebody." He whispered, sighing.
“Don’t give me that tone. Wasn’t there something saying respect your elders? After a few thousand years I’d expect that to come into effect, but no. Humans, with their insistence on acting like fools,” he griped. The Doctor ran through the cafe, looking around, when suddenly the lights went out.
Kaite felt bad, but shook it off with the feeling of fear as the lights shut off.
Oh, crud.
(I love Kaite just. Not reacting at all to any of the weird shit the Doctor says lol.)
(XD- He doesn't even know what to say lmao-)
(Lol that makes sense.)
“Hey, listen. If we’re gonna be trapped here, at least let us try and call for help.” Jaws said as the Doctor went around, confiscating everyone’s phones. “That’s what I’m trying to do, call for help. Give me your phone, now.” the Doctor said to Kaite.
Kaite nods, giving his phone to him. "Here." He muttered.
Wait, who names someone Jaws? His eyes trailed to the person whom called themself 'jaws'
“I’m going to send a message to a friend of mine. I say friend. More like mortal enemy who wants me dead, but patayto patahto.” he shrugged, using his sonic screwdriver to zap the phones into working as he needed them to. “I’ve reversed the polarity of the neutron flow for all but your phone, Kaite. Now the others act like small cell towers. You’ll be in for a treat, now hold on to your ears, they might just blast of with the feedback I’ll be getting. Usually calling my ship isn’t so hard, but my mortal-frenemy made some modifications after the last infestation of sonic worms.”
Kaite tilted his head. "Sonic worms- What–" He paused. "Could you please, explain sir?" He asked, now very confused.
(Kaite has like, no questions? None at all? Sorry if I sound weird but you’re being kinda passive, I’d like to see you get more active in the plot if that makes sense.)
(ah- OKIUHDSIHDo Okay- Sorry, I'm tired and can't think today-)
(No, that’s valid! I’m just hoping to see a little more spark, you know?)
The Doctor called, and waited for an answer. None came, but the phone was still ringing, so whoever the Doctor was calling was probably taking a while to answer.
(Yeah, I understand- I apologize.)
Kaite sighed. "Wait, what are Sonic- Or- Whatever you called them, and what on earth is going on?" He questioned, worried and confused at the same time.
(Is that better-?)
(Yeah, thank!)
“We are under attack from creatures not of this earth. And sonic worms, they travel the airways, they’re a real nuisance. There’s probably at least ten of them in your head now, they’re responsible for getting songs stuck in your head.” he explained.
Kaite paused. "Oh, no, really?" He pauses, concerned. "And I know they're not from this earth, sir. But what do you think they are?"
