all-night laundromat blues (backdated to Monday morning)

[Monday morning finds the Doctor stepping out of the TARDIS to go and get the milk for his morning tea, journal tucked under his arm...

only, the moment he steps out, he's surprised to realize that he isn't parked in his own room, any longer, but the laundry room. as he turns to go back in and move the TARDIS back to where it belongs -- it dematerializes without him, leaving him standing there perplexed in his pajamas and slippers]

Oh, dear. ... What's that all about, then, old girl? You've never done that before ...

((OOC: Loss involvement start! Five will be trapped here with Joshua until Wednesday!))

[ Well it's not like he's asleep, since you don't keep on sleeping when you roll over on a mattress and end up on a running dryer. Even Joshua isn't that hard of a sleeper, and he's been up and changed and pissed looking ever since, waiting...

Just waiting for whoever the hell it was going to be this time. Ugh. ]

...You forgot your laundry.

[ ooc; Aaaand don't be surprised if he starts trying to lock people out by Tuesday. ]

Unless it's all the socks that've gone missing for the last few hundred years, I doubt it ...

[he turns, both surprised and entirely unsurprised, somehow, by his company.]

So you didn't leave with them.

[ He's sitting on a (broken) washer, feet propped up on a chair and a book about ice caverns in his hands. At least he can still ask the castle for things. ]

That would be an awful lot of ground to cover to play catch-up, don't you think?

At this point, yes. But if you'd gone with them initally? Perhaps not.

[he's surprised Joshua isn't trying to leave, but he'll lean against a cabinet. if he's got the chance to talk to him face-to-face, he's not going to waste it, no matter how oddly it's come about]

You never did tell me what happened. ... How you got your horns back.

Why would I tell you?

Well, for one thing, it's rather clear that you regain them no matter what happens.

[idly] So I suppose the more proper question is, why wouldn't you?

It isn't like you're important. I have no reason to share anything with you.

[isn't like he's --- fksjdfhlkdsfhffff. that earns Joshua the briefest wide-eyed look from Five, before a blink of surprise chases it away, and he's calm again]

Oh? ... And who would be? In your eyes.

You're pretty nosy. Weren't you going to wash clothes?

Done what?

Dematerialized on her own, I'm afraid ... Could you do me a favor, Amy?

Yeah, sure.

Drop by the room and see if she's back there? ... I just want to make sure she's not lost, you know...

Can do. Just give me a few minutes.

[she's already looking for some shoes]

[and once she gets there, the TARDIS will be waiting patiently -- only, she won't be able to open it. damn castle and its shenanigans]

[nopers. Amy tries simply pushing on the door first, then pulling... then she tries her key... though no amount of jiggling it in the lock does anything. Finally she heaves a sigh and picks up her journal]

Doctor? I've got good news and bad news.

Oh, dear. Best to give me the good news first, to cushion the bad.

[Alan has actually come to appreciate the weekly task of doing his laundry. The laundry room is generally peaceful compared to the activity that abounds in the other areas of the castle, and the methodical washing process is calming and therapeutic.

But the laundry room's generally empty, so it's a bit of a surprise that it's occupied when he enters. And come to think of it, he's never really considered the Doctor doing laundry... He doesn't know the room's other occupant.]

Evening.

[Five's just as surprised, really, trust him - but he'll smile politely, anyway... especially at the sight of a friend]

Hallo, Alan. Been a while, hasn't it?

[ He's just watching...like a creeper. What else to do? ]

[Alan returns the smile, but notes that when he does his laundry it'll be over theeere, not over here. Potentially awkward, that.]

Yeah, it has. How've you been? I really like that book on Gallifreyan programming.

And, if you don't mind me asking, why have you two holed up in the laundry room, of all places?

I've been .... well. ... Myself, that's a good way to put it. [he smiles, not quite wanting to tip his hand about his current worries to Joshua] I'm glad you're enjoying the book, it seemed the sort of thing you'd care for.

As for this, well -- [he gives Alan a meaningful, if not quite pointed look] -- I'm afraid the castle decided I needed to have a bit of quality time with the washers and dryers.

I've been hold up in rooms all week. This is just the worst one yet.

[this face, Joshua]

[Alan grimaces. Losses. Fun times.] That's unfortunate.

How long's it been so far?
