An Unearthly Sound, an Unearthly Man {OPEN}

[The 11th Doctor]

[Christmas Eve, Cardiff, Wales]

A slight, cold wind blew across the grassy field. The leaves of the few large Oak trees that stood there blew slightly. It was merely another night on the Dinsemere farm some miles out of Cardiff, Wales.

A single, stray cat prowled across the field, it's light feet moving noiselessly over the springy grass. It's brown, darkish fur barely stood out against the night sky. It's eyes flickered back and forth, searching for prey or predator somewhere on the vast field.

Suddenly, the cat's ears pricked up ever so slightly. The wind was blowing faster now, faster than it had been blowing a minute before. But that wasn't it. There was a sound, a faint sound becoming stronger by the second. The cat's ears sprang up to full height, straining to hear the sound.

Yes, yes it was clear now. A sound, a loud sound, an unearthly sound. The sound of a machine from a far, far away place, beyond vast galaxies and enormous worlds, through time and space it's very self.

Vworp, vworp.

And slowly, ever so slowly, a machine began to appear before the startled cat. Some thing otherworldly, in the guise of something earthly. Yet the cat did not run. It had nothing to fear. It felt...safe.

The wind was blowing harshly now, blowing back the grass and the few leaves scattered backward, swirling round and around in a vast funnel of air. And the sound. To the cat, the sound was now near-deafening.

VWORP, VWORP

A box, a blue box. A strange box. Suddenly, the front of the box popped open, and slowly began to swing outwards.

A head poked out, looking around slowly. It's eyes alighted on the cat.


The Doctor grinned.

"Hello, kitty."

[Oracle]

Oracle wrapped her jacket around her some as she walked down the road she had been in town to looking at the Christmas decorations, not that she personally celebrated the winter holiday but still it was nice, and plus she liked the cold that came with the season.

She thought it was getting darker so she figured it would probably be a good idea to get off the road she was walking on...if she remembered correctly there was a sorta dirt path up the road a ways that no one hardly ever used at least then she could do her light bulb trick so she could properly see where she was going.

Turning and heading down the dirt road a ways she looked behind her to make sure no one would see, when she felt the coast was clear enough she ran some of her electric current through her body so she lit up some so she could see. While she walked she started to hum one of the Christmas songs she had read in a book as a child...well it wasn’t a Christmas song but it went to the rhythm of one “ Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a hamster tree, Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a hamster tree, But it was eaten by a newt, And now I have no cuddly fruit Oh woe is me, oh woe is me I used to have a hamster tree. she danced around a little as she sung and walked down the road.

[The 11th Doctor]

The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS, looking back and forth. He wore a blue bowtie, and his worn brown jacket. His green eyes slowly wandered around the field looking at this and that. The cat crept slightly towards him, curious. It meowed tentatively.

The Doctor smiled, then knelt down next to it. He reached out attempting to touch the cat.

"Come here boy. Woof, woof!"

The cat crept backwards again, startled. Baring it's teeth, it hissed at him.

"Bitey. Yeas. I'll call you Bitey. Mr. Bitey." A large grin broke out across the Doctor's face, and he sniffed the air.

"Ooh. 2015. Good year for watermelons. And Ood. Ood like 2015. Or is it 2005? That's a good year for Goulash. Goulash is good. Fibers help your body grow....."

The Doctor trailed off, stopping his nonsensical rant.

He smelled in deeper.

"I smell...Christmas!" The Doctor's grin grew even wider.

The cat hissed at him again.

"Crazy? no, I'm not crazy."

The cat purred.

"The bowtie?" The Doctor touched his bowtie, adjusting it slightly.

"It's a bowtie. I wear them. They're cool."

The cast meowed in frustrated manner.

"Nerdy? No, I'm most certainly not nerdy! I'm a Space Gandalf!!"

The cat meowed again, it's hissing purr sounding almost like laughter.

"What part of that is nerdy? It's cool. Gandalf is cool!"

Suddenly, the Doctor stopped chatting with the cat, and turned around. A sad look spread across his face.

"Of course. And what else should I expect, in bloody Cardiff?"

The Doctor took a deep sniff.

"Aliens. I smell...evil. something very, very evil.

[Oracle]

Oracle had been walking down the dirt road, not really paying any attention to where she was heading, whistling the goofy hamster tree song. She had stopped next to a field debating if it would be quicker to cut across...you never knew with these Cardiff farmers there was always that off chance they could be near by waiting for a chance for some poor soul who’d been stealing their crops to happen by so they could fire a warning shot off at them.

Humans... she’d quit trying to figure them out years ago, readjusting her bag so it wouldn’t bouncing all around the place or anything falling out, she placed one leg over the fence and moved into the night light of the open field, reading herself to run, the running was the fun part, stopping the light she was emitting she dug her heals into the ground if it hadn’t been cold she’d of taken her shoes before she took off but this time of year...not really an option.

Without a second thought she took off in a dead sprint across the field.

[Alistair Kingston]

Another cat leaped on to the top of the TARDIS, then onto the Doctor's head, then to the ground.
It looked up, with rainbow colored eyes, suddenly, it morphed into an Orangutan and snatched the fez of the good Doctors head.

It tears it in half and places in it's mouth, before chewing in for about a minute, then it spits out the former fez, which is now nothing but red goo, and places it back on the Doctor's head and gives him a brief slap, then headbutts him.

It then sees a nearby bystander, and leaps on him beating him savagely.

It returns and curls into a ball, then stands up as a man, a perfect duplicate of the Doctor, Fez goop and all.

"Hello, I'm the Alistair, I wear a banana now, banana's are allons-y."

A banana has some how appeared on his head perfectly balanced.

He grins madly.

[The 11th Doctor]

The Doctor grinned as the Fez was ripped off of his head by an Orangutan, who turned into a perfect duplicate of him, with a banana perched atop his head.

"You're the Energy reading my TARDIS' sensors picked up, aren't you."

Eleven pointed a sonic screwdriver at Alistair.

"What are you...?"

Bitey hissed , alarmed, and sprang forward, hissing at the perfect duplicate of his newfound friend.

[Oracle]

Oracle bolted a little ways into the field; out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw two people standing in the middle of the field, she slowed to a jog then completely stopped “Hey don’t you know people....” she started to say something about people not wanting others walking through their field at night but stopped herself cause it was exactly what she was doing.

She started to approach the two, hey maybe they’d make good marks and she’d be able to score some loot off them. She’d not tried anything in town because there had been extra police around due to it being the holidays and all. “Seriously though you two should bounce.”

[Alistair Kingston]

((Pass.))

[The 11th Doctor]

The Doctor gazed at the newcomer, not surprised in the least.


"You. You're-"

The Doctor was cut off by an ominous rattling sound from behind Alistair.

"No. No. Not now!!" The Doctor had a frustrated look on his face as he slowly raised his arm. It was adorned with one scratch, made by a ballpoint pen.

"...and Silence will fall." murmured the Doctor.

"You, the one with the banana on his head, turn around. and don't turn away. whatever you do, keep your eyes behind you. Whatever you see...don't run. Or else you won't remember."

Slowly, the Doctor himself rotated, until he was facing the opposite direction that Alistair, if he'd followed instructions, would be facing.

"Oh, I hate being right."

Two Silence stood before him, dressed in formal business suits. It seemed like some morbid fact that the evilest monsters on Earth were adorned in Armani loafers.

The Silence moved their large, pink, skull-like heads in a snakelike manner, their eyes focused on the Doctor.

"Doctor. He who will answer the Question. The bringer of death. The destroyer of the Silence. He who has lived many lives. Last of the Time Lords!!"

"I'm not the last of anything." The Doctor slowly raised his hand and marked it with the pen twice more.

"Doctor. you and your companions will die.[/i"

"No. You two, run! Just RUN!" The doctor screamed at Alistair and Oracle."

Turning, he he raced across the field, darting towards his TARDIS. Even as the memory of why he must run vanished, four more Silence appeared in his line of sight, blocking the TARDIS.

[Oracle]

“Oh you have got to be kidding me.” The last time she had run into The Doctor she’d ended up bopping him in the nose when his TARDIS materialized in front of her and he’d stuck his head out, needless to say not the best impression but it was in the past.

What was that noise? Then she saw them like some bad E.T. movie reject or something in their business suits. She blinked and turned her head ...what was she looking at again? She couldn’t remember and then she saw them again and remembered. She hadn’t been looking for a fight but if she didn’t have a choice in the matter she was going to go down kicking as it where.

"Doctor. you and your companions will die." “Ya I’d like to see you try.” she charged up some electricity in her hands "No. You two, run! Just RUN!" “Run? But you just said don’t, MAKE UP YOUR MIND!” she threw the charge at one of the silence aiming at it’s chest then started to run. As soon as she turned she stopped why was she running again?

[Alistair Kingston]

Alistair looked at one of them, still looking like the Doctor, then jumped on it.

"Silence! Silence!" He forced his hands into it's sockets, removing the eyes, then the face.

Crack, it's skull was wide open, he lowered his face into broken forehead. And ate.

"Knowledge! Eyedrive! Question!" He slapped both hands over his left eye, then lowered them, an eye patch like devise covering his eye.

He warped the blood from his clothes, then leaped on Oracle. He slapped her eye, letting his hand stay there.

"Eyedrive!" When he moved his hand, she too was wearing one

"You want the Doctorman! But is he me or him?!" He calmly asked, mimicking The Doctors voice. Come get me! Ehehehehehehe!" He shouted, then he frowned.

"No, I'm bored of this. Let's play a new game! It's called Snap!"

Suddenly, like lightening he jumped at each on, snapping as many of their necks as he could.

"Crackle!"

He shot a wave of flames from his mouth leaving them only crackling ashes.

"Pop-"

Suddenly he collapsed, in a heap.

"No! No! No! Not now!"

His powers had left him for now.

"No fun!!"

[Oracle]

(OOC hope you don't mind Eleven I had a muse )

Oracle watched as Alistair ate the Silences brain “When you think you’ve seen everything the universe surprises you.” Oracle made a disgusted face and let out a squeak when Alistair jumped on her “oi! get off me brain breath.” she was about to fry him when he slapped something on her eye, and then she remembered what was going on.

Scrambling to her feet she let the electricity ride down her arms “Now...who wants some?” she watched as Alistair burnt some of the Silence then collapsed. She wasn’t trying to be mean or condescending or anything “Probably not the best time to do that.”
