A visitor to Uncanny Valley

Lilith

“Eh, what’s up Doc?” Rei calmly asks the Doctor.

”What?!” the Timelord in question sputters back in brilliant response to Rei’s jest….

…

I cannot believe she did that. Really, I can’t.

”REI!” several of our party members protest, clearly aghast at such a . . .joke like that at this juncture. But she’s unrepentant, all the same by her defiant smile that’s broken out on her face all the same.

By the way she’s smiling (slight though it is), I just have to recall how she’d had enjoyed the look of utter consternation on the Doctor’s face when confronted with that particular Warner Brother’s line the first time around.

I and Reika had smiled a bit when she had regaled us with it and even shared her memories of it, but I never thought it AS funny as she always thought it to be. And while it just goes to prove that being clones does not mean being carbon copies of each other, I cannot say that dear sister’s . . .

Oh frellit! That had been my cue, despite how much I didn’t care for it. Let’s just get down to business and be done with it. I just guess it beats her just saying “Smile for the birdy” whilst I do the magical “vampire lightcheck” while Fred uses his tricorder to check out our newest (and unexpected) guests. Look for things like IF they (the Doctor and that female gryphon I heard inside the TARDIS if I don’t miss my guess) are who they seem to be and all that…

Well, they’re not evil and of good character by the ‘detect evil’ spell I just used, Reika sends out way, clearing at least ONE hurdle for Rei’s next part in this play.

Hrmph, pardon. Guess that old Uncle Cuthbert Allgood kind of rubbed off on me there for a second or two. He’d been in the habit of making quips like that from time to time to both friends and enemies (re: 44620) but it’s time to get back to being more . . .sober.

But pardon me for a little humor, please. After the insane twists and turns we’ve encountered thus far I felt a small laugh or two was in order. You see, I must laugh at all of it else I’d be over in a corner, screaming and crying…

…

Can’t SOMETHING go at least halfway according to plan here?! I mean while the TARDIS and the Doctor showing up unexpectedly will save us a lot of time and effort at tracking him down later and we can use it all to our advantage, I wasn’t expecting THIS!

Still, I DO Thank God the Doctor is here! Frankly, while I actually am something of a fan of the Master (from the TV show) as my favorite villain, I did find being so polite to him somewhat taxing.

Oh, it worked that trick on the Master. That or at least the Master deigned to let us keep him entertained long enough with that trick that it made no practical difference. Kept him from trying to stab us in the back long enough for us to finally have a sufficient counter to his Moriarty with the Doctor’s Sherlock Holmes; we need all the help we can get here with the dark Timelord really.

I DO plan on explaining it all to both Betty and Ragan (LATER!) when things calm down enough for me to do it, but that’s for later. Right now we have to get the Doctor (and whoever that was inside the TARDIS) back into the loop and see if we can persuade him for a lift to the other end of the Hellmouth and whatnot.

Had planned on doing this later at a more opportune time and place but . . .tit just never seemed to be the right time or place.

After a slight nod from my sisters that affirms that the Doctor IS the Doctor (and not some evil analog or whatnot) I silently (thoughtcast) for my sisters to attend to either Stacy (we still wanted to fix her memory problems) and perhaps the Scoobies (they might feel hurt for being ignored and we must not have that). Heck, we might even have to take care of Betty and Ragan (who look like they have a few questions themselves).

Never liked how the Doctor (mine) might put off questions for later (only to never get around to it), but can see where he’s coming from. Always there are questions!

After the Doctor jerks around and looks surprised at seeing a lightball (full of healthy sunlight folks) shine on him from nowhere, he turns back with question of his own. The Master looks like he wants in on this himself and has . . .invited himself into the discussion.

So be it! At least we can keep a better eye on him with him being close at hand (or FIST with Fred being armed and armored).

“Sorry for the abrupt turn into Uncanny Valley there but there was a good reason for that,” I begin, frowning at when I see Lilith start at seeing something flashing bright red on her tricorder. "I am sure you have questions and we'll answer right now because that'd be nothing but good manners, I am sure."

1. "Jehosephat!" the Doctor swears, looking at me. "First talking lions and now angels?! I don't believe in angels!"
