Troubles of Ronisaka - Part 1
Jan. 26th, 2024 05:25 pmDoctor Who – Troubles of Ronisaka
The TARDIS materialised on a coral outcrop.
“The TARDIS is underwater?” Clara Oswald asked as she looked at the console.
“Yes. We’re on Neohonshu, a planet colonised mostly by the Japanese. 95% of it is covered in oceans,” the Doctor answered.
“That’s why we’re underwater,” Clara realised. “But how are we going to get anywhere?”
“You think the TARDIS wouldn’t be equipped for such a situation?
Clara looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit, the sub suit looked stylish. ‘I guess this is something the Doctor came across rather than something the Time Lords came up with,’ she thought as she made a final touch. She tied her hair up in two buns above her ears, completing the Nihon-derived style. Wait, had the Doctor been to Neohonshu before? She had earlier asked about the collapsible helmet. “Collapsible helmets are cool,” he had said. Sure, they’re cool, but she was sure that something could go wrong too.
Entering the Console Room, the Doctor saw that Clara was already there, waiting pensively at the door. He had to admit, the combination of suit and hairstyle suited her. She seemed to have a sense for what would look the most pretty. He dismissed that line of thought. “One thing,” Clara said.
“Oh?”
“There don’t seem to be air tanks.”
The Doctor placed his right hand on her shoulder, causing her to give a small smile. “Artificial gills. They extract breathable oxygen from the water,” he explained.
“And the Carbon Dioxide?”
“Extracted from the helmet and dissolved into the water. Nothing will go wrong,” he reassured. He clicked his fingers in his left hand, and the door opened, with the water not entering the TARDIS. “Ready?”
“Yes,” Clara answered. She pressed the button, raising the helmet. The Doctor took his hand off her shoulder and raised his own helmet. He then took her hand.
“Geronimo!”
Clara wasn’t really ready for the Doctor to jump out of the TARDIS into the water, but she recovered quickly enough to follow him smoothly. She clicked her fingers, closing the TARDIS doors. She looked forwards and below, and saw a small submarine town on the edge of the atoll. She and the Doctor swam towards it.
( The town was busier than expected )

Excerpt from: Mystery in the Forest
“Does this happen a lot?” Illana asked.
“No,” the Doctor answered.
Clara looked at him.
“Yes,” he admitted.
Illiana sighed again. “We need to do better than that if we are to find out what it is.”
“I agree,” Clara said.

The Doctor lead the way, although Kaelyn knew the way through Lawndale much better than he did. It didn’t take them that long to get to the High School.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“This is good too,” Ben said.
“Thanks!”
“So, is it true?” Anna asked.
“What is true?”
“That you fell out with Sandi?” Anna answered.
“It’s more that she fell out with us,” Quinn answered. “It was just a long time coming. It’s just that me being in grief brought it about.”
“Grief does change people,” Ben added.
‘There’s something there,’ Quinn thought.
They talked for another ten minutes before Anna had to go and Quinn grew antsy.
“See you later,” Anna said as she left.
“I better go too,” Ben said.
Soon, SpiderGirl left Lawndale High from above the library. She headed to the south, towards downtown. She wasn’t sure what to make of Gerald leaving when he did. What was it that he refused to hear? She wasn’t sure. ‘But what can I do to connect with him and to help him connect to Anna and Ben?’
She needed a second opinion. She paused and turned to the west, to head towards the Pizza place.
Daria was alone at the Pizza place again, when Quinn entered. “The same?” she asked as she came up to her sister.
“Jane was here, but she had to leave early,” Daria said.
“Oh.”
“But that isn’t why you’re here, is it?”
“No,” Quinn admitted.
“Was it to do with those ‘misfits’?”
“Yes. It’s going well with Ben and Anna, but not Gerald.”
“What happened?” Daria asked.
“Like I did an icebreaker thing, meeting them in the library and asking them to find books they were interested in.”
“You got one on fashion?”
“Close,” Quinn said with a slight giggle. “One on drawing.”
“Got it,” Daria said. She saw that Quinn was shifting her interests.
“But that wasn’t the problem.”
“One of them didn’t want to share.”
“Oh, he shared,” Quinn said.
“When you shared,” Daria said.
“Yes.”
“I see.”

Chasing Time - Part 1
Dec. 29th, 2022 05:18 pmDoctor Who – Chasing Time
Clara Oswald was ready to go home. She had had several adventures with the Doctor since he had picked her up from the Maitland’s. She entered the Console Room. “Are we almost there?” she asked.
“We are,” the Doctor said, confidently. The TARDIS then came to a halt. “We’re there.”
Clara exited the TARDIS find that she wasn’t where she expected to be. “Doctor!”
The Doctor emerged from the TARDIS and looked at the house which had a façade which was a mirror image of the one which the Maitlands resided in. “Let me check,” he said.
Clara followed him back into the TARDIS. “Where are we?”
“Somewhere in Birmingham, about a month early,” the Doctor said as he looked at the scanner.
“A month? That’s a lot of time to spend on the Slow Path,” Clara considered.
“Too long,” the Doctor said. “But we may be here for a reason.”
“Of course,” Clara said as she used her phone to look at a news website. She found that it didn’t list anything unusual.
“Anything?”
“No,” Clara said with a sigh.
“Let’s try anyway.”
( The TARDIS materialised again, across the street a day later. )
