[RL - Haruhi; Lockon later on - ... and sometimes, everybody lives.]

((Just setting this up now so we can get the ball rolling, albeit at a nice steady pace. :3))

[The Doctor was sitting in the TARDIS. Not to go anywhere - the TARDIS was staying safely parked in Haruhi's living room until everybody was properly ready for another adventure. After all the recent hijinks, even he was feeling the strain.

No, the Doctor was in here to think, leaned back in the pilot's seat with a faraway, odd expression on his face. Now that everything had calmed down, he'd been doing quite a bit of thinking, and the TARDIS was the best place to do it. Nice and quiet.

You see, to the Doctor's mind, there was a certain something that... wasn't quite adding up. And it was niggling at his mind. Not just a discrepancy of logic, but a discrepancy of time. An ever so small one, small enough that a distracted enough mind would miss it. And he'd certainly been distracted enough.

But where? He'd had an idea, asked Feldt if he could borrow Haro and review the tapes from... from before the rescue. It had taken a bit of persuasive talk, but he'd finally got a look at them. And something... was definitely off. But what? What was it?

He'd been in here for quite some time, and he wasn't moving anytime soon. If he kept this up, people were probably going to start wondering where he was. But the problem was annoying him, so in here he would stay until someone startled him out of his reverie.]

[bloodstained loli is getting a lot of stares, not that she seems to care]

[timey_wimey]

[Ten is still deep in studying of the information board before he nods.]

Right. It's this way. [He motions to their right.] Come on.

[lets him pull her along down the hallway, not walking much herself]

[timey_wimey]

[Pulls her gently along the corridor and to the right, half-supporting her, until they come in front of a small shop. Ten's face twitches for a moment in a smile.]

They've got a shop. I'm going to take that as a sign of good luck.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[blinks]

Good luck?

[timey_wimey]

[Nods] Yeah, good luck. I've always liked a little shop.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

How is that good luck?

[timey_wimey]

There was a little shop in the Library as well.

[It makes sense to him.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[tugs on his arm]

Then buy me something.

[timey_wimey]

[Smiles a little.]

Your wish is my command.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[tugs on his arm, really needing the distraction]

[timey_wimey]

[Allows himself to be tugged into the shop, which is full of all sorts of things from food to - maybe a little strangely - souvenirs.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[starts looking at all the little trinkets and toys, keeping Ten close at hand]

[timey_wimey]

[Is perfectly content with keeping close to Haruhi and picks up a little snowglobe that has a miniature of the hospital inside with little nurse and doctor figurines that actually move.]

I wonder how they did that?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[looks a little sick]

Who would want that?

[timey_wimey]

No idea. An obsessive snowglobe collector, maybe?

[Is clearly still trying to figure out how it works.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[tries to tug him along, away from the creepy hospital snow globes]

[timey_wimey]

[B-but, the pursuit of knowledge! D: He grudgingly puts the snowglobe down and follows her.]

Maybe it was nanotechnology...

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[goes over to nicer things like stuffed animals]

[timey_wimey]

[Yay, stuffed animals! There's one closest to them which has a hairstyle a bit like Ten's~]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[just...is trying to get absorbed into looking at them]

[timey_wimey]

[Picks up a bit of an odd-looking one]

What do you think this one's supposed to be?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...An alien.

[timey_wimey]

[Prods it and tugs on one of its antennae]

It's quite sweet.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[nods] It is.
