"Kandie Strype very bad juju!" Yelled one of the civilians.
"What?!" The Doctor asked completely confused.
"We make big sacrifice! Throw in exploding mountain!" Said another.
"Now hold on here. Can't we discuss this?" He asked trying to reason with the New Splotians. "We're not from here, and I believe we should at least know the reason for why we're being accused of whatever it is we're being accused of."
The Doctor did not like the situation he and Sarah Jane had been brought into. Well at least he could add this to the constantly growing list of 'Reasons Why The Council Should Find Someone Else.' If they got out of this alive the Doctor was going to make sure the Council never send him here again.

"Kandie Strype very bad juju!" called out a New Splotian, nearly spitting it.
"What?!"
Kandie Strype Kandie Strype Kandi Stripe
She runs the words around in her head, they are obviously important to the hypertensive folks of New Splot. The Doctor being busy working on negotiations, she looked for which way they should start running in, should the running begin.
Candi Stripe
"We make big sacrifice! Throw in exploding mountain!" Called a voice in the crowd quite ominously.
What was that she saw? There over the top off those low wooden structures that might be houses or the general store over there where the heart of this stubble of town seemed to be. It had to be less than a quarter klick away. At first she was confused by the scale, so close to human size it seemed from here. She could see it's upper half over the building, three quarters profile, and two looming, threatening looking arms raised.
"Doctor" She said breathlessly, giving his sleeve a little tug. Candi Stripe
"Now hold on here. Can't we discuss this?" It was a statue of a woman. Dark haired. A bright red shirt under a striped bib. Candy Striped "Doctor." She said louder, giving a stronger tug.
"We're not from here, and I believe we should at least know the reason for why we're being accused of whatever it is we're being accused of."
"Doctor!" She said in that voice that would make him look. She simply pointed. Now she speaks under her breath, looking at the New Splotians in a new and disturbing light.
"Can I borrow your coat? Candy Stripe very bad juju."

"Doctor!"
He looked at her, his eyes following her arm to her finger, to the statue that said finger was pointing at. "Oh."
"Can I borrow your coat? Candy Stripe very bad juju."
"Right." The Doctor quickly took off his coat and put it around Sarah Jane, glad to find that it covered her up very nicely. "Okay see we've fixed that problem. No more Kandie Strype see?"
He was still trying to calm the Splotians down.

The Splotians (quite ridiculously) dropped their weapons and beat their chest, making monkey sounds. "You no hide evil! We throw evil in volcano!" the leader said.
They all rushed forward to grab the two's arms, trying to get them to the volcano.
Alec raised an eyebrow. The savages had strange methods, but he could question results.
(Feel free to 'Wow' them with the Sonic any second now.)

Sarah Jane bolted, evading them for only a moment before strong hands had gripped her arms and she was surrounded. She was shrieking her surprise, but she was not screaming, she was not hurt, only offended and alarmed.
The Doctor's coat is enormous on her, the fabric bunching around her arms, cushioning that grip, Enough so that she realized she could yank out of it. Dropping her seven and a half stone straight down, raising her arms, she manages to slip from their grasp. They have her again, two steps later, but now she is kicking at shins.
"Doctor!" She yells, looking for him, frightened for him.

"Now hold on-" He was cut off by the Splotians trying to get a hold of him, within a instant he and Sarah Jane tried to run for it.
The Doctor halted when he heard Sarah Jane's shriek, turning around and automatically reaching inside his pockets trying to get ahold of his sonic screwdriver.
"Doctor!" He hears Sarah Jane call for him, and rushes to her. Pulling her from the savages grasps, holding his sonic at them.
"Leave her alone. Now unless you want to face my..." The Doctor paused for a split second as his mind swirled with the possibilities of what he could call it to make them back away. "Magic sound stick, I suggest you answer the questions I want to know.
He looked at each of the New Splotians in turn, trying to give them the best "I dare you to try anything" look. The Doctor kept Sarah Jane close as to make sure they didn't try to sacrifice her or himself to their volcano.
This is exactly Why the council should find other Timelords to do their dirty work. Honestly, all he wanted was to take Sarah Jane to Veqqui to see the singing flowers. But no-o-o-o, the council had to make him change over some dang crystal, when they could have simply gotten someone else. Why... Why was it always him?!

Alec frowned, not having anticipated the Sonic. Now he could only watch...
"All hail Darke Lourd! All hail Darke Lourd!" the Splotians chanted.
"What?!" Alec asked aloud.
Then it clicked. The last person in New Splotian history to wield a "Magic Sound Stick" was one hundred years ago, none other than yours truly.
Some way, somehow, the natives believed the Doctor to be an alternate avatar of himself.
"Hail the Darke Lourd, who has brought the evil Kandie Strype to us!" Alec nearly gagged hearing this.
"You insufferable idiots!" he yelled as if they could hear.

The Doctor made a long arm and plucked her neatly from the crowd. She was feeling poorly about having lost his coat in the scuffle, but he was to busy right now to give her any grief for it. She tucked around half behind him, she watched the riled folk with wide eyes. It was everything she could do to keep a straight face when the Doctor called his Sonic Screwdriver a Magic Sound Stick. It wouldn't even ocurre to him to call it a weapon, would it? He wouldn't want to frighten them.
She couldn't have been more surprised by what happened next and now stood mouth agape.
"All hail Darke Lourd! All hail Darke Lourd!" the Splotians chanted. It was a fine turn of events. She gave the Doctor's sleeve a little tug and said as as dryly as she could.
"Tell them I'm nice, Darke Lourd."

"All hail Darke Lourd! All hail Darke Lourd!" They started chanting after the Doctor pulled out his Sonic.
This was unexpected. However if it would save them than who was he to argue.
"Hail the Darke Lourd, who has brought the evil Kandie Strype to us!"
"Tell them I'm nice, Darke Lourd." Sarah said as she tugged on his sleeve.
"Right. This isn't the 'evil Kandie Strype,' the evil Kandie Strype chose the image of this woman here, to confuse you." The Doctor explained in a rather convincing fashion. "Got it?"
The Doctor grinned at Sarah Jane, before looking back at the Splotians for their reactions.

"I don't know why anyone would want to put up something so frightening to loom over your heads every day." She said, pitching her voice to reach the crowd. " I do know it is there to frighten you and make you feel bad! I wouldn't trust anyone who put such a thing where I had to walk under every day. Is that how you want to live your lives?" She implored.

The villagers looked a bit confused. "Us can live with no evil god?" one asked.
Alec furrowed his eyebrows. The villagers were listening to reason. This was where he intervened. Out of a nearby cave he came, vampiric silver mask remiscent of Dracula, Sonic flaring in hand, and everything else covered in a large black cloak. "She speaks against the gods, she must pay!" the mask distorted his voice, transforming it into a true avatar of death.
He needed to turn them on the Doctor as well, or he would do something clever. "And her warrior! He masquerades as myself! Blasphemy!" he shouted.
The Splotians advanced, spears thrusting.

"Now see here, why does this "Darke Lourd" where a mask? Why would he have to hide his face from those who worship him?" The Doctor asked with a grin, making sure to give Sarah Jane a look that seemed to say "get ready to run for our lives." "Aren't you all the least bit curious? Or maybe he...
The Doctor pointed to the man in the mask.
"Is just trying to cause unneccasary choas in your everyday life? Why are you attacking us? Those who came here to help, not frighten. Not to scare you all with big statues that are looming over you, every day, making you fear it's very existance." He shrugged as he and Sarah Jane backed away from their weapons. "Shouldn't you really be going after the one who started it all? Oh I'm the Doctor by the way."

She listened to the Doctor with half an ear as she stood close to him in the confused mob. They nudged each other a little this way and that as they avoided the pointy bits aimed at them. Sarah kept an eye on their back, and also looked for 'plan b'. They should not run toward the little town, she thought. Heading for the volcano would be a odd choice and just the sort of unexpected sort of thing the Doctor might do, however it did look quite a bit uphill. There was a little glade off toward the direction of the 'sun', but no doubt the people of New Splot new it too well and would have the advantage.
Farther round the bed though was a deep ravine that was already out of sunlight. Steep and dark, seeming to lead to forest and bog land that choked the valley to a lake broad enough to be an ocean inlet, and the hint of a greater city perhaps three klicks away.
If the Doctor bolted, she'd try to drag him in the direction of the ravien and the city beyond. Certainly not everyone on this planet could be so very backward.

One of the villagers tilted his head. "Strange words not make one great!" he chanted.
Alec grinned. That villager may or may not have just quoted him.
"You speak against the gods!" another one said.
The Timelord grinned behind his mask at the repetivenedd, the blunt stupidity of the New Splotians.
"We shall kill you both!" they all said in unison, rushing forward with their spears.
Alec frowned. "Stop!" he said. All the Splotians looked at him, confused. "Take the woman to the mouth of the cave, inside I shall perform a special execution!" he ordered. He actually sounded intimidating with his deep, garbled voice.
Half of the villagers rushed the Doctors, about six of them, trying to spear him to death. The other six rushed Sarah Jane, in an attempt to drag/direct/knock-out-and-toss her to the cave opening.
