[not too long after receiving the picture on his CAT, said device turns on, broadcasting everything, just as the Doctor reaches the northernmost door. he pauses for a moment, reading the sign.]

Wait until I'm called? [he makes a face that says "Not on your life," and barges in--but stops short when he spots the four townspeople waiting by the fireplace] Ohhh, and the entertainment's here already! I'd wondered if I'd see you lot again--well, no, not really. Not two of you, anyway.

Well! It's been fun, but I've got things to do: worlds to see, planets to save--and you lot have kept me here for far too long already.

[he stalks across the vast room until he reaches the door, but frowns when he can't turn the doorknob. a little noise of frustration escapes his lips while he pulls out his sonic screwdriver, the instrument whirring for a moment before he sighs and puts it away] Deadlocked... That would figure.

[he runs a hand through his hair as he walks away from the doors. by now he's noticed his CAT is on] Looks like we can't go in to visit our wonderful mayor. Would anyone care to join me here with the rest of our friends? Certainly won't be a dull time, that's for sure...


[ooc: All right, here's the discussion post everyone! Feel free to use this space to talk to one another or the Doctor (so yes, threadhopping is allowed), share what you've learned, and if you want to chat with a mod NPC (Verita, Ms Osculia, Audrey, and Sheriff Iussus), please put their name in the subject line of a comment and we mods will come and tag you!]

Or asking him those same questions. If he cares, he should respond.

I know he has a daughter and a mistress in town. What have you found out?

[desertdaggers]

Wha- ah, yes. Of course. [looks embarrassed- what would his teachers say :|]

Verita and Miss Osculia? Miss Osculia doesn't seem too pleased with him at present, though.

[finalwished]

No... But I wonder if the feeling is mutual. He could be surprised--even upset--to find out how he's made her feel.

[desertdaggers]

I thought it sounded as though it was, but… It's worth mentioning.

[finalwished]

I think most anything's worth a try. Don't you?

[desertdaggers]

Yeah. It doesn't seem as though we'd get many answers just going along with things.

[finalwished]

[a dark look--a touch of sad memories--flits across her expression] No. You don't learn much at all by just doing what you're told.

But with everything we've learned from our stay here, we should be able to say something the Mayor will listen to.

[desertdaggers]

[a quick wry smile] I wonder if they really thought we'd just do that.

I'm sure we will.

[finalwished]

[smiles back, amused] It's possible. We'd have to know more about the Mayor to be sure.

[determined] We have to.
